I've been revisiting some classic games lately, and while I love the Sega Genesis library, I can't help but find its sound chip a bit grating. There's something about the harsh, metallic tones and often scratchy quality that makes it hard to enjoy games at full volume. I know it has its fans, but compared to systems like the SNES or even some older consoles, it just seems unnecessarily rough.
Am I alone in this? Does anyone else struggle with the Genesis' audio, or is this part of its charm for you?
Thanks for the tip on the sample rate! I did not think to try that. I will try the GX core tonight and make sure the sample rate is set accordingly. Maybe it will finally change my mind about the Genesis' audio!
