Turbo/PCE ringtones

spenoza · 05/01/2011, 03:05 PM

Has anyone taken any cool sound effects or musical diddies and turned them into cell phone ringtones, either MIDI or MP3? I finally have a cell phone I can get ringtones onto without paying an arm and a leg, and I'm thinking I need to spruce things up. I have a CD or original arcade chip music from some Capcom games, including Street Fighter 2, and have already made a couple tones (SF2 versus, etc...), but some PCE ones would be rather cool. Since most ringtones are limited to 20 seconds or repeat, it would be nice to see some artistically crafted, rather than just "Here's 20 secs of rocking music, dude!"

I made a bunch of NES, MD and PCE ringtones a while back.

The ones that get the most use are the title screen of Dragon's Fury/Devil Crash MD and the boss theme from Monster Lair Turbo CD.

I made a few Turbo ringtones (Lords of Thunder, Dungeon Explorer II, Dragon Slayer,and Parasol Stars) and uploaded them to Mobiles24.com where you can download them for free.

I wonder if there's a turbo-focused site where we could host such things. Y'know, centrally.

I would really like to have the Keith Courage title screen theme as a ring tone!

That's a good one! I'll work on that when I have some free time (hopefully soon).

I grabbed a midi file here that I use for a ring tone:

If you have an android smartphone you can use the app ring droid to make ringtones and notifications from any mp3s. You specify what part of the song you want to use. Currently I have the music from stage 2 of Nexzr as my ring tone

Because it is a MIDI file, it sounds out of tune.

No doubt. Some of those sound really awful. But a lot of them are still close enough to evoke that chill when you hear it. (If you're nerdy enough to get a chill when you hear certain TG-16 tunes!)

Most modern phones, if you sent a 20 sec MP3 clip attached to an email to your phone providers text messaging interface, when you get the text on your phone you can use the attachment as a ringtone.
