Re: What's the cheapest way to cut a hole for a pro-sound jack? (48 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
A sharp knife, a round file, a steady hand and some patience can get you a long way. This is probably not placement you're going to us, but the picture might work as inspiration:
This is the placement I chose. It's attached with this super glue. For this particular one, I had to remove the speaker and bend the connection pins on the jack, so it was a tight fit. 
Then I used a knife to make rough hole. I started out with a smaller v-shaped hole and worked my way down to vertical cuts. 
Here comes the cheat. I used a round file to even out the hole. If you don't have one, you just have to buy one. 
Also notice that I've removed some of the plastic normally holding the speaker in place.
Here's what it all looked like when assembled. For this particular method, you really need align everything correctly, since the glue dries instantly, and the hole can't be undone. In fact, I misaligned the Prosound jack on this one slightly by putting it too far into the GB, which means that most 3.5 mm plugs won't fit unless you press them in firmly, and they tend to fall out. This could've been avoided if I had just placed the jack 1 mm farther out before the glue dried. Lesson learned though.

yeah, this was awesome. that A00 trick is a great idea, I didn't realize how cool it was until I tried it.
However, for what he used it for, it would've been much more compact to define a groove and just have one transpose value on each row. So if your chord is 00, 00, 00, 00, 03, 03, 03, 03, 05, 05, 05, 05, 07, 07, 07, 07, 0A, 0A, 0A, 0A, 0E, 0E, 0E, 0E what yo can actually do is just enter 00, 03, 05, 07, 0A, 0E and use a groove which just has 4 in it. Use the G command in the table to activate that groove. That will wait 4 ticks between every step.
What's more, you can use this to easily make groovy chords by entering a groove 5,3,4,2

Re: UK High Court Bans Import Of Copying Devices (11 replies, posted in General Discussion)
This will hardly stop GB flash carts from being sold.
1) GB flash carts aren't circumventing anything.
2) Ol' Ninty only cares about systems they actually make money on.
The ruling applies to DS flash carts, and that's all it'll be used for.

Re: new 8-bit netlabel: 8!t (26 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Re: The discussion between pXtR and Akira
It doesn't really make sense to restrict the samples that you can use in a MOD/XM based on technical criteria. An 8-bit sample (as in bitdepth, not aesthetic) is just a bleak copy of the original anyway. What makes more sense is to restrict the sample sources based on aesthetics, not technology. A common way to generate chip samples back in the days, and still today of course, was to hold down the right mouse button, move your mouse randomly and loop that section. What you end up with is a constant sounding waveform. Make a few of those with different timbre, and you can make a song with chip aesthetics. If you're not going to allow that, I suggest you scrap the MOD/XM format entirely.

Hint: Let the pixel walk out of the area. Instead of limiting the x/y positions to 0-7 as you seem to do now, and them by $07, and they'll wrap around. Next time you drop by #gbdev, I'll tell you how/why it works.

You can do this, for example... http://nex.gg8.se/modblog/2010/06/total … ameboy-sp/

Ok, that's not what you meant. It's basically a GBA in a different form factor and a backlight. Apart from doing regular Gameboy stuff on it, you can obviously also do GBA stuff on it.
NL 2.x
M4G tracker
Emulators
Goomba (GB)
PocketNES
Also check out Herbert Weixelbaum's audio comparison.
That's about it, I think.

The only thing that is awful about the wave emulation is kit playback. And you can live without those, I guarantee you. The noise channel emulation isn't really awful, only different.

Re: LSDj on Lameboy - note cutoff fix (12 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Thanks for the video , but... The live mode demonstration wasn't actually necessary. The problem happens when you press start to stop the whole song (or load a new song.) What happens is that LSDj writes to a special hardware register to kill all sound. But this register isn't supported in Lameboy. What my fix does is to kill the channels individually.

. It took me months to write this tutorial because its so boring to fire on latex after your regular work, create the figures, etc.
At the risk of losing face, what does "fire on latex" mean? I would google this but it seems potentially NSFW.
It means putting on your rubber suit and being kinky.

Actually, LaTeX is a document format that is popular in the academic world.

In case someone actually wants to run LSDj on Lameboy, I've made a fix for the annoying bug where notes wouldn't end when you stop the song. If someone actually wants it (apart from the people I've mailed it to already) shoot me an e-mail at [email protected].
2016 edit: If you're considering mailing me about this, please first try the GameYob emulator which should all around be a better choice for emulating GB on NDS.

Re: deleted (11 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I think that particular component will sound crap with a Gameboy, since it was meant to be used with a high impedance output, like a guitar pickup. Especially since it's a passive component.
