We could. Or we could just make this a thread of non-specific apologies to you.I'm sorry I could never love you the way you wanted.

This looks awesome. I like my Nintendo handhelds built like a brick, not a cheap 90s personal organizer.

Are you sure it's not just the emulation of the chip being correct? Pretty much all the old 80s soundchips clicked with a note-on. The NES, the GB, the C64, they all do it. Compression is probably your best friend here, or embrace the percussive sound and use lots of legato phrasing (mono setting, note overlaps).

A day for you.

I don't get motion sick and I had to take breaks playing this.

It's all about the technique and the chip. For that super popular Ricoh 2A03/SID/Game Boy style: super fast arpeggios instead of chords, simple waveforms, vibrato, gratuitous pitch bends and remember to make use of your ASDR envelopes. Also c'mon guys, chiptune extends well beyond the NES and Game Boy.

Really? Because I sure don't remember the SNES having a 4 op FM synth.

That's me done. Yeah, let us know what you find out.

Communicate in sarcastic one-liners.

Mario Galaxy without all the waggle shit.

This is just unique; it's chiptune but with none of that eclectic, cutesy pop that's usually associated with it. As authentic as you can possibly get with a PC.

I have a pair of AKG K701s which are pretty minty, however I vastly prefer the lower cost AKG K450s. I do everything with those babies strapped to mah dome. Everything.

Nicetimes.

As I recall they have to be 'frontlighted'. It's not too difficult to do just the problem is getting hold of the actual frontlight. There are a couple of tutorials that require ripping a screen from an SP AGS 01. Like so.

I've prosounded and backlit a metric shit-tonne of Game Boys, resoldered some bad contacts in my NES and generally been a highschool level electronics badass.

Sort of relevant. There's this kind of dusty smell that reminds me of Windows 95.

Not as frustrating as it must've been to scroll through the thread history to discover that.

I dunno, Southampton? New York had a pretty terrible port. Serial? PS/2? 3065? 443? 0's always a let down. Are these port homonyms doing anything for you?

It's not necessarily the mixing/levels element that's the problem, it's more what happens to those fancy reverbs, stereo flangers/phasers and stereo synths when summed to mono. They just don't sound good. Yeah, I guess it's all down to target audience. I might put a "Made for Stereo" disclaimer label on my album covers from now on. It'll be fun.

Yeah, I've started paying more attention now to my combined mono mix. Thanks guys.

I must admit I've blitzed Meat Boy and actually preferred the keyboard.Am I a philistine?

Great job.
