It's really good on the 2-stem stuff. On the 4-stem model, it's a bit shy about the bass part, and parts drift in and out. I'd like to try it on a FLAC.

How easy is it to find people with the know-how? How much do they charge? I'd think you'd find dozens of qualified volunteers willing to work pro-bono to keep a Apple ][-powered museum running. How about 10 years from now? You

160 x 102 is also the resolution of the Bally Astrocade (1977) and at 2 bits per pixel it takes up almost all of the 4KB of RAM. Luckily, you can adjust the number of visible lines, otherwise you'd have only 16 bytes for your data and

This reminds me of the Atari 7800's architecture. The screen is composed of horizontal "zones" with variable heights. Each strip renders one or more objects (sprites or tiles), stopping the CPU to do a DMA transfer on each sc
