agreed.

learning lower level languages (e.g. ASM) are much harder after learning high level ones (e.g c#)
i know from experience hmm

harder, but not impossible.

You should try programming for a computer first because it will be a lot simpler than programming for a games console.


What's the difference?

Keep your eye on the website.

However, this proved to be more trouble than it was worth so I'll eventually start releasing a PAL and an NTSC version. I'm probably only going to fix the pitch though. There's a trick to fixing the timing differences in code but so far I've found it unsatisfactory (especially if you're using multiple Speed Table entries to fine tweak your song speed).

HELP!]]> There's between a 1 and 2 semitone difference between NTSC and PAL on NTRQ, it's tweakable and is workable. Having a PAL version will be grand though.

Just sayin'....

Does this mean that it won't work on a PAL nes period, or it won't be tuned correctly? I was under the assumption it could work, just not quite right. I'll have to try it with a PAL nes emulator.

The pitch and speed will be "wrong".

It's on my list of things to do. It's a long list.

Are the mute city carts socketed? For easy update?

No, they are not. This is one of the advantages of my design. Also, his will not have multiple SRAM banks. For those who wish to make their own, I am putting together a tutorial, and I can burn EPROMs for folks who don't have their own equipment.
