This is not based in reality.
Leaded solder is generally easier to solder properly by hand because it melts at a lower temperature and it's eutectic, ie solidifies at a single temperature rather than having a transition range between its liquid and solid phase. You can get decent lead free solder nowadays, but as a general recommendation it still holds true.

Re: Separating channel signals Nanoloop Mono? (18 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I think that's what the pads on it are. One is ground, one is +5V, and the other three are probably the individual channel outs. That would require some soldering though.

Just a clarification: That's Nanoloop One, not 1.0. The Nanoloop One hardware run the Nanoloop 1.7 software.

Re: Nanoloop USB MIDI adapter not loading ROMS (4 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
You could also try using the original native application for Windows or OSX. It's not linked any more, but the files are still up on the server. It might be more stable than the web version.

Another thing to check for is if the pins of the link cable are pushed into the connector, which in my experience sometimes happens because of the pressure from the MIDI adapter.

Could you please indicate a more precise date for the deadline? thx
The deadline is a bit flexible, but the important thing is that the release needs to be finished well before Halloween, including programming, manufacturing the carts, and allowing for shipping time and any unforeseen events. It's not too late to apply at this point.

Re: Decoupling cap on DMG-01 question (5 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
A prosound mod is the single most effective thing you can do to reduce noise. If you're fine with not using this DMG directly with headphones (only for recording or through a mixer) and don't want to modify the case, you could prosound it through the existing jack.

Re: How many MODs are online? (8 replies, posted in General Discussion)
The torrent tracker offers some clue:
http://tracker.modarchive.org/
Some back of the envelope calculations: The 2007 snapshot is claimed to contain 120000 (hundred and twenty thousand!) modules and is about 30 GB big. 120000/30=4000 gives about 4000 modules per gigabyte of data. The addition packs for each year is about 1 GB and accounts for ~10 years, so that's another 40000 modules. Those are very rough numbers but that should give you an idea.
Although that's across all module formats, like xm, s3m, it etc, not just mod. Not sure if that's important for your statistics.

We are looking for songs that are newly composed for this compilation. We are asking for a portfolio or similar to be able judge your composition style. The reason being, since this is paid work, we prefer to discuss the details before the artists starts working on a song, to avoid a situation where the artist works for many hours on something that we ultimately can't accept. As Apeshit mentioned in the original post, you're still welcome to submit a song for the compilation without this step, but with the risk that it's not accepted for the compilation.

It has a link port on the front so anything that works on a regular GBA should probably work on the Player as well.

This is a forum for people making music using old computers and video game consoles. You probably won't find any advice regarding supercomputer chips here. Maybe try the EEVBlog forum.

Re: Can't ignore that site tag ESC :) (21 replies, posted in General Discussion)
The talking C is mostly me. The password is shared between all the admins, but in fact I believe only me and Tim have access to it now since we changed it after it got hacked. Nothing bad was tweeted or anything like that, but the account was suddenly used for following thousands of people. So that's some insight from the other side into how "buying Twitter followers" works.
Yeah, the tweet was mostly about the pun: dog, woof. I considered saying just woofer instead of subwoofer, to make the pun even clearer, but didn't. I often wonder if the puns (when the lines are puns) are too dry.
