What about the retron sq? Does it works too with ems64 and insidegadget cartridges? I saw that retron sq can't save on the cartridge. Only on the box... Is it the same with the retron 5?

Topic: Nintendo ds rom : launchpad, pseudo synth, tracker - my ugly ZhootPad (2 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Hello,
(the rom is at the bottom, I write too much)
I made a few years ago a rom for the ds. I share it with you, I didn't do it before because it's not finished at all, a little bugy (it don't crash but there are problems on screen display sometimes but by switching screen you can normally remove these problems). And I thought I would come back coding it for better looking and less bugs before share but finally I don't know if I will come back to it some day.
Maybe the next thing I will do will be more something on the gba. I started also a tracker on raspberry pi but I think it's stopped too for now.
So instead of waiting years for a finishing which will probably never come, here it is.
At first it was suposed to be just a launchpad, but I always wanted more and more and now there is too much things and I think it's hard to understand what's going on but with a little practise you can make fun things.
It is completly ugly as when I did that I just didn't care about the graphical aspect and I didn't know how make it beautiful.
It is only sample based. No real synthesis because I didn't know how do it. Samples things was easyer to code.
- launchpad with some fx (you press buttons, it make sounds)
- rythm on playback
- synth based on samples (you have something "close" to a music keybaord with all the keys of the nds) with some arpegiators modes
- tracker with only 2 channels (others don't work) and only one page, more fore live things. You can change the notes of all synths in the tracker by pressing the nds buttons. This was inspired from Rythm Core Alpha 2. The play of the tracker is not very fluid sometimes.
- sync mode : it convert the nds into mono and use one of the channel for sync. I tested sync with lsdj it worked but with the tracker it's a little crazy. But sync mode works very good with synth mode according to the arpegiator when you press a button.
You need use a Y cable for use sync mode (male minijack to 2 female minijack) one is for sound and the other goes for example in a volca.
Maybe one day I will resolve the bugs and a better display for understanding what's going on.
I made some vidéos for show what you can do with it :
- Changing the tracker notes like on Rythm Core Alpha 2 :

- Sync mode on the arpegiator (with volca modular and volca beats) :

Topic: Use lsdj midimap mode with DMG-01 -> cables problems (0 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Hello,
I'm having problems when trying to use lsdj midimap with dmg-01, it doesnt work or work for 1 or 2 seconds then stop.
With gameboy advance, it works perfectly, maybe because i use a black gamelink color/gba to color/gba :
which seems to work better than this one : 
?
Do you have problems with these cables (like the green one)?
Or maybe my problem is because I have modded them (the ones like the green)? One of the 4 extremity is a minijack, for use analog sync (which works great with gbc/gba and dmg-01). The black gba/color cable I have isn't modded.
The midimap problem is present with the 2 modded cables I have which are like the green one.
Does this can also be caused because arduinoboy gamelink port is the one for color/gba ?
EDIT : after more tests it appears that it's not related to cables, these green cables work good if I use gameboy advance, but not dmg-01. But I don't think this dmg-01 unit have a problem because it can send midiout and do analog sync without any problems...

Re: Error arduinoboy : "PS2Keyboard.h: No such file or directory" (1 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I found how to resolve it :
- create a folder in the library and name it PS2Keyboard and place the the ps2 library files here. (I first placed it directly in library folder which didn't work).
- replace the line with include "utility/int_pins.h" in PS2Keyboard.h by include "int_pins.h"
- I had also to add a whitespace somewhere, arduino console explained where.
I don't know if I have to do these modifications because i'm on linux or not but if not I explained that to Catskull

Hello,
When I try to update the code of my arduinoboy (an old one from catskull) with arduino IDE, I have this error :
"PS2Keyboard.h: No such file or directory"
I installed the libraries relate to PS2 but it change nothing. I'm on linux so I placed the library in /home/me/snap/arduino on this folder I have 2 folders named : 41 and 50. I placed the PS2 library on both but nothing changed
I need to update arduinoboy code because times ago I replaced it with arduinoboy Lite code which had advantages. But now I have arduinoboy Lite and need again the normal code of arduinoboy
Thank's

Re: Gamecube ???? (8 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)
I use gamecube + gameboy player with arduinoboy Lite. For me it's the gamecube which control other hardware with midi. But the reverse should work great, i have gba midi synth I can test it with it (never tested yet)
I also never found mods for it but the sound is great, I replaced the yellow red white gamecube cable with a new that and after that it was better I had problems with my old one coming from childhood.
I use lsdj arduinoboy v6, on newest I can't save from project screen. The creator of lsdj said about that that it has to come from my gamecube but I don't know other people who tested it with other gamecube for be sure

Re: mapping.xml on gp2x f100 [Resolved] (4 replies, posted in LittleGPTracker)
Hello BLEO,
Aouch, yea I should read better the documentation... I was confused because I used only mapping.xml until now and it worked good on raspberry pi with controller, and with a pi boy (raspberry pi inside gameboy shell) with the built in buttons! But because it is a raspberry pi inside, it certainly think that the button on the pi boy are an external controller.
I will test with config.xml and say, thank you! :-)

Re: mapping.xml on gp2x f100 [Resolved] (4 replies, posted in LittleGPTracker)
I found the gp2x mapping here :
https://wiki.littlegptracker.com/doku.p … pt:mapping
so I did that :
<MAPPINGS>
<MAP src="but:0:12" dst="/event/b" />
<MAP src="but:0:15" dst="/event/a" />
<MAP src="but:0:14" dst="/event/b" />
<MAP src="but:0:13" dst="/event/a" />
</MAPPINGS>
But it don't work, it do changes but it is acting very weird, it's like lgpt changes his principal commands in same time (for exemple one button can erase, normally you have to press A+B for that...) maybe the guy who sold me the gp2x with midi interface has an other custom mapping somewhere (I can't see it). I will ask to him

Topic: mapping.xml on gp2x f100 [Resolved] (4 replies, posted in LittleGPTracker)
Hello,
I finally got a gp2x (f100) with midi interface. But I found the mapping keys completly garbage. A and B are at the opposite...
Do you know how to map it with config.xml? For have A on Right, close to B on Left like on the DMG-01 and all gameboys and like on sness controllers.
I already tested all these :
<MAP src="but:0:11" dst="/event/a" />
<MAP src="but:0:12" dst="/event/a" />
<MAP src="but:0:14" dst="/event/a" />
<MAP src="but:0:13" dst="/event/b" />
<MAP src="but:0:15" dst="/event/a" />
<MAP src="but:0:16" dst="/event/a" />
<MAP src="but:0:12" dst="/event/a" />
<MAP src="but:0:14" dst="/event/b" />
<MAP src="but:0:13" dst="/event/a" />
<MAP src="but:0:15" dst="/event/a" />
<MAP src="but:0:16" dst="/event/a" />
<MAP src="but:0:12" dst="/event/b" />
<MAP src="but:0:14" dst="/event/a" />
<MAP src="but:0:13" dst="/event/a" />
<MAP src="but:0:15" dst="/event/a" />
<MAP src="but:0:16" dst="/event/a" />
<MAP src="but:0:12" dst="/event/b" />
<MAP src="but:0:14" dst="/event/b" />
<MAP src="but:0:12" dst="/event/b" />
<MAP src="but:0:14" dst="/event/a" />
<MAP src="but:0:12" dst="/event/a" />
<MAP src="but:0:14" dst="/event/b" />
<MAP src="but:0:12" dst="/event/b" />
<MAP src="but:0:13" dst="/event/a" />
But none of it did what I expected...
It is acting weird I often don't understand what happening. I know something for dump events but that worked on linux for a usb controller, I don't know how use it on gp2x

Hello,
On lsdj arduinoboy 8.4.1 I can't save when I use the gamecube gameboy player. My song is still here when I off/on gamecube but I can't save in project screen, it always fails.
On dmg-01 it works good.
I think it worked with older lsdj arduinoboy version but I have to cheak it
I have free space available...

Re: Are people interested in a python tracker making collaboration? (2 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
Thank's for your response!
The idea became from that I understand that what I love the most about LSDJ was also the workflow and that it can be used with buttons and knobs which is build normally for gaming but controllers for gaming are the best we can find in term of ergonomy and so there is nothing more comfortable than make music with gamepad or with handheld console in my opinion...
I tried M8 tracker headless, which is maybe the best in this direction but I steel have problems on it (can't save a song or can't use my preferred gamepad (I use it with webdisplay app because i'm on linux). And I like the thing to add the fonctionnality I want on the code.
I thought about using many things like lsdj but maybe some things different like the song screen. It should be easyer to do I think if it was something like
[1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 + (go on + and press a for add one) ([1] is the one playing) and if you want to loop in one number, you press for exemple B on it.
>--C-------------
----D-------------
----E------------
----G-------------
For now, the grid must be finished and and navigation must be finished where there is bugs.
I have an other project file where I was wrong started but where the playing note and tracker moving works good so I can use what I already done on it.
If you want me to share it, send me a private message with your email.

This is a new chiptune dark experimental album I just made where I sing and where my friend 8rix putted his voice and his text on the track "s'expose".
Lyrics are in french, it's globally about end of the world, school violence and absurd, in a quite humoristic way.
