wow.. MB6582..  never thought i'd ever see one up for sale!

how do you do that, bleo?  it didn't save a config when I tried it..

cool!, do you mind If I link to it on my blog?  i have a similarish retro VGM blog here (but its more of a scattershot approach!)  :  http://retrovgm.blogspot.com

im not familiar with what went before, but I dont think either of those pages work very well. The chiptune page launches straight into a defense of why samples are okay, while glossing over the very essentials of chiptunes -  trangle waves, square waves, arpeggios, filters, broken chords.. etc
I wouldn't -remove- the sample part (heck, the c64 could do it as an exploit), but I agree with Arottenbit above, it seems predominantly focussed on samples first which is not really what its about.
The Amiga section needs a mention of AHX or HivelyTracker (which attempted to recreate the c64 sound by synthesis, not samples)

regarding fakebit, that seems to comes across as puposefully inflammatory.  I dont use it as a derogatory term, but a term that distinguishes 'real' chiptunes from ones that are created on proper hardware with all the technical restrictions that entails. 
But then that probably puts me firmly in the camp of 'elitist' which is why it sound inflammatory to me.

i've just had twins so never actually get a chance to get into my room to USE my desktop!  its very frustrating.

spec:
dell vostro 400
core2 duo, @3ghz
4gb RAM (i think, winxp is reporting it as 3.25gb for some reason)
500gb HD (2*230gb partitions) (no idea of speed)
geforce 8800gt 512mb

still XP though, Vista is shit and win7 pisses me off.  ;-)
Not 100% sure i want rid, but if your interested let me know.  Fairly close too (cheadle/south manchester)

cheers

(edit), previously only counted 1 of the 2 HD partitions!
