eBay, flea markets, vintage game stores; I've also had pretty good luck at thrift stores. Hint: Look with the USB and FireWire cables, thrift stores often don't know the difference.

I love the build of these carts. The cases feel very solid and satisfying. Plus they're beautiful.
Bonus points for the awesome die-cut LSDJ stickers, not pictured.
I just ordered two of kitsch's clear cases, time to build some new gameboys with those prosound boards... 
edit: now I just need a way to flash them HINT HINT HINT

Re: Sega GameGear value? (6 replies, posted in Sega)
The blue case adds to its value slightly, but like nitro said, how well the screen is functioning is the primary concern.

Re: Muddy GB Pitchbend question (6 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
My understanding is that muddyGB was never really completed, which is why the B button acts weird and doesn't do anything useful, and probably why it acts laggy in emulation.
There is no latency on real hardware.

Topic: EMS 64mb Cart Battery - Quality Source? (5 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I'm in the situation of needing to replace the batteries on a significant number of EMS 64meg USB carts. Since neither kitsch nor Nonfinite carries the cr1220 battery they use, I've been digging around Amazon and the like looking for a source to get them at a reasonable price.
So question #1 is - has anybody else dealt with this? Has anyone found a good source for these guys, particularly in larger quantities? It looks like 5-packs on blister board are a common quantity, but reading Amazon reviews raises question 2...
And question #2 is - has anyone tested the batteries they've received on a meter to check for freshness? And does anybody know, theoretically, if the freshness of the battery will even really matter in this particular context? As far as I understand it, the battery is trickle-powering the flash chip to keep SRAM in memory, right? So the difference between a fresh battery should be like 2.5 years as opposed to 2 years for a not-as-fresh one?
I'm sure I sound really anal - we're talking about 3.07v instead of 3.5 here, but if I'm going to buy a little pile of these batteries, it would be nice to know what I'm winding up with and how it will affect the function of my carts in the long run. Thanks in advance, kids.

Shit, there's totally someone else in the Sac/Davis area, but I can't remember who it is right now.

Not sure about making up for the funding though. I mean, how many are we talking about?

I would agree that starting with covers helps you learn the program. This would be yet another reason NOT to publicly share your first efforts with a new method of making music.

With a M command?
No, M affects volume. What you're doing is shifting the pitch manually up and down with P commands.

Thank you y'all. I'm pretty happy with the result too.
And to reiterate; if you're coming through the bay area, try to get the hookup with Blake. He's fun to work with!

I assume you mean well, but if I were him I'd take offense. :\
Kitsch-bent's store is the small mom and pop store that's been around for ages and always has exactly the thing you need, with a super knowledgable owner who never quits being excited about what he does.
