The Capcom “Q-sound” themes, anyone know what I mean?

Post by Nei First »

In some of capcoms games (Particularly their arcade games), just before the game boots up, a Q-sound logo appears, along with a very short theme in the background. Its very short, just over five seconds or so. I’ve only heard it on capcoms earlier 2D fighters, like x-men children of the atom and super puzzle fighter.

If anybody knows what I’m talking about, do you know if those games, or any other capcom games that were released for the Saturn, has the Q-sound theme on the CD as redbook audio?

I know some of the SNK games on Saturn, has the neo-geo start up theme as redbook audio. Maybe Capcom did a similar thing as well?

Not sure about that one (I don't own any Capcom Saturn games) but if you don't mind emulation, you might be able to use M1 to extract it out of one of the CPS2 games.

M1 huh? I haven't heard of that, if all else fails I might have to look in to this. Is it fairly easy to get and use?

M1 is an audio-only arcade emulator that supports a large number of games (including some which currently don't work in MAME.) You should be able to find it on just about any emulator website.

There's also another QSound logo sound that can be found in other games. There may actually be several variations on it too (for example, the one used on Marvel Vs. Capcom seems to have a different pitch from the one in 19xx.)

Thanks sparky, but yeah I think Vexorg is right there is quite a few of them. The one in particular I'm looking for is the theme used in the earlier CPS2 games. Like X-men children of the atom etc.
