Ah right, thanks for clearing that up! Such interesting little idiosyncrasies..

Re: Gameboy ROM header utility (28 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
This seems to be a good place to ask. I've noticed nanoloop still works even if the 'hello' logo is scrambled upon boot; does this have any negative effect on the actual software compared to trying to get a perfect logo each time?

I went to the store that was selling the PMA-5, but instead walked away with a JV-1010.. pretty much instant satisfaction, this thing is AMAZING
pretty much the perfect size for my setup too!

If only there were a way to replace the QY70's OS with a different one, perhaps a tracker interface

True. I'm not expecting multi-touch expressiveness or anything; I had a Motorola A925 about 10 years ago so I know what I'm getting into

I have a QY70 and it's great. The onboard filters and effects are surprisingly good, especially the reverb.
I'm considering getting a PMA-5 as well:

I don't use the sequencer on the QY70 (it's dedicated to a band I'm in where it's basically used just as a sound module for the keyboard player) but I think the PMA-5's sequencer looks slightly easier to use, especially with the touch screen.. plus it has that awesome Roland power drum kit!

I reckon I could have a go at some minimalist nanoloop thrash, sounds like fun.

cTrix, because everything he's ever done just sounds so effortlessly amazing, and I've seen how he works, he really does make it seem so easy!

Re: best gig case for DMG, GBA, carts and cables (6 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I just use a small, cheap camera bag for my chip setup; mine can hold my DMG, gameboy micro, mixer and mini kaoss pad and still has room for cables, batteries etc.

That's pretty neat, all you would need is guitars on top and then it might be some industrial chiptune gothic metal
My new project might do exactly that.. but it'll probably only get released if I can get the interest of a label; and maybe not a chip label because it doesn't really sound like anything on any chip labels I've heard

I would *love* to hear music like that at big chip festivals!
Not that there's anything really wrong with the current dance trend at chip gigs, but I'm just not good at making that kind of stuff haha

ooh yes that's definitely what I was thinking of!
It's a shame stuff like that isn't as popular as the more 'conventional'/EDM-inspired chip music

Topic: Synthpunk/minimal wave chiptunes? (15 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Is there anyone out there who makes synthpunk or minimal wave style chip music? It seems like such an appropriate genre to make on a gameboy. There are plenty of hardcore chip artists (e.g. 10k) but what about stuff that has more in common with post-punk than hardcore? Like, slower and maybe a bit gothy.

Does anyone have any concrete evidence that the PCB is any worse than a normal cart shell? I don't own one. Do they break? Do they fall out? Is it hard to get it in? Just wondering why so many are against it.
It's sometimes a little difficult to get into my DMG—sometimes it looks like it's gone in but must have shorted something out because when I turn it on, nothing even appears on the screen. Kinda worrying. I guess the solution is to just keep the NL PCB in there and not use anything else

I still haven't upgraded my Squinson firmware yet—hopefully soon. Pretty keen to get something other than LSDJ onto my EMS cart.

Re: Tracker in SmileBasic? (1 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Looks cool, I like this idea:
Moreover, you can compose your own song with SmileBASIC by using Music Macro Language or MML. MML enables you to compose your own music in a familiar way by specifying notes and duration of each note.
