Finally got around to releasing my NES tracker, Pornotracker:

I hope you have fun with it! Feedback/questions are welcome.

windows only = sad

although it seems to work better in Wine than Fami does.

There's not much Windows specific code (it uses SDL), so it should port to *nix with relative ease.

Although it is not as featured or easy to use as FamiTracker, it should find some use. PCM sound is interesting feature, and seems it is portable, more or less? If so, versions for Linux/Mac should be made, in this case it will have much larger auditory (not everyone under Windows). NSF export is a must, however.

brilliant.

also, I really like the instrument editor. Way better than Fami's imo.

(one suggestion: the ability to change line numbers from decimal to hex would be great. I hate having my line numbers in decimal, it's so confusing. sad)

I hate to be 'that guy' but is there any chance of getting a name change?  This is really fantastic software and I don't want to be crippled by the fact that I might not be able to use it everywhere.

Sure no problem, I can certainly understand that. I'll add in some kind of "work mode" in the upcoming versions.

Yes, it's 95% portable and I can fix that missing 5%. NSF export will come later. It won't work within the NSF spec, since it doesn't allow PCM, but it should work well enough in most players.

Yeah, I'll add that to the TODO list also.

Even NSF export without PCM would be nice to have, you know, many people work with Capcom style, so they not really care about PCM/DPCM and it would be enough for them.

SuperNSF supports PCM in NSF format... dunno if they're doing it some crazy way that you're not doing it in, but it seems to work fine (and does play on the NES).

How about 'work mode' actually being the ability to load any picture as the background? Then everyone can have it the way they want, be it work-safe or even more explicit.
For example, if there is a certain file in the program dir, it will load the picture as background. Otherwise, the default pornotracker bg is displayed.

I like that idea.
