hmm, that is an interesting idea.. I'll give it a try, but I wouldn't mind acquiring new batteries for all of my micros.. I have a feeling the freezer trick is a temporary one!

Yeah. I'm kinda tempted to do a search for a more high-end battery with the same voltage and a similar form factor and see if I can repurpose it for the micro..

Topic: GB Micro replacement batteries.. any experience? (5 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Hey everyone, I think the battery in one of my micros is on its way out; I'm looking to replace it soon. I've found quite a few on ebay but I'm not sure which ones (if any) would be safe to use without any malfunctioning/explosion/whatever. Anyone had experience with replacement and can recommend a particular brand?
This one looks promising:

.. but you can never be sure.
Perhaps I'll give it a try anyway, considering I do have 3 micros, but would rather not have one be destroyed, especially while in use or while one of my precious nl2 carts is in it!

A bit late, but dude release that stuff! I'd be all over it, as I love all your previous NL2 stuff.
thanks! it's a 5-track release now..

I couldn't get it to run in Chrome, but the exe version worked on my Vista laptop (I think; may have been my XP laptop, can't remember).
You need to run the exe file from a command prompt window. I'm not sure how you launch that in Win8 though.

Re: How'd you get here? (43 replies, posted in General Discussion)
August 1996 PC Format magazine had a bunch of MOD/S3M/XM files on the coverdisc, as well as FT2 and a brief article about the demoscene. I didn't have any access to the internet at that time, but I totally rinsed those tracks, often just letting them loop in FT2 while I played Nibbles. I eventually started pilfering the samples for use in my own tracks, and made a bunch of super rudimentary rave, industrial and thrash metal for a while until I discovered IDM.. then one day I thought "hey what if I made tracks that sound like those Fleshbrain MODs I listen to all the time" and Pselodux was born.
I can't remember how I found this site. I think someone linked me here not long after I moved to Melbourne, or perhaps I discovered it through Soundbytes or something..

yeah I'd love to distance myself from the videogame aspect. It's just so prevalent though. I've played a few gaming related gigs and the audiences just seemed like they'd rather I stop playing so they can get back to/concentrate on their game.
At the same time though, I do occasionally throw in a videogame cover in my live sets, so I'm as guilty of perpetuating that stereotype as anyone else

Re: Need advice: digital delay stompbox with sample and hold pitch change (11 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
yeah, you can program it and then disconnect it and it becomes a standalone unit. They can also be chained, so there may be a way to get longer delay times by splitting a patch across two blocks.

Oh yeah, production-wise.. nanoloop. One of the most inspiring things I've used for making electronic music.

Re: Need advice: digital delay stompbox with sample and hold pitch change (11 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
Have you thought about getting a Patchblock and making a patch for what you want? I did that when I couldn't find my (non-resampling) digital delay pedal before a gig.
It's a bit more gritty but would be easy to customise. Only downside is that the sample time isn't that great.

Some of my favourite people in the world are chip musicians. Regardless of my problems fitting in style-wise, every single person I've met through the chip scene is awesome. The only problem is that I only get to see some of them at most once a year. Gotta get travelling more often!

Yeah this. None of my non-chiptune electronic producer friends understand my obsession with miniaturisation.

Figuring out how to do this live.
"We're doing it live, damnit!"
yeah, I got burned out on playing my guitar sets a couple of years ago, because I felt like I was cheating by playing along to backing tracks running in Reaper.. it got to a point where I was just blazing through my guitar parts and it was becoming too easy.. having said that it's still more of a spectacle onstage than just using a bunch of gear where everything is being generated live. Such a strange tradeoff between self-satisfaction and audience satisfaction. Maybe I just need to join a band..
