This looks fantastic. I might have to dual boot my Mac if this is only Windows. Any ETA on a more formal release?

Thursday Customs has done two DMGs for me up to now. The guy's work is just perfect, it's not absurdly expensive, and the amount of stuff he can do, so many options. Highly recommended

Just want to thank Delek for such an amazing piece of software. This looks amazing in theory but boy do I need those tutorial vids The only system I see missing here is Atari 2600 (TIA chip.) I did a couple of releases in 2010 using Synthcart and alot of hand sequencing in Audacity, man had software like this capable of TIA sound been available back then....geez how different (not to mention easier) things would've been. Really hope you will consider it.

In the meantime, I have been interested in Famitracker but Deflemask seems to be a better tracker to learn since it is capable of so many other chips as well. So cool

OK...now this is good sir.
This is probably the answer to alot of folks prayers haha. I am going to promote your link on my social media crapola, I'm going to put it on the links page of my website and perhaps as you update it keep a backup on my own server. I happen to use both a Windows PC and a Mac so it's not like I've been without access to my own cartridge, but getting them drivers to work in Windows 10 took a little effort haha.

Thank you for the effort.

Welcome.
I would like to suggest watching the three LSDJ tutorial videos Zef has on YouTube (I'm on my cell at break on work or I would link them for you.) They are excellent, very helpful and thorough.

You just have to keep hackin' away at it, you'll learn what chains and instruments are what unless you're the sort who starts lots of projects at once. Use those instrument labels and assign names

Finally, I hope you get into it for yourself. If you let other people decide for you what makes a good chiptune, it will take the fun out of it fairly quickly.

There are skilled people here to offer good technical advice when you need it. Get to it, let me hear something:)

You are probably right. Only speaking personally I leave that to the Bit Shifters of the world to figure out. Me, no way. A friend of mine's band over the last year has asked me twice to do an opening set for them to which I politely declined. I have zero desire to ever play live and as such won't. I can only tip my hat to those who could or do make any money with any chip music, but I myself don't go for it. I put all of my own music out for free, and even front the cost for the last 6 years and running for my own little website, and do not have a paypal donate button. I refuse to put material on Bandcamp. I for fun use Amazon's Createspace to make my finalized and uncompressed "releases" into real CDs that are sold at minimum meaning I make exactly 0 on the occasions they sell.

Do forgive all the blabbing sir. You just happened to bring up a subject I have serious feelings about. I have spent money a few times so someone else could profit (like when I bought the 8bit Operators and 8BP050 CDs), but more or less, I hold high admiration for those who keep chiptune free, open and genuinely indy.

I don't know about Gameboy chip in particular being that expensive if you have any affinity to create it. It's like when is the last time you had a desire to make any sort of music and then go to a music store and buy an instrument. Even something small like a flute for example let alone a guitar, drumset, saxophone, or what have you. Pretty expensive comparatively speaking. It's easy to find an old DMG up to something like an Advance SP for under $50, then an EMS cart for under $30. Be kind enough to donate more than $1 as you set your price (say $20), and there. One can do Gameboy chip and make all those sounds and music for $100 or possibly less. It can get expensive like any other form of music if you start taking it real seriously and get good mods done, get good recording hardware, etc. But that's the beauty of chip, you don't have to spend much to make awesome stuff with even real hardware. I say it should be fun, and even a heartfelt hobby, but a means to a job or income...nah.

Did I read all that correctly?
I swung by this sub forum to see what kind of stuff people write about because I've been considering making a small attempt at going beyond my capacity and learning Famitracker. Then all of a sudden this particular thread took a turn to SD card based Gameboy flash carts? Would that be gigabytes of lsdsngs or sav's? At any rate, being able to circumvent the worries of a dead battery in the ems cart wiping your stuff would be so worth it. Basically....gimme! Are these really coming?
