Looking back at Skies of Arcadia as it turns 25, and the weird screeching sounds it used to elicit from my console.

    Many 8-bit home computer emulators have an option to recreate the sounds of their tape drives and disk drives as they load software. But are there any Dreamcast emulators that recreate that unholy screeching that made you wonder if your console was somehow already on its last legs even though it was still nearly new?

    I wouldn’t want to hear it the whole time, but for the first major load of a game it might be pleasantly nostalgic.
