cool, thanks guys! i think it still needs some more work, i had to get it in before the deadline on the BotB compo.

if interested, you can check out the other submissions here:

hmm, not sure really. it's actually a track that i wrote about ten years ago on my synths, i just plugged it into NTRQ and changed a few things. maybe that's why it has a bit of a different 'feel' to it? NTRQ seems pretty similar to FamiTracker, though with a number of (frustrating?) limitations imposed by the hardware. i'm guessing an NTRQ track could be duplicated in FT pretty easily? never used MIDINES, though i'd guess it's a bit of a different way of working and might take you in other directions.

haha, pretty cool!

here's a great resource for C64 books, all scanned to PDFs. some awesome ASM books in there, as well as a ton of others...

also, as for the DMG, i think i read that both Johan and Oliver use a C compiler for coding?

Autechre.

i think your argument is a bit flawed because it's not like you can build your own Powerpak. probably better compared to something like one of the repro-carts available from several sites. of course DIY is totally cool, but with donor carts/EPROM burner/EPROMs/etc and figuring in the cost of your time spent building and researching, i'm guessing you're looking at more than $150 in costs. personally, i'd rather spend the $150 to have a professionally made cart that i can load up with whatever games/saves i can fit on it than to worry about the hassles (?) of DIY carts. can't see any reason to be down on it, even for the price. i also don't really see the point of 'dedicated' carts, unless you're into collecting. hell, the PowerPak can be its own dedicated NTRQ cart if you'd like (label and all), with the added ability to backup your SAVs.

arfink - do you have a PowerPak?

it's friggin' great that you're doing this, but for $85 and no ability to transfer saves off the cart, wouldn't people almost be better off spending another $50 for a PowerPak? that would give you basically an unlimited number of saves/songs which can be stored on the PC, as well as being able to play 1000+ (?) NES games and NSFs on the real hardware. really not trying to shoot down what you're doing, but i almost think someone would be nutty not to just go for the PowerPak instead. either way though, i'm sure you'll be able to sell 26 copies if that's what you end up doing.

huh? that might work great for a guy who writes tunes on his acoustic, but i'd be pissed if i lost a track that i spent hours fine-tuning in a tracker or sequencer. especially if it's a WIP, and you haven't even gotten to the point of recording it yet. it's not just a matter of knowing what notes you were using, but instrument settings/tables/commands/etc.
