Trilobit - “Doctor (Atari 2600)” [Oscilloscope View]

[@PrzeszczepiX]

Literally pushing 2600 to the limits. Even the designers of Atari VCS's hardware back in 1977 didn't predicted that it would be even possible to do so. Amazing.

[@Xonida_NcTroller]

An even more insane one is Kulor - thursday night at the club. Bro managed to get DPCM on the 2600

[@coffee115]

One of the best tunes on one of the oldest sound chips ever made.

[@TheSonicbandicootX]

God make good music with 2 channels. Dude, i love how to sounds* the "strong" Atari square wave.

[@SantiagoVa1entine]

Is it me, or the square wave of the bottom sounds kinda like a sawtooth wave

[@SamplrDesigns]

half saw

[@squarewave]

Pulse waves with no symmetry can sound like that sometimes :D

[@OMundodosRetroGames]

In fact, the SN7 was one of the only chips that could make perfect Square waves, and the Atari's TIA, as well as the NES's 2A03, had these strange Square waves.

[@Xonida_NcTroller]

High pass/DC filter does that

[@QueenOfPessimism]

FINALLY!!!!!

[@FLDE]

This is the best chiptune ever made

[@metarotta]

big boi thx for this

[@TheMaskarad]

Artist's ilmarque, by the by

[@mypkamax]

A weird but catchy TIA chiptune.

[@XaidynPinckney]

0:51 mistake or is it part of the song

[@SantiagoVa1entine]

Part.

[@arro140]

epic

TODO: 50fps upload of the demo.

[@oscwavcommentaccount]

Is this a PAL demo?

[@flygonbreloom]

Yes.

[@oscwavcommentaccount]

@@flygonbreloom So I think it would look better in 50hz because it's a PAL demo.

[@flygonbreloom]

Your monitor is probably 60Hz anyway. Regardless, I've experimented with this sort of thing, and have found that the oscilloscope capture rate 'works' very nicely anywhere above the track's actual update rate. Even if it's only slightly above.

ΜΟΥ ΘΗΜΗΖΗ ΗΧΟ ΑΠΟ ΑΤΑΡΗ ΤΟΥ 1980!!!

[@ExtremeWreck]

What do you know, this just came about while I was putting Courageous Cat And Minute Mouse into my Obscure Cartoon Vault.

[@pschiptunes64]

What emulator did you use? If it was Stella, how'd you manage to get such clean looking waves?

[@acrouzet]

I set the resampling quality to low when recording the waves

[@pschiptunes64]

@@acrouzet Oh, that makes a lot of sense! Thank you!

[@pschiptunes64]

I tried, and it did need high pass to center the waves, but I still see spikes. What other settings did you change to make it look that way?

[@acrouzet]

I record the emulator audio using a screen capture software. It might be your method of recording.

[@acrouzet]

You also need to match the sample rate of your recording software and the emulator..

[@Xonida_NcTroller]

This is amazing, but i still think KK - TIM1T is better
