Another thing that doesn't come easily with a raw-player, is the ability to fade. So, there we have another issue, how to handle that and at the same time keep the cycles down at 96 cycles pr data-pair-write 
.
Yeah, that would require to cache the last written register values, and to always subtract an attenuation value from the volume registers (and update all when volume changes)…
Actually, Lilly's Saga has support for fade down You can hear it when opening a chest.
p.s. I think I’ve said it before, but it’s looking and sounding real nice!
You said it before, thank you, but the dev-team has nothing against hearing it again haha
Looking very very nice 
Thanks tfh!
The game will be out later next year, and there will be a physical copy for sure
And a copy will be mine for sure!
One more of these: maybe you can add a simple animated block for the water? One or two blocks that you update every couple of frames should be enough.... makes it look a little less static and more dangerous.
Thanks for the suggestion. Actually I have thought of that... and so far: ruled it out. There are several objects (pier, land, crates) sticking down into the water which makes this job a bit complicated (this is screen 4 and has color constraints pr 8 pixel-line) and with a "certain size", especially if you want it to be smooth (such animation should have 4 or more frames) and not noisy (adding "stress" to the general image). But, once again, I must admit: it might be possible - even within my 60 fps-constraints
I think I'm the reason it can't be a disk, as most of the ROM will be music and this needs fast access. 
lol, also, unless you guys are very motivated to do so, I would not recommend doing two physical editions. Doing a physical edition (box, packaging, labels, manual, etc.) is *a lot* of work, and you really don't want to have to do it twice
