Hey Mr. Teeth, I'm not totally sure about this one - apparently it's a "Music tracking software for the GameBoy Advance" for the PC. The idea is you write the music on your PC and save it in a file that can be read and played by a GBA (I think). I literally downloaded it the other day and haven't paid much attention to it, so I could be wrong. The demo track sounds pretty wicked, with some extremely dodgy 8-bit sounds, so it must be capable. You can find it . Worth investigating. Also, have you tried ReFX's SID emulator? That's pretty cool, and pretty cheap too. Some really cool cheap arcade sounds can be coaxed out of it. Chris. |

I forgot to tell you what it's called! It's called BoyScout, and I'm faffing about with it now. It's pretty cool! |

Nope, no GameBoy needed whatsoever. I guess the program emulates the GB's sound chip or something, allowing you to compose a track for it on your PC. You can then save the file in a special format that will, once transferred to a GB rom, be playable on a GB. But you can just compose tunes on the program and forget about the GB transfer side of things. The only problem is you can't export a .wav of the track (after all, why would you if you were writing for the GB?) so you'd just have to set up SoundForge or something to record in the background while you play the song through. It does seem to skip occaisionally, and doesn't play at all if it isn't the active window, but it does sound pretty cool. I guess the best way to get to grips with it is to analyse the demo tune. Chris. |

Good news as I have no gameboy. I will start composing tonight. I will try to knock out a tunes and bring it along next thursday. I have also started tp experiment with plug in for fruity loops, they are quite good. I might start to design my own if my brain allows. |
