I've been playing Pocket Monsters on Game Boy emulator

[Lionel Rosen]

I have the Red Version in Japanese. Does anyone recommend a game like Pocket Monsters?
Are there other games like Pocket Monsters?

Cute. Try Dragon Quest Monsters.

 

[Lionel Rosen]

Thank you! This looks fun.

 

[Lionel Rosen]

This is interesting!

that bgm is really high pitched and screechy

8-bit sound is music to my ears, I can listen to it hours.

 

[Lionel Rosen]

I am trying different emulators now to see if there is a difference. Any recommendations?

 

[Lionel Rosen]

So far, after trying no less than 6 emulators. Higan seems best with sound. Here is ポケットモンスタ.

pure nostalgia

And now I got curious. I read the entire Nintendo Engineers Manual for Game-Boy.
It wasn't as involved as the manuals for ATMEL chipsets and got right into OBJ handling and bitmaps.
Which was rather strange. And nice!

Chapter 3, Page 79 deals with the sound specific operations of the device. 4 Types. There's 2 pulse waves, 4-bit channel and noise.

Oh boy, I wish I kept my Pocket Monsters chip from back then. Where would the best place to get one?

 

[Lionel Rosen]

I had to purchase my copy from E-Bay. A seller is distributing directly from Japan. At least the original version from サトシタジリ。「Satoshi Tajiri]

For some more nostalgia. The engineer behind Red and Blue versions was 森本茂樹
