So you need to 'emulate' this using software (only for playback, thats what VGMTrans does) or simulate it with synth files on your own (thats what I do). As said, since these pulse waves aren't part of the game itself but generated on the fly, you don't have something to dump unless you fiddle direct with the sound hardware. The Game Boy sound system allows for switching of the pulse waves on the fly (in code), so do the DS channels in PSG mode. DS games can flexibly feature all channels in PCM mode and/or PSG Yeah, for some of these pulse waves I have files for (not all you listed), but I don't need them often. For the 4 synthesis channels, the assigned DS channels operate in PSG mode, while the other 2 operate in 15-bit PCM mode. All these 6 channels are reflected by the DS hardware mixer channels (in total there are 16 channels on the DS).

Since GBA games can feature both types of sound (Golden Sun 1 & 2 use them quite heavily for their music), the DS has to ensure a sound generator is available for GBA games. The GBA has 2 digital sound channels (8-bit unsigned PCM wave) and 4 synthetic channels for GB/GBC games. The primary reason would be backwards compatibility with the GBA games: They're also absolut fine for the small speakers of the DS. Why Nintendo chose to allow sound generation? Uhm, maybe its more flexible in pitch bend cases, where you would need a lot of samples for instruments to achieve the same (and requiring more ROM space). I can confirm that the mentioned track of NSMB does not play the synth (or whatever it is), but in another game I tested (Super Robot Wars: Endless Frontier) it plays fine. It also seems to depend on the game itself. (oh, just gotta mention: amazing work in this program, I really love it!!) and I'm rly sorry for that English skills of mine. nds from a different source, still the same :/ I suspect an error in the export of the SDAT or maybe Nintendo added this instrument in another bank or something like that I don't really get what's going on, I even downloaded the New Super Mario Bros. I also tried the ROM with an emulator to see if it's broken or something but in the emulator (DeSmuME) it sounded completely fine and also the Sound State Analysis showed every channel playing. Now I thought that maybe that was an error with reading the ROM correctly so I exported the SDAT with Tinke this time and then tried everything again, same result. I also tried to not export the sdat with CrystalTile2 but with VGMTrans directly instead, same result. Now I tried some things, alternatively I exported as MIDI and SoundFont 2 and opened the MIDI in SynthFont2 and added the sf2 and here the same problem, the same melody is missing (SynthFont2 told me that in this case it was track 6 and not 7 for reasons :o ). I played that channel with another instrument and it really is the melody that is missing in the tune. Now it seems like the midi information for that one channel which I can't hear is exported very well but Fruity LSD said that there is no instrument for that channel (in this case, it's channel 7). So I exported the MIDI and DLS files and opened the mid in FL Studio, added the Fruity LSD and in that, I opened the dls. I extracted the SDAT out of the NDS file with CrystalTile2 and loaded it in VGMTrans and played the 'BGM_CHIJOU_CONT' (which should be the ost of the first stage) and recognized that something's missing in that tune. I am here talking about the New Super Mario Bros.
