Made another one ... this time from Romania.

So I have 8 or 9 tracks done for the album, wanted to do just a couple more, ended up putting 9 more source videos in the folder!!!

I think I'm afraid of this turning into obsession and becoming "the ethnic chiptune guy".

These are excellent! Are they constructed for the base NES hardware, or do they require expansion audio? It's all faked - I use Propellerhead Reason stock synths in custom combis and a bunch of tricks. I roughly limit it to as if it was 2 NES's mixed together + processing and 1 other non-NES sound.

Recently posted a couple ones I'm proud of:

...if you put a limitation on the graphical style where sprites can only move within a solid color space (color 0)... Many games do this kind of thing to draw large enemy objects, like here: http://youtu.be/Z8v_aLnf9Iw?t=5m34s The background color is not just changing for dramatic effect. I was mor...

Perhaps I am using the term meta sprites wrong, but from what I understood it meant large sprites made of a bunch of small sprites that share a common color (Like black). To make the sprite look as though, overall, it has more colors, like in my example. I see now that I have the right idea and I c...

If you want to be able to do mosaic everywhere (as on certain SNES games) without the bus masking, then it'd take a quadrupling of CHR ROM size or specialized hardware to queue up CHR RAM rewrites and execute them during dead times in the scanline. the second idea sounds ... involved. at that stage...

After looking around I found out why it says (c) 2003. This is a GBA game. Mystery solved. Yeah. I looked around for the original Famicom version and it used a hard scanline split. Also the "flash" at the beginning is less smooth, and there was no mosaic effect, but it did pause awkwardly...

Ah, of course. I also realized the rocks off to the sides are probably just sprites.

In Mother there are 2 impressive graphical effects before the final boss fight that I thought were impossible on the NES!

1) Apparently 2 BG layers
2) SNES-like "mosaic" effect

Any info on this?

I think this one sounds ridiculously like perfect town music. Haven't covered it though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7il8yXZ ... X&index=46

Here's a track 2 tracks 3 tracks 4 tracks (ah ah ah) from my chiptune album that's in the works ... all inspired by traditional songs from Bulgarian folklore :) Some of the most unique music in the world - I thought that the 8-bit treatment was fitting given the Slavic roots akin to Tetris. http://s...

Success! I lazily implemented it in fits and starts throughout the day, but it's now functional. You can test any Eighth word interactively and push numbers on the stack. One caveat is you have to use the assembler labels ... so for instance 1+ has to be typed as oneplus... Coming soon, more than o...

Thanks, that worked. I think this looks pretty nice. I guess you'd have to have a pretty dark TV to not see the darker blue/cyan colours. Seems like the palette I am using is a bit hueshifted compared to Nestopia's default. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15588722/post/nesmock4part.sav Thanks, ...

sonder: Not quite sure I get what you mean. I take it you are speaking about the blue palette I am using for the rocks and sky and some bg stuff on the black (more rocks) as well as the water. If I make either of those cyans the other one that looks fugly as hell to me, at least on an LCD. Don't ha...
