I'm trying to create music in the style of some older consoles, and I wanna check if my info is correct. Lmk if anything is wrong or if I should post this somewhere else:

Atari 2600

• One noise channel, one sound channel
• Both can be tuned through a wide range, although it doesn't follow the standard 12 TET scale

NES

• Two square channels, one triangle, one noise, one sample
• Squares had 12.5, 25, and 50% duties which can be altered at any time
• Sample track was rarely used, and only up to a 7-bit short sample
• Square, triangle, and noise channel could be tuned to many ranges, vibrato, etc
• Triangle volume was static

SNES

• 8 tracks, all samples
• Still had to be compressed, extent of compression is unknown
• Didn't utilize waveform sounds
• Samples could be looped, panned, anything else?

N64

• Unlimited amount of sample tracks
• Compression of samples unknown
• Reverb, delay??? without need of a backing channel

Gamecube

• Some games used audio files for songs, but MIDI was mostly used
• Practically no limitations, especially with a larger disc
• Capable of outputting many audio effects

I'm probably wrong about a lot of this and I'll edit it as I gain new info for myself and anyone else who might need it

I'm sure this question is asked several times a week, but I think I have a special situation.

A while ago, I was somewhat skilled in block coding and could program anything I wanted with it. In my eyes, this means I understand the logic aspects of coding. However, I don't know how to program when the logic isn't clearly labeled and given to me. How difficult would it be to transition between the two, and where should I begin? I've got a lot of spare time in the next couple of months

My main focus is coding in game development

I can't hear it with the bass since they're the same, any help? There's gonna be some dictation questions on an upcoming AP test

For the life of me, I cannot detect these intervals correctly when I hear them in melodic dictation. Share your best ways or songs to remember them!
