Hmm, looking further, I found this link: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/thread … -Windows-8

Disabling driver signature enforcement *should* still work on Windows 8, just not through DSEO. Use thi to do it manually instead "bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON"
However, 1) you need to do it from an administrator command prompt 2) you still need to sign the driver manually.

Otherwise, try my other bcdedit line and see if that makes the boot menu show up at boot time. (You can even put a value of 10 just for testing since yo can change it later.) This should definitely allow you to press F8 on boot, which should simplify the process at least a little. Again, you need to do this from an administrator/elevated command prompt window.
Look here to see how to open an elevated command prompt: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8 … dows-8.htm

One of these days I need to install Windows 8 so I can try these things directly and don't have to rely on other people's sources, though.

Edit: Note that disabling signature checks, and enabling test mode are two different things. Disabling signature checks completely is considered dangerous because any application can now load kernel drivers, so it needs to be done at boot time every time you boot. All the timeout line does (hopefully) is allow you to get into the boot menu without doing the ritual with the troubleshooting menu.

Test mode doesn't eliminate the signature checks, but allows users to sign drivers themselves. This can be permanently enabled, but shows a warning text in the lower right corner of the desktop and also requires the extra step of manually signing the driver in order for it to work.

So here's the problem. The only sane offers for 128 kB FRAM you can find is Ramtron's FM20L08. However, this chip is 3.3V only. Drag'n'derp solves this by using only 3.3V chips and using level shifters near the cartridge bus. This poses a problem for a genuine MBC5 cartridge since the MBC5 nominally wants a 5V supply, so you still need a bunch of level shifter chips if you want to do everything kosher. I personally still think FRAM is a bad tradeoff for this reason, unless you go the full way, like Abrasive did with Drag'n'derp.

A decently sized cartridge battery will last something like 10 years before it needs to be replaced. The only time having a cartridge battery is a problem is if the battery has a too low capacity, or you choose an SRAM chip which is not meant for battery applications (not low power) so that it drains the battery too quickly. The typical will suffer from RAM corruption for other reasons before the battery runs dry.

Get a "Game Boy Micro converter connector". If you can find one nowadays.

That's just an adapter that would otherwise fit into an older GBA. You still need the Nanoloop adapter to complete the circuit:

I don't know if you ever figured this out, but Eagle allows you to explicitly define different grounds. Use add, then look under supply1 or supply2, and select for example GNDA for everything on the analog side. What this does is just to allow you to complete the board without having an airwire hanging, but it's the right thing to do.

The lsdsng format is actually the compressed blocks of one song, from the LSDj file system.

And no, there's no canonical format for individual intruments. This might be of interest however:

I believe there are one or two more similar projects.

Just the YT ID. atvtBE6t48M in this case.

Nope. It's exactly the same. Maybe you're thinking of the SGB which is 2.4% faster. However, this doesn't do you much good. as the CPU still sees the same thing internally. It has the same number cycles to complete all writes to video RAM etc, so it will just about the same.

Only advice I can give to the OP is to optimize your song.
