Some questions

So I've been playing the game and I really enjoy it but I got a couple questions.

  1. What soundfont/instrument table are you using? I'm gonna make a quess, Roland SC-88, because of the french horn.
  2. Can you (or someone else) do a series on how to make a game for the n64 on modern hardware and no 64drive? I've really wanted to try it but its hard for me to understand how to make a game with the N64 Squid guide.

Hope you can answer!

Keep going! - XKoop7321

The soundfont came from an example program in modern sdk https://github.com/lambertjamesd/N64GameJam/blob/master/sound/ins/Bank.ins

If you are new to N64 development, I would recommend Libdragon https://github.com/DragonMinded/libdragon

It is pretty easy to get started with and has plenty of examples you can work from.

If you want to use libultra, which as a warning will be harder than libdragon, use modern sdk https://crashoveride95.github.io/modernsdk/index.html

Both of these libraries will work best if you are using linux. If you are using windows I would recommend you setup WSL with ubuntu.

Thanks! I'll check out libdragon first, as I am not the most professional with n64 development as i've never done it lol.
