Title: Mindrec's SoundGenZ v1.03 demystified
Post by: tlaloc on January 12, 2024, 05:11:05 AM
Hi,
For those (such as myself) who never were able to figure out how to access BT Garner's random music generator in his SoundGenZ rom, I finally found out how to access it after many years of wondering:

1.) Download the ZIP containing the rom:

2.) You'll see something similar to this screen upon rom bootup:

3.) Once the above title screen is visible, make certain to hold Select and press II to enable random music mode.

4.) Frighten away small children and dogs with reckless abandon!!  :thumbsup:

5.) Enjoy!!
