I'd have a ferrari as an aspirational machine to chip tune but if you are starting you might want to try a VW Jetta or something like that


that would be horrifying to be so close to

I dunno man, the sound of that rev'ing Ferrari gives me a boner

It just an era term. If you where alive then, and not shitting your pants every five mins, everything was advertised as 8bit!!!!!!!!

True. If you consider it that way (ie common CPU register size), it works.

But then you have the Atari ST and it stops working again

The demo and chipmusic scene was started by using SID samples on an Amiga, so to claim they are any more or less "real" really belittles the hard work they put into it.

What is a REAL chiptune DID start on the Amiga the way you mention, however, chipmusic and the demoscene started with the 8-bit computers with no samples in sight, many years before the Amiga existed.

As usual I stick to Goto80's definitions and Viznut's current document about "computationally minimal" is something I am really liking as a definition too.

I agree with Beware though: Saying 8-bit is misleading, however also calling "fakebit" chiptune is misleading, calling chipmusic "chiptune" is misleading, and calling musicians that use old computer hardware to make music "chip tuners" is dismal D:

Sendspace sucks, I couldn't even download the file.
Put it in somewhere cooler like http://drop.io and I'll listen smile

I'm giving a bash at SALAMANDER COLLECTION on PSP, it has Salamander, LifeForce, Salamander 2, Xexex and the MSX Gradius 2 with revamped graphics (a.k.a. NEMESIS '90 KAI on teh Sharp X68000).
It's a pretty fucking cool compilation, I recommend it to any shmups fan.

I would take my hat very well off to anyone convincingly capturing the mood of an Astor Piazzola piece on old computng hardware.

Isn't this what the original Commodore did in the 80's by aquiring "Amiga"?  I know Commodore (at the time) wasnt a lame company, but they did purchase a computer from another company and called it a Commodore right?

Totally difefrent. Back then the machines like the Amiga were truly different to others, unique IP.
This is just a PC computer. There's nothing in this shit that is interesting and whatever performance or possibilities it offers are the same as those of most any other computer in the current market.

No, I don't care who makes this. This is cash in on retarded nostalgia. And the owner of Commodore back then, Jack Tramiel, was a jerk anyway, he just had the most successful home computer as a side effect but he never gave a shit about that or how the machine performed or felt, he was more concerned about saving lots of money and maximizing his profit.

I am in no way a fanatic of any brand and Commodore is no exception.

Who had heard this group before, and why did nobody tell me that they exist?

Maybe because they are awful and a travesty of real tango which is beautiful. "Bajofondo" is material for ignorant gringo tourists visiting our town.
We have a ton of these "fusion tango" bands (electronic-ized tango) and they all blow.

I'd have the real deal ANY day.

Enjoy some of the master, Astor Piazzolla smile

That doesn't mean it will be a market hit.
I rather buy a netbook than this pile of crap.

This is ass.
What's the point of calling it a Commodore?
The extents to which lame companies go to acquire a defunct brand just to see if they catch some extra market are pathetic.
