Android Goattracker compatible tracker
FakeSID is a FOSS Android chiptune tracker (inspired by LFT's Blackbird). The coder is now considering rewritting the whole thing, basing it on Goattracker! One very nice aspect of this is that Goattracker's .sng-files easily can be converted to SidWizard .swm-files (With Hermit's sng2swm-tool).
According to this thread on Github, the dude mentions he would need a little bit of help with some of the 6510-assembly bits. Anybody here who perhaps would like to point him towards the right direction? In that case leave a comment and more details can be added. Have a look at this thread: https://github.com/2bt/fakesid/issues/1#issuecomment-822011536
Personally I love the idea of punching in a few melodies or beats on my phone whilst being on the bus, and then move the fragments over to the breadbox when at home :) Also the gui on the previous/earlier android installment (FakeSID) is really sweet. Screenshots/apk are available at Github link above or at Play where it has gotten some pretty great ratings: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twobit.fakesid |

I just uploaded another update. The APK can be found with the same link as above. At this point I feel like the release on the Google play store is imminent. |

Works now. Will try it out when I'm having X-mas holidays and I only bring my Android phone. |

Happy new year! Were you able to try out the app? How did it go?
Jump commands can be used not just for loops but to jump to some other place for the purpose of reuse. It seemed to me that this usage is not very common so I didn't feel bad not supporting this. However, it seems to be very common that instruments and table commands share table data but don't necessarily point to the same address. I had not foreseen this, unfortunately. Perhaps this is where the idea of having a separate table for each instrument breaks apart. :( I wonder how bad it feels for someone used to reusing table date this way to be forced to create a separate table. |

This is... AMAZING.
I have tried it out on android phone and it went waaaay beyond my expectations. I expected some alpha/beta-software and found the most intuitive and powerful sid-composer software I have ever seen. One of the best things happening on CSDB in months and since this the shread about this started in 2021 all i can say now in 2025 is.... worth waiting for.
A few thoughts
1. That it's shipped with only one song is infinitly better than if there is no songs. However to study and learn I tossed some 15 .sng files shipped with GTultra into this folder GTmobile
> Android > data > com.twobit.gtmobile > files > songs.
In case anybody is interested here are the files that worked flawlessly (not being in x2 and x3 speed etc): https://nextcloud-fingal.griffin.mygiga.cloud/s/SNGs
2. Precious space is lost on top and bottom of the app. But this is very easily remedied by having Immersion Mode implemented. Immersive mode will free up valuable screen space by hiding/toggle system UI elements such as the status bar and navigation bar. The code for it is here:
https://nextcloud-fingal.griffin.mygiga.cloud/s/ImmersiveMode
3. On older Android versions (10) app does not work. Only a corner of the app is displayed in a part of the screen but tapping in certain places produce keyboard sounds. Perhaps this is know to dev.
This was just a few things from the top of my head.
---
Without going into details i must say that I liked many of the above suggestions by Hein. Does the link above btw still have the latest version? I hope that there always will be a way to get the apk since I like many do not use Google Play Store.
Congratulations for making such a cool app 2bt ! |

Thanks for the positive feedback, Splunkh!.
I update the apk behind the link regularly. The last update was just now. Here are some updates: Files are stored in Documents/gtmobile. Multi-speed is supported. Tables are rewritten during song loading to handle instruments that jump around the table. There's a way to load and save instruments by double-tapping the instrument tab.
I think it's important to have more demo songs and also a reasonable instrument library. I will need help for that, though. |

Hey there :)
So i installed latest version but it had issues. There is no way I can add any additinal songs anymore.
- If i add them (the ones i linked above) into Documents/gtmobile they do not show up. Only hyperspace is there.
- If i delete this song from app the app crash and then resinstall it. If i delete it from Documents/gtmobile it just say "error cant load file" (which is good, meaning its looking in the right place)
- If i uninstall app and reinstall it will crash upon startup every time. The cause for this is that there is already a Documents/gtmobile folder there. That folder needs to be deleted. Then the app can create a new folder and start normally. |

If you like to have some of my songs as example, I try to keep them all tidy and sorted after release here:
https://github.com/jansalleine/sidtunes
There is also an instruments folder in each song directory. But I have a hard time coming up with names, so "lead1.ins" or "arp 0 7 C.ins" in one song usually is different from "lead1.ins" / "arp 0 7 C.ins" in another song. |
