Great work! Maybe you can add an option to use the 'heightmap' method described by Justin in his blog post. And maybe let users add their own palettes? :)


Thanks! I'll look into adding custom palettes & the heightmap method. Might not get to it tbh - but I'll take a look.


Figuring out how to add game boxart and screenshots to my recently-relaunched MIDI and chiptune player: https://pixeltune.org/

It's a fun challenge, because I need to figure out how to reliably determine the matching game for files like /pub/johnny/midi/games/sc2kmenu.mid, and also to show them in a way that fits nicely in the UI.


Yes, as I mentioned in other comment, Pixeltune applies a reverb effect on some of the cores. There's currently no way to turn it off but there will in the near future. :)

Kudos for sfc.fm by the way!


Yes, track duration is on the TODO list.

I will also add an "export data" option for you, so you can rest safe that you won't lose your beautifully curated playlists. :)


Oh, yes. That's because the Famitracker port I'm using[0] is a bit old and doesn't support the newer .ftm versions. So in case the player doesn't support a given song, there's a fallback to using FTMtoMID so you can still listen to it.

This was all done before I ported Furnace Tracker (that also supports the .ftm format) so I might just use Furnace for playing them. I have to check whether it can play the newer .ftm versions.

Will check. Thanks for the heads up.


I still haven't tested the player on mobiles thoroughly. Do you at least see the oscilloscope running?


Yes! I thought at first I had audio routed to a Bluetooth device, but that wasn’t it. Oh well. I’ll have to take a look on my laptop, though.

[update] fun stuff!


Woot!


Thank you. I have a few minimal/ambient playlists that are great for concentration. I'll include one or two in the featured section!


That's precisely the source of inspiration!


Chip Player is awesome. I love the retro-looking UI.
