CulturaChip MicroCompo Master System

Another defying and exciting compo comes from the worlwide alliance for retro-arts supporting in spanish/portuguese speaking countries, mostly known as CulturaChip. This time, Sega Master System sound chip, the SN79489, is the target of all aims.

With the help of Delek’s emerging multisystem tracker (other plattaforms were of course allowed), Deflemask*, 4 chippers among CulturaChip held a fight against the limitations of this chip to get the hack right on the spot.

Conceived by Sergeeo, organized by Rolemusic, and aknowlegded in the community forum, this compo started few weeks ago, with a deadline for track submitting from February 22th to the 29th of the same month. After the sonic harvesting, a voting were open to all the members of the forum from March 1st to March 3rd. Now the final score is out and the voting results are:

FINAL SCORE

1)Death on the battlefield…..rolemusic…….58
2)Happy ending……………..sergeeo/yzyx*…56
CC CompoSN79489*
3)Lonely Robot……………..Pak-Zer0……..49

JUST THE VOTES FROM THE ARTISTS

1)Happy ending……………..sergeeo………27
2)CC CompoSN79489…………..yzyx…………24
3)Death on the battlefield…..rolemusic…….23

FX4 | Jake Kaufman aka Virt

X4 is a concept album set in the oceans and skies. Its story immediately precedes that of FX3.
The album is free, and I am not expecting or asking for payment, although I appreciate donations — the proceeds will go toward software I need for my one-man indie game project.
Unlike the previous albums, which were written as “soundalikes” using sampled chip sounds, FX4 consists of machine code that can run on a real NES system. It was written in Famitracker, available for free at famitracker.com.
The NSF format files are here: biglionmusic.com/v-fx4.zip
If you don’t have NES transfer hardware, the NSFs can be played using VirtuaNSF (virtuanes.s1.xrea.com/vnes_dl.php — scroll to the bottom), or dozens of other players for PC, OS X, iPhone, Android, etc.
