Yes, old SID only. Perhaps also on new SID with digi fix, not sure about that.
Anyway, here's a quick vid of this thing in action: https://youtu.be/978WIztBYO4?t=16325

Now listening for the 4th time, something forces me to press play again as soon as it finishes. Fantastic material.

That's strange. I'm running debian without pulseaudio and I do have html5 audio working in firefox. This is likely some kind of bug or bad config. FF itself has no pulseaudio dependancy afaik.

update: ran some of my real songs on this thing and was pegging the cpu pretty often. Will have to investigate more!
I'm having the same problem with my regular (non-pocket) chip, CPU seems to hang briefly at random times. Appearantly(tm) this is related to power consumption issues. So you might try to switch off wifi and dim the screen for a start.

Yeah, that was fun, though 10 minutes isn't nearly enough to even give a short introduction.
In general, if anyone wants to host me for a talk on HT2, or a tutorial/workshop, I'm very open to that, as long as you can at least cover my travel costs.

Re: BEEPOLA (17 replies, posted in Tutorials, Mods & How-To's)
Skew is roughly equivalent to the duty cycle setting in LSDj/Famitracker/etc. It's a hexadecimal input field, it takes values from 00 - FF. The higher the value, the "thinner" the sound. 00 means standard 50:50 duty cycle.
There are only those 9 drum sounds. But with a bit of experimentation with the effect settings, it is possible to create drums on the tone channels. For example: http://events.retroscene.org/dh2016/ZX_Beeper_Music/853

Re: Commodore 64 or 128 (20 replies, posted in Commodore Computers)
For full compatibility, there's also the the Turbo Chameleon 64 and the UK1541, if you can get your hands on one. They're all quite pricey though. Personally, I'm fine with watching demos off a real floppy drive 
Regarding the sd2iec, external power is overkill imo. You'll only ever need that if you want to do diagnose faulty C64s or do hardware projects (in which case you're probably better off with a 1541UII/UK1541/TC64) or use the thing with a non-Commodore machine (in which case there are probably better options available as well).

Re: Commodore 64 or 128 (20 replies, posted in Commodore Computers)
Definately the second one. The first one is an outdated version, and blocking a joystick port is obviously not convenient. I got mine from https://www.thefuturewas8bit.com when they were still selling v3.
About the user port vs cassette port I'm not sure, perhaps it's a matter of leaving the user port available when possible.

It would be a great release if the lyrics wouldn't be so horribly generic.
