My SC VI Checklist
~~[ ] s3xmodit~~
~~[ ] wildshit~~
~~[ ] spc~~
[x] sgen or midi or pc-98
[x] chipbattle_art

but knowing me I'll probably only finish the first 2, at most. :c

69623

no you'll say you'll do the first two and then you'll be like "WELL MAAAAAYYYYBBBEEEEEE i'll do the first one if it gets extended by a week" and then if it gets extended you'll be like "oh whoops looks like i won't have time to enter, SORRY" and then everyone will pretend to feel sorry and you will criticize yourself for not entering and fabricate artificial disappointed emotion in your speech for the following week

and then you'll be like "oh it's ok i'll just wait for winter chip lol i guess whatever"

69624

rude :(

69627

darn, i dont know any of these formats!

hello, http://conversioncat.com/mp3-to-midi it is then

69635

Looks like I'll be getting more than just my feet wet in this compo.

69637

Why would you get your FEET wet it's SUMMER and it's not RAINING (I guess) UNLESS you live in the SOUTH HEMISPHERE.

Oh yeah I forgot there's other ways to get wet gg.

69910

I went to high school with a girl named tia.

69919

one of the cornet players in a brass band I was in was also named tia

69995

tia is the portuguese word for "aunt"

69996

Tia is also the spanish word for "aunt"

70115

you don't lose! there isn't really anything that tells you "oh you lost"

70122

2nd place is 1st loser, go for the gold kid

70123

I will absolutely submit at *least* a GB track, hopefully more.

70215

one week extension!

70217

THUMBS UP

70335

it is current year and there are still people using famitracker 0.4.2

70339

lol i wonder who

70341

i am

70480

aaaaaaaaa

trying to write an adlib song
starting to really hate certain things about RAD
really, really, REALLY tempted to write my own in QBASIC because I can't be arsed to figure out Adlib Tracker II

although, 90% of what I want is just pitch finetune and command memory for anything other than 3xx

Also, I've been curious for ages -- is the Adlib format here actually strictly OPL2, or are we allowed to use the OPL3 features?

70483

opl3 is also fine i think madbrain used it in some of his tunes.

Now over double the SCV entries btw!!!

70488

I've started 3 different adlib songs but i can't seem to get them to go anywhere ahhhgg. I will keep trying at it

70510

How about another week?

70511

SURE!!!!!!!!!!!

70515

YES

70517

yes thank you pike7

70520

*thankful flower*

70521

haha nice, maybe I can finish a song after all!

70522

oh wow, maybe I might have two entries

Also, I'm actually writing that OPL3 tracker now (in C with DJGPP). :D
it's gonna be a bit weird and made pretty much just for myself -- gonna have 9 paired 2OP channels -- effectively 4OP with the algorithm fixed as 1*2+3*4 and I'm gonna be as lazy as I can when implementing everything
but it will happen -- probably not before the compo ends though
watch this space, I'm serious!

70529

PLEASE GIVE IT TO US WHEN IT'S DONE, AT2 IS THE WORK OF SATAN

70590

halp me ADMIN! I really want to move one of my entries to another category. I'm such a n00b

70643

that's something for a sysop to do!
get on IRC and look out for puke7, or say here and maybe he'll see it and / or i can relay it to him.

70688

Does 7 bit PCM in Deflemask count as an NSF+ option? I like the idea of 2a03 with crisper drums ;).

70702

yo null1024 that's damn cool... once you've got something up and running, I can test it on hardware for you.

70718

Sweet.

This isn't proving to be a terribly hard project so far, just one with somewhat sparse documentation, you'll probably see a build soon enough.
really, most of the remaining work is slamming together an interface and then making it so I can save/load files.

boring-ass work, but it's gotta happen

it's still not remotely done but it will be eventually

70719

Jredd, NSF+ requires an expansion chip

70722

Does it actually, Savestate? Could one, if one so desired, submit a 2A03-only NSF to NSF+ and have that be tournament-legal? I know that this isn't the question you were answering just now, but I am independently curious about this.

70725

i don't think there is a rule anywhere that disallows 2a03-only from nsf+

nsf+ allows and encourages the use of expansions but i don't think it requires them

70737

You can submit a song that doesn't use expansion audio at all to an NSF+, it's a superset of the NSF format on this site.
sure, you'd be at a disadvantage going up against entries using expansions, but it's otherwise fine

as for 7bit PCM -- that's ostensibly allowed in even in normal NSF compos unless explicitly disallowed by the host -- it's a trick you can do without any additional hardware on the cart, driven in software, and I've used SuperNSF to produce NSF music with PCM channels before on this site (up to 4 software mixed channels, although with all 4 enabled, it sounds utterly awful)

take note that none of this is strictly binding despite the admin logo next to my name, but you will certainly be fine submitting an entry without expansion audio to the NSF+ format :Y

70837

WOW it's so hawt outside still i think everyone should keep writing chill chiptunes to keep our core temperature down.

Added one week. Voting ends on 9/11. Whoops. :U

70839

THREE extensions given in a single major battle?? That's gotta be a new record now!
_{_{_{_{_{_{_{_{and I didn't even have to ask :')}}}}}}}}

70840

puke to the rescue! Giving us a good reason to stay indoors for just a little while longer.

70841

...really?

70854

thanks, puke now i can actually finish something

70863

now i really don't have a reason to procrastinate so much and finally make a pc98 entry for the site.

if i end up doing that anyway, shame on me.

70868

i hope this extended summer brings some nice summer rain

http://www.cantechletter.com/2016/08/drought-nova-scotia-part-canadas-new-normal-says-expert/

70869

i dont know what this is, but it sounds cool!

70881

A major extension has been given! Choose your comment:

1) Now maybe I can get an entry in!
2) Why in the fuK

70889

Now maybe I can get an entry in!

70891

~~y'know I was gonna call it done with just my two entries but maybe I can get a quick third or fourth entry in???~~

why in the fuK

70895

Sexual innuendos!

70898

[14/08/2016|03:30:37] <SketchMan3> lol tfw you lost sleep trying to reach a deadline and the deadline gets extended

70901

y'all must be new here

71003

Yeah, why in the fuck indeed.

Should prolly just take the whole site down.

Fix all the problems.

71091

Thanks dude! Got an NSF + entry in! I am thinking about putting in some art in chip battle for once even though my art sucks :).

71092

No! Don't take the site down :(. I love it here. I need this site in my life. I NEED IT :D.

71093

I'm sorry about my attitude when I posted that.

I was in some seriously bad head space.

71112

To be clear, I was remarking that I tend to see the same two responses every time an extension happens, and neither were meant to be my own reaction.

I'm sorry about starting that.

71122

thanks for the extension!

71341

all NSF sound drivers

71348

Mystery solved!

71424

205 Entries! Way to go everybody!

71533

Going through these entries is making me so incredibly happy! Some absolutely amazing tracks in here!

72280

Its nearly time!

Are you ready?

To get 115th place?

plotwist -

and Not get salty?

72291

Got all my voats on, looking forward to the reslutz!

72297

I'm just happy I got a decent number of songs in this time, and even a battle art! It'd be AWESOME to get a gold in something but I'm not counting on it. It's probably going to be something like Jayster taking Wild Chip, Apoc takes Sega Genesis, CheeChee or however you spell his name takes Turbo Graphix, and I am not sure about NSF +. Too many entries :). I DO think I have a slight chance at giving S-Gen and PC-Engine a run for their money as it has the least amount of songs out of the categories I entered and I feel my best songs are in those categories. My wild chip entry is doing decent as is my NSF +, but only my close friends liked my battle art ha ha ha. It's all good. Either way it's been fun and I can't wait to do it again :D.

72312

Just letting y'all know I'm doing a results stream!!

72318

I took my only day off between tour and real life to listen to the whole dang thing, holy moly. Glad I didn't fail to 100% my voting.

72333

100% done here too, feels good

72336

100% voting done. damn good work everyone

72344

Gah! I'll probably be able to at least say hi in the chat for a little while but some stupid awesome dear friends of mine are having a surprise 50th anniversary party/picnic thing, and I'd look like a real jerk if I didn't attend. Oh sure life, pretend I have friends and a social life today. That's just great. Now I have to miss the internet :( lolol. No, but seriously it should be fun and I am hardly ever one to pass up good friends and good food. Buuuut...battle of the bits I still love you.
