I'm also unable to surf the internet with FreeDOS - it's not surprising that there aren't packet drivers for my 2008 laptop, really. Unless your computer (and its network card) is fairly old I guess you'll struggle to find them.

Does your ISP still give you dial-up internet? I doubt it, if you've moved to broadband.

Assembly or C is always an option too.

XPMCK is a better last resort than ASM, imho (and the only public tool at the moment for making complete Mega Drive tracks, I think).

If a netlabel is promoting themselves on facebook, that doesn't negatively impact on non-facebook users (Sycamore Drive tongue). I don't use it myself, but it seems like a great way of promoting something to a potential audience of millions of people without spending any money. What's to lose?

D16 Group's Decimort plugin is great for that type of effect too (but expensive).

You could make your own DPCM samples with famitracker/s3m2nsf/it2nsf/dmconv and then turn them back into wav. smile

You can make a PCE executable with husic too, look for the batch file called "make_pce". smile

Nope, I don't think so. Apparently a hes to pce converter already exists... I'll try to find a link. This link is also cool. Thanks guys for keeping my thread alive, this is what makes chipmusic.org better than 8bitcollective.com! tongue

Of course (where do you think all the hes files on the internet came from?), but there's no tool which automatically does it AFAIK, assembly language knowledge is required. It shouldn't be anything to worry about since Louis is doing this to make things easier for people who want to make music on PC Engine, not harder. I will ask him about hes some time for you.

A pce executable, that's why it's called mod to pce, not mod to hes. wink Presumably by the time it is released it will be able to do both, since that is useful and not hard to implement.

Back when Milton Keynes was being built (first started in 1967 I think), someone thought it would be a good idea to make some cows out of concrete, and now they've become a kind of icon or mascot for our town... being sarcastic when saying that's a reason to come here, though! tongue

I live in Milton Keynes, England. Life is pretty lazy here, maybe because I'm still a student, but it can be a bit boring sometimes. There's not a lot to do so young people go to the shopping centre and mooch about, older people stay at home. I think there's about one nightclub if that's what you are into, and it plays drum 'n' bass, r 'n' b, chart stuff. If you were coming from a big city with loads of stuff going on (New York maybe?) you would probably find it hard to adjust to the lack of stuff happening, if you're from the countryside it's probably a good urban area for city-newbs since it's pretty much impossible to get lost. Chipmusic scene is just me and maybe two other guys I've never spoken to, but there's a good scene for dubstep and rocky metally stuff. Big theatre which puts on some good stuff, a cinema, blah blah normal things you would expect from a large town. My lifestyle personally is spent inside on chipmusic.org and IRC, but you could probably do something else if you wanted to. Overall verdict of where I live: 6/10, there are better places to go so don't bother coming here.

Good things:

green town, new town, fairly clean town, small enough that I can walk/cycle anywhere, nice block layout of roads with roundabouts (which I like even though I don't drive), incredibly good network of proper sized cycle paths for cyclists ("redways"), walking distance from the countryside (fields and a nice forest), concrete cows, hour by train from London.

Bad things:

pretty boring sometimes, could be very hard to make friends if you just moved here (couldn't everywhere, though?), doesn't always feel that safe (as with most urban areas, I expect), music scene is not great.

Sorry for such a massive post! yikes
