Hey Chiptuners and developers etc...

Recently I have been thinking about an idea which I think would be pretty sweet to have on LSDJ.

An example of this feature is that it works like the pokemon cart games, when you trade Pokemon via link cable. I think it would be pretty cool if you could do that with LSDJ carts instead but for sharing/transferring songs from one cart to another.

For example if you were at a gig or some chip based event someone may be interested in remixing one of your tracks then it can be sent there on the spot.
Or
Perhaps when you're trying to sort out songs on your LSDJ carts and you want one cart to hold a particular song rather than the other for mixing/set purposes this will allow you to do so without the use of a computer or laptop.

I understand that you can do all of this through using a computer and extracting the .sav/.lsdsng file however I think this would be a nice feature. I guess this is more of a luxury than a necessity. I have no idea about programming and so maybe it's better if this feature doesn't exist for the sake of saving space for ROM development and time etc...

What's your thoughts about this?

Edit:

Johan is planning to add this as the next feature for LSDJ.

That would be nice, I agree.

This would be a great idea and one I could really benefit from especially since at the moment I'm unable to transfer any of my data from my cart to my computer. Yay 64-bit Windows 7 driver problems!

Planned feature for LittleFM, although I don't have an ETA for when this might be implemented.

Wait... you can extract individual song files and move them to a different lsdj.sav? REALLY?? I had no idea. I've been using LSDJ on emulators on multiple computers, and dreading the day when I would get a flash-cart and have to keep loading .savs based on which songs I want to edit.

This thread has been very useful for me.

Given the nature of the medium, one would think this would be a priority feature. I think it'd be awesome to use the link cable to share songs. I think it'd be even cooler if you could use the GBC's infra-red port to zap songs to your laptop.

Are you installing the 64-bit drivers properly?

I'm glad of the amount of support for this feature. I have sent an email to Johan informing him of this thread.

The topic actually came up on the LSDJ list a few months ago too.

Yeah I even got a cd from him with the drivers on it. Tried the cd first, then the other links, both to no avail. I haven't been able to figure out why. I've been just telling myself I'll go back and remake all of my songs on my computer so I can have a backup, even though that will take forever. sad

Received a message from Johan, he expects this to be the next feature on LSDJ that he would like to add.

I remember people talking about this as a joke, can't believe Johan is actually considering it/implementing it.

You can set your computer to test mode and install normally
