That is seriously wicked!  The triangle sounds awesome!  Also I take it from what I've seen so far, it wouldn't be too difficult to change the pallet?

smile nice isn't it....

Yep, interface built with palette changing in mind. I'm going to put something in the options/setup page so you can change them.

Ignore the graphics at the bottom for the time being. I've got this idea of assigning some parameters to a couple-or-three graphic 'knobs' then you can modify them in real time. Nothing you can't do through the hex numbers but quite a nice visual thing.

Will Pulsar feature a sync option?
When reading the "10 Blargg Bootstrap USB Cartridge" thread it sounds as if it's possible to achieve via a game port.

i asked neil about this in another thread -

Yep, pretty much sums up the current status of sync.

I have been swapping PMs with Batsly about this stuff recently but don't expect any major announcements just yet. I will strive to get this working though as it was exciting to see NTRQ & LSDJ in sync, even though back then it was a little flaky.

Just remembered I don't think I ever posted up the video of it working did I?

I'll fix that later tonight when I get home.

About two years ago, I made this thread on the nesdev forum:

And it's just so mindblowing (and vindicating) to me to see the developments that have occurred since I posted my initial query.

Whoa, that's freaky. I honestly never saw that thread before now though I obviously concur with your "can do" ethos smile

I now think I'm addicted to writing NES trackers LOL

I've got 4 tracks (voices) working in Pulsar now.

It sounds fucking outrageous!

Hey Neil, if everything goes right I will have a Dingoo in the next few weeks. I can test the program there - i'm not a good beta tester but I can tell if anything goes wrong or even if the sound is terrible, etc. I dunno how the specs of the emulators for dingoo, but probably they manage to save it nice.

Cool. Should have something to test by then smile

I'm incredibly excited!  I will be ordering a Powerpak or Powerpak Lite + CopyNES soon.  Is the final mapper layout SXROM then?  So excited!!!  NEIL IS THE MAN!

Yes, I don't see how it can be done without SXROM - it's the only thing that supports 32KB NVRAM.

Hopefully there'll be a mapper update soon for PowerPak.

Got it making noise tonight (playing song/chains/patterns/notes, chain/pattern cloning wink, ADSR working). I have to say, this thing is going to be the shit!

You lucky, lucky people.

Funny. I've not loaded up NTRQ for a while. Last time I did I was testing a few things and as is often the case I end up writing a bit of music for testing purposes. Coincidentally I'd been listening to random music while I was working and a Synergy track came on, "Ancestors", and I was reminded of probably my all-time favourite Rob Hubbard music.

Thought it might amuse you.

Uploaded a first pass to NTRQ's website;

How much detail do you want?

Actually, if you give me some idea of why you want the file specification I might be able to tailor the information better to suit your needs.

I literally could write another entire manual on the data format!
