I have written a portable ProTracker 2 (v2.3D) clone in C using SDL 2. Here's a screenshot.
What is ProTracker? Read about it on Wikipedia.
Note #1: If you're using a French keyboard layout, you must not hold down shift while entering numbers in
the pattern data.
Note #2: If you have more than one monitor connected to your PC, and they use different refresh rates, you
might get some program issues!
PT2 clone v1.75 download: (21st of May 2025 18:24 - GMT +2 -
changelog)
Source code and more info can be found over at GitHub. Please read "HOW-TO-COMPILE.txt".
Windows important notice:
- If ALT+F5 (paste pattern), ALT+F11 etc. doesn't work and you have an NVIDIA GPU, you need to make sure that
the keybindings are disabled in 'GeForce Experience' (if it's installed).
macOS/OS X important notices:
- 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.
- To get the config file to load, protracker.ini has to be in the same directory as the .app (program) itself
- A lot of important keybindings in PT are occupied and has to be rerouted or removed in the OS
- If the fullscreen key (F11) doesn't work, you need to hold down the fn-key as well. If it still doesn't work, the
F11 key might be set to "Show Desktop" in the OS settings
Linux important notice:
- To get ALT+F4 (copy pattern) and ALT+F5 (paste pattern) working, you have to change these
keyboard shortcuts in your OS to something else.
