This album is super good and I'm not sure I've heard chiptune that sounded quite like it before.

I don't think this is necessarily true, especially considering the Analogue Pocket will have striaght-up Nanoloop 2 built in. I also think something like the Mega Sg is a great way to get a quality Sega Genesis with 3.5mm audio out without fighting a bunch of scammy eBay sellers and digging through the 10 revisions of the console to get the one with the good sound chips.

Analogue has been around for the better part of the last decade, you can find that out with a rudimentary google search. They have released FPGA based NES, SNES, Genesis. This is simply a special edition of the Genesis console (Mega Sg). They are based in Portland, Oregon, USA and Shenzhen, China.
Apparently the cartridge isn't actually using the YM2149 chip, just streaming compressed audio. Still cool, but could have been cooler. I ordered one because I'm intrigued with the cartridge!

Re: Arduinoboy powered by link cable GBA/MGB-004 (6 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Yep, I know for a fact that all GBAs have power on the link port, I use it for the GBA Midi Synth: https://catskullelectronics.com/gbamidi
But yeah some link cables are wired funky which is why I include one in that bundle.

All of the aftermarket GBC link cables I have seen have the power line connected but it connects to SD on the other side. So if you cut a link cable, you can wire in the power lead.
I'm not sure about the MGB-004 adapter but I'd guess it will work (in fact I swear I've tested it and confirmed that). A quick test with a multimeter should confirm it pretty quick though!

You'd be way way better off with new hardware if all you need to do is convert din midi to the controller port. It would be way cheaper too!

Re: Replacement DMG Regulator Board Open Discussion [WIP] (7 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
uXe is the only person I've seen make a "modern" power supply, though it's different than what you're doing here. Here's his documentation: https://community.arduboy.com/t/arduboy-classic/293
Somewhere there he says that running lower than -18v results in better contrast??? So You should play with that to see what the best voltage is.

This is super cool! The music is great and I'm really happy to see the few extra songs. Also the mapper is implemented in discrete logic which is awesome and I'm not sure if I've ever seen it before! Here's the PCB for those curious:
And it has a custom super gameboy border!
Clearly nitro2k01 has done a fantastic job here, the whole team should be really proud!

Ordered! One note, prices are displayed in CAD not USD so it's a fair bit cheaper than it initially looks!

When I try to favorite a song, I get this error in the JS console:
Couldn't update favorites in Firebase. FirebaseError: No document to update: projects/chip-player-js/databases/(default)/documents/users/kJumfDcQrSY56mmLhALymdrKH3G277 Sep 16, 2019 4:35 pm
Re: Chip Player JS web player for chiptune music formats (15 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I was checking this out last night, this is awesome. Really impressive! I probably will be using this a lot at work.
Is the UI just home made by you, or is there some amazing CSS framework I need to be aware of?
One minor bug, if you scroll fast while a song is playing the audio sutters/jumps.
EDIT: another thing I would love is radio stations. Currently I listen to http://snesguide.com/ radio. Even if it was just a playlist of songs by console or something.

Just thought I'd post here to say that I've got a handful of these available if anyone is interested. $40 and comes with an 8GB SD card preflashed with the custom firmware and piggy tracker. If you're interested just email [email protected].

Yep, you have to pop out the sd card to transfer stuff. USB is charging only. Sounds like they're exploring enabling it for data transfer.
