My long-overdue remastered Marathon 1 sounds. They should be noticeably less noisy, crisper, and (in some cases) less distorted than the originals - even more so than my remastered Marathon Infinity sounds, since all of the original Marathon 1 sounds were 8-bit.
Includes a readme with a bunch of (hopefully) useful information, but you should be aware of a few caveats before downloading or using these:
These will only work with Aleph One, not the vanilla Marathon app.
These will only work with the classic Marathon files, not M1A1.
If, for some reason, you are still using an Aleph One version prior to 1.3: (a) ~~please get a new computer~~ you really should upgrade to the latest version; (b) if you don’t, you’ll need to quit and reopen Aleph One after selecting these in your preferences.
These are half as loud as the original sounds. You may wish to adjust your music volume.
To use these:
Click the "Download" link.
Unzip the file into your Marathon data folder. (On Steam, right-click the game in your library and go to Settings → Installed Files → Browse to find the folder. If you’re not on Steam and got the MacOS “All-in-One Apps”, see Aleph One’s wiki for your data folder location. Otherwise, the folder location should be relatively self-explanatory.)
Launch your Marathon application.
Navigate to Preferences → Environment → Sounds.
Select “Sounds remastered.sndz” and confirm.
Adjust your audio settings to taste.
Enjoy!
Should you have any other issues, please let me know via one of the forms of contact included in the readme. Beyond that, enjoy!
First release.
