  1. It was not taken as offence. sorry if my message was to "aggressive". concerning the tools i use nowadays. if there is interest i can release (new) versions on github.
  2. I wrote so several times: - Chipper is only some (bad) gui for the text/macro based assembler code which is compiled into the lynx binaries. - the version public is not the latest one, but no time/interesst for bug fixes. esp midi import was only added in private distributed version - contrary to what someone wrote above, chipper can directly compile lynx ROMs for test listening. provided that you have the tools installed. BLL/TC name the driver. BLL based one or Zaku based one. The later is better, but the instrument support for chipper is missing. Means, you optimize the instruments by hand and copy them over into the exported file. So the workflow is sub-optimal. nowadays i prefer to edit the instruments directly on the lynx and check them by sending midi commands by comlynx. (und update/download them by comlynx). Even so the tooling is trivial (and the code available on github),you still need a proper(!) usb/serial/comlynx cable.as the tollon the lynx can play not only four channel from live midi, but also read from ROM, it is a nice but ressource hungry midi/synth-player. Some example ROMs can be found here in the forum. Or check the game Tropsy, which was written around a first version of the player. And no: I do not plan any more updates to chipper.
  3. Finally some really useful question and discussion. 👍 But, no i cannot help here besides trivial statements.
  4. The beheading animation has a small bug still, the figure has two heads for fraction of a second
  5. I obviously was kidding. Wish there had been something like that in the 90ties
  6. Rating a multiplayer game by single player is also not a good base for judgement.
  7. I am quite sure you should have least have stumbled upon the April releases in the Atariage forums.
  8. sure, but 512k is nothing special
  9. not aware of a save function. but not played it too much , not my kind of game
  10. define "release": somebody dumped the rom and put it for dl? There may be reasons you dont find them in the atariage or other cataloges.
  11. the rom floating around. so what is the issue to put it in a shellf and sell it for 700 bucks on ebay if you need the money.
  12. for comlynx you need proper timing between instances, otherwise time-out and collisions occur.
  13. no, this wont work. unless you split the triangle in left and right. the problem is the slope on left and right side depend on each other, and are quantized
  14. reading back a bit, issue was to squeeze into 512kb and the inexact right side of the triangles. how did you solve it? > "no option in the sense of a "contest" so you saved 2 bits? cannot imagine that this already did the job.
  15. reviving in this thread ;)))
  16. Rhine Valley != Weimar, oder gibts da auch eines 😂
  17. short the detect pin on the connector :shrug: soft-reset often goes back to the main screen only, not reload the cartridge. Thus a reset button is a nice thing.
  18. wow. you must hate your lynx if you replaced the zener circuit with a cheap some china import without any further testing.
  19. yes, but only with the free tracks. Maybe I should point out that you can play anytime, and do not have to wait for the challenge.
