  • Mario Paint Composer DS released

    mpckeyboardHey people, long time no see!
    I been pretty busy with work and stuff, but then again, since South America is not even considered part of the global chipmusic movement, who gives two shits? No need for me to post much here :P

    Anyway, I recently acquired an Acekard 2 for my DS, and have been slowly trying to catch up with the homebrew movement (and Phoenix Wright games :P) and I stumbled upon this little fella here: a port of the Mario Paint music composer. Not a big fan of this little gimmick, but I presume some of you people will enjoy its cheesiness.

    Official blurb:

    “Mario Paint Composer DS is an indirect remake of the music composer tool found in the Super Nintendo game “Mario Paint” with a few new adaptations which I added in from the PC version created by unFun Games (http://www.unfungames.com/). Please note, I am not responsible for the pc version, these two programs merely share the same name and that is all. This is not a direct port of any version, it is completely coded by myself.”

    Paratrooopa has added a bunch of interesting new features and improvements and you can download the results clicking here.

    ED: I ripped these samples a while back, grab them here lgptmariotaint

  • TCTD Podcast #005 – Doskpop

    “Tracked, cheezy, retro-futuristic synth pop influenced by italo disco” is one possible definition of doskpop, but it’s hard to say what exactly defines the genre. The name was invented by Lizardking, who also crowned himself the “King of Doskpop”. However, he was far from first composing this style of music. It’s arguably as old as Amiga music itself, and has it’s roots in other electronic music, like italo disco as mentioned.

    This episode gives you a small representation of some of my favorite doskpop (and similar styles). Enjoy!
