I support this idea.

That is exactly how it sounds. Damn it!
I just wrote aliasing for lack of a better term.

Thank you for clearing that up!

It's a shame though. It's a very nice MD.
I read alot about european models being flaky (with the va7 on later models and all) - so I found this japanese one rather cheap, and since you can discern an early one (which I read was supposed to have nice quality) with the "AV Intelligent ..." text I thought it would be the safest bet.

Well, well.

So... I'm getting some crazy amounts of aliasing. Is this how the Megadrive actually sounds or do I have a whack console? I got my hands on a japanese model since I read on some forums that they had the best sound output.

It's like... I have a hard time hearing there's an actual sine tone underneath the aliasing.

Might just be that I just need to figure this out.

I've got one of these

It's called USB Slim Loader III and supposedly works with XG Flash 2.
(I have got a NeoFlash cart for it though)

necrobumping like a boss, since I really want to ask if somebody used nanoloop 2.x on this, and how are the results.

A friend got one for giveaway, will be interesting to know about the sound quality and stuff.

thanks!

Works great.
Sound quality is pretty bad.

In regards to SNES I think we have to adress the fact that it's soundchip loads samples from the cart ROM, right? I'm not very knowledgeable about SNES music, but I think it's something like that, so that kind of software for SNES would need heaps of samples from different games to be any fun.

However, there is a VST/AU that emulates the sample playback engine in SNES and actually loads SPC-files and rips the samples from them.

EDIT: there's a thread about this VST btw: http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/12543 … -vst-c700/

Neil Baldwin has made some excellent music software for the NES: http://nes-audio.com/
There's also the NESK-1 ... http://www.heavyw8bit.com/nes_synth.php I guess this is closer to a cynthcart equivalent.

All the versions are different, sure, but the post 2.3 versions are mostly fixes and updates. (except for the new 2.7)
Basically, 2.5 is not as desirable as say 2.2- And this is just not about functions in the software; this cart can be updated / downgraded with versions 2.3 -> 2.7

The only thing that would warrant such a high price for this cart is the casing, really.

I apologize in advance, Zazi, I don't mean to ruin your chances of selling it at this price, I am writing a fair explanation for why it might be hard. Ultimately, the price tag is entirely up to the seller and I respect that.

Wow, this caught me entirely off guard. Really liking this!

But there are so many different brands and quality... I for one think that Wheaty's sausages are very tasty... Uh, what is this thread about?

Step pause function is so exciting! Can't wait.
Also good to hear about sound quality being upped, although it meaning no stereo pan on L/R channels. (right?)

If you can't find one used, they are in stock here: http://www.retrotowers.co.uk/drag-n-derp-cart

just a little fyi smile

Intriguing.

Yeah, that would be great in a live performance. Just don't change it to note names entirely! wink

Does anyone happen to have a recording of The Hunters' set?
