Very unique stuff, thanks Jellica. Overall it was a bit too sugary for me, but I spend like half an hour listening the last track on loop wink

Tronimal was testing HT on 84+ last night. Eventually it crashed just randomly during editing stuff, so the bug might be even more obscure than I first thought. In any case, for the time being I can only recommend to revert to version 0.22, as that one seems to be stable at least.

Hm, that is starting to look very much like a memory corruption through buffer overflow in the save function. If this is the case then that's pretty bad news, as it probably won't be easy to fix. I'll look into it soon. But for the moment, I can unfortunately only advice to back up HT on PC regularly when using the internal save function. In any case, thanks kineticturtle for reporting, and again my sincere apologies for this.

As for the "cannot reinstall" problem, you might need to do a full factory reset (take out the AAA batteries and then press the ON key for ~15 secs).

Uh-oh, that sounds like there might be a memory leak somewhere. Did you use HT's save function at some point? Also, can you reproduce the error on purpose? If so, what are the exact steps needed?

Oh wow, this SID can do SIDsound... ermmm... heehee

Nice work, looking forward to the final release. I take it this will be more accurate than the good ol' YM-64, then?

Sorry man, chances are pretty low that you'll get your song back. HT stores all data inside the binary, as that is the only safe way to store stuff on TI calcs w/o flash memory.

That being said, I'm curious about the error now, because obviously this shouldn't happen. Unfortunately I can't test on 83+/84+ cause I still don't have any of these models. I assume you're using a 84+? Are you using the latest version (0.3)? And, perhaps a stupid question, but how did you manage to turn off the calculator? Normally HT prevents you from shutting down the calc while it's running, and it should ignore the [2nd]+[ON] key combo. Perhaps this is a feature provided by DoorsCS? Could you try if the same thing happens under MirageOS?

Bump for awesomeness. Solid stuff as always, Yerz!

Looking into building this, if it doesn't come out soon. Just need to improve my (currently non-existing) 65xx coding skills a tad.

Downloaded. This has some pretty rad stuff!

Approved!

Thanks! Yes, HT is confirmed to run on just about any newer model except the 82STATS, 82Parcus, 76.fr and 84CSE. 82STATS should work as it's essentially an 83. The 82Parcus build is still broken. 76.fr may or may not work, but since the model is quite rare, I don't think it's worth the effort in any case. As for the 84CSE, I have no plans to support it.

TI-85 port? Absolutely! I have that model myself, so I definately want to use it wink
That being said, it won't happen anytime soon. The reasons being a) 85 and 86 use a different approach to displaying stuff, so I'll need to rewrite major parts of the print routines; and b) I'm more and more realizing that some design choices with HT were quite questionable (naturally, as it's the first tracker I've ever written), so I'm actually thinking about rewriting the whole thing. HT2, if you will. So, please be patient.

Another thing I do plan however is to port the ti1bit package to 85 and 86, so you can use ZX Spectrum 1-bit routines on these machines. That's a smaller project which will probably happen in the next months.

Contrary to what TI says, the SilverLink works fine on just about any model with a link port. I've successfully tested it on 82, 83, 85, and 86. Just use TiLP instead of TIconnect. (Make sure you completely uninstall TIconnect including the drivers before you install TiLP).
