newcoleco, have you tried the trick of using the noise channel on the third audio channel of the coleco? I know it's emulated in the Chipsounds VST plugin, and it allows for a bigger octave variation than the dedicated noise channel.

Yes, I'm trying everything I know about the sound chip inside the ColecoVision, don't worry about that.

I'm fully aware of the buzzer-like sound that can produce the noise channel while set to periodic noise... because it sounds like a bass instrument and I'm using it in all my CV chiptunes. It's true that this ptero-yelling sound has a buzzer-like sound to it, so it may works just fine. I need to figure out the proper frequencies and give it a try.

Another great thing about this thread is that it really shows the hoops that HomeBrewers go through to code these games. Building a title from the Ground up is a big job (even in 32K), and this little slice of just adding sound to an incomplete project is great. I swear I'm checking this thread 4-6 times a day now.

Kudos go out to everyone working on this!

I'm not gonna work on any coleco project for the next 2 weeks or so... talk to you later!

Take care!

Do you mean other than Joust, or do you mean that your not working on any Coleco games at all!
