The inevitable "this doesn't even sound like mega man" attitude that you're referring to is the most infuriating aspect of using any old game hardware for music. Like someone else said earlier I'm strongly considering sampling all my stuff into ableton and not even acknowledging the chip aspect of it in a live setting.

i'm saying this as someone who literally works in the video game industry

the worst part about making chiptune is videogames

The other thing with chipmusic gigs is they tend to be 4 or 5 acts on the same night, which doesn't really lend itself to developing a set beyond "the hits".   I'd rather see one act with a support like any normal gig but eh, is it viable?   Seems like being a bit more vague presenting shows would work better for artists than shoving the word CHIPTUNE or CHIPMUSIC everywhere, it's electronic music who gives a damn in 2016 what it's written on.

From times to times I also perform on games/anime/general geek events (always for the money) and the response is the worst because those people are all morons.

I wonder if there is a gamepad sleeve for smartphone that has game boy like buttons on the bottom and the typical square window on top, so that it resembles the shape of a gb pocket. With a compatible app running, you can hold and play it vertically like a game boy, otherwise it just shows the upper half of the lock screen.
