Will an everdrive work for lsdj these days? Or is it still multiple roms with 1 save each? If it does work, which version?

Hey. Did you install the blank .sav file as well as the pulsar Rom? It may need to be named pulsar.sav too.
And have the newest mappers from retro usb.

It never hurts to email the source and politely ask for some help. Most of "these people" are quite helpful. Probably whip one up, or something. Perhaps someone in the crowd has a spare they'd be willing to part with..?

Funny. I have not known many animals that like music that isn't chill out stuff, but I do know an 18 year old chihuahua that comes running to any upbeat, party music. She especially feels four on the floor stuff. Party animal.

Oh man! Now my interest is immense! It was like N64 music style wackiness and a life of substance abuse.
You just need some kind of sample sequencer and some ripped n64 samples. Figure out how to make your own samples that sound "that way." I hope this person is the next flavor of the month, cause I would LOVE to see this. Like pop culture randomness with someone vomiting "cuteness." Awesome.

Re: MSSIAH and SD2IEC in 2017 (10 replies, posted in Commodore Computers)
The sd2iec works with mssiah. You don't have to remove the cart to do anything. The d64 image is just a blank file on the sd2iec that messiah will save info to. D64 is like the format it's in (.mp3,.wav,.prg,.d64.) I know that I saved bassline patterns and I think I saved some drummer patterns. (I've been neglecting my c64 for a bit... Hard to remember.) I don't remember if I was saving synth sounds and patterns in sequencer.

The biggest difference is that mssiah is a DAW type of design and has a sampling app wrapped in soft synth/drum machine GUI. Where trackers all seem to look very similar and "matrixy" with long columns of letters and numbers scrolling. Mssiah is slow and clunky to use. Learning to use a tracker can be slow and clunky. More can be done with a tracker than with mssiah though. Mssiah uses the c64 to do what mssiah can do. Trackers are more "what all can the c64 sid chip do?" A cool thing to do with either if you are used to playing an instrument more than programming a computer to sound like an instrument playing, is to make several instrument sounds and switch between them for playing on keys. There is no easy way to do anything with an actual c64. Emulation is easy. The audio can be tapped from the back or internally. Most people add audio output(s). And if you don't want to learn to make an old machine make music by telling it what to do, just "fakebit" it up with samples and plug ins. You may even have more fun that way, and be more productive, and happier with what you make. Best thing is to try it all. Find what you like.

Just use a pc for starting out. Use a c64 emulator called vice. Load that and it makes your pc a commodore of several models. Then get software called sid wizard. It's a long ass way from lsdj, but you will figure it out. Then you export your songs as files that will play on actual hardware if you need it. There are several other c64 trackers. Also the program cynthcart lets you play the pc keys as a piano keyboard. It is quite limited, but fun, and if you use a looper pedal, track audio, or sample it, you can make some cool stuff.
The hardware approach has the same software with the addition of the messiah cart. It is cool. It is limited. You decide. Then you should get a SD2IEC. It is a hard drive that uses sd cards. Put your songs on one and play them on real sid chip(s). You may find use for a freeze/fastloader cart as well.

Bennvenn has El cheapo carts for $15. If his shop is sold out, email him.
Catskull has $20 carts that run lsdj.
Each one has its limits. Cheap though.

I went to Portland, Maine. Found a store called electric buddhas. They had an atari 800xl and a sega master system for sale.
Just in case anyone was looking for one they could check out in person.

I dig it. Maybe add an automatically starting next song function, instead of having to press play. I still like the cmo style, because of most recent at top, and search function, but this other way is really cool. Options are nice.
