Game Melody Oratorio is a DS homebrew application that teaches you how to play simple game melodies with a virtual piano.

Developed by Multiple: Option, it received the 4th placing in the NEO Spring Coding Compo 2008. It was voted the 19th Top DS homebrew in the 2009 best DS homebrew contest.

Installation

Requires a DS and a flash cart, such as a R4. The game will create a save file called gmo_save.sav on your flash cart.

If you find that saving does not work, please try manually patching the game with the appropriate DLDI patch for your flash cart.

User guide

Featured melodies include:

  • Super Mario Bros (Nintendo).
  • Sonic the Hedgehog (Sega).
  • Tetris (Nintendo).
  • Bubble Bobble (Taito).
  • The Legend of Zelda (Nintendo).

The game has two modes. Practice teaches you the melody in three stages using different visual clues.

Recital requires you to play the melody without any help. Do so correctly and you'll earn a Ribbon of Completion.

Controls

Stylus only.

Compatibility

Tested on R4 Revolution. Works well in DeSmuME, except for saving.

Known issues

Saving does not work in emulators (as of 2008/03). Just use the emulator's save state function, if it has it.

DS Nicknames that use non-Roman characters (such as Japanese kana) will be displayed incorrectly in Recital mode.

No sleep mode.
