<ValleyBell> If you just want to have a try at OPL stuff, you could try a VGM sound driver.
<ValleyBell> I wrote one a few years ago for someone from the #vgmrips channel.

<Lord_Nightmare> cr1901_modern: where can i get the star tetris II source code?
<cr1901_modern> Lord_Nightmare: Interestingly enough, looks like the author's website is down
<cr1901_modern> It was written by Narech Koumar
<cr1901_modern> And I don't remember the address of his website w/o a search :(
<Lord_Nightmare> http://st2.narechk.net/index_en.html probably
<cr1901_modern> that's it
<Lord_Nightmare> the page doesn't mention star tetris at all
<cr1901_modern> it's an Adlib only driver IIRC
<Lord_Nightmare> ..at least anymore
<Lord_Nightmare> but if we go back to archive.org in 2007
<Lord_Nightmare> then it does
<cr1901_modern> this must've been a recent change
<cr1901_modern> I def checked within the past few months
<Lord_Nightmare> i'm guessing he got a nastygram from henk rogers at the tetris company
<Lord_Nightmare> st2-bin-400 and st2-src-400
<cr1901_modern> Is he known to be a hardass?
<Lord_Nightmare> yes
<Lord_Nightmare> anything with the trademarked name 'tetris' in it, as well as anything which uses falling tetrominoes in the same size field as tetris uses
<cr1901_modern> joke's on them, ST includes quintominoes :D
<Lord_Nightmare> the latter shouldn't be copyrightable as it is a game rule, but somehow one federal court disagreed and disageed with precedent
<Lord_Nightmare> so the current court rulings are fucked since two federal circuits disagree that game rules themselves are copyrightable
<Lord_Nightmare> they shouldn't be, but
<Lord_Nightmare> https://web.archive.org/web/20180422073829/http://st2.narechk.net/index_en.html was the last time the site showed star tetris
<Lord_Nightmare> so sometime between april 2018 and jan 2019 it changed
