From this tune I surmised that a late 1980's sound was required, thus the "Gamerz Xtreme Theme" (as it became known to me) features quite simple sounding instruments with no filter use or effects. Possible for the scrolling message to extend outside those boundaries ifĪs for the music, I was asked by T.M.R a few months back to compose an original tune and was given "S-Express" by C64 legend Jeroen Tel as a reference. This intro would be valid as an Intro CreationĬompetition (ICC) entry since it only occupies the first 16K of RAM, but it's Message notes, it's like an intro maker but without a user friendly

The download also contains the ACME source code and all work files, including the SID tune in it's Goattracker. I've always been fascinated by the use of 'raster bars' on the C64 and although I knew it was something to do with writing colours values to each scanline, I've never previously attempted it until now!Īnyway, enough of the waffle! If you would like to see the intro in action on an emulator or real hardware, it can be downloaded from CSDb here or direct from this blog here. There was also some new learning here for me. Thanks to T.M.R for his guidance on this! Whoops! To squeeze everything in to the same block, I ended up doing little tricks such as assembling the screen data straight to $0400, amongst other things. This is not something I'm used to, so was an interesting challenge, particularly since my Goattracker SID ended up being over 3.5K in size. This little project has been quite interesting in the fact that one of the compo rules says that the intro must be 16K or under in the same block of memory. This intro is so called because the music within it is a SID cover of an Impulse Tracker tune called 'Funky Stars' (but also know as 'Hybrid Song') by Quazar of Sanxion. It should appear below, but if not can be viewed on YouTube here. T.M.R has recorded a video of the intro in action. If you fancy grabbing the intro as well as the music in SID format, along with the original Goattracker music work file for you to poke and prod, download from this blog here. :DĪnd now the downloads: grab the intro from CSDb here or from the Cosine website here. The title of the music is 'Smaciwch fy Ffolennau' which I'll leave you to go and Google translate from Welsh into your chosen language. T.M.R also has a personal blog entry sharing further thoughts about the intro. The 512 available in the C64's character ROM." In this particular case the text writer can select any character from Mode which is usually limited to the first 64 characters of a font, but the scrolling message uses Extended Background Colour The final modifications to add a floppy disk were added when someĪlready existing scrolling message code was merged into the project.

Hardware, it can be downloaded from CSDb here or direct from this blog here. If you would like to see the intro in action on an emulator or real This intro includes my first use of sprites in the top/bottom borders and while there is absolutely nothing amazing going on code wise, it was an interesting exercise in finding out about the limitations of border use. This SID is 'rare' in that is was composed with a 6581 in mind, rather than my usual 8580 choice, but should sound fine on either chip.
#Goattracker sng to video mod#
The music is called 'tiny BONER' because it is a reworked and slightly remixed excerpt of a larger mod called 'Boner' composed by Marx Marvelous/TPPI. The PETSCII was pixelled about 6 months ago when testing my screen editor 'ChillED' and ended up being repurposed for this intro. This intro is thus called because of the simple PETSCII rendition of the 'Guy Fawkes' mask as used by the 'hactivist' group Anonymous.
