This is my attempt at making a more upbeat / cheerful NES song. I generally make songs in minor keys, so doing something unashamedly major is out of the ordinary for me. It sounds like something that could be used in a water level / area. The song itself is fairly short, but I think it loops quite nicely.

I have an unusual workflow when making these. First I compose the song in FLStudio. Then I import into Famistudio to set up all the instruments. Finally I take the Famistudio output and run it through Famitracker because I like how Famitracker sounds better. Someday I'll probably try to streamline that, but for now it works!

A quick and easy “How-To” with DMGo! Let’s make a Techno Chiptune track! Start with a simple 4×4 kick, then add some random elements using the secondary pulse on Channel 2. Next, create a randomized bassline with the wave channel, and finish with some percussive accompaniment using the noise channel. For the final touch, switch to Mangling Mode and make everything go crazy!

What do you think of this wave shooter GB idea?

CLIVE ALIVE is the last great hope for the vaccine clinic on the outskirts of the great walled city.

Survive a pandemic like no other, with only a locked clinic entrance at your back for protection...

Reload your clip of 10 rounds, soon to upgrade.

Fight off waves, packs, and hoards of SLUGGERS.

Resist the modern plague before sunset arrives.

There is no hope on the streets of Smog City.

GO HOME... LOCKDOWN IN EFFECT... STAY VIGILANT...

CAN YOU SURVIVE....??

QUESTION SIDwizard in Linux

3 Upvotes

I wanted to test the new Piano-roll view feature from last release!

I was able to use SIDwizard in Linux using binaries from debian package (I'm using Arch Linux) from SID-Wizard 1.97 (24 June 2026), with an older version binaries without any trouble, but, right now, I got the following error:

$ ./SIDwizard
./SIDwizard: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I wasn't able to found that library in the repositories (Extra, AUR), but I was lucky, I found the file in a previous install from minconda:

$ locate libncurses.so.6
/home/user1/miniconda/lib/libncurses.so.6
/home/user1/miniconda/lib/libncurses.so.6.4

then, my workaround is:

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user1/miniconda/lib/ ./SIDwizard

Questions

  • There is a better way to use SIDwizard in Arch Linux?
    • Installing other package?
    • Including libraries in SIDwizard?
    • How to ask the developer? (Hermit)
    • Something else?
  • How to quit SIDwizard without killing the process?

Extra

The package also has SIDwizard_TUI, the 1st music tracker that I know that works in the command-line (terminal) without any display server (like: X11 or Wayland), it's amazing!.

Video

Maybe in the future it's going to be a LSDJ-like in TUI!

Right now the closer to that is, using the following (cross-platform or Web) music trackers:

I'll give you a hint. This is a cover of an awesome song composed by my friend Adam Skorupa, known as Skorpik. It's music from the game "Behind the Iron Gate." I'm not sure, but I think it was the first Polish game I bought. Doomy atmosphere, you know. Amiga 500, etc. The song I'm presenting was composed by my friend Joel Morris. Listen. I think it's top-notch. Big shout-out to Skorpik and Joel.

RESOURCE M8 tracker on a Mac without a Teensy

1 Upvotes

I ported karimkfoure's m8emu, which runs the Dirtywave M8 Headless firmware without a Teensy, to Apple Silicon Macs.

Get M8_V6_5_2C_HEADLESS.hex from Dirtywave's repo, pick it in the app on first launch, and play from the keyboard or a gamepad. Buttons are remappable.

It isn't notarized. Move it to Applications and run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/m8emu.app once before opening it.

DISCUSSION Does the Default Windows Midi sound font count as chip tune?

While not used on any specific type of hardware, It has a distinct style specific to it that's easy to tell apart from other chip tune music. A decent amount of older PC games used it. As an example of the Windows MIDI sound font I linked a song above that was designed for it.
