Any place to dl free or very cheap ringtones relating to NES/SNES games?

I'm sorry, I don't know much about ringtones, because I don't have a cellphone, but Laura's MIDI Heaven was doing it for a while on accident. ;D

But the whole paying for videogame ringtones thing is kind of wrong because it infers that royalties are going to the original composers, which aren't, because most people get their ringtones from MIDIs which come from VGMusic, & I know for a fact that sometimes we can't identify the original composers when we sequence MIDIs.

Making money off of selling copyrighted music ringtones is illegal as well.

So in conclusion, you should be able to download NES ringtones for free. :)

I got mine in a package deal off 3Gupload.com.  I got SMB, Bionic Commando, and Mike Tyson's Punchout.  They had a few others also.  They even had an old scholl Doom one from the PC days, good stuff.  Like 9.99 for unlimted downloads for a year.

I used a theme from Doom on my last cell. The phone wasn't able to play the drums in the midi-file, it was still cool though. Now I use mp3s.

You will find alot of midi files here: http://www.vgmusic.com/
Midi isnt very NES like tho, so i recommend you to convert nsf files to mp3 instead, if your cellphone supports mp3 that is.

Heya Rhett, this thread inspired me to try my hand at making a small mp3 file for a ringtone.  I used a snippit from the Bayou Billy boss music.  It wasn't too hard to make, so if you would like me to make one for you (or anyone else for that matter), just let me know.  I'm probably going to make a section on my site for NES mp3 ringtones now :)  Here's the one I was just talking about if anyone wants to check it out in their phones:

Critique too, please.  That way I can make them as good as I can.  Remember to test it in a cell phone first, too.

That's awesome Roth, and something that would be unique to anyones site.  (For now!)  THe only thing I could think of is it lasting maybe 15 seconds, some people have a long ring setup.

Is it hard to format them for a phone, or is it pretty easy?


Off the top of my head, the SMB 1 main theme, Zelda over and underworld theme, and the main SMB 3 theme, and the start screen theme on Wizards & Warriors would be on my want list.  Those should be popular enough for other people to want them also.  But don't do them just for me yet, I haven't got the dl cables for my phone.


I'll be working on that, though.

I used to program tones on my phone when I was bored. My fav was the boss theme to Mega Man 2, although I also put the intro theme to Kid Icarus in since it was a nice happy short one.

Hey, I made those tones that you listed above not too long ago.  I made a page for them now:

If there are any other requests I'll go ahead and do them for anyone that wants some :)

Well my cellphone is almost to the point of being tits-up anyway.  I'll wait until my academy is done and sign up for a two year contract for a new one. (Academy is out in the boonies, I doubt I have cell service there.)


THanks for making those.  I appreciate it.

Rhett

Cool stuff! Keep up the good work, Roth! :)

I'd love to see a Faxanadu Password screen ring tone!

Cheers,

I got that Faxanadu password ringtone up now.  I also made a Castlevania ringtone.  You can get them from the page:

http://roth.zhxhome.net/music/ringtone.htm

Hope you like it Widar :)

how do you download these ringtones to your phone?

Just go to the page with the ringtones on it with your Internet phone browser:

http://roth.zhxhome.net/music/ringtone.htm

Then when you're browsing, click on the ringtone you want.  I'm pretty sure that most phones will download it and automatically stick it in your Audio folder.  If you have anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask ;)

Any more requests by chance?

Thank you!  I downloaded 3 of them!  

Requests?- I've always loved the Battletoads theme.  That would be awesome.

I request Contra level clear sound. If I had this as my ringer I could die a happy man.

Alrighty, got around to it just now.  Contra level clear and Battletoads main theme are up now.

Let me know if you want those done differently, or if there are any other requests :)

What happened to your site?

Yeah, sorry about that.  Apparently the guy who owns the zhxhome account forgot to pay his yearly bill to the host haha.  Hopefully it will be back up soon.

Okay, sorry about the mix up freaks (and the double post)!  The site is back up, and you can grab what you need :)  Let me know if you would like any other tones, or if I need to fix the two that I just made.

Hey man these are awesome, i love the faxanadu sound.

Any chance at a contra force opening music tone .  or a panic restaurant ending theme?

Well, sure.  On Contra Force, what do you want?  The upbeat portion of it?  And what number is the ending theme of Panic Restaurant in the NSF?  I haven't played much of that game.

Yes the upbeat part of the contra force opening theme.  What do you mean by what # is the end theme?  It the very last song youy hear as cookie raises his fingers in a peace sign.  

If you get a hold of an NSF file, play it in an emulator or Meridian Advance or Winamp or whatever, & then go through the songs until you find the ending theme. They'll be numbered.

Hello, I was just wondering if you could make the Battletoads one longer?  If you could make it about 30 seconds or whenever the song ends if its not too much longer than that.  Preetty please  :D  I love that song!

BTW thank you so much for putting these up.  I downloaded SMB theme onto my phone and everyone comments on how they like it or remember it.
