12. Thread titles should describe the topic of the thread. Please avoid titles like "Help!" or "Have you seen this...". Something like "How can I do a beefy bassdrum with Midines?" or "I just saw a chip music reference at the bus stop" is good. Staff reserves the right to edit unclear thread titles to something more descriptive.

Removed the number from the last rule ("we reserve the right to amend...") so we don't have to increase its number every time we add a rule.

Get a hairc... I mean backlight, put on a shirt and go get a job!

Duly noted.

So this is what I've done so far for NeX:

The ROM comes in two flavours: One with a fixed background and one with a scrolling background. The one with the scrolling background isn't completed yet; it needs a lot more manual tweaking because I'm using a hack to simulate the effect a big moving background plane, something that isn't possible using only the hardware functionality. Right now that version has blocky gaps where I haven't fixed the effect.

Admittedly, I "cheated" by using Photoshop to create the initial text, but that doesn't mean it was effortless. Still a lot of tweaking and fixing, not to mention the assembly language coding.

My preliminary analysis indicates that this is not possible with the EMS carts. The USB chip doesn't seem to use the cartridge slot to access the memory, but has its way of accessing the chip through the logic chip.

Just found this one. I've sent him a mail. Let's see if he responds...

The flash chip might or might not be bust, but your songs should be ok. Back them up now, before you forget it.
