Square Waves

It’s a-me! An app that does it all. I love listening to my favorite video game music. This app is really helpful for keeping me focused while studying or cooking. Can’t help but smile when the Mario death scene music comes on!

This was the app I’d been looking for, one that could play and shuffle a wide range of native game music files! It has a clean logical layout and the baseline features for a respectable media player without a cheesy retro aesthetic. I paid for it and then started into more heavy use. Two bugs came up for me that have spoiled the experience of using it however— and additionally, a small but important missing feature. 1. The PCM audio tracks for mega drive vgms generally don’t play. Maybe it depends on the source, but I have a big library of more recently-produced vgm files, exported from deflemask and vgm music maker which consistently seem to omit the sample channel. (It shows as present, but produces no sound). 2. The app will never successfully add a zip archive containing compatible files, it tries to, and sits for a while but then nothing new has been added. I’ve tried individual games in zip files as well as the master project2612 archive multiple times (stored on the local device, not in the cloud). 3. Not complex, but a pretty important omission imo: there really needs to be an artist category- many formats can store this meta data and there is real value in being able to filter/sort by a single creator.

Great app with wonderful functionality, but it’s missing some of the Famicom Disk System Sound Channels which drags the whole thing down if you’re looking to listen Famicom Disk System exclusives like VS. Excitebike or Hyrule Fantasy.
