I was adding my own views to the discussion. If you wanted it to be private there is a PM function which works well. Ugh whatever, nothing more to be expected from chipmusic.org...

Oh snap! No humor here either!

If only
as a video artist who use mostly hardware, let me say $135 is VERY cheap in terms of something you may use for visuals...about the cheapest decent video mixers are over $500 new, same range for projectors, etc.

But the usability of such device is by FAR extremely little compared to that of a videomixer.
With 250dollars I can buy a low spec PC and it would be far more usable than a Powerpack.

As far as saying that we don't have the right... that's anything far from the truth. Thats like saying we don't have the right to define our own unique style because style is a concept that is much larger than us. what? The consitution of the US was defined by individuals and made to structure something much greater than the themself.

ok let me put it in more context then given the situation.
As far as I remember, nobody here has been elected President of Chiptune and has as such no right to talk in lieu of others.

I don't think you have consulted with others here how to change it, you just went and changed it, for your own reasons. There was no general consensus and no debate. How is that any better than what it was there before?

Maybe that makes it clear.

Re: SCUMMVM (11 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

The resolution is horrible but I guess better is nothing.
I am spoiled because I also have the PSP which has a far superior version, otherwise I'd be OK with it, as said by Bucky, nothing can beat having thee games on the go.

Random negativity galore! Is there anything wrong with doing things just for the hell of it?

Fucking hell man, people here are extremely sensitive. We're discussing technicalities of the label with the label owner. Now go back to the sandbox!

I listen the sounds of the chip, then I search technical documents, start writing stuff to registers, study it, days, weeks, years, return it later, and again and again. I always find something new, some combination I didn't notice last time. For me that's composing with chips. When I understand how the chip works, I know exactly what the tracker (which is emulator of the chip) does (although I don't use much trackers, I'm traditionally educated composer, I simply can't read music top-down, only left-right direction. That's amusing, at least for me).

You are a dying breed. Round of applause for someone with the right attitude.

We are making music, the only people we can cheat is ourselves

But why would it be cheating? This is what I am pointing at.
I like the aesthetic choice you have made for your label and I look forward to the releases. However the technical bit seems a bit strange since it's only for the hell of it, the difference between real and emulated is blurring more and more with time and I don't exactly know how sensical is it to emphasize on it on this case.

Take Hexawe. They make Piggytracker music. And they release the Piggytracker files as well as the MP3s with each compo/release. Then teh restriction makes sense. It's an LGPT label which also offers regular audio files for other public.

Milkytracker is OK, any tracker, as long you use 8-bit sources only (consoles, old computers etc),
no 32-bit drum samples converted to 8-bit format, only real stuff

How can you know I have not used a VST that emulates the real stuff?

i'm just worried about what people are seeing represented up there. it's so inaccurate, and i think everyone here can agree that the article is sort of a mess - even with the things i put in there.

Me, like you, don't like what is written there. I don't like most of what is written anywhere regarding this matter. Every time I read CHIPTUNE I cringe, because to me is chipmusic. Fuck, I don't like people seeing it represented solely by anything that happened in the last 10 years, 8bitcollective, chipmusic.org or other online communities either, I think it's a partial image, and misleading. And some times I think "I could define it so much better!"
But I don't think ANYONE should do this right now. Maybe in 15 years, when the fad has passed and most have moved onto new stuff, some people will have a clear picture of what HAPPENED and define it.

That brings up the most valid point here, summed up by Linde in the post before: none of us can make a 100% objective, encyclopedic definition of what this is. NOT YET. NOT RIGHT NOW It's HAPPENING now. It's been happening for 20 years. We are making it happen. Our view is overly subjective. You can't set it in stone in a Wikipedia article, I can't do it, The Pope can't. Not at this moment. This type of article discussion is exactly what makes people wonder if Wikipedia is good or really bad.

Let it rest.

Define chipmusic by actions rather than try to define it with words in Wikipedia. That will happen in due time. And none of us has the right to do this or has the ULTIMATE TRUTH.
