The point is the gameboys limitations. I kinda think it's cheating to use lsdj on a gba as it's more advanced (see what I did there?) although it may use the same software, it doesn't have the same limitations. Back when I first got into chip, I always thought it was to do with pushing the limits of what you can make with the limited hardware. I know this isn't it's true or even original meaning, but I always thought it was about getting the most out of it, pushing the hardware as far as you can to achieve the best sound/s possible. I think that hardware is very important, it's the restrictions and boundaries that I like. I don't like emulating lsdj on psp or ds or anything because the hardware is more advanced. Call me dumb or whatever, but this is just how I see it, I'm not saying that things that don't run on hardware aren't chip, I'm just saying that this is the way I look at it.
We're still not on the same page but that's fine and I doubt most people are even talking about the same thing even if they think they are when it comes to this topic. 
To stay on the gameboy analogy:
LSDJ is one way to interface with the hardware.
MML is another. Z80 assembly is yet another.
So is Nanoloop.
All of these interfaces have differences that influence the way you use the hardware but NONE OF THEM ARE EQUAL TO THE HARDWARE. The gameboy simply executes instructions like any other machine (all machines) and much of what we refer to as "character" comes from quirks of the interface just as much as quirks of the platform.
Yay! Test time tonight! 
EMS 64M compatible now or still not?

Oh, wait a sec. Maybe we aren't talking about the same thing after all. Because my answer to that question would be "Yes, it is."

The point goto80 is making is that lsdj is more important to why you would make that table than the gameboy is. Theres nothing about the gameboy thst dictates the use of tables at all, that is an interface choice.
I wish this thread had gone better. The songs rock and deserve more attention.

Well, you're lucky then. I just tested it, and the font changing works on my 386SX system just fine! :]
http://software.kvee.cz/radf.zip
- place radf.exe and font.cfg directly inside the RAD folder
- use radf.exe instead of rad.exe
- font.cfg is IT font compatible
radf.exe makes the system timer routine reload the font every tick (but only for the first 32 ticks,
or approx. 1.75 s, to not disturb the RAD playback routine)
It's still very ugly, but hey, it gets the job done :]
Enjoy!
(sorry about the confusing edits, I found a bug immediately after I wrote this and had to fix it...)
Success! My tired eyeballs thank you!

Unfortunately, it doesn't work on real hardware. I had this problem resolved earlier, can't really remember what the fix was though 
edit: I was able to also force-reset the font to the system default like this:
If this is useful to you, I can post the hack, though it's strictly dosbox only as of now.
(the palette is user-editable of course)
The font change looks like it would really help me but I'm on hardware at the moment (p1 labtop thus tiny resolution which is part of the problem lol). If you remember how to make it work I'm very interested! Color change is nice too.

Its not critical, i was just hoping for an easier to read font.
Thanks for the algorithm info, thats exactly what i needed to know!
Have ever noticed that Wizwars and IAYD are never seen in the same room together? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Yeeeeah... probably not. 
I'll go thru this tut and see what steps I missed.
I only get one sound even tho the instrument i created contain all the samples.
EDIT: here's my test project https://www.dropbox.com/s/s7082kdgpas6d … SPEECH.zip
Hey Prof: I've been trying to make a soundfont from the speech phonems from lsdj using vienna and am not having any luck. Would you happen to know if somebody's already done this or know of some other (maybe a variety) of "speech synth" soundfonts?
@boa - that would be illuminating, lets see it (or are u jus trollin brah)
Oh shit! My day is made!
