As an aside, I dunno what you use for output, but I made an op-amp output board to bypass the noisy on-board output (which goes right past the PPU and picks up a ton of noise) that really improved the cleanliness of the audio. More info as well as the schematic and board layout can be found here. The second iteration, though SMD, can be powered with 9VDC so you can use one power adapter to power it which is nice.

I use low-gains NESmod currently, but after listening to the NESA mod my interest is definitely piqued. Is it only RCA out? or will NESA work with 1/4 outs?

wouldnt hold your breath for MidiNES man.

i use a powerpak with my NES and i love it, yes the NES is always the lead in, but it dosent take away from anything (in my opinion).

my drummer wears earbuds and i program the noise channel as a metronome so he can play along in sync. plus if your playing a venue that has good sound and good stage monitors, its almost impossible to get lost, but practice makes perfect.

just keep playing dude.

if you are really passionate about your music it will shine through, and eventually you wont care if people are interested or not.

whether i play for 2 people or 200, as long as im passionate about my music, its always fun

we had a lot of fun! thanks to everyone who tuned in, we definitely hope to be on again soon!

Yo dudes,

Would there be a reason that VRC6 songs play on my NES and not MMC5?

Ive done a few tests and it seems that the MMC5 songs extra channels wont play, but for some reason VRC6 works just fine.

Any ideas? Could it be a mapper issue?

EDIT:

Just read on retrozone "MMC5 support not implemented yet. The PowerPak DOES have enough hardware to do it"

whaaaaa? why?

Alright I'm sorry but I really do need confirmation.

Is that Guy wearing sweatpants under Jean shorts?

the revengineers album is the most anticipated release in all of chipmusic history.

therefore it needs no promotion, for the masses will know when its time, and when the time comes, music will never be the same again.

required listening: depreciation guild, SBACH. FAILOTRON

the dreamland theatre in ypsilanti is usually a safe bet for shows, its a decent venue located downtown.

the the b side is also a great venue in downtown ann arbor that does all ages shows.

other places to look at would be the blind pig, the half ass (i dont know if they still do shows though), the metal frat, those are all located in ann arbor and surrounding area. you almost always get a good turn out if you advertise to students since u of m is right there.
