  • 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 :) )

  • NTRQ 1.0 Appeared!

    What is NTRQ?

    NTRQ is the world’s first native NES music tracker! “Native” meaning that it runs on an NES using battery-backed RAM to store your NTRQ song data.

  • Duty Cycle Generator with NTRQ video!

    Here’s a video of NTRQ running in Nestopia. It’s just to show moving around and editing values in the editor windows. Currently the Song Edit window (top right) is the most functional. I’ve just got the navigation of the Pattern Editor window working so you can move around.

    One of my current favourite features is the dynamic zoom on the cursor. When editing a value the value is magnified by about 150% to make it more visible. I’ve got it working on numbers and notes at the moment but it’s only operational in the Song Edit window (so the note editing is “fake”).
