Just a couple of random question on the pocket Vblank, I was thinking about modifying it slightly in a couple of different ways.

1 - Rehousing

I assume in theory, it would be possible for me to make a little box and buy a couple of easily mountable switches and knobs and wire them to the relevant contacts on the PCB? Assuming it is possible, the 2 little red switches I would guess are momentary switches usually in the "on" position? (yeah I have virtually no idea about electronics). Also the twisty knob I guess is a potentiometer? What number potentiometer would I need? I THINK it says 5KD but I am not sure.

2 - Bending

Would it be possible to try bending the PVB as one would a NES? I assume probe the PCB looking for interesting wierdness?

Lastly, random question, was the visual aesthetic influenced at all by the Atari Video Music thing?

Something which I find a little odd is that so few people use Kunaki. A quick summary of the service

- You upload music and artwork to Kunaki
- people buy your CD for what ever price you choose
- Kunaki charge you 1 dollar for ever CD sold which they deduct from the sale price
- Kunaki send you money every month if you sell cds

The way I see it, no netlabel or artist is likely to get rich form chip music but everyone seems to be ignoring a potential way to make money here. A couple of principles.

1 - If you have CDs available people might not but them but if you don't have any CDs available people certainly wont buy them.

2 - You are might not sell large numbers of an individual CD but a label with 50 releases might sell a copy or two of each release now and again. If you have wide range of CDs at 5 bucks a CD for example in 1 year you might sell 2 copies of each of your 50 releases, thats 500 bucks!

Stuff you could do with the money.

- Advertise your label on somewhere like penny arcade or kotaku for a day or two

- Put on a local show

- Fly in an international or two

- Send one of your artists abroad

- Hire a professional to video one of your gigs

Not something anyone has to do of course but I think it has a fair amount of potential. Are people not doing it cause its a pain in the arse to upload? because they had bad experiences with the service? they didnt know about it?

I know for example HHH has a few releases on the service.
