I'm currently writing a portable Fasttracker II clone in C using SDL 2.
What is Fasttracker II? Read about it on Wikipedia.

This clone is meant for computers with a modern GPU and CPU (about 2007 or newer recommended).
If it crashes on run, then you most likely have a too old CPU (lack of SSE2) or GPU.

Don't be fooled by positive virus reports on the Windows 32-bit version, they are false detections!

IMPORTANT: If you used beta #84 or #85, please update right now, channel panning was broken!

Beta version #86 download: (binaries updated 15.08.2018 22:42 GMT +2 - changelog)
--> Windows 64-bit (recommended - Windows Vista or later)
--> Windows 32-bit (for Windows XP SP2 or older machines with 32-bit Windows)
--> macOS/OS X 64-bit (10.6 and later - read macOS notice below!)

Source code: ft2clone-b86-code.zip (URL will change with versions)
Please read "HOW-TO-COMPILE.txt". Compiles on GNU/Linux.
A license is going to be applied soon, so for now, don't publish the code anywhere.

Keep in mind that this code is made by one person only, and was never meant to be flexible.
This means that adding stuff to it is not easy unless you know of all the hardcoded stuff to change.
Also note that this is not a direct port of the FT2 Pascal/asm code, only some parts were ported.

macOS/OS X important notice:
- To be able to actually run the program, you need to right click the .app/program and click "Open". This is only needed once, you can open it like normal after this.
- A lot of important keybindings in FT2 are occupied and has to be rerouted or removed in the OS.

Windows important notice:
If ALT+F5 (paste block) doesn't work and you have NVIDIA drivers installed, you need to make sure that 'GeForce Experience' is uninstalled. This controversial program is taking over ALT+F5, and I'm sure you won't miss it.
