ha made me think of this bit of Fantasia, I've never seen it but I came accross this vid looking for information on Centaur mating

I learned 3 important facts from this.
1. Centaur may die out as a species if it were not for their putti friends helping them along romantically.
2. Centaur live just like you and I, only needing bigger benches and swings for their enormous butts.
3. Male centaur don't have nipples.
This has been very enlightening. tongue

Congrats dude!

One viable way might be to create an Arduino shield specialized for the purpose, which would take a certain amount of R&D. I'm wondering if it's worth the effort.

Even if I knew how to do this, I don't think it'd probably be worth it.  I wish I did.  I'd love to learn how to do that sort of thing. 

Anyway, it seems like no is the answer, and that's fine.  I plan to get another USB cart at some point anyway.  Thanks for the help guys!

I can't seem to find anywhere if this is possible.  I don't have a parallel port on my laptop, so I just bought a cheap parallel to USB adapter and can't seem to get the software to recognize my cartridge.  The only downloads I found for the Transferer II were the XLinker and the GB Smart Writer.  I didn't find any drivers or anything, and I no longer have the CD it came with.  Does anyone know anything about this?

It simply works. Loading a rom is on the slow side, but its heaps better than bleepbloop or ems usb carts. Backing up and restoring is easy once you get used to how it works.

Not a big deal to me.  I've never been in a position, personally, where I needed a cart to back up or load a rom quickly or [insert negative consequence here].  I'd gladly wait for it to do it's thaaang.  Easy backup and restore, even better.

And it works awesome on OSX>.

...'nuff said.

I'll set a little money aside for when this becomes available to the public.  I'm more than sold.

Edit:
Also, thanks for the feedback!

yeah, there are a few in the wild now.

Sweet!  Can we get some feedback from those of you that were lucky enough to score one?  I've no doubt it will be positive.  I just think it'd be cool to hear some first hand accounts.

I, personally, wouldn't mind a way to favorite artists.  Sometimes I hear something I really like but don't have the time to research too in depth into the person or people.

It does the same thing as a 1/8", but I feel like 1/4" locks in tighter.  People above me are right in saying that prosound and backlights are the most useful.  The others are just fancy stuff.  If you have the money and want something else that's useful, pick up an arduinoboy.

Trust me, once you learn ableton, or even logic (but that's a fucking mess as well in a different way) you will realize how much protools slows down your workflow.

I did take a class in Logic, which is much better for electronic music and MIDI.  I still liked Pro Tools better for audio.  I will give Ableton a try (assuming Ableton lite is any indication of what the full program is).  I won't deny that sometimes Pro Tools is frustrating.  I have just used it much more extensively and have seen it at work in a larger scale studio format.

Protools is awful.  Proprietary madness and an extremely convoluted workflow.  But along with 5 other programs (which are just as good or better), it'll get the job done if you know what you're doing.


THANK YOU

*shrug*  I like it.  I've had a lot of training with it and feel it's capable of a lot most other programs aren't.  What you call convoluted, I call efficient.  And the proprietary madness has gotten better since Avid took over.

Do you have a Mac or a PC.  I use a program for Mac called Soundflower that allows you to create your own audio paths within your computer's preferences.  So, potentially, I could have my audio software using one, and my computer's sound preference using another path.

Well, he did say it had pro sound, bi-vert, and variable clock as well.

If you send me your adaptor, I'll update it for free.

I will probably take you up on that.  I got my adapter from Nonfinite, so where should I send it?

Nobody uses this, yet complain about not having anything easy to flash EMS carts with on Mac.
Sorry for the hijack...

I found this a while back, but alpha stage code and not being responsible for damages scared me off.  It'll be nice to have a cart that you won't have to worry about anything but dragging and dropping is all I'm saying.
