iPhone Ringtone: Metal Gear Solid Codec

2008 January 23

About a week ago, I was sitting in my Physics 6A lecture when I heard an instantly familiar sound coming from someone’s cell phone. Within a millisecond of the sound wave being interpreted by my brain, I was instantly recalling memories of the good ol’ days of playing one of my favourite video game series: Metal Gear Solid. When I came home that evening, I went to work on creating my own version of the Codec ringtone for my iPhone. And now I’m sharing it with you. Enjoy!

    Totally awsome dude the codec ringtone is great had a couple of my mgs fanatic friends asking questions about as soon as somebody called me.

    @jackcarver Since it’s an iPhone ringtone, you need to have iTunes to play it.

    Hey Brad thanks for the file — But how can I get this to set as my text message ring? Using a ‘stock’ iPhone 3g. Thanks again!

  14. July 30, 2008

    @ChiNoanoah As far as I know, custom text message chimes are not supported yet, only custom ringtones.

    How about a tone for a calendar event or SMS notification using the ‘Alert’ (sound made when an enemy detects you) tone also from MG:S?

  19. September 13, 2008

    As cool as I think it would be to get an alert sound for alarms or text messages, as far as I know Apple has yet to support those types of custom sounds. Unfortunately, I just don’t have the time to mess around with jailbreaking my iPhone and trying it that way.

    THANKS!!!!!!!!!!
    Great to find a real, useable ringtone that doesn’t need conversion or hacks to make it work.

    I can’t like it. It’s the same everywhere, I like the real one, not this one that has a real pitched sound.

  40. June 19, 2011

    Thank you so much. I had the best day ever today because of this ringtone.
