I dunno what You need dude. RGB, VGA or HDMI (for the Raspberry Pi 2, for instance)?

Finally I got the VGA one, for modern ZX Spectrums like Eva or Speccy2010. And it was this one: http://www.beetronics.co.uk/7-inch-monitor-with-vga

Seems like this one http://www.beetronics.co.uk/7-inch-monitor-white however has all 3 inputs/modes. And it's still 7" only.

Good luck.


Whoa these are both awesome! I know it's probably impossible but I wonder now if I could find something that I could plug my NTSC Amiga 500 into. Protracker 2.3d runs default in PAL and chops off the bottom/top of the screen on my RGB monitors, but with my very specific Amiga 1080 monitor I can adjust the V-HEIGHT to a point where Protracker refreshes the screen to fit everything on at once. It works but I feel nervous without a backup and this stuff is fairly difficult to get here in the states! smile

Just discovering this thread now and wow Spintronic, you rock big_smile

use modes yo!

if little compositional/timbre-related gimmicks like having a "drop" or throwing some square waves in an edm track are the things that make you not want to listen to a track, I honestly don't see how you can even listen to chiptune at all

like chiptune is an entire aesthetic based on what a large percentage of music listeners would call a gimmick

maybe artists shift away from "pure" chiptune because the things that determined aesthetic purity w/r/t chiptune have only gotten narrower as time has passed while music in general has gone in all sorts of directions

In terms of genre-bending or whatever, I tend to dislike all these artists who seemingly get tired of "pure chipmusic" and then have their mandatory go at making chip-EDM or chip-rock or folk music or whatever. Most of the time it doesn't grab me at all and feels extremely lame. It takes someone special to pull off a transition like that.

I'm probably being a bit unnecessarily defensive here, but this kind of logic is a bit obnoxious to me. Who are we, as fans, to say to artists what style they "belong to?" Tastes evolve and inspiration grows - posts like this often (selfishly) concern me because I've always made more technical rock-influenced music before even toughing a gameboy but over the past couple years I've genuinely fallen in love with classic techno and many other forms of dance music so I feel anything I make like that in the future could be viewed as that "mandatory go at making chip-EDM" within the same community. What's very important to also note is this:

That very same transition could have been made for people when they even started making chipmusic, u feel me? wink

I will always post this album when discussing GSXCC:
https://tenebrium.bandcamp.com/releases

Written with a General MIDI sequencer and then converted with GSXCC but since it's completely original music and doesn't exist in any other released format than this, I think this may be a great example of how to nicely use GSXCC.

That and the music is spectacular.

also down with this, hmu

A new version of LSDJ for GBA, using 6 channels of FM.

I've been hunting for Mark Denardo's stuff for a little while, especially the vocal version of "Impala 66." I love his stuff, inclusive of the scoring work and the Graffiti Monster 7"
