Credits

Big thanks to 0xtob for the work on NitroTracker and for making it available under a free software license.

I'd also like to thank reinvdwoerd for their original work and ideas regarding improving NitroTracker, started shortly prior to my own work.

AntonioND's BlocksDS toolchain has allowed incorporating many long put off backend improvements. It builds on the work of many giants, including the dozens of contributors to devkitPro-maintained libraries comprising the devkitARM toolchain, who should also be thanked and acknowledged.

0xtob originally thanked:

  • NitroTracker beta testers: alienspurm, andars, atomtwist, Biiaru, chrislody, grobsen, Ignatzthemouse, infradead, Jono-60, license, lotlemmwax, nitro2k01, nonfinite, parkstenator, reSet, Shagbat, silent_code, spielor, totoee, Vengeful Parasite, willgripp.
  • joat, dovoto and WinterMute for libnds and devkitPro.
  • chishm for the universal FAT library.
  • sgstair for the incredible wifi lib.
  • Headspin for the great on-screen typewriter design.
  • doublec for his ds development tutorials that got me started with DS coding.
  • Martin Korth for the incredible gbatek reference and the no$gba emulator.
  • My friends in #dsdev for patiently answering my questions.
  • starpause for providing the samples used in the tutorial.
  • Michael Krause for the open source SoundTracker, that was a great help with the XM format.
  • Last but not least: Vogue and Mr.H of Triton for Fasttracker II, the tracker that NitroTracker was designed after.
