I talked with people that worked on the project and the headphone jack is some kind of device for very crude network communication. This was designed around 2013~2015 when thinking to put wifi in a cart was not common. There is good chance it will be used to update some stuff in the game but since t...

Congratulation on the project.

How big is the scope? Will you re-use the lizard engine in some way (or some code, I guess)?

Was there new files leaked again? I didn't follow recently. If new codes for gb/snes etc, always interested to give a few minutes look, out of curiosity.

So the basic 20A3 need in memory is like 150 bytes? Other parts are added if the songs uses some specific features? how does it work? Does it include part for sfx too?

Regarding the vice label, yes, that should be a lot easier to parse than the map file so I should look into this. I will ask Sour if there is a simple way to convert a vice file to make it compatible with mesen. Even just for the asm symbols, that would already help a lot. Not sure if you figured i...

@Farid,

if you find a way to do it, I will be interested I have an arduino uno, breadboard and a few sockets and if I could make a quick and dirty writer for my flash eeprom, that would be at the least a good use for something I'm not using much at the moment

@minion

It may take time before this request will be done in mesen since sour as left the scene. So unless he come back or someone else take mesen and continue his project then it may never happen unfortunately.

But your question might mean something else. If you are referring to the import from FamiTracker, not every FamiTracker feature translate 1:1 to FamiStudio. Some (actually most) effects are straight up ignored. The current version is very bad at giving feedback about these, so your only resource is...

You can already open FamiTracker FTM and TXT files in FamiStudio. Good to hear. Does it warn you if you uses options not supported by the driver? I'll be happy to work with you to optimize stuff if you want to try it when it comes out! For now I'm porting old C code to asm and found a solution for ...

That's also pretty much all the ones i know of too. The wiki mentions the one Brad did for Lizard and another one called Muse which seems to be a musetracker sound engine. -Mat There may be another one by the dev that made Rollie (Optomon) but I could be mixing things. @bleubleu Will your driver su...

https://github.com/ilmenit/CC65-Advanced-Optimizations Can anybody tell those authors that even if you don't want to use enum types, there's still no reason to replace the comfortable, automatically-incrementing enum constants with manual defines? Maybe there is a reason behind is logic. For exampl...

Yes, or use a more efficient music engine. For now, since I found a workaround for the issue, that will be a good compromise since I don't think I can make a new sound driver until I understand more on the subject :lol: The only reason I use famitracker/famitone sfx combo is because of the song was...

A lot of interesting information here, I will keep note of it. I started to change the way I write code a little bit like avoiding using "scope" or ".proc" (which is just a scope anyway), write only labels on column 1 and all else on another column. I still use cheap local labels to some degree. Now...

I see. For now the engine is run at the end of vblank and I never had issues until now. Since the song is not that intensive, I tested if spreading the some of the effects would reduce the impact (even 1 frame to see how it goes) and the test worked. Since the change in speed seems to be the one tha...

I see, so nesasm does that too. In the case of vasm, they call it "old syntax", which seem to imply that it's the older way of doing thing. Still, how common is ca65 syntax then? My goal is to try to write code in a way that could reduce the pain when using it with a different assembler. If the rest...
