What cool is that the carts are re-flashable with a programmer such as altane, bennvenn, or the Reiner Zeigler ones.

Does that also include the Smart Boy flasher? I *think* it's a Reiner Zeigler based one.

Sorry, I missed this somehow. Yeah AFAIK the smartboy is the polish student design. So yeah, it should work fine. You never know though!

Just an update on this:

The first batch of boards has been ordered. Testing will commence when they arrive (hopefully within a week or two). If that goes well, they should be for sale by the end of next month!

Oh I didn't mean is there a demand, I meant why is there a demand.

Can I plug github? It would be a great place to host important docs. If you stop paying the hosting bill, it will still be there. You can even host a static website from a github repo. I also have web experience and can help you get something together. Feel free to PM me. I mean, I made this: http://catskull.net/GB-Logo-Generator/

Started selling arduinoboys on my website. Got a handful of other products in the works. Still haven't completed a song. Also had a kid. Also changed jobs. Not interested in php but web development is my day job. Most of the time I feel like an idiot and want to quit.

So, what do you use for dev? Just curious. I'm learning PHP, but also simultaneously learning how to use the Laravel framework because I have an offer with a company if I can learn it. tongue So yeah, I feel ya on the stupid-code-monkey front. But I've also found in life that jumping in at the deep end, while somewhat frustrating, does usually reap many benefits in the end.

I did rails full time for a year or so. Right now it's Java with a cocktail of JavaScript stuff. I mean technically my thing right now is an indefinite paid internship, which basically gives me low productivity expectations and tons of schedule flexibility in exhanche for benefits like insurance. I did some hardware stuff with the xbee radios for a while there, which was fun. I'd kind of like to get back into hardware but it may just be a hobby which is why the little shop has been so fun.

It would be possible to hack the Aboy code to change MIDI channels via CC commands from the Gameboy.

That's a great idea! Would that interfere with other cc commands though? I mean you'd basically need 16 unique cc commands right?

Huh, how interesting. Would a simple channel re-assigner/midi through box be useful? Like one input, 4 outputs with the ability to adjust which channels the through goes to on the fly.

Are there not simple midi channel re mappers to adjust channels on the fly?

I could modify the Arduinoboy code for you to output on channel 10... Or is that what you're asking?

One thing I like to do is just make the song on LSDJ, then send relative midi notes so I get a doubled up sound. Ghetto, but I like how it sounds!

Also I can't not plug my affordable Arduinoboy. Check out shop.catskull.net!

Not going to lie, I'm a little bummed about rose colored gaming. Thought at least he's not charging $30 for your DMG shells.

I'd love to see your stuff open sourced, if nothing else just to look at it and learn.

Really, what will it take to get production runs of ALTANE and the fightercart? Do you have any plans on open sourcing the MBC5 clone code?

snes trackers

I don't really know, but what's the demand for an SNES tracker? Aren't they all sample based anyways? Seems like you'd just pick up piggy and call it a day.

Don't forget that you need the patched version of LSDJ that does midi out

Speak for yourself. I, for one, am jealous.
