What's funny is that you're not really supposed to upload WIP tracks. Though I'm guilty of that.

Re: Commodore 64 Cartridge Measurements (23 replies, posted in Commodore Computers)
I'm all for DIY but just wanted to make sure everyone knows plenty of these are available (other colors as well): http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Commodore-6 … 25a5ff8acf
I have one and quality is pretty nice, good texture and feels solid.
I'd kind of be interested in making up some PCB's that are as short as possible (maybe even designed to be left in the console). They would just have the edge connector and eprom socket. Would there be any interest in that?

Oh that's so rad. I can't wait to see how he did it. I wonder where the third arduino comes in though?

Rarely. Really only if something catches my eye, has a high rating, or an artist is familiar. Seems like half the time it's just bit rave fruity loops though.

Is that mbc5 is harvested right? Great for a cheap kit but notass production. I winder how that compares to the fighter cart. I should bust mine open and compare ic numbers. Great work though! How much would you estimate the materials cost you?

NeX actually did this a few years back. http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/3205/ … pro-sound/
Overall though, I like yours much better. Can you link to the specific bluetooth module you used?

1) Why not just post every auction in the same thread? It will bump it to the top and you'll get the exact same amount of publicity from it.
2) Your link doesn't work.
3) Titles should be descriptive.

Re: What NES/famicom system is best? (11 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)
I should update, I ended up going with the AV famicom. I also got a cheap tomee nes -> famicom adapter, which seems to work great. I have tested it with Star Versus which uses Bastly Adams' flash cart. It does not seem to work with my Infinite NES Lives SxROM Pulsar cart unfortunately. Not sure what's going on there.

Toploader Famicom w/ NES -> famicom converter.
A/V out goodness.
That's what I think I've decided on. Seems to be the best out the box. Can you confirm what power it needs? Is it just 9v DC like the frontloader NES?
Also, what NES -> famicom converter do you use? Does it work pretty well? Any issues or anything?

Re: What NES/famicom system is best? (11 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)
Thanks for all the input! The super8 would be great, but way out of my price range.
I should have clarified. I'm not really looking for a clone system.
I meant out of the 4(5?) official releases, which is the best?
The famicom looks great and cheap, but it only does rf out? Is it pretty simple to add component? Also, I'd have to get an adapter to play nes games. Seems like those are a lot easier to get ahold of than 60 to 72 pin adapters.
The front loader NES is nice, but the 72 pin can be funky and playing famicom carts isn't the easiest. Also no expansion audio out of the box.
The top loader NES looks cool, but only rf out. Again, this can be modded for component but you still have all the limitations of the front loader.
The AV famicom looks to be the best. Expansion audio, component out, everything.
The twin famicom looks okay, but expensive and overkill for me. I don't really plan on playing any FDS games.
Anything I'm missing here?

Topic: What NES/famicom system is best? (11 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)
I'm looking at setting up a one-stop solution for all my NES/famicom gaming needs.
I'm mostly looking at an AV famicom. Will that work fine here in the US? There seems to be readily available 72 to 60 pin adapters out there, do those work well with this?
Any other tips you would have for me?

That's clearly a stock DMG and everyone knows it's impossible to do any LSDJ work unless your DMG is customized.

Re: Anyone with experience using those cheap 4.3" tft lcds? (15 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
Just an update on this, I opened it up and the board looks to be different that other's I've seen floating around. It looks like the buck converter outputs 3.3v not 5v as others have shown. So that would make sense why other's work fine on an NES.
The ebay seller issued me a refund, so that's cool.
I've ordered another one from amazon that seems to be 5v compatible.
