I've never had anything work in Vice but not work on real hardware before.

Using Ultimate 64 to load the proggy nothing happens until i go into the file browser and then back out and the first two screens work and the subsequent screens do not. So that's chill.

Might have done something stupid somewhere I wrote this real quick in a haze of forest fire smoke.

If anyone gets the whole thing working on real hardware let me know.

If nothing else at least there is music playback

will try in the next week to get it working on hardware!
also pls make sure .sid is preferred for c64 submissions (i think prg is totally fine too, but its not listed as allowed file type rn!)

I was able to replicate the behavior in Vice once I noticed Vice was running in PAL from a time when I was testing something else. (Save settings on exit was enabled, d'oh!) but at least I know where to look for problems now.

I can make a sid file; however, it will only play back correctly in PAL, NTSC is missing some of the drum sounds and of course the tempo is slower compared to what I've posted here. I've only tested with SidPlay.

Anyway, that's what I get for trying to rush something out right before the deadline.

just tested it on hardware!
heres the recording: https://youtu.be/dnd3f3vHQqg

Sweet, thanks for testing it out. Here's the updated program

in which all parts played back correctly for me unlike the original upload in which only the first two screens were accessible.

The submitted song is at $9800.

Love it
