agreed.

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

harder, but not impossible.

Actually, if you haven't learned to code yet, you might as well start at the bottom and learn machine language!

What's the difference?

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

Oh, when I say "eventually" - this will be in the next day or two. I've been testing/fixing a few things so a new version is overdue.

Keep your eye on the website.

I was originally looking into having NTRQ detect what system (PAL/NTSC) you're running on and adjust things automatically.

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).

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.

The pitch and speed will be "wrong".

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

If you use an NVSRAM they could be programmable via Copy Nes, it'd be pretty easy to do. Or EEPROM, perhaps?

I think something should be done to make these programmable via CopyNES.  I certainly plan to make a N106 NSF CopyNES cart.

Arfink, you rule.
And so does the powerpak.
hehe. just saying, appreciation all around.

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.

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.

The fact I can load all kinds of games and play nsfs jukebox style made powerpak a no brainer. Once you can patch ntrq iqwth your own samples it will rock even more!

Are the mute city carts socketed? For easy update?

To throw more water on the fire: there is no PAL version of NTRQ at the moment.

Just sayin'....
