The moment when you realise your LSDJ song/live screen is dominated by 00 39 00 39 00 39 00 39 and your work is royally fucked.

Hey man, how much is the second NES going for? I'm willing to pay $30 for the actual unit, as well as s&h.

There we go, full .zip archive added, all ID3 tagged and stuff.

Kinky

Haha, no probs.

The release page is broken, so I've replaced it with individual MP3 download links. I'll get a .ZIP album all fixed up in the next hour or so.
Also note that my track '37 Ducks' isn't ID3 tagged yet.

DOWNLOAD THE FULL EP IN .ZIP FORMAT HERE

i have serious problems.

i wrote some songs about ducks. i asked some friends to do the same.
all tracks are properly titled, tagged, contain art, and all that bullshit for you iTunes users. not to be confused with songs about dicks EP. (probably isn’t real.)

I really like ducks. Koizumi really likes ducks. We decided to write music about ducks.

It took us under two hours to write and record these amazing works of art. Great fun for weddings or brutal torture!
I believe these songs truly encompass the quirky nature of ducks (and geese if you’re into that kinky shit).

I've finally got a full ZIP download up. Check the top of the post.


I am so sorry.
So very sorry.

This looks too good to be true. But it certainly looks a whole lot easier than my current plan of urning and manufacturing the CDs myself, and shipping them off myself.
I might trial this for my first album/EP CD release!

However, the product pages are quite confusing. I can't seea purchase button anywhere :\

DMG uses 5V internally and can run on a 5V power supply without strain, the (normal) 6V from the batteries or AC adapter is converted to  +5V (for most everything inside) and -18/19V (for the LCD's contrast)...

you're good.  wink

USB provides a cheap regulated 5V, for breadboarding even if you want.  there is a current limitation, but apart from this its your basic regulated 5V power source.  you just ignore the data/clock lines, and use the Vcc and GND.

Ahh, thanks for pointing that out. I'm glad to know I'm not doing any damage now tongue

How's the noise compared to a normal PSU? Buzzing, humming etc.

It's actually quite silent when plugged into a computer, in regard to humming. Much quieter than battery power imo.

I'm surprised it works as good as it does, though. Last time I checked USB ports supplied 5V of power, whereas the DMG needs 6V.
Although I did notice the slightest of contrast changes between playing and paused states on LSDJ. Playing the track would cause the contrast to jump up a teensy bit - not even noticeable.

I don't know much about backlighting, so whether or not this idea will work with a backlight is unknown to me. My current DMG is totally unmodded and it works fine.
But I did hear about a guy over at 8bc having his backlit DMG totally wrecked. However, it was almost definitely due to the power source he used. Use a standard computer USB port unless you know what you're doing!

A few weeks ago I built an extremely simple USB power supply for the DMG.
This was a real shoddy job - no solder, too much heatshrink - every advanced electronics aficionado will die on the inside after hearing about how I built this thing.
This isn't the most complicated piece of kit, but I find it pretty nifty and useful.

This video is outdated, as I've built a new one with more reliable wiring (and yes, solder!)
