This project is not dead.
Those interested in following development can visit http://gendev.spritesmind.net/forum/vie … 4242#24242
Keep in mind this is a Sega development forum, so try to keep things dev related.
And... sorry for the lack of updates in two years.

very cool! im excited to see where this goes.
SO pumped! I would also love to see an LSDJ/LGPT style interface for the program, with tables as well. Also there of course has to be a way to back up your files onto the pc... Really glad to see you're still working on it. Keep us posted!
The interface is heavily inspired by lsdj's. There are many more features planned however and more flexibility and convenience with songwriting. Now some things will need to be changed to account for the FM/PSG instruments, but fans of lsdj should feel comfortable with this tracker.
Just a reminder: the original mega drive 3 pad button HURTS. You don't want to get hurt live. Use a keyboard on a computer, at home. Be safe.
v0.04 finished. Demo coming up on next revision (with sound tests).
A reminder to those that don't already know. You can follow development of YMDJ on this forum http://gendev.spritesmind.net/forum/vie … 4242#24242
Awesome work and thanks a lot for the update. I'm very interested in following the development of this.
Awesome.
I have a few hundred of these boards. They were made to be a cheap way to release Genesis/Megadrive software, let me know if you're interested in a cart release when the project is mature enough.
It's a beautiful thing. But no RAM on board, hey. 
I am so unreasonably excited by all of this

Hey batty,
I have to talk with you about dual port RAM. I am having trouble getting mine to read out the other side. I'll PM you after work.
RAM is not strictly necessary. If you're using a flash chip (which I'm assuming is the intention, rather than a one time programmable chip) you can store song data on the same chip, since teh chip is divided into sectors. As a matter of fact, I may be interested in getting 4 of those boards, bare. I once got the opportunity to pick chips from stuff that was going to be thrown away. Among those were 4 pieces of PA28F400 in a PSOP 44pin package. This is an Intel flash chip with a 16 bit bus, which I thought might come in handy one day. I wouldn't be surprised if the pinout and package type matches, in which case I would be interested in having 4 of those boards for use with those chips.
nitro: Cool! I didn't know it would be possible to write to the flash from the console hardware.
YMDJ now has near complete PSG support and basic YM 2612 FM synth support added, as well as note previewing on the Note Entry screen. Development is progressing at a rapid pace. The next demo release is coming very soon.
