So... MIDI sync support, plz? Just have a look at how Arduinoboy is receiving MIDI and work from there...

Sorry for not getting back to y'all. Right now, the project is mostly on hiatus, but more importantly, I don't think I actually need a cartridge to try what I want, at the moment, which I thought I would. At some point down the road I will hopefully have a program that needs testing though, and then I know whom I can turn to.

The only thing that is awful about the wave emulation is kit playback. And you can live without those, I guarantee you.

But... how am I supposed to make good chiptunes on my DS without my BRK and Tupac samples?!

Easy. Next time you're playing a gig, grab the mic, duck under the table and say break where the samples would have been. Make sure that you stick your head above the table and look suspiciously at the audience every now and then to see whether anyone has figured out that you are in fact doing the break sounds with your mouth.

Is this a new music cartridge for the Famicom from 8bp, or is it just a conspiracy?!

I need help from someone who has the following item

  • One Nanoloop 1.4 or 1.5 cartridge.

  • One flash cartridge that you can write to.

  • One link cable.

  • Two Gameboys.

  • A way to record audio.

  • A little time over to help me smile

If this is you, please shoot me a mail at [email protected]

It comes from the book Ultimate Journey by Robert Monroe.

It is generally believed that as we go through life we don't really change. We just become more of the same. Bar- ring the usual exceptions that, as we say, prove the rule, when  we look around us as the years go by, this seems quite valid.  On the whole, people don' t change, and most of us strongly  resist change.

Nevertheless, all our worries and wars are based upon change. We fear that something will happen, or we fear that it  won't; so we fight to prevent change or to speed up the pro- cess. But whatever we do, change is 100 percent guaranteed.  The only question is its rate. Slow change we interpret as  evolution, fast as revolution. Changes are the epitome of Un- knowns—the greatest of fear generators.

See: http://www.theshiftofconsciousness.info … urney.html

Robert Monroe has been experiencing out-of-body experiences, and that's what the book is about. The version in Sabrepulse's song is a paraphrase, so it's likely from a lecture or an interview, rather than an audio book version. Judging from other clips, it could very well be his own voice.

I hope that's useful and that you can do without a link to the source of the audio clip.

Perhaps the Amiga can only handle FAT16. If so, the maximum partition size is 2 GB. If it can handle FAT32, larger partition sizes are possible. FAT32 didn't exist back when the Amiga was created, but there might be a patch to make it supportFAT32. Someone else might be more knowledgeable about this.

Regular SD cards are only available in sizes up to 4GB. Cards that are bigger than that are "SDHC", which the adapter may not be compatible with. If someone told you to avoid SDHC cards, they're probably speaking out of experience. There might also be other, Amiga-related, limitations that I'm not aware of.

I don't think that the serial port is b0rk. It might be that the timings for the keyboard serial interface gets fucked up with an underclocked boy. Can anyone confirm?

ok so i just underclocked my first gamebwoy

Your soundbwoy massive? wink

Yes, you're right. When underclocking, everything runs at 50% speed (unless you underclock more than that. wink ) which includes tables and sweeps as well. Sweeps, as well pitch bends (P and L commands) are of course not continuous, but consist of small changes at a certain interval. On an underclocked gamebwoy massive boom boom boom, the time between each update is doubled. I recommend you to sync two boys and use the normal speed one as master. Use the underclocked one only for things that it is needed for, like bass-heavy stuff. Conserve CPU cycles. Avoid kits, use sweep on pu1 instead of the P command when you can. etc. If you're careful not to overload the CPU it will probably work fine.

I posted this in the thread in the NL forum, but I'll post it here as well:

y0 oliver! Is there a program to convert recorded files to binary files, or do you rely solely on the method of using audio out for restoring data? I'd like to try making two things.
1) A program that analyzes these audio files and extracts the binary data.
2) A program that sends data back to the cartridge. This could be done using an Arduino or with program that runs on a second Gameboy and acts as a data storage. One doesn't exclude the other, of course.

A program running on a second Gameboy could obviously also act as a receiver and backup storage. (Assuming NL can also send data through the serial port.) This would also go well with my LittleFM project.

The problem for me though, is that I don't have a Nanoloop cartridge. I'm not going to beg for free a NL cart (although I wouldn't say no to one tongue ) but Oliver, could you please provide me with a binary save file (for reference) and an audio recording of the same file?

Also, does the transmitted data come with a checksum of some sort?

Oliver, if you want, you can reply to [my username]@gmail.com

Not sure if you'll be able to get both to display at once, and it's not super important, but it has been a bit annoying on several occasions.

I guess it would be possible, but is it really that much of a problem? Do you spend 10 minutes formulating a reply in your mind just to scroll down to the bottom and realize the thread is locked?

Stoopid threads get locked. It's as simple as that.

I accidentally took the Fourier transform of my cat.

I also deliberately closed this thread.

That's what all zip files look like. I actually started off by copying all the icons from Zabu's stuff page that I'm hosting and then added/tweaked icons as needed. And the MT icon, originally used for all binary files, remains for GBA files. I'll try to find a better icon for gba files.
