Hi everyone!
If you've looked in the SC6 comments, you might have noticed me posting a few things about wanting to work on an OPL3 tracker.

It's very unfinished, but I kind of actually need someone to test on real HW to see if I'm doing something wrong. Everything seems right, except that when I tested in PCem after exiting Windows 3.1, some of the channels sounded wrong -- dunno if that's my fault or PCem's or just Windows putting the card in an inconsistent state when exiting (I think I fixed this)

It's a 9 channel tracker that takes advantage of the fact that the OPL3 has 18 hardware channels, so it pairs every two channels together.

things to know before downloading:
* it's super unfinished, but I need your help
* ctrl+Q is quit
* OPL3 address is fixed at 0x220 right now, it doesn't check BLASTER like it should -- almost every SoundBlaster with an OPL3 or compatible card has 0x220 as default though, if you need me to change that for you, I'll upload a build with it [or you could build the program in djgpp, just look for "int opl_base=0x220;" and set it to whatever and recompile]
* [space] is play/pause, [enter] is play row
* if you go to the unfinished instrument editor, the pattern you entered disappears
* no saving yet

Even if you don't have real HW to test it on, try it out in DOSBox.

Source+binary+CWSDPMI included.

gosh GOSH. THERE IS THING
(bump)

I'm gonna give this a go on actual hardware in nearer future ~

aaaah it's so alpha and no help ;_;

edit: please continue

I'm still going at it.
slowly though, because IRL stuff :Y
I do have instrument editing hooked up though in my current build. Might upload something tomorrow if I get around to working on this.

A lot of the major work left is just hooking things together [also, saving].
also, writing the UI for the order list, blaaaaah, that's gonna suck
I should have written an actual mini widget kit for this instead of doing everything in the most ad-hoc way, but then I'd never get anything done.

if I ever do a rewrite after all of this, that's gonna be my first priority, making a text widget kit.

i have never supported a project faster in my entire life. this shit is gold

haven't done stuff in forever but here's a new build

enjoy

Hope it doesn't turn out like pandatracker :p

JK Panda tracker was amazing
