Well, you'd best take a shovel to my head.

My criticism: while this album has loads of awesome on the surface, frequent listening can and will ruin the experience for you. After listening to this for nearly a whole day I began to find some of the tracks to be increasingly unsatisfying. Eventually it got so bad I had to put on some prog-house, but when even that did not provide the relief I sought I turned to techno. This is the musical analogue of being driven to drink.

However, I do not have a clear and succinct reason for why I suddenly disliked the tunes, other than that I simply listened to them too much. Now, some music is actually good enough for an entire day of listening, just not this one.

All that being said, it is very very rare for me to come across a chiptune album that can even come close to this. Good work!

Blargg and I were on IRC today and have hashed out all the details and made them into a roadmap for the beta release. The hardware design is essentially locked in, barring any catastrophic issues. Blargg has begun what amounts to a core-rewrite to help get things more stable and properly modularized. The parts for the beta run have been ordered. Once the parts have arrived and the code has reached our benchmark the beta production run will roll out. I expect that the next few days will be fairly intense, but things are finally starting to come together a bit more.

Hmm, I'll need to give it a very much closer listen to make absolutely sure, but this album has a good deal of awesome on the surface. I'll report back after I've had a chance to immerse myself in it a bit more.

Yeah, that works because then if you overdraw the DC:DC it won't at least bomb out as soon as the batteries have a little voltage dip. I was just thinking, if you're making a new mobo for the DMG, it would be maybe a tad easier to deal with those issues. Again, all my suggestions are pretty much speculative and I'm just suggesting the way you'd do it for a really clean build that's probably totally overkill. Since we're in a thread about replacing the DMG mobo, I though it might as well throw it in there, since a new mobo is also probably overkill.

I agree with this, and also I would say that the only reason I can think of that Prosound actually does anything is because it bypasses some really crappy audio hardware. Unfortunately, most prosounds I have seen would also not have any shielding or filtering at all, so you'd still pick up noise from the surrounding address lines. Also, with the audio output basically connected directly to the CPU as many prosounds do, you're greatly increasing the risk of ESD damage to the CPU.

I would say the best sound quality on any gameboy, not just the DMG, would come from a combination of replacing the DC:DC converter with a better one, as well as bypassing the cruddy internal filter and amp circuit and instead running through a properly designed filter and op-amp.

I didn't actually manage to show every single feature of the firmware/PC side software in this last video because I was running short on time, so I am thinking of making another short one, maybe 1-2 mins, showing the recovery menu and a few more features of the PC side software that are rather cool, like remote game startup and SRAM backup/loading.

uB they do things like that together at work instead of being able to go home. Yeah, lets play games with my co-workers instead of being at home. They work their coders awfully hard, these sorts of things are supposed to help them be sane again.
