I think every option for playing the gameboy via a midi keyboard sounds about 1/10th as good as getting deep into the guts of programing using LSDJ or nanoloop. You might want to chew on what you actually want to do before spending a bunch of money getting something to work.

So far i only tested it on OSX, and everything seems well on song creation and playback, but havent had a chance to test rendering.

Oh for sure, just wanted to explain my methods cause it could seem overthought at first glance. I think another thing to consider is disk i/o, i think my usb stick is a lilll faster than even my fastest sd card.. helps when rendering on desktop platforms.

Yea but im trying to avoid adapters and cables in my life. Also microsds are more expensive, and there seems to be a high failure rate on rasp pi sd slots, so Im just cutting all those guys out of my equations.

GCWzero has a usb port too. In all ways sds are better except for the part where they are built like crap.

Re: Caanoo and flash drives? Why not! (21 replies, posted in LittleGPTracker)
btw you could totally just do all this on a sd card and a card reader for the pi but I wanted to avoid that because:
-sd cards fall apart quickly when you are pulling them out and putting them in something multiple times a week
- a usb stick doesnt require any reader or cables to hook up to device
-look how small it is!
Also im loading a backup of the pi image on the usb stick as well as a copy of audacity and reaper to handle renders.

Are there any big pros/cons to using a USB stuck on the Caanoo over SD?
The biggest con is that I cant autorun the binary off it, because it mounts the usb AFTER reaching the caanoo menu. It takes about another 5 seconds or so after boot to mount the usb stick. If you do it too quick youll get a blank piggy load screen.
I need to hook up the caanoo and ssh into its nand and see if I can change the mount order to have it mount BEFORE it runs autorun.gpu.
Speed and performance seem comparable, but i think I found a bug where you cannot create a project below the project root... it messes up the folder name.

Yeah, partitioning your card or using an additional storage mediums is a really, really great idea when it comes to the raspi.
I set it up that way in my [extremely delayed due to work] ultimate Chiptune raspi ROM image and I've had no issues with stability or corruption.
That hasnt been my experience at all. I resized the fat partition on the piggy sd, and ran into problems with the fs becoming unbootable often. I believe there is a bug when you use usb devices (im using three) and data corruption occurring when writing to the file system.. so moving the whole pig universe to a seperate flash drive is my attempt to keep the whole file systems apart.
So my pi sd is now completely stock except it:
Autologins to root
runs a boot script that mounts the usb drive
it runs the pig.sh boot script
Pig.sh runs lgpt
??? (wanting to run a commandline soundfont synth so I can replace realtime keyboard controlled sample control. Also want to have a usb midi controller merge using acconnect and share the usb midi out from piggy so I can simplfy my setup)
upon a clean exit issues a halt shutdown now command to cleanly unmount all the files.

Another problem I want to avoid is that it seems the raspberry pi filesystem is very fragile, so having all my binaries and projects on a separate fat32 filesystem will allow me to not kill my os install every two months
