You. Are. Amazing.

Really man this is great!

(To celebrate I ordered a copy of MOON8 - can't wait to get it. You're a real inspiration.)

Lower octave with pulse wave channels in mml / ppmck ?

Is there a way to reach a lower octave with the standard A and B channels? Also, why is this limitation there? Anything lower than 'a' on octave one just sounds like 'c' on octave 2. If you use the Namco N163 and enable more than one track, each track gets clocked less often and a nice side effect i...

Re: NSF playback with Power Pak Lite on CopyNES?

I'm currently trying to make one of my longer songs non bank-switched (So maybe I can figure out how to combine multiple NSFs like rainwarrior suggested). It doesn't seem possible so far because of ppmck and NESASM. I was just thinking... the 8k bank limit is because of NESASM. Even if I modify the ...

That's cool. I didn't know those existed.

Re: NSF playback with Power Pak Lite on CopyNES?

If I recall, PPMCK comes with an assembler and builds from the source every time you make an NSF, right? So... if you need to modify the code/build to proce an NES, you can, I think. Yes that is true, it builds from the source every time using NESASM. I'll be looking at the code tonight and see if ...

Re: NSF playback with Power Pak Lite on CopyNES?

Well you can probably ignore the last part of my last post. I just looked at the Power Pak Lite product page and saw it only supports 8 mappers (and does not include Mapper 19) http://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?products_id=35 So for N163 playback on my NES I'll need a Power Pak or hack togeth...

Re: NSF playback with Power Pak Lite on CopyNES?

Famitracker has a feature export NES ROMs instead of NSFs. It can also export the song in assembly format that you can manually compile. That's good to know for the future. I currently do not use Famitracker (or any tracker). I code everything in MML by hand and compile with ppmck. I'm trying to fi...

Re: NSF playback with Power Pak Lite on CopyNES?

Yeah, CopyNES has a "play NSF" option but it doesn't work with PowerPak Lite. That's what I was thinking, thanks for confirming it wasn't just mine. It shouldn't take too much to add to the client (I will try it later this month, if nobody else does in the meanwhile). Man, that would be a...

See his post below . ********************* Is it possible to get NSFs playing with a Power Pak Lite on CopyNES? I'm a little confused. The documentation makes it sound like it's possible. Accord...

Re: Checkout this project I'm a part of

Would be more interesting if it were six NES, SNES, GB, or some other console games. PC games, even retro styled, aren't that appealing, there are tons of them released every day and available for free. Agreed. Console releases would be awesome. But don't get too hung up on platforms or the underly...

Checkout this project I'm a part of

Hey guys, I've been kind of quiet the past year. Still browse a lot just haven't posted much. I've taken a break from 6502 dev while I learn more about game design in higher level languages I'm more comfortable with. Anyway, I've been really focused on music with the 2a03 (using MML) this whole time...

Get rid of vibrato clicking (pop) in ppmck / mml SM

It's kind of driving me crazy. I haven't been able to find a way to eliminate the clicking / popping sound when using vibrato on certain notes like "a" in a square channel. I know the SM command exists in the newest versions of ppmck but that doesn't seem to do anything. From the research ...
