nanoloop 2.7 (Page 3 of 4)

I must be doing something really stupid. I'm trying to update the rom without success, on both win and osx: opened the prompt/terminal, typed ./nlmidi04 -send nanoloop270.mb. Ok, it enters send mode. So I boot the gba holding start+select until the nintendo logo disappears and it stays like this forever. Nothing happens, the gba screen stays stuck on the gameboy logo (without the nintendo logo) and the prompt stays stuck on send mode forever.

Any idea?

I was preparing to try the update when I realized I have traded away all my GBA/SP consoles.    Is there any other way to update a nano2 cart?  Hopefully with a DS (which is what I use it on anyway)?

I'll add it in 2.7.1.

In the meantime, you can still load your old patterns with infinite decay. You could copy a note with infinite decay and use it in your new patterns. You could even make an empty pattern withcopied and deleted infinite decay notes and store it as a preset.

Not only is this post entirely close-minded under the guise of enlightened, it's also inconsiderate.  The simple fact is, some peoples' brains work better with note values than arbitrary dots.  Your "break[ing] the mold" is really just you shutting out reality because you have some ludicrous preconceived notion about music theory.  Theory teaches you there's more than major and minor.  It teaches you that one is not happy nor is one sad.  It teaches you the different ways to divide an octave and different tunings and how to use them effectively.  This is not the place to spout hate speech about music theory, especially when it teaches exactly what you are preaching.

Beyond that, note names weren't forced on anyone.  You could use it if you wanted.  They are also exactly the same thing as the dots, just represented in a mildly different manner.

I'll be sticking with my old 2.3 until note names come back.  2.7 seems worth the update, but note names help my process so I'll wait for their return.
