Feel free to post stuff you find here. I'm interested in finding new stuff too.

I was saddened to hear about nonfinite (Anthony's) passing. Like many of us, I got my first backlight kit from them in ~2009. One time I bought a domain name to rickroll them. I was able to meet and see them perform at Little Sound Assembly 2017 (absolutely check out the compo) and they were such a genuine, friendly, and kind person.

Post any positive memories you have of nonfinite!

If you want a trip down memory lane here's their profile with all their posts and music on this site: https://chipmusic.org/nonfinite

Jose was involved with next thing co since its inception. Fwiw I had both the standalone chip and the pocket chip at some point, I don't know if I got them from next thing co or from someone on here.

It seems like they went out of business for normal reasons in a slightly shady way, and then Jose bought the assets and tried to continue on moving to China and taking preorders for nonexistent products.

I guess I'm just old but wild to see the same old same old all these years later.

First thing is I'd not use that branch, I actually didn't even realize that existed. You might have to install the PS2 library but I'd say run the latest code!

Cool! I'd be happy to test it, but I live in Sweden.

I'm the author of defMON though, so perhaps that could help in case some bug fixing would turn out to be needed.

What is needed to reflash? Usb-c cable and the arduino IDE, or something else?

I'll DM you! Refreshing won't be easy, you need an avr ISP programmer and a little adapter jig I use or to solder some wires to some pads. Earlier I thought reflashing with Arduino IDE would be possible but realize now that it won't.

Here's the interface:

I'm working on the code (porting to Arduino/MiniCore). Source available here: https://github.com/catskull/defmon-sync

I have a c64 but not a working defmon setup. Anyone up for testing? I can send you an interface for free. Ideally US based and technical enough to reflash the board.

I would highly recommend just grabbing an emulator (BGB works well on windows, sameboy also works good) and a copy of the LSDJ rom for free before you spend a penny. Absolutely no reason to spend money on it until you know why you'd need it!

Unless the goal is to buy some gear with is a whole hobby in itself big_smile

Have you tried emailing oliver at [email protected]? I'd also recommend signing up for email notifications for restocks.

I think we'll go ahead and get some modern interface put together. Should be small and about the same price as scannerboy used to sell them for. I'll update here with any news!

Always love a nice 2xDMG track. Enjoyed this!

I know the code uses libftdi to do some stuff beyond just usb-serial, so there's probably some black magic in there somewhere.
