I don't mean to rain on the parade, but I seriously would not backup that cart and distribute the sav unless you got permission.

It brings up a whole concern of piracy, I think.

lsdj on an emulator is the best way to practice

save money and grab a gameboy and a blank cart, then throw the rom on the cart

make tracks and have fun !

then when it's time to record, grab an audio interface or just plug into the line-in if your comp has one

then when it's time to play live, i recommend getting a second gameboy+cart and a mixer so you can blend between tracks

this is just one method of doing it too - you could also just get nanoloop and call it a day!

half of the tools used to make chipmusic/chiptune itself were once considered to not be usable either, I think!

there is no "chipmusic context," IMO there is just music and the tools used to make it

I feel you. When in doubt, google the tutorials done by these great artists because they're super helpful:
-Nullsleep
-Sabrepulse
-Animal Style
-Chipocrite
-cTrix
-Danimal Cannon

There are tons and tons more great ones out there, but those are just ones off the top of my head that I'm thinking of right now. Also maybe listen through a bunch of classic label catalogs like 8bitpeoples and pause where you can really see the development and find some amazing releases in the process. Hope you find some fellow artists around you soon!

A chip musician once said something to me around the lines of, "There are so many people into this, but they don't even know it yet themselves." It was a funny passing joke statement but I definitely think there is some truth to it - I just moved from a very chiptune friendly area (Philadelphia, with easy access to NYC) now into an area that isn't very hip to chiptune, though I have no anxiety about my ability to express myself here. You don't really need to find specific "chiptune people" - consider looking up groups of people who are already into different experimental ways of making music, be it electronic or not, and I think eventually you will end up getting a few bites of support. You have to realize that even in places where this music is commonplace, there was once a time where absolutely nobody else was pushing this kind of music hard. Therefore, I think every "scene" starts from a small group of people meeting up and enjoying what they do. That being said... hell, you joke about craigslist but that's actually a great start for this - also try Meetup.com! Plus, even more exciting is that if you DO then begin to pursue it in a place that's not hip to it, you may become the local catalyst to making that specific kind of music and locals that are unfamiliar with it may be amazed and interested at the process of how you do it. Of course that last part might only happen if you're, well...good at making it.*

got one or two problems with the survey, first of all the lack of ages bellow 18, there are a quite a few chipmusicians who are under 18 (myself included)

Oh man there are a few problems with this survey but considering it's just a finals project, I'm sure it's pretty harmless. No harm no foul!

To the OP: Watch out for question #9 though! I think you accidentally told SurveyMonkey to let participants choose multiple answers here where that wouldn't make sense. If you need someone to crunch survey data and run some statistics for you, let me know. wink

Don't be a data hata! wink
