23.1.2003 ... Well, enjoy, I'm still working on RMT (block copy/modify functions). Yesterday I went to bed at 01:41 (it's today really, ugh). Please, If you have done some song(s) in RMT (*.rmt) or any amazing RMT instruments (*.rti), you can send me it to my e-mail. I would like to hear it. Thanks.
BTW - If you want to say your opinion about need for implementation of some other special features (for example possibility for setting AUDCTL 1.79MHz resolution bit without join of two channels), please use the message board.

20.1.2003 ... So, RMT spent the whole weekend time again. Well, You want RMT very much, You can get it now. IMPORTANT WARNING! It's very early beta 1.00 version with some ugly bugs (mainly there is a problem with sound output and inaccurate Pokey emulation), with incomplete unfinished not revised documentation, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. THE ENTIRE RISK IS ASSUMED BY YOU. Download here: rmt10b.zip (90 KB) (also some example songs, instruments and demo songs included.)
Oh, I'm quite tired... Can I take a rest now? Please... ;-)

13.1.2003 ... Thank you very much for all the greetings and "good luck" wishes. However, I am concerned to state the beta version isn't finished yet. You don't be sad, I'm still working on it, be sure. Main reason why I don't public RMT in currently state is that one very ugly bug coherent to sound output is still inside. But I'm on the scent of it and I hope it will repaired soon. Likewise I started to write a simple manual. That's all for now. Have a good time.
