I guess, it is because 7zip is better, free, and the format also supported by other popular modern compression tools (WinZip, WinRar).

Real time means the utility should play NSF file in real time, converting it to MIDI stream on fly, without creating a MIDI file. Offline means the utility take a file and creates another file - all the nsf2midi and other ulilites of this kind works this way.

Topic starter needs real time, all the NSF to MIDI converters are offline.

There are two separate outputs on the chip - one for two pulse channels and another for triangle/noise/DMC, that's why the stereo mod is possible. It is all you can do with real NES.

NES Screen Tool v1.31 . Some minor fixes and new features: - You can switch color codes in CHR data and in the palettes - You can add an offset to range of tiles - Del key to delete selection - Shift+C for Nametable/Put selected block to clipboard - H and V (flip tile) works in main window too - Yo...

Nice little game with good presentation. However, I think, the control method is overcomplicated and this hurts to the gameplay. You don't need a cursor - there is always only one tile for one direction on the field, so it is enough to just move a tile when a direction pressed. Much faster and optim...

Minor fixes, the file is updated.

I've updated the tool to v1.3. Download link is the same. New features are most of suggested earlier plus few bugfixes. Some of these are: - V and Ctrl+V in the CHR editor were conflicting - Load CHRs of any size of multiple of 16 (below 4K, of course) - Palettes reorganized and has text hint for co...

Here is a small New Year intro I've made with Gibson. NTSC only, wasn't tested on the real hardware yet.

It is on Pouet as well.

I actually liked tepples's idea about a tool that would automatically create a source for few assemblers from a single master source. I'm thinking about something like this, but that would require to learn details about some popular assemblers first (voting shows that there are three the most popula...

FamiTone is an open source audio library for NES/Famicom. It is designed to provide easy way of adding music and sound effects into homebrew games and demos for NES/Famicom. It is not meant to be the best, the fastest, or the most powerful thing, it is pretty simple but it does the job. The library ...

I just read on this forum that NESASM actually does not use zero page access by default, so all the operations with zero page variables except indirect indexed access were slower than they should. I've changed that in my WIP (not uploaded), it gains ~200 cycles for peak time of DPCM test.

Ok, first major update. However, it is not sound effects - Gradualore added DPCM support in the plugin interface, so I've supported it too to test the support. That means there is DPCM channel now, with some limitations, but I don't think they are very limiting. Read 'formats.txt' for details. I've ...

Another format of text adventure I recall a few SNES games using is like that of those old "Choose Your own Adventure" books; When faced with an important decision, a list of possible choices is presented and the player selects one. This avoids the need for things like text input with key...

Actually, a simple flick-screen platformer with few moving objects per location (like 5) should be doable with C on NES. Main problem would be memory, not speed. At least it was made for C16 and Plus/4, a simple homebrew platformer Uwol by MojonTwins was ported there , originally it was written in C...
