The hcs project list by hcs at 3:52 AM EDT on March 10, 2008
Here's the hcs project list or: What's on my mind or: Why hcs isn't working on what you want
Things I'm working on:
vgmstream - a moderately ambitious project to play streamed audio better than in_cube which no one is helping me with yet... brsar_unpack - a half-useful .brsar unpacker, needs more useful lafs - a half-useful .afs unpacker alt-n64dev - trying to get this into a more useful and clean state, specifically getting a usable gsupload school - a light, but nontrivial, courseload for my last semester work - preparations for my first real job, including moving halfway across the country straightening shit up - my room, my computer, etc.
Things I really want to work on (from time to time includes the above):
sdat tool - sdat extraction that doesn't suck Escape from Pong 2 - a game I'm trying to write (game design, code, graphics, music) SNES emu for N64 - I must do this. minimal input programming language for portable devices - if you suggest Brainfuck you don't get what I mean, but I haven't arrived at exactly what I mean either... rockbox - wikipedia viewer needs a lot of work, as does gbs player and the broken playback engine gekko - we gotta get GC audio emulation working SNES development - bought a backup system, haven't written a damned thing for it Lookfar - Distant Planets Java port less than halfway done
and this is why I always feel busy and/or guilty about both not doing stuff and doing stuff.

Oh, and how could I forget: The Mushroom Wars - a sci-fi comedy universe I work on with a friend, currently home to one novella-length story (which needs to be proofread one more time and then spammed to publishers), a longer work in progress, and a fairly vast storyline yet to be developed.
Yes, that's certainly plenty to be getting on with! Regarding vgmstream, what do you need help with? I'm not sure if there's anything I could do that you couldn't do better... :P
Well, I'd like some help implementing formats. Now that most of the decoding stuff is in place it should be possible to just add new metadata types. But I know things aren't really well-documented enough to make it clear how this can be done. And you're right: while I'm sure others could do just fine, or better, I probably wouldn't be happy with it anyway. That's why I need to document things better to make it clear how I expect things to be done, so others can just fill in the blanks.
Mushroom Wars, what? by Yoshinkeru at 7:30 PM EDT on March 12, 2008
When I follow the "Mushroom Wars" link, it takes me to "Cantspell’s Olde Fashund Soupe Phaktorie®"?!?! Is...this supposed to happen, hcs?
Famitracker can help you with making NES music, however I'm a Mac user, not a Windows user.
I could make SNES music, but I make them in a tracker format to convert them to SPC. I make them in Schism Tracker. XMSNES will help with musical conversions, although my format is currently not supported. That would be IT.
