Cool! Let's see if I can actually work up something decent this time, unlike the Big Chip Compo #7..... I've been wanting to use Nerdtracker II again, but then again, I've got some C64s laying around.... _________________ One Player Game | OPG on SoundCloud |

Oh, or you could try FamiTracker. (thats whay im using)
i found it a lot more convinient than NerdTracker ;D
We would be happy you aboard! and dont be discouraged, i will
myself enter with entries for stuff ive never tried before
such as the Atari entry, and i hope to get an VIC-20 entry aswell,
and i guess both those will suck tremendously :X hehehe. |

I'd love to do a song with something other than a typical Windows tracker, and I know I won't have any actual c64s working in time (though I could always use an emulator). Gameboy has been done to death, and I don't even own LSDJ, just MusicBox. I guess I'm left to use an emulator and pick either the c64 or Atari. Actually, I'm going to take a look at the Atari right now.... _________________ One Player Game | OPG on SoundCloud |

I myself have lack of hardware, so im stuck with emulators :X
my VIC entry will be done in VICTracker or if i learn to code
the audiochip by machinelanguage.
My Atari entry will be done with RMT (Raster Music Tracker)
which is a pokey chip emulator.
i still have 3 weeks :XXX |

I tried to register at that site but was bounced off with a funny error message: Your email's domain exchange record does not exit.
My domain has an MX record. Is there something else needed. Strobie, would you please forward this to the site admin there. I'd like to join so I can vote. _________________ --Howard

Hi moscie!!! |
|
|
Aouch! , i know we have had troubles with the registration before, but its almost always the activationmail that gets screwed up.
This has been reported to Baron , he said he looked into it and did something,
maybe that fixed it =X , try again , he went to sleep now before i had the chance to properly ask him if it was truly fixed though.
will be fun to see some moscie voting!
tell me if it works now, or else i have to scream a bit more at him when he wakes up |
