Music Development

Game Boy Color

Stéphane Hockenhull developed Paragon 5 GameBoy Tracker (aka Beyond Tracker), which used in their scores for games. Outside of company, this tracker has also been used by composers such as Andrew Lemon and Eric Hache.

Game Boy Advance

Stéphane Hockenhull developed GBASS Sound Driver, which used in their games. Unlike the GBC driver, this driver supports MIDI format. This driver was licensed to various developers such as The Code Monkeys, Eurocom, WayForward, One Man Band, Yoyo Entertainment, Rival Dreams and Matahari Studios.

On Crazy Taxi: Catch a Ride, Wojciech Zytkowiak-Wenzel composed music possibly in ProTracker and converted his files to custom sound driver by Graphic State (or by Coyote Developments).

For his later scores, Jake Kaufman used Nintendo's MP2K sound driver.
