GreenMonkey Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hey guys Wife upgraded us to new phones. I'm not a big cellphone guy - hell most of the time the only person I talk to on it is my wife - but she got me the RAZR V3m (verizon specific phone). It's a PITA to get ringtones, wallpaper etc to the phone because Verizon wants you to pay them money for 'em. Screw that! I've found a few ways to do it, so now I'm looking for media. Normally I'm not a big fan of dopey ringtones but the phone only does polyphonic ringtones, all of which sound kinda funky. I used the default standard ringer on my old Samsung and the calendar wallpaper Boring, I know. Anyway, I'm looking for video game ringtones. I can use MP3 ringtones, but I think that for NES games polyphonic ones will be fine. So far I've dug up a Polyphonic Chocobo ringtone but an mp3 one would be better. Anyone have some video game ringtones...or maybe wallpaper, etc? I'd kill for a Dragon Warrior IV ringtone :drool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I bought a Verizon phone that tied you to their (pay) download service. A quick check online got me cellphone management software & I bought a particular USB cable through eBay. I can now upload/download any mp3 I want to it to use as a ringtone, my own photos etc. Much more managable. Might be worth doing some google searches for that particular model.

GreenMonkey Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I did see that I can get the Motorola Phone Tools software and it will do some of this for $30 MSRP. Bastards, charging me for the phone software! My phone uses standard mini-usb so that's not a problem, but $20-$30 for software is! :furious I can just email the midis to myself as a text message, that works OK so far. Anyway, I found vgmusic.com which has a HUGE archive of video game midis, many workable as ringtones. Got myself a Dragon Warrior IV midi. I'm not finding a lot of sites with mp3 ringtones though, mostly midis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 You should be able to use any MP3, doesn't need to be specifically called a ringtone. Surely you can find MP3s of your favorite game themes, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan FB Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I use this converted to MP3 as my ringtone when I'm around the house. It's pretty easy to convert SID files to WAV using sidplay2, there's probably some similar programs that can act as MIDI synthesizers and output to WAV. Actually I think WinAmp has a MP3 output plugin, so if you can play MIDI's in there then conversion should be a snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I have to pay for a microSD card for the cellphone I don't want to drop full mp3s into the phone as ringtones...that would eat up a lot of space on the phone's internal memory. Plus then I have to illegally download mp3s which I try not to do anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
