วีดีโอ

oh yeah just noticed that the famitracker forums are offline oops. My modules will now be stored here: media.roddydev.com/ftms There's only the megalovania one in there, will add the others but they are in another hard drive somewhere...

You are completely right! Here is the code for the whole program: pastebin.com/5YVdYXwm I was a very bad programmer back then (I still am! I don't code as much anymore) The idea was: Get a list of numbers evenly spaced out based on your inputs, while making sure they don't overlap with each other (initial value + sample size, so me saying it was unnecessary was completely wrong) But then I looked at the code... It runs the logic for that but the program doesn't even use it when writing the text file... It only grabs the evenly spaced out numbers. (As seen on Line 24). What was wrong with me at that time? The worst thing is that you will need to look at the waveforms itself and make a guess where the shape starts and ends... All done manually. That's why I said in the video that you should only do this with simple shaped waveforms without chords. Now, it's very possible that if I rewrite it using more modern tools with Python and some audio libraries, I could even generate complete FTI files without even needing manual inputs and Audacity. I don't know why I haven't updated this... It's possibly the worst tooI I have ever made because it does almost nothing. It really surprises me that it still helped some people.

@@RoddyDev Well, you're way too harsh on yourself, this was actually a valid way to approach the problem. Actually I didn't try the method myself, but the video demonstrate that it is efficient. I do am interested in this topic, though. N163 is a very interesting chip with unsuspected capabilities, and this video was great in order to demonstrate that. Another question, why did you specifically pick 15 as the sampling number? Is it some sort of compromise related to RAM considerations? What if the frequency isn't 60Hz anymore (which happens whenever you tweak the tempo i guess?)? Thanks for your last answer!

@@isaNYyN 15 samples was returned by the formula floor(audio sample length / (sample rate / refresh rate)). If you get a longer audio file you will get more samples. If the refresh rate is different, let's say 50Hz for PAL, it would return less samples, to account for the slower clock. If it was the same as 60Hz, it would sound too slow. The only N163 limitation is in it's 256-byte RAM, which is shared with the wavetable and audio channel data at the same time (16 bytes per active channel). And that's the reason why we use the Nyquist script to compress the waveform to make it fit.

@@RoddyDev Thank you for your answer

The reason that happens is because I was selecting wave indexes over what I actually had on some N163's instruments. It might sound fine on FamiTracker, but on the exported NSF those out of bounds wave indexes selects garbage data, making it sound weird.

Windows 7

yes

​@@RoddyDev alright thank you

about that...

Hey Andy! Thanks for making this game. What would be the best way to contact you? Do you have an email address where I can reach you?

I could make Mettaton throw the ingredients forever by locking the timer. I think that the objects thrown at you are not destroyed when it's off-screen (just like Undyne's spears when you first encounter her), so the game would definitely start to lag after a few minutes. Would be interesting to see... for me at least.

@@RoddyDev you won't do it and record it and post it

@@RoddyDev no balls

@@shalpp you're right

thanks gtm

It will probably be the same thing

Computer upgrades over the years. The first video was recorded with a Pentium E2180 CPU, this one was recorded using an i5-2400 CPU. There is nothing really you can do to fix the lag on the old 2007 PC version besides lowering the game resolution.

that's quite impossible since the YM2612 uses FM not samples

You can import WAV in both OpenMPT and Audacity. I recommend converting it to mono first.

Glad to help! Hope you could understand this properly since looking back at it, I explained this quite poorly.

@@RoddyDev I understood it well. You could do another video if you want to improve the explanation!

Thank you! Though the cover in this video isn't accurate. It's missing some percussion and it's a tiny bit off-tune. The FTM file I put in the description fixes that.

@@RoddyDev Heh, I didn't even notice! Alright, it is good you fixed it.

it's a breakout type of game but it's more similar to arkanoid because of the powerups.
