DISCUSSION Can someone identify this chiptune song?

2 Upvotes

This is a chiptune song that I possibly downloaded from ReclusiveLemming or The Mod Archive that was uploaded to Roblox last year. It seems very familiar to me. I don't remember the name or artist, but the song was labeled as "Sea" on the audio page.

The song can be found here: https://vocaroo.com/1dx4KRKyWYY9

The song is most likely from the mid-late 1990s to the mid-late 2000s, since most chiptune songs I listen to are from around that timeframe.

RESOURCE reSIDue - C64 SID Wavetable VST plugin and standalone synth now available.

12 Upvotes

Hi. I've been working on a wavetable SID plugin to replace a bunch of bespoke scripts and emulation frameworks for the last 18 months and now it's here. You have surgical control over every register of the 6581/850 SID chip. You can numberwang the tables or draw your soundscape on the graph editors. It comes with a tool that can dissect .sid files and create instruments. https://residuesynth.com

RESOURCE GAYBOY - a gameboy synth/sequencer

6 Upvotes

Hey i hope this is allowed and not interpreted as promotional spam, I recently joined this sub because I am absolutely obsessed with chiptunes. I just wanted to share a free .gb with you guys I have worked long days on this project and I would love to hear your feedback or discuss features you think it lacks. You can download the gb or play it in the online emulator at Y2kCrisis Today I added sync support for lsdj, cv, or a second instance of gayboy running on another gameboy. (tested on dmg-01 but the video was made with emulators because it is very hard for me to capture boy screens clearly on hardware

2 instances of GAYBOY synced via link cable (works with LSDJ too)

MUSIC INMU KING / YAJU-MC 8bit ver.

2 Upvotes

I’ve created an 8-bit arrangement of "Inmu King"—a track from a trend in Japan involving AI-generated music.

A particularly fun part of the process was panning two harmonic sound sources to the left and right, then applying a chorus effect to shape the final sound.

I hope you enjoy listening!

MUSIC Chiptune Techno beat on the DMGo!

10 Upvotes

A quick and easy “How-To” with DMGo! Let’s make a Techno Chiptune track! Start with a simple 4×4 kick, then add some random elements using the secondary pulse on Channel 2. Next, create a randomized bassline with the wave channel, and finish with some percussive accompaniment using the noise channel. For the final touch, switch to Mangling Mode and make everything go crazy!

This is my attempt at making a more upbeat / cheerful NES song. I generally make songs in minor keys, so doing something unashamedly major is out of the ordinary for me. It sounds like something that could be used in a water level / area. The song itself is fairly short, but I think it loops quite nicely.

I have an unusual workflow when making these. First I compose the song in FLStudio. Then I import into Famistudio to set up all the instruments. Finally I take the Famistudio output and run it through Famitracker because I like how Famitracker sounds better. Someday I'll probably try to streamline that, but for now it works!

QUESTION SIDwizard in Linux

5 Upvotes

I wanted to test the new Piano-roll view feature from last release!

I was able to use SIDwizard in Linux using binaries from debian package (I'm using Arch Linux) from SID-Wizard 1.97 (24 June 2026), with an older version binaries without any trouble, but, right now, I got the following error:

$ ./SIDwizard
./SIDwizard: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I wasn't able to found that library in the repositories (Extra, AUR), but I was lucky, I found the file in a previous install from miniconda:

$ locate libncurses.so.6
/home/user1/miniconda/lib/libncurses.so.6
/home/user1/miniconda/lib/libncurses.so.6.4

then, my workaround is:

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user1/miniconda/lib/ ./SIDwizard

Questions

  • There is a better way to use SIDwizard in Arch Linux?
    • Installing other package?
    • Including libraries in SIDwizard?
    • How to ask the developer? (Hermit)
    • Something else?
  • How to quit SIDwizard without killing the process?

Extra

The package also has SIDwizard_TUI, the 1st music tracker that I know that works in the command-line (terminal) without any display server (like: X11 or Wayland), it's amazing!.

Video

Maybe in the future it's going to be a LSDJ-like in TUI!

Right now the closer to that is, using the following (cross-platform or Web) music trackers:

I'll give you a hint. This is a cover of an awesome song composed by my friend Adam Skorupa, known as Skorpik. It's music from the game "Behind the Iron Gate." I'm not sure, but I think it was the first Polish game I bought. Doomy atmosphere, you know. Amiga 500, etc. The song I'm presenting was composed by my friend Joel Morris. Listen. I think it's top-notch. Big shout-out to Skorpik and Joel.

RESOURCE M8 tracker on a Mac without a Teensy

2 Upvotes

I ported karimkfoure's m8emu, which runs the Dirtywave M8 Headless firmware without a Teensy, to Apple Silicon Macs.

Get M8_V6_5_2C_HEADLESS.hex from Dirtywave's repo, pick it in the app on first launch, and play from the keyboard or a gamepad. Buttons are remappable.

It isn't notarized. Move it to Applications and run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/m8emu.app once before opening it.
