@Oliver : The serial port of the Gameboy does not allow you to send this sync signal or receive it ?
I thought you use this serial port on gb to sync in or sync out on the gb platform.
On nanoloop 2.7, on gba sp I use this port to sync in and it works nicely with my electribe 2.
But yes I have not use it with nanoloop 1.6.x on gb IIRC and one day I try to use it without reading the manual and it was not working.... But it could be for multiple reason, not the last version, not the right cable...
So I have a question 
What will be the sync possibility for nanoloop mono ?
Will I be able to sync in with pulse or with an arduinoboy, a lsdjmc2 ?
EDIT: the electribe 2 send the pulse sync and the gba sp receive it, IIRC it is nanoloop 2.7.9

@jazzmaraz, yes for an unknow reason some emulator have problem with sound.
I think they will fix it soonly, but I think today they quite don't know what they are doing wrong.
quake 1 has no problem with sound, and it decode mp3 file and play small wav for sfx. So, I'm not worried on this part

I know it's little of topics.
But now it's possible to have native emulator on the ps vita. If you can purchase one, you will be able to launch snes, genesis, and other stuff "native" without psp emulation and in one hour of work or less.
I play the shareware version quake 1 with it this friday and it's definitely a good hardware.
The scene go fast, and in 6 month I think the emulator will be gold, today they are not, but you can play with it. Some lack a bit on the sound area, but the graphics are fine with 60 fps.
The "hack" is only a webpage.
And the FW is a month ago, so if you go on a store you can purchase them maybe for 100$.
A lgpt and picoloop port could be doable on this hardware. So think twice about it
EDIT : I don't encourage piracy here but let's do fun stuff with hardware and good software
EDIT2: go only with FW 3.60 or previous
EDIT3: showcase of supported with source code https://henkaku.xyz/showcase/

Lastest version 0.74 for psp and windows only.
Mostly bugfix :
- new colorscheme for better visibility
- handle a crash which occur on the last builded version, garvalf seem to have a similar bug, which seem to not be propagated on psp and windows, need to checkit out
- better opl2 implementation, now seem to be more easier to use ;
All pattern come from my psp, don't hesitate to remove them from bank/bank0 directory first.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/83lapj3i53vsy … 5.zip?dl=0
@garvalf, next build I will take your version and put it on the zip.

After git clone, go to the projects directory.
Modify the Makefile and change PLATFORM:= RASPI by PLATFORM:=DEB
Add at the end of CFLAGS line in Makefile.DEB -fpermissive
Then launch make, you should have a binary.

Hi, I have merge your pull request, and :
- Update a bit the README ;
- added a simple palette management to be able to choose between 2 kind of color scheme to fix the tiny font on pocketchip ;
- modify the KEY_REPEAT_INTERVAL_LONG* to be longer
Available on the "master" branch.
From Master.h
#define DISABLEDBOX_COLOR 0
#define ENABLEDBOX_COLOR 1
#define TRIG_COLOR 2
#define NOTE_COLOR 3
#define CURSOR_COLOR 4
#define STEP_COLOR 5
#define SMALLBOX_COLOR 6
#define TEXTCOLOR 7
#define BACKGROUND 8
#define MAXCOLOR 9
From PatternPlayer.cpp
#define MAX_PALETTE 1
int32_t pal0[MAXCOLOR]={0x0AF0FE,0xAECD15,0x0E4C15, 0x46DC65, 0x1515CD, 0x242C45, 0x442233, 0xFFFFFF, 0x0 };

Re: LGPT/Piggy Tracker FAQ (55 replies, posted in LittleGPTracker)
IMHO, it should run really easilly.
install libalsa*, libsdl-1.2*, maybe some other devel and lib.
Then you should go to the project dir of the piggy source code
build the "DEB" arch.
There could be maybe a little work on the "key mapping".
Maybe you need to add -fpermissive to the CFLAGS.
This source code is really portable, so there is no reason it won't run.

renoise supports multiple sound engines right?
what chip sound does it actually support though? gameboy? NES? amiga? atari?and is there a difference between using renoise vs one of those older traditional tracker that is dedicated to a particular format?
someone mentioned that some trackers have sound engine of a particular platform built into the system so that the sound you produce from so tracker will be authentic, while others uses synthesis to recreate that sound ? are the differences detectable at all? or it makes no differences at all?
If I'm right renoise is a standard well made tracker which support plugin. Each plugin is a sound engine or an effect.
A "sound engine" as a plugin make sound, some plugin will be really close to the sound of a sound chip.
But here it is only a matter of plugin quality and if you want to be close to the original sound or not.
each tracker has it's own workflow, there is no real standard, no standard workflow, no standard command. Lot's of tracker doesn't support plugin so you can not plug nes, c64, gb vst for example. If you like one work with it, learn it. You will be able to reuse lot's of what you have learn in another tracker, but each has it's own way to work. lsdj and lgpt are great from my experience, because they are well thinked and they don't use mouse.
Today there are plugin which can be really close, I can not see the difference sometime. They are other plugin which will not be as close, but you can like it too, only a matter of taste. Plogue plugin seem to have a really good reputation, I don't buy plugin so I don't know how they sound between free and non free.
And plugin are "noise" free, it is difficult to play with real old hardware without a minimal background noise.
Anyway, no plugin can sound and can give the feeling of the old beast. Some people want to drive the real volkswagen beetle, some people want the feeling and the look but preffer the new bettle
I have had lots of old gb c64, megadrive stuff in my home which were cover by dust. And today, when I want a kind of sound, I emulate it with free tools. Or I use nanoloop because it use less space in my home and it use less cable and the sound is cleaner.
But yeah, the feeling of a real c64.... I can not describe, but yeah, it sound really analog, warm and a little noisy in the bass
I have used lsdj on emulator, it doesn't reproduce this little background noise and the sound is a bit different, cleaner.
The c64 is for me the best sound chip out there. But it is a really big stuff like a laptop, so you need space to use it. And yeah, a plugin can give the same kind of feeling, but you will not have this same warm, noise. Music is feeling, so.... sometime it's important for people to use the real one...
All in one apps with a good sequencer and real hardware are really my way to go today. If you use a PC, maybe try some free tracker, some with keyboard mouse, some with keyboard only, some with c64 sound, some with sample. You can use lsdj emulated on PC to have an idea. And you will see what you really like.
Don't buy a software before 3 month IMHO.
