Bliptracker v0.9 Beta

[wraggster]

News/release from Dan:

nintendo ds drum machine, synth and sequencer, intended for live performance.

this is beta code, please backup your flash card before installation or use.

requirements

a nintendo ds
some sort of rig to let you use homebrew - this has only been tested on an R4DS

installation

unzip to flash card. samples need to be in the following folders:
\bliptracker\samples\up
\bliptracker\samples\down
\bliptracker\samples\left
\bliptracker\samples\right
each of those folders needs files called
bd.wav
hh.wav
sn.wav
zz.wav
(defaults have been provided)
samples need to be 16bit wav files, best rate is 22050Hz. the loader is pretty basic and there are no guarantees that it'll load everything properly. samples should be smaller than 100kb - in practice you'll probably want much shorter than that because there's only 8 output channels i can use for this.
dldi patch the bliptracker.nds file - follow that link for information, you probably want to download the one that says "dldi win32 right click"
fire it up and have fun!
