Heh, nice. Well, the video surely deserves more than the ~20 views it had yesterday.

Thanks. Yeah some of the newer engines chew through RAM like crazy. I'm still surprised to hear that it was such a tight squeeze. Would you share some more details on how you pulled it off in the end?

That's a nice package indeed. Such kick-ass tracks all around. And this makes me realize once more what an absolute wiz you are when it comes to echoes. During DiHalt voting phase those are always a dead give-away, haha. Also, I think Geostorm might be my new all-time favourite of your tracks.

Nah, no first place for me this time, that was to be expected. I only had one day to spend on this, so didn't polish things up as much as I could have. So, congratulations on your well-deserved win, Shiru. Excellent work. Especially beating we with my own engine hahaha.

It was a very strong battle overall. Really like BioMech as well, that middle section with the fast arps sounds so slick. Surprising entries from AER as well, glad to hear some beeper from him again.

Excellent article, thanks. I have a hunch this lsfr trickery could also be useful for 1-bit engine code.

ATTiny would be an interesting hardware emulation backend to support in Bintracker, actually. So Bintracker could serve as an editor for greeting card melodies, haha. Perhaps that's overkill for something this simple though.

Random brainfart, maybe the 16 bits rom are mask values for some binary counter that is related to the pitch lut? ie pitch lut contains base init values for the lsfr for one octave, and the 16bit rom has something to do with selecting an octave.

The pinnacle of modern 1bit music. Fantastic compositions with a very distinct and recognizable style, and an incredible amount of polish. Who'd have thought something like this was even remotely possible back in the late '00s.

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately it's a bit hard for me to follow zx-pk.ru, as google translate does not do a very good job translating the mostly informal language used there.

Is the 8080 source code available for these ports?

Also, first time I hear about Lvov PK-01. Found this emulator, is it any good?
EDIT: nevermind, seems it's also available in MAME. Hard to find documentation on the machine, though.

Meh, that's pretty bad news. But great you figured it out, thanks a lot for your efforts!

So basically any engine that doesn't mask bit 3 will be incompatible with the +3. Which is like, most of my engines So I guess you better stick to Shiru's engines for now.

Very odd. This should toggle the border color every scanline, but seems it's actually running much slower?
Admittedly I'm pretty much out of ideas, so let's wait and see if Noel will be kind enought to run some tests.

Damn. Could you try the attached .tap and post an image of the screen? Probably won't tell us much either, though.
You don't happen to know any other +3 user who could test this on their machine?

Yeah, that looks a bit nicer for sure Care to make a pull request on Github, with the updated fritzing file? Or, if you can't be bothered, just attach the .fz here.
