Going a bit off-topic here. "For reasons that will soon become apparent, I've decided to go with the C64 Font in Screen Code layout as per its CHARGEN rom. Luckily this is a bitmap font so is not covered by copyright, and they nicked it from Atari anyway. Open petscii.png and have a look at it....

The VTxx systems are documented on the NESdev Wiki, that may serve as a starting point. I know homebrew for the VT03 exists but I'm not sure if there has been any attempt at some sort of unified set of development materials for it. Using existing tools for NES development should be possible though, ...

The implicit answer is "No, there is no explicit VT02 support in any current tracker, but you may be able to obtain similar capabilities from expansion sound chips, if that is enough for you." As for non-linear channel mixing, the actual mixing formula of the VT02+ on-a-chip systems is co...

You get 3 channels extra by adding VRC6. ? I'm not sure how this is relevant to my post, maybe you misinterpreted? I'm not looking for options to extend the NES's sound capabilities for any music or homebrew, I am aware of and am familiar with all of the various options already. I was wondering if ...

Does anyone know of any Famitracker forks or other trackers that have VT02/VT03 sound support? I know it can be easily approximated in Furnace with 2x2A03s + a generic DAC channel, but was wondering if any software supports it natively alongside the specific hardware quirks that come with it e.g. th...

DOOM-FX is particularly bad at channel sharing. The chainsaw is an especially glaring example, as it cuts out regularly even when the music isn't using all 8 channels. And a sound effect will often outright kill the music channel it steals, nerfing the music for the rest of the loop. The sound effe...

Interesting. Wonder why they'd go through the effort when just making a normal Gameboy clone would seem more profitable.

Could someone tell me more about the hardware of this system? Online research results in conflicting answers. Some sources say that the Mega Duck is literally just a clone of the Gameboy but with an incompatible cartridge port (I know that many games released for Mega Duck were also ported to Gamebo...

Speaking of fonts, it might be worth adding back the option to change the font in the memory viewer, as the font it's trying to use is not present on non-Windows systems and therefore the memory viewer is difficult to use because the font that it substitutes it with is not a monospace one.

Geeze, I think I see the problem now. There is an errant call to cover the "Press A to Serve" text with floor tiles that I'd meant to replace with a flag set. How embarassing! That's alright, the tile drawing code needs some refactoring anyway. I really can't thank you enough for taking t...

Didn't look at the pictures properly. I feel very silly.

Where is this? I can't seem to find it.

Was excited to see this release for quite some time. Tried and so far it has been working great!

Just an FYI, generally we call Famicom/NES consoles not manufactured by Nintendo (clones) "famiclones", not Famicoms. Thought I'd just mention that to prevent any further confusion and so you don't get mixed up, as any instructions for repairing Nintendo consoles may not apply to clone con...

Off-topic to the current conversation but of curiosity what ever happened to that one trick that Randy Linden mentioned, something involving HDMA, that would have allowed the game to reach double its current speed? Was that not feasible?

I'm not sure "very little work" really applies here as, although Ben Heck didn't decap the custom ASICs, he seemed to do a lot of work on it (even if a lot of it was figuring out what was wrong with it and make it work again). As I understood it, Nocash emulated it based on the info he go...
