What are you working on?

I'm making some SGDK compatible libraries and tools for gendev.
(I thought about publishing you (for tests) first version of my small library ;P )
And you?

Interesting! What kind of libs and tools, exactly?
As for me, I haven't done anything in a long, long while.

I'am making a supplement for SGDK, some much easier functions in use than old, with more capabilities. I'm on beginning of works, and I have only one "module" working. At this moment it has quite big documentation for only few functions in one "module".
Tools... for this moment - only plug-in for Notepad++ with compiling and testing functions. ;D
PS. I'm minimalist. I love small amount of functions (with few arguments), big capabilities and sorted in few "modules". ^^

That sounds really interesting
Do you think your methods could eventually be added to the main SGDK library later then ?

Learning how to make music so I can actually use the 2612 synth I made
Also saving up for one of these
http://www.mydiycnc.com/full_product so I can mill the circuit board myself.

It is cheaper to let chinese do your PCBs, more healthy too.... PCB dust will destroy your lungs when inhaled...
As for my projects, I am working on a very extensive MD sound tool.

batchpcb takes soooo long and cnc machines are soooo cool

Places like itead studio are a lot nicer.

Nothing... I'm tired. Doing gems_combine... All that's left to do: my own assembly with labels, sections, "equ", "set", and expressions.
mindblowing.
Code is here:

I hate when you create very stable code, and you make big changes, and then it's soo buggy... ;D
But the satisfaction, when you fix everything...

Not sure if it's a good idea to post here, but anyways...
I'm working on my own 68k Sound Driver "SMEG" (or "GEMS" in reverse, just for fun)
it reads .it files directly, without converting at all (but you have to find the pattern data yourself in hex)
Supports all 6 FM channels, DAC (disables FM6 obviously), PSG: all 4 channels (noise controlled by clock), noise can be controlled with notes but disables PSG3
it supports reading DAC pitch with notes, but it's buggy for now
here's a sample .vgz:

Until i implement SFX, maybe i'll release it for your homebrew needs...

Oh that is totally awesome and unexpected !
You said 68k driver, does that mean it works entirely on 68K ? I guess you use the Z80 for DAC playback ?
You also said it support IT format directly but what software you can use to produce valid IT (instruments need to be in YM format).

Good point. I'm also interested in "IT"
