Mamar hides this complexity now, and I added an 'Automatic' option (value 255 😉) that determines how much polyphony your track actually uses and then uses that

here's a demo of Paper Mario with peer-to-peer networking! how? by writing a separate application that talks to the emulator (or your favourite flashcart) over the GDB remote serial protocol. the game makes an RPC call (e.g. "move me to this xyz"), and it is broadcast to all peers over WebRTC 🤯

The Paper Mario music file format, BGM (background music), uses a bytecode similar to, but more powerful than, MIDI. It includes support for subroutines and its delta time system works in a different way to MIDI. You can play about with BGM using my BGM editing tool, Mamar: mamar.nanain.town
