Wow, great work! A few questions:
Is the PC utility windows only?
Do you plan to do another run of your cartridges/flashers in conjunction with this?
Finally, to answer tour question, it really depends on the price, but yes I'm interested.

Wouldn't the only point in learning LSDJ or Nanoloop be to make great music? So, maybe that's where you should go next?

Aren't Jimmy Eat World considered to be one of the pioneering 'emo' bands? They're a great freaking band, there's nothing wrong with them being 'emo'.
Though, at the end of the day, the band referred to as 'Crying' is kind of emo.
Probably refering to the emo movement that broke off of hardcore in the 80s. Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate, which was sadly co-opted by crappy bands everywhere in the 2000s. There was semi-recently kind of a revival I guess? But I'm guessing their complaint was that they don't consider themselves an emo band, despite having a bunch of the stylistic hallmarks of being one (super melodically driven, all those guitar parts, etc) and the cultural problems in that scene (misogyny).
That's a good point. I guess I'm going off my experience here where bands I've known that we're clearly emo, when asked if they were emo, refuted it. It seems like emo bands would much prefer to be called post-hardcore. I wonder what they'd say if someone called them post-hardcore.
I mean, they're getting reviewed. Which by extension means people are actually noticing them and taking them seriously. That alone is pretty impressive for a band that incorporates chipmusic. Then, throw in the fact that the people that are reviewing them aren't immediately comparing their songs to Mega Man and Mario at a rave.
It's not my place to say, but I feel like they don't have much to be complaining about.

That was a ninja edit. Try this out and see if it works for you. The program is still command line though.

I kept thinking this thread would be a discussion on emotional response to chipmusic. Then I saw the edited title up to the point "How do you feel about the band..." and thought it was going to be "How do you feel about the band Crying" and was going to talk about how touching it is to see performers so touched by their music that they break out into tears along with the audience.
But alas...
I lol'ed.
But more importantly: Have you seen a band perform live that was so touched by their music they shed tears? I don't know how I feel about that. To me it's kind of like wearing your own band's t-shirt or something. But then again, I think a good performer should perform with emotion, but it may be a different kind of emotion than tearing up at how touching the music you are playing is.
But I guess I could see someone tearing up while performing something they didn't write. Like a member of a choir performing Handel's Messiah. Though if Handel teared up while conducting the choir, that would be a no-go for me.

well, isnt the goal of Ubuntu alike distros be transparent to any kind of user ?
By 'transparent' do you mean 'easy to use'? If so, I don't think it is. Early on (2004), maybe the goal was to be usable by anyone, but at that point I think usable meant that you didn't have to have a CS degree to install it on your machine. Anybody who thinks they'll be able to use any linux distro as their daily driver and not have to use a shell at some point is misguided in my opinion.
Having said that, I guess I sort of regret and feel bad about being condescending about OP's linux inexperience. Thinking back to my early linux days, I was probably in the same boat. However, I felt like OP's attitude came across like he couldn't be bothered to spend 10 seconds compiling an otherwise extremely useful and well developed program. So I think my response should have been more along the lines of "What business do you have using linux if you can't even bother to read a readme?"
