### [FDS] FDS Memory (GBメモリ: CGB mode)

- Quote

What I honestly believe to be the best menu music ever written for any Nintendo device, this is the game menu music for Nintendo Power Japan's 「GBメモリカートリジ」official flash cartridge when it's in CGB mode (the music in B/W GB is different, and much less catchy). Discontinued in 2007, the idea for this short, quick cover came about after imagining a somewhat modern FDS flash system that would connect to the RAM adapter and let you load games into memory from a small flash device.
This is the music it plays in my mind.

Groovy, I really like this. I do find the vibratos a little weird but they don't make this worse by any means.
Good job on this. :D

Yeah, I was trying to emulate the 1-semitone-wide Modulator vibrato a lot of early FDS games used. It worked out well enough, but I'd rather have it sound a little quirky rather than the boring flat tones of the original.

Hi! I'm not really active here anymore but I still make music. Nowadays I mostly make dubstep with emphasis on good melodies and chord progressions.

Neat tune. I'm surprised Nintendo had an official flash cartridge?

Yep, there were Super Famicom ones, too, though I'm willing to bet that the consumer GB ones play heavily off of the technology in the DMG-MBC5-32M-FLASH prototype test cartridges.

So I just found out that Loopy recently made something that works exactly as described in the OP.

This songs sounds great. The vibratos on the FDS instrument sounds very like the ones at the time except in this cover the instrument isn't overpowering the song that many songs fell victim to. The song is also very catchy, good job on the music theory. By the way, I'm actually interested in this CGB mode and in acquiring the original music rip as I don't have it.
