(Seems like this turned into a request thread ... as long as Racer445 doesn't mind, I'll keep it stickied, even though there's now a section in the file archive) Thanks to Racer445 for the sounds and idea for the sticky

Note: Ignore the attached file ... I'm a fucking idiot

More info about it that I posted in the Firmware v2.0 info thread:

Well I did some more research on why it comes out squeaky sounding. The rate must be 22050 Hz or else it will be converted down when put on the 2x, which changes the speed of the sound. That is the cause of the squeakies!

EDIT: WOOOOOOT! I finally got the car sound to work correctly! I will turn the volume up a little and post it.

It's uploaded here! Try it out... There is some noticable noise from the horrid recording, but if you plug it into good speakers it sound nice.

I like the old Macintosh 80s startup sound, but I couldn't get it to work. I finally used Audacity (windows version) to convert the AIFF file to a WAV, Sound Recorder (bleah) to make it 22khz, 16 bits, Stereo, inserted it into the actual GP2X startup sound (gp2xsound.wav) and trimming it and making what remained of the gp2x startup sound silence instead of that stupid twinkly noise. Here is what I got:

Putfile- Gp2x Ding

For people who have seen that and want to make your GP2X sound like mine,

freewebs.com/atomicthumbs/gp2xsound.wav

Make sure you have lots of space on your SD card (a good policy for ANY firmware upgrade), put this in the root of the card, turn your GP2X off, and hold Start + Select as it starts up.

I love it, bravo!

We should really have a sticky for all these sounds.

Great job on that!

Thanks!

Thread is going to be merged and stickied.

Hang on ... oky. DAMN this merge topic thing is confusing

Hehe... I bet.

How do you change the startup sound after you've upgraded the firmware? (or is it explained in one of the threads that'll be merged here?)

Sorry, I fucked up when merging the topics.

You make or edit a .wav to be 2.70 seconds long (though Racer445 says 2.71 ... he got them to work ), Stereo, 22kbs and rename it to "gp2xsound.wav"

Then stick it on a formatted SD card, and then in your GP2X. Boot while holding start + select and you will (should) see a firmware upgrading screen. Voila! Cool new sound

I did it by making it 2.705125 seconds long, 22.50 khz, 16 bits, stereo. I basically just changed the original sound file instead of making a new one.

That is the same thing I did to get the car sound to work... That could be the only way to get it to work.

i was wondering if someone could get the old sonic "segaaaa" tune working?
that would be AWESOME!!!!

i dont know how to do it thou

Done for you, have fun =)

SHOULD WORK, but if it doesn't please fix it and post it so I can update it.

Edit: Tested it myself. Works, I like it, and I'm keeping it.

Before I start, I would just like to make it clear that what I'm about to say is not a joke (but I do expect to have the piss taken and hopefully an entry in the lol files )

Well here goes:

I have made a gp2xsound.wav file containing 2.7 seconds of 22.50 khz, 16 bits, stereo silence. I don't want everyone to know every time I turn on my GP2X.

I was wondering if it would worth uploading for other people who can't be bothered to make theire own.

Of course I could get sued by John Cage but I'm willing to take the risk

My god that sega sound is AMAZING! thank you soo much

as long as the card is formatted with the sound on it, any chance of bricking the unit? i just came from 1.0.1 to 2.0.0 and i was scared the entire way

I like the official one.

ah yes but you also like carpet tiles


Need to dig out my BBC Model B for that lovely distorted two tone beep sound

is there any way to upgrade without having to format? it takes about an hour to put everything back on my 1gig card

u don't need to format ure card, just place the gp2xsound.wav in the root of your sd card and then hold start+select while turning ure gp2x on

Nice sound! The SAY-GA sound during boot is awsome.

I am going to make one with the famous first six notes of SMB 1. Stay tuned.

So does holding start+select with only the sound on the sd card only replace the sound file? It does not reformate the nand or repartion it or anything.

Can you explain exactly what happens?

Exactly , as long as the sound file is the only firmware related thing on your sd .

It does just as you said .

SMB1 ftw!

Oooh dang you beat me to it.

I need more sounds!

Now if someone would just take the time to make it say: "Gaaame Paaark..." Maybe with a grunt that says "holdings" that'd be cool.

rofl thatd be hilarious

New one because I'm bored =)

Just listen to it, not going to comment one bit...

Can't you just make a vdub script that will automatically make these from any sound file ??

Lmao! I'll see if I can...

Can anyone make a Intel sound?

Can you brick your gp2x doing this?

another sega related tune request, could someone make the "SEGA" scream? not the original one, the one from sonic 3d blast that has a guy screaming it?

I have a sould file i want to use to make or change the set up i'll post it when i can its th eneogeo start up

" HYPER MEGA SHOCK NEOGEO " thingy.

I doubt that you can brick your gp2x doing this, it doesn't touch other files except for the wav file

I've made 4 Speak and spell boot sounds.
[Gp2X]........... "Gee.Pee.Two.Ex"
[Gp2X_machine]... "Gee.Pee.Two.Ex.Machine"
[Gp2x_Ready]..... "Gee.Pee.Two.Ex.Ready"
[Welcome2Gp2X]... "Welcome.To.Gee.Pee.Two.Ex"

Here on The Archive

It's aliiive !

Is there any possible way (different firmware?) to use longer samples (Say, up to 7 seconds for the Neo-Geo boot up jingle )?

Not sure if this is of any use, but I have very quickly knocked up some startup sounds. Quality isn't superb, just playing really:

Startups.zip

Have fun

cool ideas

-the guy saying 'resident evil..' whenever you start a game which sounds pretty cool (I like the RE:CV one)
-the classic chime in LoZ games when you solve a puzzle.

Can I somehow make the start-up sound louder? Seems kinda low....

REQUEST FOR STARTUP SOUNDS!

EM Pinball machine starting up, if your old enough to have played one you'll know what i mean:)
THX sound.
Williams Defender initialisation sound.
Frogger coin up sound.

not sure of the compatability of these.

many thanks for your effort in advance.

GaRy:)

Compatibility for startup-sounds=must be less than 2.7 seconds.

Can't do any of those sounds however, but I just wanted to let you know

That's a bummer :[ I've been trying to get the "success" tune from FF7 to work, but it's about 4 seconds long. I wouldn't be suprised if this length restriction can be changed in the boot or kernel source.

If you are a certian age, you might like this one. It is quite quiet, tried increasing the volume using Audacity, but it didn't work.

It says "Here Comes Bod" from cracking kids program from the seventies called Bod. Bring back Aunt Flo!

One of the Zelda jingle might be nice.

Da Da Da Duuuum!
"You got the GP2X!
With this you can watch
movies, listen to music
or play emulated games!"

I made a nice one, how do I submit it to the file archives?

Just register there ... it's free and easy

Cool, added
