chibi-tech's Nerdtracker II NED grab-bag collection
===================================================

Hi, chibi-tech here.

For the sake of historical purposes, here is a mostly-complete collection of my
Nerdtracker (NT2) NED music files (at least what I could find from one of my
old hard drives) -- dating from 2002 to 2008.

This includes templates and WIP files of varying levels of progress 
(considering how arduous it was to make complex songs I personally deem 
acceptable, the progress is often only 1-2 patterns, lol).

I haven't bothered checking for redundant files or whatnot; composing in a
tracker originally meant for MS-DOS without any file explorer features does
get messy, and it's up to you to rummage through my mess. :)


Although i might've made some mistakes since I only briefly checked the songs,
the NED files are separated by:

1. "dual NTSC-PAL" compliant songs -- which play reasonably fine on the
   original Nerdtracker v2.1 NT2.EXE MS-DOS program, and, as the name suggests,
   play fine on either PAL or NTSC modes (though the timing MIGHT sound
   ever-so-slightly off on NTSC mode due to the frame-skipping method used).

2. "NTSC-only" songs -- which are meant for a special kind of replay code that
   omits any NTSC-specific frame-skipping features. These songs will play ~17%
   slower than intended on the original unmodified NT2.EXE -- and are
   technically not meant for PAL playback.


There are a few sets of NED songs intended for special kinds of replay codes
that swap sequentially between multiple exported data as playback reaches
certain specified pattern number(s) specified directly in the code:

1. SYOTA1.NED -> SYOTA2.NED
2. IYOU1.NED -> IYOU2.NED - IYOU3.NED

The hacked replay codes intended for these sets of songs were done by Joe
Parsell (Memblers). I gotta thank him immensely for having patience with my
wonky feature requests over those golden years. :)


Anyway, hope you guys enjoy a little bit of chibi-tech history, and I sincerely
hope you learn something from them.
