I think it's best to clarify what they don't come with.

SRAM - no saving
a mapper - only 32k roms work. So basically tetris (and the ones I mentioned above). I have a nice list of compatible roms that you could choose to flash on it.
Anything else fancy.

The price includes a shell but not shipping. No sticker either (what do you think i'm going to spend all that time making labels for all the random roms out there!?!) An mGB sticker might be in the future, but not likely.

Shipping will probably be like $3 in the US. So if you order like 5 carts, it's still just $3.

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

Thats a bummer, but thanks.    Im sure there is good reason, but why doesnt MidiOut spit out clock ticks?  Seems like it would be really...   What is this line doing?:

while(1){
     if(getIncommingSlaveByte()) {
        if(incomingMidiByte > 0x6f) {
          switch(incomingMidiByte)
          {
           case 0x7F: //clock tick
             Serial.write(0xF8);


...isnt it writing a midi clock tick for every LSDJ tick?

That does appear to be sending a midi clock, but I have no idea what's going on with that code. Maybe we could pray to trash80 and he'd clarify it?

Are you talking about the red power indicator led? It's 3mm

I just noticed the other day that the kerberos cart stuff is all open source. So crowdfunded production runs might not be out of the question. Is it worth it though?

Psh I know for a fact the egyptians used rectangular shapes wink

All I'm saying is I'd buy ASM stuff if I could.

Powerpak is gone!

Good grief! maybe try closing all of your crap? I mean illustrator, is that really essential to your live set? I'm running BGB and don't see any of the lag you're talking about. I'm on El Capitan, Late 2013 MBPr, 2.4 GHz Core i5 (dual core), 8 GB ram. Nothing special at all.

EDIT: I can get a split second hiccup if I cold start intensive programs. I recommend you CMD+Q all the extra crap you're running and only have the few emulators you actually need running. Clicking the red X in the top left of a program doesn't actually close it, not sure if you were aware of that.

Link?

Thanks Peter, that's useful! So with that, do you use LIVE MAP mode or MIDI OUT mode? Sorry if that's a dumb question, I just have never had any issues with midi out at all.

Plus, you get Youtube Red for free with Google Play Music Unlimited. Combine those together and I think the value is much higher than any other streaming service. I actually watch Youtube a lot, regularly from channels I subscribe to and it's nice to be able to support them without having to see ads. Plus, GPMU lets you upload your own music for free, which I don't think any other streaming services allow.

I know this isn't supposed to be a "what streaming service is best" thread, but dismissing Youtube Red like that really doesn't make sense.

For a class I have to make a little booklet in inDesign. I thought it would be nice to have a little instruction manual to go along with all the kits I sell.

The problem is that the documentation available isn't super amazing. A lot of the modes I can't really test either.

I was wondering if people have experience using different modes, they could post a little info on how to set it up and any tips and tricks you might have.

All the work I've done with it is released under the same license that the original code was released under (GPLv2). This document would be released under the same license.

Here's a copy of the documentation Trash80 originally wrote:
- Affordable and easily accessible parts for assembly.
- Accurate MIDI Sync, Start and Stop commands.
- Push Button to select the sync/state mode (7 modes available)
- LSDJ as MIDI Slave Sync with sync effects and midi note transport control. Also Note value to LSDJ song position row offset on Song Start.
- LSDJ as MIDI Master Sync. Send Midi sync with LSDJ, LSDJ also sends a Midi Note on message that corresponds to the song row number
- LSDJ PC Keyboard mode. with the first octave controlling M-U-T-E, Cursor control (LSDJ Live mode only), Table selection and table cue.
- MIDI to Nanoloop sync
- Full MIDI with mGB (Details below)
- LSDJ LIVE MAP ... incoming MIDI notes cue LSDJ row numbers, requires custom LSDJ version on the LSDJ site.
- LSDJ MIDIOUT ... sends MIDI out from LSDJ, requires custom LSDJ version on the LSDJ site.
- Midi Out Doubles as a Midi Thru
- "Filtering" data for only sync messages, no dedicated MIDI line required.
- Tested and works with DMG (Original), Gameboy Color, and Advance/SP.
- Can be powered by the gamelink port.
- USB upgradeable via Arduino.
- mGB Cartridge Mode: Full MIDI in support across all Gameboy Channels, including a unique "poly" mode. Tested and works with DMG01, GBC, GBA, GB AdvanceSP

There's only like 4 wires right? I'd just hook them up random until it works. GND and PWR should be pretty easy to determine because the caps lock lights should turn on, right?

How much do I have to pledge for FaMI?

Great work, I've been following this for awhile. Great use of the zapper too!

Thanks! It's in the mail!

Just a note for everyone, I added an additional mode for the PS/2 jack. The arduino itself doesn't have to do anything with it, so the mode simply turns everything off so the arduino doesn't interfere. After the two LED flash for Live Map mode, it does a three LED flash for PS/2 mode. Sorry if that's confusing, let me know if you have any questions!
