PacManPlus Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Thanks all: @RevEng - On Rosegarden's webpage, I see they are tailored for Linux. While I have Linux on my Rasbperry Pi, I do my 7800 work on my Windows PC. I'll see if I can convert it for Windows. @Mimo - Hey! Long time no hear! Sorry for the delayed response, I see you've posted a thread in the 8-bit forum. Tredbor did the same in the 8-Bit Programming forum. There is one person who replied to me, so I'll reply to his PM in a few. Hope all is well. Thanks, guys! Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Yeah, Rosegarden targets Linux but there's an unofficial windows build... though I don't know how well that works. [edit] I see I missed the earlier post where already have a midi file->asm utility. Sounds like much the same deal as what I've cobbled together with my utility.

PacManPlus Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 Ah - thanks, I will check that out and see if it works with my USB -> MIDI cable. THANK YOU! I also have to respond to another PM from someone who wants to give it a shot. EDIT - BTW, RMT is out; I found out that I don't have enough ROM space in the main section ($C000-$FFFF) to include the player, and the banks don't have enough space each for a good length RMT file.

Ok good then I will stop with the RMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Oh - I didn't know you had started. Sorry... BTW, the person taking on the music, is extending the 'classical' theme of music from Crystal Castles (which I think is a great idea). It's also cool to note that this game will come out exactly 30 years after Crystal Castles (of course that will be part of the story...) Thanks, Bob 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Love the idea of the original music being adapted to this game! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthpopalooza Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 A question: RMT has the ability to export .SAP format music, would this format work with the game? I had planned to do the music for this, using RMT, but failing that, I am looking for alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Wait until you guys hear the music Synthpopalooza is submitting for Bentley... very, very cool 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKON Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I have to say that I concur with TrekMD...it is AWESOME. It is nothing short of amazing what you have done with this game and on the 7800 as well. I am floored by what can now be done on the 7800.....aw man if they only knew back in the day what they made......endless possiblilites.

iesposta Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Wow! I'm glad music made it in. I love it because it adds to the game. It feels less intense, and more like a platformer with music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edweird13 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 This is awesome!!!!!! I never thought this could be possible on the 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cmart604 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Wow! That's my first in depth look at the gameplay as well, I've mostly just seen screenshots so far, and I have to say it looks fantastic Bob, congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebor Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Astounding! It is bitter-sweet now to experience this amazing game. To think what Atari could have done with the 7800 system and games if they would have invested in the hardware like Nintendo did with expanding the NES capabilities by adding hardware to their cartridges. Atari did so little to almost nothing in this area; BallBlazer and Commando being a couple of exceptions. Luckily, the investment in the hardware is only once with the XM for us now. Fantastic and amazing job with the music and the entire game overall; cannot wait for the final product. THANK YOU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacmania Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Sorry if I am being thick but will this only work with the XM? What extra hardware is it using? Looks amazing BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapetino Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 The music is wonderful! Can't wait to play this. Fantastic work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthpopalooza Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 As far as I am aware, the game will work on stock 7800 hardware, but without the music. He's put in stock TIA sounds as placeholders, but those who have XM get to hear the music. Speaking of which, I got a lot of music left to do. Many thanks to PacManPlus for letting me work on this with him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 You guys are awesome To answer Pacmania's question (and to add to Synthpopalooza's response), this is an XM game, although it will work without one - just with no audio. A huge thank you to you as well, Synthpopalooza - for stepping up to the plate and working on the Pokey Audio. I was starting to lose interest in this game until you came along (mostly because of the issues I was having trying to get my MIDI -> Pokey working). I do plan on getting back to that anyway... If I make an entire editor out of it, I can use it. Glad you all like it. The music made more of a difference than I realized. Bob 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
