to get back on track, there was a programmable cart released for the Vic-20, however you'd need to recompile Vic-Tracker to run in the cart space, or have it unpack to memory from the cart. (both probably more hassle than just having a disk drive)

Sorry, man. I can't do fakebit stuff. Just doesn't feel right, you know? Keepin it real.
using an emulation of a real device isn't "fakebit".

Re: VIC-20 Music Tracker On a Cartridge? (14 replies, posted in Commodore Computers)
Vic-20 and c64 disks are interchangable so if you know someone/have something that can transfer files from PC to c64 you can do it that way.
Doing the transfer on the Vic-20 itself is going to be an absolute pain, when I do mine I copied them to tape. (using WAV-PRG) (you'd need a C2N tape drive to do that but it's the absolute cheapest way to transfer files from PC to Commodore 8-bits) To get them onto disk I use a C64 and TAPE2DISK to do the transfer. (I have no expansion memory so it's the only way for me)
Oh Fisichella is arguably a better music tool on there if you write loop-based stuff. Neither of them do the fancy "new waves" though.
tbh though I'd just stick with an emulator.

Re: lets talk best data compression for the nets (25 replies, posted in Audio Production)
With chipmusic if you have interpolation switched off you do need a pretty high kps to avoid a lot of compression artifacts, probably more so than with traditional music. (rather ironic) Personally when using mp3 I go for CBR and 320kps. An alternative free codec is CELT, it's not well supported yet but offers pretty good playback at low ratios.

Re: gameboy developers? idea/ bounty (33 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
6502 is easier to get into than z80. Maybe try writing for the NES first and then go to Gameboy? They share a lot of traits in the graphics and audio.
I knocked this out in a few hours if you want the source.

Latest Topics, not most active topics.
how come I posted in a 2010 topic and it went to the top of the page?

why are you all so bothered about track X being rated higher than track Y anyway?

why not just keep the stuff on your HDs and not upload it anywhere. jeez it's okay for other people to like things.

Re: Popularity Contest (208 replies, posted in Bugs and Requests)
these are sensible words.
at least a "who's playing what" window would help. then again I guess the releases section IS the music section here.

"Nathalie" is a very pretty song with a nice atmosphere. Any particular reason for not including it on "Surrender"?
it never got past one pattern. though the riff turned up again in "Broken Heart"
