    Are you fed up not being able to find decent game music ring tones for your mobile? I know I was so that's why I made over 100 by my self. I'm thinking of setting up a mobile game ring tones page for FREE downloads. However I'm only going to be providing 40 channel SMAF files. These are the standard in Japan apart from MP4 (which I won't do) so I'm guessing that western phones are also capable of playing SMAF files (ext - mmf) I know my brothers Samsung does. Anyway, what do you guys think? Is there any interest in this? The songs I will be putting up are really good quality unlike the shit you can download and have to pay for. Below are a few MP3 samples that I made by connecting my phone to the PC's line-in jack. As you can hear they sound very close to the originals !

    Chrono Trigger - http://www.segagagadomain.com/mobile/mobile-chrono.mp3

    Street Fighter Turbo (Ken's Theme) - http://www.segagagadomain.com/mobile/mobile-sfturbo-ken.mp3

    Super Aleste (Stage 2) - http://www.segagagadomain.com/mobile/mobile-aleste.mp3

    Axelay (Ending) - http://www.segagagadomain.com/mobile/mobile-axelay.mp3

    Silhouette Mirage (Stage 2) - http://www.segagagadomain.com/mobile/mobile-silhouette.mp3

    Vampire's Kiss (Akumajo Dracula XX) - http://www.segagagadomain.com/mobile/mobile-vampire.mp3

    The samples are only about 30 to 40 seconds long but the actual SMAF files last much longer. Max files size of the SMAF files will be 40KB.

    If anyone is interested in this idea then please post here. I don't want to bother if the service won't be used.

    Cool stuff, I got my phone set to the sounds of beatmania, orange lounge - for phone calls and tori from pop n music for my texts.

    I just ripped them from the ost, sounds great on my sony ericson.

    Anyway. cool idea yakumo, any chance you have done ryu's theme...

    Btw I had espgaluda's secret power track for my calls a while back and that was damn good.

    Yeah, I could do Ryu's Track, infact I think I've got it around on the Harddrive. For Emails I have Final Fantasy 6 overworld theme and calls uses a MP4 of the main Jet Set Radio theme. Short mails (maybe like a text mail) uses a voice sample from Burning Rangers.

    PS : Do you still have Espgaluda's secret power track? What format was it in? SMAF or MP3/4 ?

    To my shame, I just used the entire track of the (arcade) ost CD! It is a couple of megs but it sounds great and there is no issue with it being quite a large file, you could edit it down. Anyway it is in mp3.

  8. Awesome, I'd definitely be interested in video game cell phone ring tones, although I am not sure if my phone can play SMAF files. I can play mp3's and midi files I know for sure, but I've never had an SMAF file on hand to test it out with. Yakumo, is there any chance that you have one of the ring tones in SMAF format that you could post so people can test them out?

    http://vgmusic.com/ is a great place but they only do midi which to be honest sound crap compared to SMAF, especially on phones since they all have poor midi drivers (Yamaha music player is the BEST!! Try it out !)

    Two SMAF Files uploaded to my server which are from Super Shinobi and Yuu Yuu Hakusho. The Super Shinobi one should sound identical to the Mega Drive original. Yuu Yuu was a quick effort so that may sound distorted a little. I'll fix that before I add it for real.

  13. Well... bad news, my phone can't play this type of file. At least I can still play midi and mp3's though, much better than my old phone. My cell phone contract expires in January though so I'll be getting a new phone then, I'll make sure to get one that supports SMAF files.

    Very cool. As lame as this sounds, I've always wanted the music from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out where Little Mac is running (before you're given the code) as a ring tone. Never been able to find it or figure out how to do it myself.

    Interested, too. My phone can play MMF files but I'm not sure if they can be 40 channel....

    Teehee - I just got an NEC N343i i-mode phone for christmas, and much to my joy it can play SMAFs! ^__^

    EDIT: OK, I guess I won't be downloading anything tonight:

    That's what I get for downloading Adventure Island and realising it wasn't really worth the bother...

    Download the files with your PC then stick them on to a SD card or what ever your phone uses. that way you don't have to pay. By the way, is the i-mode in Europe still run by NTT DoCoMo like it is in Japan? They used to be No.1 over here until Vodafone bought up the remaining stock at JPhone two years back. Now Vodafone is kicking it's arse !! Nice to see a British company kick a Japanese company off the top spot in their own land :dance: :thumbsup:

    Surely you have Bluetooth or IR on your phone? That's what I use all the time, and it works perfectly... screw paying for midi files, dammit.

    Yakumo: TDC(former Tele Danmark/Denmark) has been bought by some fond , but before they did that, they made a deal with vodafone about wireless internet. Some card you can buy.

    Yeah, I wish! This phone cost €90 - it has 1.2MB of memory. That's it. And no IR or bluetooth either -_-. This is the amazing selection of i-mode phones in Ireland - yes, all TWO of them - and the other's not the kind of money I'd spend on a phone.

    I guess I could e-mail it to my phone actually - they're free... for now...

    O2 have i-mode here under license from NTT - same in the UK too. There's a list here on all the networks who have it now. They launched it here in October and tried to make a big fuss about it - big marquees over their shops and stuff - nobody seemed to care though and I pretty much have to tell everyone what the hell i-mode actually is when I talk about it.

    It's not exactly cheap here - I still get charged the usual 1 cent per KB for all GPRS data, and most the sites seem to require subscriptions which are usually €2 or €3 a month. But at least I can get real games - I was amazed how O2 have i-mode sites for the likes of Konami, Capcom, Sega, Hudson and Taito :thumbsup:
