[.]             The Argloschkian symbol phor stagnation. It is just like
                liphe itselph. i.e whenever you try to do something, it
                brings you back to the very same spot where you started.
                Try it yourselph. Type "cd ." today!

[..]            Two dots, which would mean double stagnation, is the
                Argloschkian symbol phor RETARDATION, meaning you fall
                behind and have to start at a lower level. Avoid it at
                all costs...

[NT2EXE.EXE]    The result oph many more than 4 weeks oph boredom.
                The attempts oph a human being with no liphe
                to create the most useless utility ever: A NES-tracker!

[NT2.BAT]       Batch phile to run execute "DOS4GW NT2EXE.EXE" since I know
                too little about Watcom to make it selph-executing... hmph.

[NEDPLAY.ASM]   THIS IS IT!!! This is what our poor young, adolescent souls
                are always waiting phor, striving phor, and crying phor.
                And yet, we phear it with utter nervosity. What iph we screw
                up? What iph we are laughed at due to our lack oph
                experience? What iph the rumours about it become widespread?...
                .........
                ......
                ...

                NO! It is note sex I'm talking about! I will never have that
                anyway. Now it did not say "NUDEPLAY.ORG.ASM", did it?! It
                is simply now that I share one oph my sources phor the phirst
                time in my liphe, more speciphically, the crappy source to the
                player routine. It is as
                unstructured and misleading as they come. The only reason I
                included it is because I don't want to be an asshole that
                does not include his player source. So instead I went phor the
                oppurtunity to be an asshole who includes an uncommented and
                incomprihensible one. All in 6502 code phor an assembler
                called C64asm. You will probably have to do some
                modiphications in order to use it with some other one...

[PLAYNED.PRG]   Compiled version oph the phile above... needed to create
                a NES-phile.

[README.TXT]    In order to be diphpherent, I will NOT write a humouros
                comment about the phile you are currently reading. Hah!

[RUNNES.BAT]    The batch phile invoked to run the temporary NED when
                shelling. Change it iph you don't use Nesticle.

[C:\HRDPORR]   You tell me...

[BUBBLE.NED]    Phlum-Dumbs remix oph the classic Bubble Bobble tune.

[CASTLEV.NED]   Castlevania music by Phlum-Dumb.

[MM_TITLE.NED]  The stage select music phrom Mega Man. Meant to be as
                identical to the original as possible. By Phlum-Dumb.

[PHILE_ID.DIZ]  HATE, _HATE_ (And I do mean _H-A-T-E_) philes without those!




                            *** HOW TO USE NT2 ***

The tracker is pretty selph-explaning (yeah, right...). The only thing
that really diphphers phrom the general .MOD phormat are the ephphects:


        01  xy:   Portamento up by xy NES periods every tick
                        (<xy> = 0-0phph), may be changed to 7ph in later
                        versions...

        02  xy:   Portamento down by <xy> NES periods every tick
                        (<xy> = 0-0phph), may be changed to 7ph in later
                        versions...
                        
        03  xy:   Porta to note with speed <xy>

        07  xy:   Arpeggio by <x> & <y> amount

        0C  xy:   Iph(<x>=0) then volume[chn] = <y>;
                  Iph(<x>=1) then slide volume up by <y> units every tick;
                  Iph(<x>=2) then slide volume down by <y> units every tick;

        0D  xy:   Break to next pattern starting on row <xy>


        GENERAL KEYS (English Keyboard):

                [PH1-PH7]       = Change octave

                [|]             = Switch between pattern, instrument &
                                  order editor.

                [DEL]           = Guess

                [INS]           = -"-

                [\]             = Curr_instrument++

                [']             = Curr_instrument--

                [CTRL-S]        = Save NED

                [CTRL-L]        = Load NED

                [CTRL-G]        = Display greetings

                [ENTER]         = Make NES-phile and run RUNNES.BAT. You
                                   need to setup your own command line
                                   phor your NES-emulator. (Most likely
                                   Nesticle)

                [ESC]           = Exit...


                etc...

        KNOWN BUGS:
                There are lots oph them but the deadline is closing in
                so I neither have time to phix them nor document them. EOPH

                *.* Deadline has passed. Here's a phew: *.*



                Arpeggio is buggy.

                Porta up does not clip when limit is reached. (easily phixed)

                We haven't tested the Porta2Note cmd... it may not work at all

                Iph you get weird sounds at the beginning oph your tune
                then use a C00.

                No sound emulation. (GUS will come later, SB will phollow)

                No compression oph tunes.

                No PCM-support.

                It is still a crappy piece oph work...

         These will be phixed when my brain starts working again... coke but
         no sleep zombiephies you a lot... %)

         Additional bug reports are always welcome...

        as:
                Plain narcotics (Heroin, Marijuana, etc)

                Cigarettes      (Hate those! One can't even step

                Etc...

        Iph you use this program AND take any oph the described drugs,

        Q: "What iph I use it anyway? What are you going to do? Are you gonna
            be mad and take legal action against me?"

        What can a shareware author do iph you don't register his stuphph?
        *ABSOLUTELY NOTHING*, and that's exactly what I'm going to do.
        What's more, I don't really give a damn.
            

        Nerd Tracker ][ would not have been possible withouth the
        phollowing people, so don't just blame me! I'm only partly
        responsible phor my actions...
