Game Boy Sound System

The Game Boy Sound System (or GBS) for the Game Boy is akin to the sound system of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), the difference being that GBS has a higher pitch than NES sound format. The GBS has two pulse waves, a voluntary channel (like a triangle/DPCM combo) and a noise channel; however, the triangle/DPCM channels are not separated as in the NES.

GBS music files can be ripped and played with special players or Game Boy emulators.
