Was I at least nominated? ;_;

Not on that category.

Thanks for the guide.

The keyboard I bought had the following wires: Red, White, Green, Blue
I connected them to the DMG-07 cable as follows, based on some stuff I read online:

Keyboard =====DMG
Red -     +5V     - Brown
White -  Data    -  Yellow
Green - Clock   -  Green
Blue -  Ground  -  Blue

Uhm, cable colour is not a standard to follow. You should have probed the pins in the connector to see where they led.
You are obviously plugging something where you shouldn't, probably the +5V line.

Wait until it gets packed. It's only natural.

What can you expect? It's a clothing launch. This is UK hairtune at its best.
No offense, JHT. Not your fault.

Pause was really good, and it was hard to overlook their 13(!) releases. I hope people realize that everyone is a winner in my book

I am a witness that at a moment, the word around here was "Pause is gonna win this year again". I'd say all nominees are winners too.

For people who promote chip music outside of the scene, introducing more people to chip music from the remainder of uninformed population. 2pp would be a good example. smile

There's too many versions and hacks of Protracker, I honestly never paid attention.

In my opinion, the increased component cost and the doubtful benefit of the NVRAM makes me wonder if it was a wise decision to go for this new design. Especially since the battery holder makes it so easy to swap the battery.

Sounds like this is a lot more fail from the scammer that brought us the stealcart xD

Most trackers will be compatible with WB1.3. Actually, I can tell you the ones that don't: AHX, MusicLine and maybe DigiBooster Pro. The rest should be fine.

You can't show "hidden" files in WB1.3, you will need to use the shell to access files that have no icon. There might be an extension to do this but I am not sure.

Some pics:

I could have faked it, by using similar pixel aspect ratio (I can post a version, it looks fun big_smile), but it's pointless if you can't run it in real hardware. I did try to convert this to a C64 executable but as I said, it didn't work. Then again maybe my program is faulty. I'll ask Sander about this.

Do you perchance sell them separately?

EmThree, the challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to create a rendition of KEYBOARD CAT, using a 16 colour palette (defined by yourself). I would like you to implement antialiasing, so be wary with those colours you define smile

It should rock with your style big_smile

I finished yesterday, in time for the original date, but I was sleepy and couldn't be arsed to upload big_smile

Thanks for not imposing over me a particular C64 mode limitation, ant1, that would have made things harder. I tried to convert the pic to C64 IFLI but the program export didn't work (I gotta check about that).

So enjoy the original version, pixelled in DeluxePaint IV in my A1200, 320x200, 16 colours (palette has a couple more but that's residue from my "powerlines", you can effectively reduce the palette to 16 without a glitch).

*REMOVED*

(SABE is my graffiti wannabe handle xD)

Antialiasing is hard with C64 palettes and the wall is specially crap, but making a brick background looked even worse. Excuse the lameness of this piece.


Oh, next challenge. Let me see, do I have to follow order of people signups? Seems like not. OK let me think.

What games you got for the Neopoke?

I will let the C-Men chip in with advice, but that sounds like a good machine.
