LittleFM won't help for anything that's not LSDj anyway. At least not for the time being. Sorry.

This makes me think. If you're only ever using a flash cartridge like the Everdrive, you might consider ditching the slot entirely and soldering wires from the holes to the cartridge pins. Then you could store the cartridge PCB inside the unit itself. Not sure if there's enough space to do this properly and if you can prepare external access to the SD card/USB connector, but perhaps a method worth considering.

I missed that comment. That comment is moved out of sight too now. If people want to ask for female chip artists, that's ok IMO, but the comment you left would just have derailed the thread. Not everyone gets (or if they do, appreciates) the sarcasm.

No. There was an actual spammer posting in this thread, posting links to bed bug removal services.

If you want something knobby, maybe you should build one of these?

Away with the bed bug spam, and the posts commenting on it for good measure.

It relies on the GB program to send data formatted as MIDI. There's probably no software today that can actually make use of this functionality. (Trash80's modded LSDj version has a different protocol.) If you wanted to try if it works, I guess you could connect one NL adapter in MIDI out mode to another NL adapter in MIDI in, or an Arduinoboy in MIDI mode to an NL adapter in MIDI in mode to form a loopback.

It's actually dead easy as long as you've got the right tools. Look up drag soldering.  You'll need a fine, flat solder tip and solder paste but it's really quite simple.

If you look on youtube you can see the technique demonstrated.

That only works when you're soldering the chip to the PCB. When building this type of cartridge, the chip has a different pinout, and sometimes a different package, so what you typically need to do is to connect the chip with wires. See the pdf! This is doable, but requires a firm hand, a good iron, and preferably a microscope.

Since you mentioned me, what I'm doing is to connect the NES controller to the link port, to "talk" its protocol. This requires whatever software you're using it with to be designed for this method (or patched.)

Okay, but I can argue that when I say "my nigga" it's a super positive thing because if I ever say that about you, it means you're one of my closest friends.

Note that I said "when it's not used against other people", ie when used about non-living things. That makes all the difference. Calling a person fat is likely offensive in all events. And anyway, the comment was meant be light-hearted, so don't take it too seriously.

edit: though if its syncing to the computer, that seems weird..

I think he means the computer can receive the clock from the Arduinoboy...

But for the record, consider this - no one ever seems to give a fuck if and when anyone says negative things about fat people. I'll be the first to admit that I'm sensitive to that shit and it actually makes me uncomfortable when I read it. I feel like it isn't usually covered in these sort of things because it's a choice or whatever, but still, you can't pick and choose what hurts people.

At least when it's not used against other people, it's typically a positive stereotype. (Fat beats etc.)
