Title: Decent console-based tracker
Post by: whabang on January 05, 2011, 01:54:02 PM
Does such a thing exist?

I've been thinking about getting back to creating mods, as I spend two hours a day on a train and need something to do. However, i try to run as much as possible in the terminal (faulty touchpad).

In a similar response to the above: http://nitrotracker.tobw.net/

However, I'm not aware of any console (I assume Linux console?) based trackers.  However, I suspect most gui trackers would have sifficient keyboard shortcuts (probably replicating pro-tracker) to make mouse control optional at best.   I'd also be tempted to run pro-tracker under WinUAE (under wine) or E-UAE or similar under native Linux...

Yeah - NitroTracker for the DS - not answering the original posters question but NitroTracker has worked for me on boring commutes in the past so thought it worth mentioning :)

There is also a tracker (or trackers) available for the original black & white Gameboy (the latter of which you can pick up at a Thrift Store for $5).

I meant the linux console, but I'll give the GameBoy tracker a try, as I got a GBA lying around here somewhere. :)

That looks as if it was exactly what I was looking for! Cheers!

Thanks to kids today, we'll have to stick to "terminal" when we mean a shell console.

Guilty!  Although, Slipstream died in the 1990's - I'm kinda retro like that ;)

I'll have to check out GoatTracker myself!

Alas, Goattracker doesn't run in the console, but in it's own window, which unfortunately is too large for my laptop screen. I am going to give it a go on the desktop, though.

Seems as if I'm going to have to run Digibooster in UAE instead! :D

Cool! :)

Which Slipstream were you a part of? The pre 1992 SLP or the 93 to mid-90's lot?
