I'm not an expert, but do you have a picture of the motherboard?

Both are very good trackers, and they also use a similar paradigm for managing patterns (1 independent pattern per channel). I personally get different ideas and moods when I use either one or the other, so I like both.

My pros and cons for Famitracker and Deflemask (I'll try to present it in a positive way for Deflemask as it is a Deflemask thread):

Famitracker

Pros:
- intuitive to use
- standard windows software appearance
- supports several NES extensions
- open source (free software)
- you can import and export to midi, to use in other trackers or software (but it's not built-in though. Also midi import is deprecated)
- can export to wav / nsf

Cons:
- standard windows software appearance
- not themable
- works rather ok with Wine (on Linux, mac os x too probably), but it's not perfect (I get some visual glitches when editing instruments)

Deflemask
Cons:
- Not open source (but good active support from the developper)
- some non standard behaviors in functionalities because of its specific custom interface but it gets better and better after newest releases (for example in previous releases I couldn't use the back / end key for going to the end of a filename, and when I typed enter to validate the name when saving a file it started the song... but it's fixed now)
- doesn't export / import from other tracker formats (like xm/mod)

Pros:
- native to multi-os (linux, mac, windows)
- midi support
- many format support (sid, sega, nec pc engine, arcade, nes, gb)
- can export to vgm / wav / native ROM (like megadrive/genesis)
- intuitive to use
- free as in free beer
- active support from the developper
- themeable
- latest releases has a much better way to interact with it (new menu etc)

probably other things but it's what I remember at the moment...

I think it's also time I send some donation to both Famitracker and Deflemask!

I've no "real" use for that, but well, I want to get one so much!

I already wanted to get a "C.H.I.P." anyway, so with the console, the case, the removable chip, the included Pico-8 software, it seems to be very interesting.

I've just ordered one...
I hope I won't get some custom taxes in addition.

I'd be curious to know the % of submissions in mp3 against the other native formats. I think it would be something like 99% vs 1%

I've just tested for a SID file, there is no player for it. I'll try the others as well, but anyway, I think most people upload rendered music (mp3).

I think the best would be to allow more native chip formats (like on http://2a03.free.fr/), eventually propose to use some extra javascript players to render them online (the one by Gasman, and also for example the one for SID made by Hermit: https://github.com/hermitsoft/jsSID and I'm sure there are js ym players as well). And also to propose a rendered mp3/vorbis version, like on battle of the bits.

It looks cool, but as a cheapmusic enthousiast, I wouldn't pay more than 35-40 € / $ for this. I know there is much R&D work on it, but the board itself has like 15$ of components on it.
A similar project was made for 35 €: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/13 … or-arduino

I love this Pokey sound, and you're an amazing composer, so it gives a wonderful release, well done!
I'll probably buy the album soon.

And I'm happy because this morning for the first time I managed to get Raster Music Tracker working on Linux so I'll have some fun with it in the future!
