       Show HN: Pixeltune, a nicer chiptune and VGM player
        
       10 years ago I began working on Muki, a web-based MIDI and chiptune
       player which I eventually announced here on HN[0]. It was a fun
       weekend project.  Over the years I received numerous requests from
       people that wanted more: more music, more features, more playable
       formats, you name it.  Eventually I began working on a complete
       rewrite of the app (this time for real), and, realizing that each
       year another chiptune or MIDI website went offline, I decided to
       start archiving them for preservation.  Today, 10 years after the
       first release, I think it's finally time for the new, nicer version
       to hit the shelves. It's now called Pixeltune and yes, now you can
       actually turn down the volume. :)  Hope you like it!  [0]

         | There's currently a 2:30 min time limit on songs so that they
         | _don 't_ loop forever. I plan to make this configurable, so I
         | could allow setting it to a very long timeframe (something like
         | 10 minutes or so).

       | (game) Music back then was truly on another level and I'm glad
       | some people are archiving the songs and their chips.
