You're taking this very well reborn, and for that you need to be commended!

Keep working hard, I'm sure you'll continue to get better and better.

Wow three pages of ranting caused by my comments. That's a new record for this place. smile

But seriously, go, make money. I just find it quite amusing the way that a big media company often chooses to cover little trends etc. And those comments about Wired do reflect my distrust of corporate America, of course, but also the kind of perverse amusement I get from their blundering.

So, sorry if I am messing things up or upsetting people, but I hardly expect everyone to agree with me. My views are often controversial.

Or, in teh internets speek: DONt feed Teh TROLLS!

Did waiting a month kill all possible interest? If nobody wants 'em I can change spec. to make them cheaper or i can just scrap the project.

And I would guess, because GP2X is stupidly expensive compared to the Dingoo. They sell very high on ePay right now, if you hadn't checked.

I'm almost sorry for the comments I made earlier. Almost. big_smile

I think I do agree with Akira pretty strongly though. This thread has gotten some very interesting and intelligent conversation going on.

You should have made him also be holding a hot dog in his right hand too, but that's OK.

Pro-tip for DIY shirt-makers:
Make sure the one you pick out is an ADULT size. I have 3 children's smalls, 2 mediums and 5 larges.
I even ended up with a few fitted shirts.

I can not stress it enough, I fucked myself out of a good +$25 on sizes that's belly shirt material.


I won't hijack your thread, I promise.

If you have kids sized ovenrake shirts then you should sell them for kids. smile I'm sure there are some chiptune-lovin' dads who'd get some for their kids to wear.

Hey, if you want a serial on your Dingoo, look here:

EDIT: that's just how to add the port, now LGPT has to get programmed to actually use it. Also, serial to midi could be tricky, but it could be done. The only issue is how to take control of those TX and RX lines. That would require some Kernel hacking, I would think.

Thanx!

The arcade chip info was only in the wendy carlos interview in keyboard magazine. I sent an email to wendy and somebody from her team said chip sounds off an arcade machine were not made by wendy and they were not used in the actual score but only the fx tracks for the film. The person also stated, "The sounds possible from video game chips would have been anathema to the quality of the music and no consideration was ever given to such use"

Not surprising, given the time period. Most pro musicians I have met (other than electronic musicians) still find electronic generated sounds anathema. (people in the classical and jazz world mostly, fyi)

Yes, seeing as it's a video projector and so seeing a video would be... uh... good?

Well, as for doing a projection with a gameboy, that's going to be very tricky. I would use either a Gameboy Pocket or a Gameboy SP AGS-101. See, the deal is that except for the AGS-101, all gameboys have ribbon cables going behind the screen, which requires that they be desoldered and moved. Something I have never done successfully or seen done by anyone else.

And I don't have any spare gameboys right now. Not that I'm willing to cut up, that is. My GB pocket is precious to me, what with the working homemade backlight which was a total PAIN to get in there. Projected DMG would look like garbage since it's got tons of ghosting problems and would make the image far too dark.

Also, I'm changing screens for one that will be easier to hack up and has slightly better specs:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi … ink:top:en

This one, unlike that Audiovox, isn't refurbed. Resolution is supposedly 480x234, which is... not exactly standard resolution. Picture quality will not be very high, but this is supposed to be a super cheap projector project. It'll be good enough for the NES, which is what it's for.

EDIT: found a lovely bunch of pictures of the insides of this screen, courtesy of the guys over at BenHeck forums:

Looks quite dandy, should work perfectly for my use.

That is fabulous Bibin. Fabulous. You didn't demo the charger though, which was kinda sad not to see, but still, that rocks.
