I have tested it on SEGA Nomad via an SMS converter and a SEGA Genesis 1 via an SMS converter.

I'm into the pre-programmed AVR. I think this is a great compromise and everybody gets what they want.

What would people want / need apart from the pre-programmed AVR?

i'm sure we can work something out though...

Hey Seb, I've just ordered a second one.  The first is still in the post, but I'm sure it'll arrive any day now. 

I know you've been using the teensy for the usb interface.  I dont have any experience with it myself but I'm using the arduino and mbed microcontrollers alot so I should be able to pick it up.  Just wondering how you feel about me modding the hardware and/or code?  Not for resale of course, and anything I did that was fully functional I would make available to everyone else.  I'm just hoping to fit a 5 pin din midi in, as i am MPC and HW synths only when I play live


to be honest, i'm not willing to part with the code just yet.

simply because many people have ordered units and i wouldn't want to disappoint them by allowing the code to escape into the wild. if that makes sense. i hope it makes sense. im not trying to be an arsehole or anything. :S

Back when it was called "GEN/MD-M" lol

FYI i have about five or so PCBs left.

One of them will have to go to Paul Slocum.

lol you guys.

i won that race years ago with genmdm v1.0

here's one i pulled out of the cupboard just now:

not sure how we can go about distribution though... difference PCB etc...

?

Yep! I'd say so; I havent tested it yet though.

It works for Game Gear, too.

Tutorial is here: http://little-scale.blogspot.com.au/201 … -gear.html

I am not sure. :\

Overview
This post marks the release of the SEGA Master System MIDI Interface (SMSM) device.

SMSM is an interface that takes MIDI data and controls the sound chip inside of the SEGA Master System in real time. The idea is to send MIDI data to the SEGA Master System using a MIDI sequencer or MIDI keyboard via the SMSM, which then sends the appropriate audio signal out of the console via its AV port or a direct output port.

So for example, if a MIDI note C is sent to the SMSM, then the SEGA sound chip will play a tone with pitch of a C. The PSG SN76489 sound chip is supported as well as the FM YM2413 sound chip (which is found in Japanese models of SEGA Mater System).

----- TUTORIALS AND INFORMATION -----

It should be easy to make an SMSM following these straightforward instructions:
- SMSM with Serial Input: http://little-scale.blogspot.com.au/201 … -midi.html
- SMSM for Game Gear: http://little-scale.blogspot.com.au/201 … -gear.html
- SMSM with Native 5 Pin DIN MIDI Socket: http://little-scale.blogspot.com.au/201 … n-din.html
- SMSM with Default NSTC Modification: http://little-scale.blogspot.com.au/201 … ation.html

There are a number of additions I am looking at including with firmware 101, including the above.

All current v100 firmware GenMDMs will be upgradeable via USB free of charge of course.
