Not a bad idea- just how to integrate it all for seamlessness with the current library. Unless we removed our own all together.

Sure? Or any of the free services out there. Though I suspect ucollective will end up having the same issues when the data size is too large for cheap services- or when the cheaper services bottleneck.
Which leads me to another feature of limiting the usage: We can easily move the files to Amazon S3 or another replicated cloud service once we cut down the usage a bit. Which in turn will provide a faster world-wide solid upload/download service.

Unfortunately that also costs money and time to manage- which in the end may not be worth the effort- though it's a good idea. Right now we are utilizing "unlimited" space for file storage which is pretty cheap but I worry the hosting provider of that service might not appreciate it once they find out- we are running 2 separate server/services- The code and content is on a expensive service and the large file storage is on a cheap unlimited service. If we end up having to move the files to a actual server or cloud storage service the cost will be way way too high to maintain.

Makes sense. The CMO shouldnt have to foot the bill for everybodys online music storage. Theres plenty of other options availble now.
Yeah, and I personally would like us to be more of a showcase & feedback than a repository. Which would possibly include some changes to the presentation of songs here- but that's only my opinion.

Topic: Possible New Rule: Music Section- number of songs limitation (55 replies, posted in Rules & Announcements)
We've been thinking about limiting the number of tracks per member on CMO to something like 3 to 5 songs as oppose to unlimited.
There are 2 reasons to this change:
1. First and foremost it is a expensive model to maintain- as the number of artists and number of tracks will always be increasing- which makes it expensive and difficult to keep backups.
2. More importantly- Quality over quantity: By limiting the number of songs per artist, it gives everyone a chance to put their best foot forward and only feature what they consider their best work. Greatly limiting the total number of songs on CMO which will give everyone a longer "Feature" time on the front page.
*If* this comes into action there will be a email warning sent out to all members who have more than X number of songs, and we'll give them a 1 month grace period to choose the songs they wish to keep on the site. After the month has past we'll launch a magic mathematical robot to decide which songs to keep if they are over their limit.
Thoughts? This is a open discussion and we welcome your opinion.

Maybe you are just picking out the things that do not sound right and missing the stuff that sounds fine. To me a lot of sample based plugins sound terrible (some synth edit stuff / toad / magical 8bit / etc) as well as DSP synthesis that utilize filtering algorithms for interpolation. There are ways around it, and some emulations or DSP based synths do a great job at it- But the terrible ones are also some of the more popular and give off a general distaste for the thing as a whole. Personally I just concentrate on what sounds good to me, and don't care where it's coming from. I use all the wares, both hard and soft. (ew.)

Re: software vs hardware - time to move on? (71 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Fakebit should not be a thing- because even the term chipmusic (more to the point in chiptune) has morphed into whatever is suitable at the given time- And to which bits are we referring to? The audio? (Gameboy: 4bit, Computer: any resolution really) or the processor (Gameboy: 8bit, classic Amiga:32bit)
Software, hardware, chip waveforms arp'd on tracker, sweet PWM sweeps from a C64, or nasty LFSR noise sweeps on a NES- it's about the sound and not the process, the music composition and not the tool.
The whole thing about hw vs sw reminds me of the old analog vs digital debates from a decade ago, or the vinyl vs cd arguments from 15 years ago, or in the 60's I heard some musicians preferred the sound of a physically destroyed speaker over a tube or transistor based circuit for adding distortion to their guitars.

Yeah if anything, changing the settings in code itself - you'll probably also need to change the memory settings value that checks if the stored eeprom matches the config. Think its called version or something. Without changing that to something else too, arduinoboy wont reload the settings into eeprom. Which is probably what you were experiencing.

Re: Gameboy Dev Starting Point. (15 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Which model of Gameboy?
For the classics- the GBDK is a good place to start, many examples etc. Check out http://gbdk.sourceforge.net/ ... You'll most likely need a windows machine for compiling, none of us have of yet been able to compile using OSX.
If you don't know anything about programming there is a bit to learn- For learning C I would get this book: http://www.amazon.com/C-Programming-Lan … 0131103628 ... but there are quite a few free resources around the web too.
Personally I would dive into C first, and Assembly later.
Then down the road go and look at the pandoc http://nocash.emubase.de/pandocs.htm and possibly http://www.retards.org/library/technolo … sound3.pdf to get a visual understanding of the gameboy sound registers and how they are used.
