Ripping Sound From Atari Lynx

[culturepunk]

Anyone know if its possible to rip the music from an atari lynx game. I would like the music from the intro screen from california games for a project im working on.

I am not too familiar with the system, but what about using an emulator and recording the music from it?

I tried Handy for Windows, recorded a sample of the music and upped it in OGG on Rapidshare so you can check how it sounds.

Thanks thats great, just what I wanted.

May I ask what did you use to record it? Just windows recorder or something? I would like the whole song off the start if possible.

...Im on Ubuntu at home, so if anyone knows anything that can record the system sound on that then that would be great.

As I was at work, I just downloaded the first free application I could google up

The fate wanted it to be Audacity, which seems to be friends with Ubuntu. Have to admit there was some skipping in the emulated music at times, but it might have been just this PC or a wrong settings in Handy or whatever.

If you have an actual Lynx, you could just hook the headphone socket up with your sound card's input socket and use Windows recorder thingy.

ah thats probably better idea! Ill have to get it out of the loft. Its a bit jerky the sound on emulators I tried for that game for some reason.

My Lynx is so freaking loud, that if I play it here in Oz, you will here it in UK.

Yer, it's a proper hand held the Lynx is. You younguns today - with your 16GB cards and 266Mhz!

Haha, yeah, the Lynx's volume is insane! My brother's got one - the older massive version. I was seriously jealous of him back in the day, it was a much more impressive beast than my Game Gear. It's been handed down to my other brother now, and still works as far as I know. Shame they painted them - it's all chipped off and looks like ass now.

Gates of Zendocon was fucking awesome, and the Lynx version of Gauntlet with the vertical screen setting was easily one of the best ports of the game

You can pick them up off eBay for peanuts...

... and the Lynx version of Lemmings was brilliant - identical to the Amiga version - the only thing missing was the particle effect when lemmings explode...
