    The zx spectrum tracker has been updated to v1.05

    Beepola, a Windows cross-tracker with multiple 1-bit sound engines from ZX Spectrum, has been updated to v1.05. The most interesting addition in this version is a new engine, made by Jason C. Brooke in 1988. The version of the engine is taken from Savage game, it has two channels of tone, drums, and many interesting features. This version is dedicated to Jonathan ‘Joffa’ Smith, author of the Special FX engine.

  • Project Pal Released

    First I tried to gather 10 different composers to participate on the planned cart. After a while I realised that it was only me and two more composers, motivated enough to finish anything. So now we started composing. Me, Wiklund and zabutom…

    Version 0.2 is vastly different than 0.1, using both controllers and featuring more graphics banks, as well as controls created with live performance in mind. Be sure to check out the readme’s of both versions, which outline technical details as well as button configurations. glitchNES works on emulators, the PowerPak, and of course EPROM carts.

  • NTRQ V1.6 – Attack Of The Clone

    Mr. Baldwin has updated NTRQ to 1.6. New Features include:

    Pattern Cloning

    …

    Something you should probably be aware of: I had to modify the NTRQ file format slightly to accommodate the clone/purge feature. This means that from V1.6 onwards, older .sav files will not be compatible. However, starting with V1.6, if you load up NTRQ with an older .sav file it will be automatically upgraded to V1.6 data format. The same also applies to the NSF outputter. It has been updated for V1.6 too and is not compatible with older .sav files. To re-output your old .sav files as NSF you need to first “load” and “save” them (however that happens on your platform of choice) with V1.6 (onwards) first.

    DPCM Changes

    Funnily enough, I’d been working on the changes to DPCM before I was talked into releasing the cloning feature. As such it’s still in a state of flux somewhat but the changes so far definitely make DPCM usage better (or at least more interesting :) )
