Heavy stuff man. It's got that good ol' creepy, primitive vibe going on that I often crave. I hope the music afforded you some catharsis.

That cycle of: "All I want to do is play videogames, life is bullshit."
Sit and play videogames in all your spare time for months on end.
Turn on the console one day, stare and the screen and think "Every day I die a little more."
Get super productive for a couple months until the mental energy is exhausted.
Repeat.

Finding motivation to do music was what broke that cycle for me. In a way, not playing videogames is my motivation to make videogame music. I look at it like this, no one will see your high scores, or that perfect save file of that RPG as worth historical archival. But if you make a cool album people might still be jamming out to it after you're dead. Don't get me wrong, I still love playing games now and again, but I now see it as a downtime activity instead of "what I'm doing with my life".

Woah,"How To Clean Everything" era Propagandhi meets Against All Authority. (Ska sucks, ska revival isn't cool yada yada....) This is pretty good dudes. Keep up the good work!

Cheers man, you're out the gate like a beast! As far as CC, the wav channel holds the secrets to your future happiness.

When I first saw this thread a while back I knew I eventually wanted to give HT a shot. Having never fooled around with graphing calculators before, this has proven to be an interesting and informative journey. I finally managed to get all the pieces together last night and get HT up and running. Now comes the troubleshooting phase...

Questions:
On engine one, are channels 1&2 supposed to be able to make noise, or are they there to assign pitch values to the other two active channels (3&4)? The other engines perform as described in the user manual, but engine one seems to have this odd thing where notes don't sound on channels 1 or 2 by themselves, but if there are notes entered in 1 or 2 it slightly changes the pitch of notes entered in channels 3&4. I'm running HT 3 on a TI-82. Everything seems to be functioning properly otherwise. Could it have something to do with panning? The manual describes channels 1&2 as "Left 1" and "Left 2" and I'm (seemingly) getting only channels 3&4 in both headphones. Does engine one have a built in hard-pan for these channels?. I'm using a cell phone adapter 2.5-3.5 jack, is it maybe giving me a doubled mono right channel as "stereo"?

Thanks in advance for what will most likely be a simple fix. (I'm kinda betting on the headphone adapter being the culprit, but hey.)

Oh duh... I'd better start giving all my different LSDJ.gb files specific names instead of LSDJcopycopycopy.gb. I had the files hopelessly jumbled, but now things are running smoothly.

And yeah, I knew that the com stuff was in there somewhere, but as I only have three usb ports on this wonderful ugly duckling of a laptop I figured It wouldn't be hard to guess...

CM.O troubleshooting team IS GO! Thanks dudes.

So I got my linker working today, and it's awesome. I have a couple of questions that I didn't see answers for anywhere, so I figured I'd give them a shot:

For a sec I was mystified by the Com# function in the utility. (Runtime error 8002, lol.) I just punched in numbers until it worked, but I could see how that might be frustrating for some folks. Maybe bundle a readme/FAQ/setup guide with the Utility setup folder?

Will the patched .sav files play back on any specific Gameboy emulator? They fail ROM checksums in BGB. Any way to unpatch .savs?

What about that standalone ROM you were working on? How does that work as far as an EMS card is concerned - just load both on one page or LSDJ on one page and the Utility ROM on the other?

The new features sound rad man. Looking forward to em'.
