Some people might not like it, but I think it's awesome!

Surfing With the Alien is awesome, but check out another Follin work, Treasure Master.

People seriously used to ask me how I got so good at chip so fast, and the answer is that I had been studying NSFs for 5 years before I even started

Dude, get NotSoFatso for Winamp

Then go to Akumu's NSF archive.  Just download the whole thing, it's like 5megs

http://akumunsf.good-evil.net/

Then go through and learn!   I learned SO many tricks this way.  Some NSFs also have the SFX, slow them down, solo channels and have a blast.   Silver Surfer is awesome, but check out another Follin work, Treasure Master.

That makes a neat way to study the composition styles of some greats like Koji Kondo of Nobuo Uematsu.

As to the earlier comment about disassembling a .GBS, I haven't done that and am just speculating. I'm not a very good programmer.

That said, BGB is a highly accurate game boy emulator with a built in disassembler and assembler.

The issue here is that this gives you GBZ80 Assembly code to work with, which isn't readily human readable unless you really know what you're doing. So you could use it to see exactly how something is being done in a game, but that doesn't mean you'd be able to understand it per se. wink
