about

The long-awaited IDM chipmusic-on-chip album 'Today' is released as a physical 16-bit cartridge for the Sega Megadrive/Genesis video game console. The sound is generated at playtime by the Yamaha YM2612 FM synthesizer chip that is built into the console.

The concept is to do away with the conventional audio recording which is the standard format for practically all music now released.

Breathing new life into this obsolete Sega console in 2010, 'Today' aims to reinvigorate interest in old hardware and the idea of listening to music where the sound is generated each time you listen.

This is now available for FREE as an mp3 release on bandcamp!

I am also now releasing the ROM for everyone with flash carts (or emulators) to enjoy!

Hi FuturNari, the problems may be caused by the player that you are using. I suggest you do as animalstyle suggested and use Michael Stamper's excellent 'VGM PLAY', which is now at version 3. You just need to export to a vgm file from TFM Music Maker and then follow animalstyle's instructions.

The first round of pre-orders is now closed.

The cartridge will be released in the next couple of days, at which point I'll contact everyone who has a pre-order to arrange payment and shipping.

Cheers!

P.S Moderators, can you please move this whole thread to the 'Sega' section. Thanks.

Even if you're a collector, why would you need/want more than 2 or 3 of any kind of gameboy?! Share some of the love with others! big_smile

I'm pretty sure that electric drum uses the noise channel and not samples so no option to replace them.

I'd love to hear of your results for replacing samples in pounder. I tried it and it didn't work properly. sad The replaced samples sounded corrupted. Not sure what happened.

Also, if anyone does have an edited pounder rom with some nice samples in it, I too would be very interested.
