Does GEMS only update FM parameters once every video frame, or can it do it more often than that?

This was probably one of the biggest reasons why people liked Sonic so much, and yet it's so rarely talked about. Maybe because it's hard to put into words.

Also, from what I remember the 8-bit...

I like how 16-bit games often have an arcade-style "attract mode" if you stay on the title screen for a while, and a sound test in the options menu that lets you listen to all the music, voice clips,...

Seems to me that the SNES could run a port of Sonic without too many problems. The lower resolution would be a pain, but as far as CPU is concerned it'd just have to use less compression and inflate...

Any news from this guy lately? This is a really exciting thing if it all works out, and I'd gladly contribute to a donation effort to help pay for the tape drive.

lawl, how the hell did I miss this thread for so long? Bronies are the gift that keeps on giving; endless lulz from these guys.

Oh man, I love that scene so much. The music is so perfect.

In the SNES version it's just sweat. ;)

Any chance you'll share the tracker files with us? I'd love to mess with some of those patches (that violin in Scorched Sands for one).

I've only listened to a few of them, but so far I like the Genesis versions better for about 80% of them. They just sound like they're mixed better, even if the instruments are more primitive.

I say do it anyway; it's not like I was ever going to actually code anything along those lines. ;)

To get a true wavetable synth though, wouldn't you have to change both the start AND end points...

This is pretty fucking cool, how is it done?

If I had to guess I'd say maybe it's changing the loop point at a micro-scale as a way of changing the waveform, and using the frequency control to...

Is it true that animations can only update every other frame? I've never heard anything about that before; what's the technical reason for it?

Okay, maybe I'm being a little unfair. But the low framerate in the battle scenes makes the game a lot less fun to play. Every other 2D Genesis game has a full 60 FPS, and yet something that's just...
