i am SIGHNING UP RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW

Maaaaaaybbbe I will participate, although I doubt I'll get past round 1.

i am sign

hell why not, will help me use nsf more frequently, i guess

I would sign up but I can't guarantee my commitment cause I'm busy with other things!!

I will sign up if you don't mind me dropping out at some point.

I SURE AM SIGNING UP
well i hope i'll not run out of creativity too fast :(

I wanna join cuties :3

dat me O_O

As long as it isn't famitracker-only, I'm in.

kff the method you use to make your songs (mml, isnt it?)... can you use dpcm samples with it?
if so i dont think theres a problem, i doubt people will send ftm samplepacks or fti instruments (although thats a possibility, but its up to keffie if he'll accept those or not, considering it'd be unfair for people like you who dont use famitracker).

general NSF, is not that so, kf

Nope, not MML. It's Schism Tracker + it2nsf.

I can certainly use DPCM samples. I have a DPCM to WAV converter to import them into Schism Tracker... after extraction first.

Where do you get the number 198Hz?

The Hz refers to the refresh rate of the sound driver. For 198Hz, the main loop of the driver has been called 198x in a second. This depends on the FamiTracker replayer code and not necessarily the processor. The refresh bytes in the NSF header (or FTM header) tell(s) the emulated player or hardware player how many times to recall the main loop a second; not how much to overclock the processor. An emulated player, like NSFplay, doesn't have to add additional code to the emulated hardware to play the NSF. Unfortunately, NSF hardware players have to read NSFs and that involves coding something to read and play the NSF. This can draw more from the resources than just emulating the sound on a modern platform.

Even so, speaking from experience I've run 240Hz NSFs perfectly on hardware. I suspect even 360Hz NSFs will play fine with the PowerPak replayer.

Also take this into account. If it sounds OK in NSFPlay, it should work fine in hardware as a ROM. Remember, the NSF header does NOT tell the emulated player to overclock its emulated ~1.79Hz 2a03. So if it plays the way it should sound, chances are it will likely work on hardware -- if not as NSF, then perhaps as ROM. Either or, potentially playable and renderable from hardware.

You also say SuperNSF is a blacklisted tool. Are you saying using PCM is banned as well? SuperNSF is also open-source. I could change a few things and rename it as NotSuperNSF and get away with using it. (I've hacked it a few times already.)

Sign me up


But seriously, what is NSFMania

I will do this

(probably)

go on then, colour me interested

*signs his name on the dotted line*

OK I am sign upp fo dis

calling it - i get eliminated in the second or third round

Uh-huh.

(that means I sign up)

LET'S DOODIS!

Providing the raw instrument data would be good enough for my taste, given that I'm essentially typing MML for my instrument data (it's clearly stated in the manual that the instrument data is in a form of MML)

Sure I'll sign up but might have to drop out either due to commitments or because I struggle to make stuff but whooo knooooows.

I will participate in this!

KFF: Your sentence was incomplete to decision?

...

alright, i'll do this.

I'm TOTALLY IN B)

put me on that list. now. i must join this

pooooost

Wait, limits? uh oh, now I'm scared...

But hey this should still be fun once it starts.

IN

Free food for a year? AWESOME!

sign me up! Although I can't guarantee I'll do it if I've got other commitments at the time. But if I'm free I'm totally entering.

UNSW Free Food.

I demand that you sign me up for some BotB Free Food.

sine

i am prepared to send the required energy into the appropriate appendages needed to interact with my techtronic utilities to project sensory outputs of my own creation unto the sensory inputs of my fellow dranglebeings aka drop some swack ass jamz up in here

I'm in.

I AM GOING TO DO THIS

I'm a dog irl

pretty sure the limitations made my song better than it would have been without limitations lol
