150431

todo:

maybe

adlib got added, let me know if you want a hardware render!

150434

Hallo~! Dang... I've been gone for a while... I've missed all you brilliant BotBrs <3

I'm gonna step outside my comfort zone and shoot for:

-NSFC
-Nintendo Gameboy

Maybe more if I have time (⌒_⌒;)

150435

might do sgen and then nothing else :PPP
but I really do hope I remember to do sgen

150447

whenever I do this I dont succeed but when i dont i get to go back and edit a comment so it looks like I did what i thought i would:

[ ] SPC
[ ] SMS
[ ] Sgen(?!)
[ ] Mario Paint
[√] Fakebit
[√] Wildchip
[√] MT32
[ ] MIDI

[ ] 8k (my stretchiest of stretch goals)

Formats that I WOULD want:
Wildchip, Fakebit, MIDI, MT32 aw shi-
but that is literally a given with me. That can be assumed to always be true.

(lol no chance of any more without extendorz)

150506

Unfortunately, Yuzu can't continue work with Winter Chip XVII due to my computer issues with the Power supply. My hard drive still on there.

It was a pain to do my best again.

And there are no plans yet to make up a song. I'm broke if i have wait to buy another one.

Sorry for inconvenience.

150573

Some really fun formats in this Winter Chip!!
If I could have my way for additional mid game formats?
Wildchip, Fakebit >:)
And NEC!

Would love those 3 in the fray!

(NSF+ would be fun too, for seeing what mad cool entries MMM and Jakerson (if he fixes his computer lol) might make x))

150640

Hoping to do:
[ ] sid
[X] sgen
[ ] s3xmodit
[X] nsfc
[ ] mod8k
[X] gameboy
[X] bytebeat 1k

Edit:
[X] SMS -- surprise!
[X] Wildchip -- surprise!

Maybe will fuff about with snes or some such?

150710

Wish to do these if my interest and feelings let me:
[ ] s3xmodit (WIP collab that is yet to see if it'll get somewhere)
[ ] sid (maybe too lazy to learn)
[ ] nsfc (definitely need to get going in NES music, I've looked into it seldomly for almost 7-8 years now, and still made no original major stuff)
[ ] SPC
[x] Mario Paint (I think I'll submit an outa-the-box failed ohb-entry (late as usual) that I finished properly after-compo)
[ ] 8kmod (I still have the finished 24kB tune that is still WIP for shrinking-to-8k-without-munch.py madness (I've reached the hard part, given up because organization of what every position-command and pattern-order is super-critical and confusing, but I WILL get through it someday WITHOUT munch.py))
[x] MIDI (I completed one in hope for WCXVII MSGS format autumn 2021!)
[x] sgen
[x] YM2151

150711

@ASICWUSpulse if you tried tedzakker (kleeder made and shared a great tutorial of it!), you will find out you know how sidwizard works as well, as both trackers are from the same author, and very similar each other

150877

formats:
[X] MarioPaint
[x] GB
[X] SPC

[x] unplanned: s3xmodit

All done!

[X] learn some stuff about music and chiptune composition techniques
[XX] enjoy listening to some good music from botb
[] remember to actually do my day job

150880

[] completionism
[] improve my very humble microtonal "tracker" for the next major
[] even more difficult: learn lunar magic

150881

I second kleeder, fsound would be awesome

150894

real person of culture right there!!! ^o^

150895

lunar magic for winter chip xvii. let's make it happen

150897

Lunar Magic targets at data directly used by microprocessors; I call Lunar Magic format a chipist format in spirit!

150898

i personally dont think a mappist format fits winterchip

150899

While I agree about that a mappist format differs from fitting WinterChip, I think that software targeting at Super Nintendo platforms, do.

150903

So, I totally think that the big thing Winter Chip is that it's a music compo first and foremost...
...but then that just makes me want us to have a multi-format mappist event of some sort now (or at least, when we get more mappist formats).

151052

added a couple weeks and a bunch of formats including the dreaded YM2151 :U

151063

rest in peace Commodore Theodore, I hardly knew ye

time to figure out how to kick ass in other formats then

151066

oh shit, zxbeep, FSOUND(!!!), opm, nsf, wildchip, fakebit, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

151071

Oh sheeet son. (was adlib up before or was that just added too)

151079

i might try microtonal ym2151 - registers are different from ym2203 and alike, kf and kc instead of fnum and block...

151090

Oh shoot! YM2151 as a new format?! Hell yeah I'm doing this!

151100

OH YM2151 has fractional multipliers? Oooh, that has many potential.

151133

YEAAH MIDI!!! xD

omg Winter Chip I need to live again

152050

I hate to be the one, but uh... life is just too busy rn to finish what I started in 9 days and boy oh boy would I like an extension ;;;>__>

152057

o-one more week...!?

152121

Ok, here’s the plan- I have pixel, wild, graphics, I’m working on fake, then I want to figure out paint and one other for 6 XD

152123

Bubblegum you've got this, but mostly I wanted to say LOOK at that fancy new XG badge of which you are currently the sole holder

152275

SMC and SPC got added to SNES format today! Please extend submission time for Winter Chip XVII!

152277

xD

152279

I don't know what happened this year, I only submitted an aym! I guess I could use an extengleq?

152416

Are samples allowed in Ym2151? (Cause if not I've just wasted a whole lotta time lol)

152420

undecided by the admins i think
i would lean on no samples allowed though, personally

152422

*I find myself having a big smile on my face while reading at MelonadeM comment*

152428

heres your 2151 discussion thread where you can argue for Either side until something is decided officially

edit: i stole the 56th post in this thread somehow

152489

Survey says, NO! *Quietly pushes my entry off the desk and into the bin*

(Edit: It's okay I put it in wildchip lol)

152505

oh pants, I haven't done a PC-98

152541

i for one support an extension to Wintor Chop. i gotta figure out lettering for the batol art and i gotta figure out a melody and etc for the bytebeat

152635

[✓] wildchip
[✓] chipbattle_art
[✓] fakebit
[✓] snes
[✓] pixel

ok good enough

152659

If there will be an extension, I wanna try to get in 1 more song as well

Not sure which format it'll be yet, but I'll figure it out

152661

If there will be an extension, the SMC I intend to submit will feature more than a sample playing once

152669

Extension? haha, jk

...unless?

152694

another week? x)
i promise you will not regret it~

152701

if theres an extension ill make a mt32, midi and maybe c64

gotta rep my brand looks like i didn't have time and/or mental capacity to handle these..

152702

and i will submit a fsound entry which will be NOT shitty and rushed !!!!

152703

f

152722

Wow, we get the results before the entry period is over!

152729

eensy weensy extension, pleanszy

152730

Please extend the entry period of Winter Chip XVII! SMC/SFC was allowed since about a week! Operating the SNES APU is quite peculiar in contrast to other sound chips I have so far!

152731

An extra week would be just enough for me to submit

152738

did someone say extendong?

you should be ashamed of yourselves!!

152739

i am ashamed but very glad too!

152742

I'm glashamed >:*)

152743

dammit, now my only excuse to not do a midi is work! ( bless up and thank you B) )

152744

Thank you, puke7! ^^

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN DUDUDUU DU, DUDUDU DU DU, DUDUDUU DU, DUDUDU DU DU DU DUU

152761

oh sweet, exxtensionnz
hopefully I actually finish (start) my PC-98 lol

152767

dang, i was stressing to get my entry in but now there's extendoo

oh well, at least i did something! :)

152899

just extend it 3 more months and call it WINTERANDSPRINGTRACKS

152901

Feature request: Summer chip to be Summer and Autumn chip

152903

i just got a super famicom and can now do SNES hardware renders!

please HÆIT this post if you want a hardware render of your winter chip SNES song >:(

>:)

153247

I have failed in creating the SNES entry I aimed to; however thanks to the recent addition of the SMC and SFC formats to submit entries at Battle of the Bits SPC format competitions, I have got a template that plays a square wave BRR sample on the SNES APU channel 0; an example code is proposed on the Lyceum article that the next hyperlink leads at:
Program+for+the+SNES+APU

I appreciate more resources to be shared about programming on too!

153274

time to vote !!-- on ... three hundred ... fifty-seven .. entries .....

154070
