Support
DreamTracker is currently free and open source. If you would like to support development, you can peruse the source code here.
You can also support the project by supporting the band Tim is a part of, Victim Cache. We use Dream Tracker, along with other trackers and chiptune instruments and there’s a good chance you might like at least some of the music we make. Proceeds from our album and merch sales help fund development of Dream Tracker.
Or simply spread the word about Dream Tracker and the Commander X16.

Tim’s Oddball Ideas For the X16
These are, honestly, probably distractions from working on DreamTracker but I needed a place for these so I wouldn’t forget them when I’m able to work on them.
