Fib Gibbley has recently posted on the NESdev BBS an XML script for Notepad++ that highlights pertinent PPMCK (a 2a0x MML parser) commands and context.

Pretty text for MML, wootz! :D

C64 Jukebox online!

I thought this was a very cool idea which I hope gets bigger! It’s like a last.fm scrobbler for SID music:

There is a new community driven C64 Jukebox on Twitter
Are you curious what other SID fans are listening to right now?
Do you want to play those tunes with one single click?

Follow the C64 Jukebox on Twitter:

Play button clicks on http://web.archive.org/web/20140208082456/http://www.hardsid.com/ , ACID64 and the HardSID 4U Winamp plugin are all feeding this jukebox. It sends a .sid file link with each update, so you can play right from Twitter.

Not for HardSID users only – anyone can use it even with emulation

Initial idea: Wilfred Bos, https://www.acid64.com/
Final concept/development: http://web.archive.org/web/20140208082456/http://www.hardsid.com/

Tiny Cartridge has news of the US release of PictoBit: The second-best DSiWare game, Art Style: PiCOPiCT (right under Art Style: Hacolife), is finally available in North America as PiCTOBiTS. It is imperative that you purchase this addictive puzzler, if nothing more than for its YMCK remixes of classic NES/Famicom songs:

“Super Mario Bros. Part 5” by YMCK
“Super Mario Bros. Part 4” by YMCK
PiCOPiCT’s “Ending” (Credits) song by YMCK

    Make sure to read my PiCOPiCT review, too.

    And a positive review of Reformat the Planet. In other bits:

    • Neil Baldwin has updated his Duty Cycle Generator blog, this time with background and audio of the game Ferrari Grand Prix.
    • Little-Scale has provided a new “Chip Tune Music Uploader” the idea is to avoid ugly media fire or similar download sites.  But seriously kids, get a website!
    • Finally, VORC has upped a new demo video of 8-Bit Prophet
