Well I got mine of AliExpress and it APPEARS to be the same thing as what's in the HHL photos... Except HHL also have a PLASTIC adapter available to make installation easier (without it, alignment of the screen in the case is done by eye and it's held in with tape.)

You'll likely get better support from HHL if you end up needing it.
But for me, the cost of shipping to New Zealand from anywhere but China was gonna be waaaaay too expensive.

I have an IPSv3 in my DMG and love it so much!

I do feel that it adds a little hiss to the headphones though... It's volume independent though so I'm guessing it's power-supply noise getting into the headphone amp and wouldn't appear on the prosound smile

Hi, Welcome!

I can't really help you with chipbreak stuff but I enjoyed listening to your music smile
I particularly liked the panning thing you did in RUFF. I like that kinda stuff.

For what it's worth... quite a few of the chipmusic people I've met IRL have little to no online presence at all...

Thanks for the info Corthax. I'll do some digging and see what I can find.
I may have this wrong, but I'm pretty sure the SRAM and ROM share the same 4Mbits of address space on the Genesis right?
If so..  in theory, would it be possible to make the tracker run on a custom cart with say... 2Mbit sram? Could be worth it for the extra space smile

If there is not enough built-in SRAM (it's used as RAM), and it's not allowed to write it in 16-bit mode (both odd and even bytes), then rom will not work, or will display garbage data. Or crash smile

So... being cheap and not wanting to fork out the cash for an Everdrive x7, I'm wondering if something like this could work?

It supports a 256k sram chip... but looking at it (https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/ … ND/4234592) it is listed as an 8-bit sram...

Sorry if this is a silly question, but when you say "allowed to write it in 16-bit mode, does that mean the cart needs 16-bit sram? (presumably we're talking one with a hi-byte/low-byte write pin(s)??)

Okay. Sounds fun.

I have no idea how it would work but if you make something I'd give it a go.

Are you happy where it finishes? or are you looking for ideas to extend it more?

This happened to me too... I don't think it can be saved sad
