Portal 2: Want You Gone on MS-DOS with Lyrics (High Quality)

This is a re-upload with better quality picture and sound.

Alright, I got a bit bored and decided to whip out QBasic again for the first time in a while (well, I have a few unreleased ones) and remix a more familiar song: Want You Gone, the ending credits theme from Portal 2.

If GLaDOS really was put into a potato, I'm sure this is what she would sound like. There wouldn't be very much room for an audio processor, just some beeps and bloops through the PC speaker like classic MS-DOS could do before people discovered how to use PCM with it.

So yeah, this took about 8 hours, including getting the notes together and synchronizing them to the words. I even had to write a little subroutine to make the text come out like in the game. Even the colors match, but you might not be able to see the pale yellow in this.

Download EXE here (16-bit version requires emulator like DOSBox for newer computers with Windows 2000 and up):

Well. MS-DOS didn't have to sound like this.. We had Soundblaster and fast tracker 2.. Check them out. Impressive to MML the shit out the PC-Speaker.

@retroHC I do know about SoundBlaster and such. I actually used Fasttracker on one of my older remixes.

What did you use to make the console beep change pitch??

[cat333pokemon]

@BOS6940 The PLAY command

[BOS6940]

@cat333pokemon

Ugh, I mean how you made the software to control the console.beep command (If programmed in VB, it's console.beep)

[cat333pokemon]

@BOS6940 It's in Microsoft QBasic (or QuickBasic) for MS-DOS, not Visual Basic.

Putting The Dos In GlaDOS!

[cat333pokemon]

@Pallefj Hm, maybe I should make that one too.

@buddysimian

GLaDOS stands for "Genetic Lifeform And Disk Operating System"

I do research when I play a video game :D

[Private19872]

That's 65% more DOS per GLaDOS!

"16-bit version requires emulator like DOSBox for newer computers with Windows 2000 and up"

actually, im running windows XP here and the 64bit version doesnt work, I used the 16 bit version and it worked perfectly even without DOSBox, the sounds came from the CPU and it was beautifull

IM GONNA AUDIO SPAM THIS AT SCHOOL

[GamecornerSweden]

ugh the telephone-like noise just ruined it all >.<
