Did it ever happen again? Did you write down the values? If it always happens, are the values consistent?

It's value is really dependent on if the cart has any prototype materials in it's rom banks
This model was a consumer product, not a development product so it's not very likely it would contain prototype material.

Only the top 1% of apps on the app store actually make any money at all. Millions? You're dreaming. We've made infinitely closer to $0 than $1M. We do it because we love it. We're just as broke as the rest of you plus we have no musical talent or training, so we have to humbly come to you and get mud thrown in our face.
We get it. You're poor too. But the problem with the original proposition was no payment AND exclusive rights. If you want to play nice, pick only one of the two. There was not even a mention of due credit to the artist. The original legalese didn't read "help a brother out" but "if we do make it big, we don't want legal trouble".

Come on, don't be so harsh on him. Is it too much to ask for to have someone work for free and then give away all their rights?

Re: bokusatsu shoujo koubou X MARU303 joint work ep relese!! (21 replies, posted in Releases)
The real spelling is fukuoka (well, at least when transliterated to the Latin alphabet) and the added C is obviously a play on a certain English language curse word. The question, rather was why they left out the second u when writing it in the special way.

you know im noticing you put a jumper wire between what looks to be a spot for a .1uf cap... it looks unnecessary.
That's not a place for a cap. That\s a place for a jumper wire or jumper pin for optionally powering the whole device from the Gameboy, through the link cable, if you have no other power source like USB.
But, like I mentioned, I would first solder all the pins of the pin header, and also to check if the microcontroller chip is oriented correctly, no joke.

awesome! question- does anyone no why these guys and like usk dont place the letter u when they spell fuckuoka? or am i missing something?
I think the second u is almost silent in practice. And also, fuckuoka could be read as "fuck u oka" and maybe they don't want that.

Re: Arduinoboy Troubleshooting (16 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
The LEDs should give you no trouble. Because of the resistor, the current is limited, and the circuit will work fine both if any LED is unfitted, or if it's shorted. If the LED worked when you tested it but stoped working when you fitted it (assuming everything else is ok) it's more likely that you inserted it backwards than that it's broken. Inserting it backwards can NOT damage the chip, however. Never insert diodes used as rectifiers the wrong way around, however.
I'm noticing a lack of solder. If the board is anywhere near decent quality, the holes will be plated through with copper, so that if you solder on one side, there should still be a connection through the hole. I'm however noticing that the pin headers are not soldered (right?) That means that there's no guarantee that all the pins will mate. You probably should solder all these in place. (I'm pretty sure you didn't solder them on the bottom as there's plastic in the way. 
)
Another thing you might want to check is that the microcontroller chip is inserted the right way around. It sounds crazy, but there are images, official product images even, all over the interwebz, where the chip is inserted the wrong way around. (Knuckleheads!) The chip should be inserted so that the notch is pointing "down" i.e. NOT toward the side where the USB and power connections are.

Re: Problem with my smartcard... (17 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Again, check what I asked you. Are your batteries fresh? Any corrosion on the battery contacts? That is, in the Gameboy, not the cartridge's battery.

Re: Gambatte save files (.gqs) to .sav (4 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
gqs and sav files are two different things. A sav file is the contents of the battery SRAM on the cartridge. gqs is a save state file. It is a snapshot of the full emulated state of the machine. It's as if you freeze the current state of the machine (memory, CPU, graphics) instead of turning off the "Gameboy".

Re: Problem with my smartcard... (17 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Oh, and another thing make sure you're not connecting the USB cable while the cartridge is in the Gameboy (whether or not the Gameboy is powered on.)
