I'm interested to hear chip versions of rap songs. Anyone can point me, please?
tugboat did an epic cover medley that included mostly rap music. i don't know where you could find an mp3 of it but it rules.
i already voted for the pussy dogs :-(
For $50 I'd take it. JAK will do an amazing job too. His attention to detail and production standards are right up there. IMO $50 is a bargain.
saying 50 is a bargain for a JAK cover is a serious understatement.
Interesting project. A regular NES controller is read out by using a parallel in, serial out shift register. One button is read at a time. It also has support for 2-3 controllers on one port, each with a separate data line.There's a common clock line that clocks all the 2-3 controllers that may be connected to one port.
It seems from the chips on the board that this corresponding clock line is used to increment a 4017 decade counter. A decade counter is a type counter that sets one output pin high at a time, incrented by a clock signal. it can cycle through ten positions. Each position would then select a segment of the keyboard. This is what the 9 diodes are for. Each segment selector is connected to a segment of 8 keys. Those 8 keys are probably further broken down into 2 groups of 4, selectable by an output, so you're reading 4*9=36 keys at a time.
Awesome info! Thanks a lot.
Batsly Adams has done a lot of work with the Arduino and the NES. Talk to him first. It may be easier just to use an Arduino to interface with an actual modern existing keyboard or input device, rather than the Famicom keyboard. I know that would be cool and all, but the availability of cheaper stuff that more people have access to may be a better idea.
If Batsly wants to make an arduino interface that would let you plug, let's say, a USB keyboard into a Nintendo, then I'll be the first in line to buy it. But since I already have the Famicom keyboard, I'm gonna keep working on it (since I know absolutely nothing about arduinos).
I just posted the first in a series of blog entries about my efforts to mod a Famicom keyboard to work with my NES. Basically, I want to use it as a controller for the programs I'll write for it (for example, a synth program kind of like cynthcart, but for the NES).
This is pretty ambitious for me because I don't really know much about this kind of stuff. Any help or feedback would be great!

yo, come to america!
what's so bad about hitting play and just fucking sitting down and staring at the audience
this is great. i know absolutely nothing about 1 bit music or the zx spectrum but the info is presented in a compelling and interesting way. i look forward to more!
try lsdjguides youtube channel
i started choking because i was laughing so hard at one point.

last time was kinda shitty
just tell the border guys that you're coming to a rochester chip show. they'll let you right through.
anyone who carpools from another state gets $1 off the price of admission! :-)
no but seriously, that would be amazing.
I want to get up there bad and check this Rochester Chip event out!
2nded. This looks awesome.
carpooooool. y'all can stay at my house!
check your email. :-)
i've bought a gameboy (backlight, rca pro sound, and pitch knob) from justinthursday before and it's great.
