It would be awesome if the Commander X16 computer is used as a BotB format. For those who don't know, Commander X16 is a dream computer, designed to evoke the same fondness and nostalgia for 8-Bit computers, more specifically Commodore 64, while retaining closeness to the hardware from a programming perspective. It comes with 2 sound chips: the good old YM2151 (a.k.a. OPM) and VERA, which consisted of 16 PSG channels, 4 waveforms (pulse, triangle, saw and noise) and a PCM channel, totalizing 25 channels

is it a dream computer in the same way as tic80 - like it can be programmed for, to make games and demos and such?

if it is, and that programming environment is free and multiplatform, it could be a cool Codist format!

but if it were just the music, i personally don't think there is much intrigue in formats dedicated to fantasy chips or fantasy chip combos - the sharp x68k makes sense because that was a real old machine, but this wouldn't because it's just made up
