The stuff from that reddit post doesn't look like code, it looks like data accidentally disassembled as code.

The problem isn't probably to do with mirroring, but maybe to do with vertical wrapping? I'm not sure what to suggest. You seem to be slipping by 1 byte every 7 rows?

It should be able to optimize for an array of 256 bytes of less. Or, maybe the problem is that it is an array of ints. In theory it could optimize for arrays that are small enough, but it does not. In cc65 you can only get absolute indexed access with an array of 8-bit type and an 8-bit index type ...

NSF format doesn't really conform to any real NES mapper. There is a relatively new real mapper that was built around the NSF format, and there have been several releases using it. I built the EZNSF and ZENSF projects specifically to facilitate making NES cartridge albums out of NSFs. Regarding OPs...

It should not matter what file the macro is included from, the state of .I16/.I8 should be taken from the context of the code where the macro is used, not where it was originally included/defined. (The same macro can have different register sizes in different places, if desired.) That doesn't alway...

Yes, when I say the assembler I mean the code generated by ca65, which is controlled by .I16 etc. When I say CPU I mean the current state of the flags as it's running, controlled by the code itself. It should not matter what file the macro is included from, the state of .I16/.I8 should be taken from...

This is what shows up in the debugger, that's an 8 bit instruction correct? $00/810F A2 10 LDX #$10 A:00FF X:00FF Y:0000 P:eNvMXdizC $00/8111 00 A9 BRK #$A9 A:00FF X:0010 Y:0000 P:envMXdizC The assembler seems to have been in 16-bit mode, but the debugger (CPU?) is in 8-bit mode. How to interpret t...

Pretty sure you're missing some #s. LDA num = load .A from address num; while LDA #num = load immediate value into .A. Which also means you could greatly simplify it by avoiding using X altogether, since dma_channel is known at compile time you can just add it to the register address directly: pha ...

As far as I knew from Wikipedia, only these Yamaha keyboards used the YM2413

I thought there were some Casio ones as well using OPLL, but I don't remember details, possibly was mistaken.

I'm assuming the parameters don't/can't changed while the note plays (I'm not well-versed in the Yamaha stuff), one could store the channel's current register settings when a note-on is triggered. You can modify the parameters while a note is in flight, though I think actual use of this is pretty r...

Kind of a side-question, some time ago I put names of the instruments into our VRC7 audio wiki page, based on a forum post from plgDavid. However, I see some different names in Famitracker. Do we know if any of these names came from a real source or have people probably just created names for them ...

Maybe a different approach: How about an NES test ROM that lets you tweak the settings -- has anyone created anything like that? CopyNES has a "VRC7 tuner" utility that will let you play with the custom VRC7 patch with a live Lagrange Point cart in your NES, which is what was used to work on the by...

Probably the information is redundant to the stuff on that wiki page, but here's where the relevant stuff is documented:

The default speed of 6 results in 4 rows per beat Sorry, I should have said that differently. The default tempo of 150 BPM and speed 6 gives you 4 rows per beat. That's just the built-in meaning of these in Famitracker. If you leave speed at 6, any tempo you give is the BPM of 4 rows at a time. If ...

I completely agree. In a previous thread where this was discussed I left a snippet of CSS override you can use with the Stylus plugin to remove the limit:

Hello all! given a note(row?) and BPM of a song on famitracker how would I go to calculate in which frame that note will play(NTSC or PAL would do)? scenario: I'm trying to do a rhythm game. thanks! If the "tempo" is 150 BPM, the "speed" is how many frames per row of the pattern. The default speed ...
