8Bit Pokemon Ringtones for iPhone

LastDance New Zealand510 Posts October 31 2013 05:04 GMT #1 The other day my colleague's cellphone went off with a very old school and nostalgic tune as a ringtone, it was the Super Mario theme. This: The thing that really got me was how good the 8 bit chiptune sounded as a ringtone. This got me thinking of other iconic Gameboy tunes that would port well as mobile ringtones. The first game that came to mind was Pokémon. I then went to hunt down the original Pokémon soundtrack and then sampled the most appropriate tracks. I was mainly looking for alertive and fast tracks - they seemed most appropriate as ringtones - so I landed on some battle themes and some event tracks. Call me old school but 8 bit chiptune sounds far nicer than polyphonic for ringtones. You can download the ringtones here: http://trianglepoints.com/2013/879/8-bit-pokemon-red-blue-iphone-ringtones These were made with an application by TL's main sponsor The Little App Factory aka Shiny Things Enjoy

(with the longwinded ass process you have to use for every MP3 you want as a ringtone on ur iphone) Its not file format that makes the sound 8bit, is it?

LastDance New Zealand510 Posts October 31 2013 05:43 GMT #5 No, the file format does not make it 8 bit. it's the 8 bit is just the chiptune. Apparently you can just change the extension to .m4a and it will work on android http://deputycio.com/5002/m4r-ringtone-on-android
