m4a my beloved (not really)
Screenshot that says "Reason #4: Low Engine Sample Rate. The sound engine used in MOTHER 2’s GBA port is the same engine used for many other popular GBA games, including Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Fire Emblem, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/Four Swords 2 Pak, Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland, the Sonic Advance games, and more. This shared sound engine, usually called “M4A,” “mks4agb,” “MP2K,” or “Sappy,” provides some room for configuration so that game developers can choose how much audio quality they want to sacrifice to let the game run faster. MOTHER 1+2 sets one of these options, the “sample rate”, very low (to 10.5 KHz). This causes the sound to lose a lot of clarity (for another example of what 10.5 KHz audio sounds like, see the GBA soundtracks for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 2 and 3). For comparison, the SNES’ sample rate hovers around 32 KHz, and PC audio can go up to 48 KHz (sample rates on PCs go way higher than 48kHz. In fact, DVD-Audio achieves 96kHz. The highest common sample rate I’ve seen is 192kHz). From some limited testing, we did not observe any bugs after raising M2GBA’s sample rate to 15.7 KHz."
