For 12.5k I would port POP for the Lynx

Thanks for having a look at it.

Remark 0:
You can close all but three windows. The main mixer, the "instrument" panel and the "Tracker".
Most of the other stuff is meant for sound effects (like timeline for example).

Remark 1:
Well It was not started as a tracker, nor is the underlying driver a "tracker" driver.

Remark 2:
It was meant as a tool to emulate the hardware better than handy and check out sound directly without to bother running it in the emulator.
This its more a converter (from mod or others) which takes the notes and replaces the instruents than a full tracker.

Remark 3:
Without useful resonance ther is no reason to improve it.
"Have a look at other trackers" is not too useful, as I know that already.

Uhoh, this argumnet is soo wrong. There is a tracker because there are people who wanted one and invested their time.

And sure, you can take fami or rmt or maxymizer and "just" change the instrument part. but _who_ will do that :-)

If you want some improvements, specify them, then I see if I have time to add them.
If you have a lot of time, you can have the source code and do the changes yourself.

If you (or I) have a lot of time, the best choice would be to completly rewrite it from scratch and remove all the dead ends in teh software.

Yes thats really a surprise. But what did you expect :-)

sure, because the timing for Sprite rendering is not (well) documentend.
Anyway, a emulated delay for Math and Sprites is really the last feature I would request.
Its sooo useless unless you use it to detect on which hardware you run on

From your mail I guess you really talk about _your_ homebrew creations?
Then please can you give more details which development environment you use?

• plain lyxass
  
• newcc65 (BS/MD/...)
  
• cc65.org ("karri")

as they use all different startup codes.

>>Thank you sage, I am interested in the outcome, it may be correlated with the issues I am myself facing.

O.k. i fixed it, but I actually do not understand why it didnt work

the following init code is working:

CLEAR_ZP
INITMIKEY
INITSUZY
FRAMERATE 75
INITIRQ irq_vektoren
SCRBASE screen_0
stz vbl_cnt
cli
SETIRQ 2,VBL_1F

the following code does not work on lynx 1

    INITMIKEY
    INITSUZY
    CLEAR_ZP
    INITIRQ irq_vektoren
    SETIRQ 2,VBL_1F
    ;;; do some other irelevant things here
    SCRBASE screen_0
    FRAMERATE 75
    cli
    CLS #0
