Thanks for reply. It does sound like Nintendo game.
Usually this kind of stuff you can hear in hackers stuff only like cracks and game trainers.

Lol i just heard this at login. I thought I’d busted my sound card, lol. I just so happen to be messing around with my sound card and wires all over my mobo this afternoon. I thought, “Oh great, now the sound on all my games is going to be like nintendo…”

So sorry. If it wasn’t April Fool’s Day in your location, I assure you it was elsewhere.

Hope you enjoyed the “musical interlude” and the amazing content. “Graphics too awesome for one game” is what I say.

Picture this, It around 6 PM on a Sunday. You just installed a new video card, fire up the computer let it do all of its driver installs. Very glad it wasn’t a DOA. Than you think, Hmmmmm wonder how my favorite game runs on this machine? You start up the game and get greeted by this midi music.

So you start a process of trouble shooting including the download of beta video drivers, and trying every sound driver you can that may work while deleting and reinstalling devices. I even uninstalled the video card reverted back to the old one. Still half channel music. Thinking, Ok, my onboard sound is hosed, I head towards Microcenter to get me a USB sound adapter. Come to find out they were closed due to Easter.

Messed around with the computer some more still confused because everything tests out but the game is still half channel sound. And when I Googled, up pops this thread.

Thanks for letting me vent, I feel better now.

Oh man, that’s hilariously awful. I mean, obviously not while it was happening. I can sympathize.

I loved that music, it reminds me of playing games when I was young.
