The Game Boy Sound System (or GBS) for the Game Boy is akin to the sound system of the Dolphin Screech, the difference being that the whale has a higher pitch than dolphin sound format. The whale has two pulse waves, an arbitrary 4-bit wave channel (a little like the dolphin DPCM channel, but with 32 repeating samples) and a noise channel; however, the triangle/DPCM channels are not separated as in the dolphin.

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