Looking at the prototype pages for TSUNDERE, I found this:

It appears to be a cartridge prototype made by the designer, though I am not sure if it's the final design at all. I am very curious about it, because there are no ROMs on board. Did you use that cartridge for development? If so, how did it work? I notice that there are no CHR lines hooked up on the 72-pin connector, and with no spot for any kind of ROM were you just feeding it data from an Arduino perhaps?

23 bytes. Astounding as usual 4mat. Just awesome.

Not a bad idea, but do you want hardware with no software?

Yup, everything is done, but I have a dilemma.

I haven't been able to get hold of Blargg for a couple of weeks now.

This is bad news, because the software has not been packaged for release and has no accompanying license. While I am fairly sure he'll opt for a GPL license, I have no way of being sure without asking him, which I haven't been able to do. I am loathe to release the fruit of his hard work without a license, since it's his work and I believe he deserves to choose how he wants to license it before release. Without his consent I really don't feel right about releasing this.

This has happened before. Blargg is a very private individual and sometimes he just needs to disappear for a while. I hope he'll resurface soon.

I suspect that at least part of the problem is that the DMG, while it was a big seller, did not sell very well in some countries. Perhaps Canada is one of those places that didn't have alot of DMG sales? I suspect that GBC and GBA have sold way more units than the DMG.

DROOOOOOOL. Oh, and BTW, heard about this on the Hardcore Gaming 101 site and loved the concept.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess my puzzlement comes from my viewpoint. I'm not really a musician, and electronics basically is what I spend my time on. When I'm working on my "trade" I can usually justify the purchase of expensive tools because I'm experienced enough to know they'll be helpful, and that a few jobs can usually offset the cost if I'm careful. Also, people who have had me do work for them know that when I was unemployed I valued labor far too low, since I had nothing but free time. I have been trying, since I got my most recent job, to re-evaluate how things like electronics work is going to happen for me, and if I continue to do it, how much I'll have to charge.\

In such a competitive and consumeristic world, it's nice to know people still value skilled labor, even if it continues to baffle me.
