122635

NSF+ and HES, that's all I'll do (unless XM counts as fakebit). maybe AY/YM, all though I don't like Vortex Tracker's UI very much. Atari Pokey x2, time to remember some of RMT's features.

122636

Any chance of MIDI? I have something I would love to submit. Pretty please puke

122675

[ ] PC Engine
[ ] NES w/Expansions
[ ] Genesis
[ ] SNES

122679

ah yes, the crispy format wishes:

(gameboy, midi and mariopantse were already suggested but i support them)

a dos mod format would be cool as well.
not sexmodit, thats boring. probably mod48k, that sounds cool!
im kinda surprised u didnt add vic20, so im hoping for that as well!
ted or tia maybe? (im leaning towards ted)
and even if i would probably not submit anything to it, amigamod sounds like a cool thing to have as well!

tl;dr:
- mod48k
- vic20
- ted
- amigamod

122682

OK I will try:

[X]

[_]

Edit:
[_]

[_]

122684

122707

Anyone wanna collab? :eyes:

122709

I guess so?

122713

Is it okee If I submit an .NSF from famitracker? Or do I use another program? The .NSF file thing is what I want to chip for Summer Chip. Thanks, let me know, We don't konw any of the other formats.

From, Why WOu

122714

when gameboy becomes available, I'm considering doing an LSDJ collab with Robyn since the full versions are free now.

122715

Wow I have a PocketGo with a Gameboy emulator, is it possible for me to get that on there? like as a .rom file? That would be neat

Gameboy music we enjoy listening to for sure, I remember my friend had one hooked up to a joystick or it was circuit bent or something it was neat. Or I'm imagining things or I saw it on youtube, I don't know.

122719

Now I feel like a n00b for having paid for LSDJ and then using it like twice in 10 years.
Also:

something [x]
(If I can get behind XM2SNES it's gonna be that)
(€dit: I got it working)
(turned out to be TIA)

122722

@why wou
yes, you can submit your nsf made with famitracker to nsf+ !! :D

122726

Random question, will NSFPlay adhere to actual NES CPU Cycles and slow down when reaching 100% CPU usage?

I'm running some tests at the moment, and when the song hits certain (pretty silly patterns ;) ), NSFPlay will slow down about 10-20% replay speed for those patterns, unsure if this is a bug or not, or were the bug would be.

There are no tempo changes in the actual song.

Edit: Found the issue after some debugging, will solve it by reducing abuse on some instruments and channels on those areas :P
This is the first time I have ever noticed a slowdown in NSFPlay.

122727

I'd like to collab!

122728

I'd be up for some collabs this summer also.

122730

It's a cold summer down here...

To do:
[x] nsfplus (probably VRC7 only)
[x] adlib

122739

TIA (╥﹏╥)

122740

No one is happier than me that TIA vanished from this compo.
uh oh...…….. SMAAAAAASH THAT HATE BUTTON! ;)

122742

when i drive, I use only the Zx tune players to play chip tunes, the ones for: windows and android only.

at home it seems I'm either on here, youtube, or electro-music my entire day somethimes that's what i hear on computer programs, i just preffer the sound of ZX when I'm like, mobile for some reason so I really hope everyone considers uploading to ZXTune this year! Thankx everyone from Why Wou

I've never heart of the one NSFplay (is it nice program?) but I ZXtune program is a good pretty minimal program I really iike those I'll be honest I just don't feel right not listening to ZXTune on my android on a system, but this quiteness has somewhat tamed my ChipTune engines really. They overheat that way.

I always cool my cpus with Fan Cooler, like right next to my laptop, so if it runs at 100CPU then it should even go down to about 90 percent of that (at the most) of the usage of your cpu and the program makes wav files and high quality mp3 files very fast if that's what you were taking about idk? have nice night okee thanx everyone.

I cant wait to here peoples chips from botb on ZX tune some day on my car stereo. That will be how I will roll for a while. for sure hopefukly or on my vomputer speakers is the same i suppuse.

Please consider uploading to ZXTune Chips This year everyone! Thankx, from Why Wou

122752

[x]nsf+

Let's see what I can come up with after July 10th when I finish the introductory course from the master's degree (yes, I got accepted!, but now I have to write and read like never before in my life).

I hope I can check this box this time.

Edit: checked!

122754

[] fakebit
[] nsf+
[] snes

122767

As TakuikaNinja reminded, the Earth's axis is tilted. I assume there are more botbrs from the northern hemisphere, but maybe we could have the summer/winter chip inverted next year just to celebrate the southerners? Also, it's fnu!

122775

[] nsf+

122784

uhhh.... so like a lot of cornfusion on stuff and things

so instead of my regular jerk self waiting until the last week i went ahead and added wildchip

....and tia and sid and gameboy :P

122787

summer chip X - the X stands for "no mod Xk formats"

122819

Update-- zxtune right click/save as feature converts .nsf files directly to .mp3

Thankxs,

Why Wou, Gojo

122823

as usual, if anyone wants to try atari st trackers to apply motorola 68000 magic to the ym, i can provide help with emulator setup and maxYMiser (and to some extent MusicMon).

also, i made that lyceum page: I am new to ST YM trackers

lastly, i should be able to render your sndh's on real hardware if you want me to, no matter what tracker you use. mono only though.

122825

I'll get on Discord some time around next week to discuss possible co-ops, I'm currently fully booked for the entire midsummer-weekend (plus Monday and Tuesday) :P stay tuned!

122826

oh thanks for the information! i should clean up before lord strobe comes back x.x its all messy and dusty on discord as usual

122827

Don't clean up, I like it chaotic AND MESSY!

122828

oh thanks for the information! i should move a few more things to random places, so that you stumble over it

122840

Hay, if anyone has time, could someone help me download Famitracker Vanilla? I can't find it thx

122881

Think I found it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanilla_Ice

122897

Thankx for your help, we have these buttons on the desktop now: Fds System, VRC7 System, and Namco System, and soon we will add, VRc6 System.

Can't wait to edit an .NSF file with Notepad++ some day with more coding skills. Thanx!!!

123044

I'm 56th entry? :O

123052

Waht other program should I get all i know is famitracker and deflmask for the Chip event thanx please let me know a recommendation, fakebit or anoter one. I just watnt the one that's gonna rock my socks off like Protrekker or Milkytrakcer and there is no .xm thing on here so I'm stuck. What do I do? THankx

I'm like a chip tune kinda listener, you know I want to, say, what program do I get to make chips for this event?

123053

as always: you can check the lyceum for every format (theres a link "read lyceum article" for every format on this page: https://battleofthebits.com/arena/Battle/4770/BattleInfo/ )

but ill giv you a quick overview for each format because im bored:

adlib: AdlibTracker2
ahx: hivelytracker
ansi: pablodraw
ascii: notepad
aym: vortextracker2
fakebit: whatever u want
gameboy: deflemask
pce: deflemask
nsf+: famitracker
pcx: bambootracker
pixel: mspaint
pokey x2: raster music tracker
sgen: deflemask
sid: goattracker2 or deflemask
spc: xm or it converter
tia: tiatracker
wildchip: whatever you want

123061

Wow! Deflemask saves Gameboy FIles? ALrite!

OOh Spc, I'd love to somehow get an .xm track on SummerTrax

I'm an .xm maniac I can't wait to convert an .xm alrite, I'll read the article for that one

I wonder I'm gonna have to check to see if I can check out the sgen as well. Wow thanks for help today

123070

might do adlib and PC-x801, it's been a while since I submitted FM stuff to a compo. Will try battle art too

123093

First time participating, wish me luck y'all!
[x] Genesis
[ ] NES
[ ] Fakebit (maybe--this is actually where I got started in MilkyTracker)

123096

I always seem to submit at the right time, don't I?

123147

i might make a music disk for this summers' sndh entries. (if you're curious and haven't seen them i made a player for 2 aym ohb's
)
so if you have options for rendering and want to be featured, be sure to upload a sndh for your aym entry! the player should be different than the 2 ohb players i already uploaded, and i'll try to render it on hardware.
i will render my entry on hardware so i can render yours at the same time shortly before the deadline, ask on my profile if interested

123157

It's really friggin' annoying trying to make Chiptune on a Mac, lemme tell ya.

123195

what I really wish is just that pokey wasn't 8-channel

123267

Awe, no dos module? Does that mean i have to learn to use something other than milkytracker? 😖

123268

You can still make something in milkytracker and submit it to the wildchip or fakebit categories.

123273

Thanks zillah, i submitted to wildchip, i kinda feel like im ignoring the spirit of the catagory doin that tho, lol

123316

todo list 2.0:

[X]nsf+
[X]wildchip
[ ]spc
[ ]fakebit

123701

I'll be the first to beg for an EXTENSION... I'd like a bit more time for SNES and PC-98 but with the week I have now I'll focus on getting Sega Genesis and AHX done.
