This is really just bare bones. It might be of some use, I've bought mine for a mod, because I didn't want the casing anyway and this gives me some degree of flexibility with placement.
Runs fine off of 12V, didn't do much testing yet, but seems to work nicely with the NES. I might test it with a C64C if you're interested.
I really like that cover!
Thanks, looks even better on paper! :]
Hi,
I'm releasing a new EP and will also be doing a release party with a live performance.
While this is in the Czech republic, I'll also most likely have a webstream up, so you'll be able to watch. The show will start at about 20:00 UTC+1.
I'll post an update when everything is set up.
Show will start at about 20:20

I'll be releasing a new EP (called N/EP) made on the NES on 11/28!
Here's a wip version of one of the tracks:
this is nice!
love the sound! :]
great!! :]
thanks!
Soundcards with the Yamaha YMF7xx chipset are very nice, too!
Those still have an authentic OPL3 block inside them, plus they are SB compatible and conform to the Windows Sound System specification which, despite the name, can be used in DOS as well, for example Impulse Tracker runs fine with those cards. And they usually have nice outputs with very low noise.
Be warned though, they need a driver to run properly.
But yeah, I prefer those cards to SB16. Gotta try out CT1740 though. Also, CT2260 is very noisy, which is a shame, because it's a nice card otherwise.
YMF720+ cards are also available for the PCI, though I've only come across the ISA ones, so I can't really help you there. I assume there would be no significant difference.
Yup, I've done some OPL programming. Never tried working with OPN sadly, but still. Favorited this thread to answer potential general FM questions :]
You can PM me anytime if you have questions.
me too
Nice tunes, looking forward to more! :]
A friend of mine who knew nothing outside of, "oh he makes music that's on a Gameboy" sent me it excitedly, and with a sort of an air that said, "This is basically what you do, right?"
Hehe, my friend sent a link to this to me saying "I think you could probably do this better, still worth a listen though" :]]
Thanks for all the responses! :]
We're glad you like our project.
I've just finished uploading two videos recorded by our friend Carlos. These might interest you as they show a little bit of what's under the hood :]
Hi,
I'd like to tell you about our live chiptune project consisting of me (kvee) and nooly (of demoscene and Big Chipcompo fame). We call ourselves (the) Squarewave Orchestra and we play a mix of game music, chiptunes, d'n'b, ambient, or just generally electronic music live.
While we use prerendered backing tracks, we perform the bass and melody parts live using various vintage computers and consoles, using the actual machines' keyboards (where possible).
Nooly uses his Commodore 64C with retroskoi, whereas I use the ZX Spectrum 128 with its AY-3-8912 chip that I wrote my own controller program for, then some 386/486 PCs with OPL3 and also my own DOS program to control the chip. Lastly, I use one of my NTSC NES consoles with midines and once again some custom software that actually runs on the oldschool PC and then uses the gameport-MIDI cable :]
(I intend to release my software sometime in the future)
We think this is an interesting alternative to the usual DJ-style performances done on gameboys. Check it out if you're interested and let us know what you think :]
We played this live show as part of the Extra demoparty inside a neat arcade game museum. So instead of the usual backstage stuff, we were trying to beat each other's high score on Ms.PacMan (nooly won by 2k). We played for an audience of about 30.
(Bear in mind this was our first live show and we _do_ make mistakes here and there. We know about them, we're working on playing better :]]] )
Here's the whole YouTube playlist of our live show
(also, our page and also our facebook page)
Try pressing the left or right button on controller #1 when midines is running...
I've got midines 1.1.1, so I have no idea if this works with 1.1.0
But yeah, I bought a NTSC NES, so I don't have this problem anymore :]

straight from 0xB8000 :]
still needs some work, though
Hey, this is great! :]
Can't wait for custom samples!
