It seems like the domain returns an empty A record, i.e. the domain name doesn't look up to an IP address. I would like someone who can still access the site, to do the following in order to get me the IP address:
Start, run. "cmd" This opens the command prompt. Run the command:
ipconfig /displaydns > dnslist.txt
This creates a file called dnslist.txt which contains all currently cached domain names. Open this file and look for wayfar.net and tell me the IP address.
Damn, is this going to turn into a race between me and Johan?
Does the device show up in the Windows device manager?
edit: Oh, you mean ucp.ept. Yeah, teh zip files are both called ucp.zip but they are different. ucp.ept is the aforementioned configuration file. You can try to do the mprog procedure if you want. But first, again, see if the cartridge shows up in the device manager.
I think you are confused. MProg and UCP are completely different things. MProg is used to reprogram the settings for the FTDI USB chip on the cartridge. Normally you only need to do this if you encounter certain issues.
UCP (USB cartridge programmer) is what you use for programming the actual cartridge.
There's also really no difference between cartridge revisions. What Jose did was to fake firmware version returned from the cartridge if you're using the new version of UCP. (The actual version is 2.x something, but the program shows 3.0 iirc.)
Anyway, these links should solve your problem.
This is the UCP software.

Also download the latest version of the FTDI USB chip driver from here. I believe this is especially needed for 64-bit versions of Windows. But even otherwise, I recommend upgrading for stability reasons. This is not just a general piece of advice, but the newest version contains a fix in the driver that can crash the computer if disconnecting the cartridge while data is being transferred.

i woudl share OGGS but bandcamp prefers FLACS and FLACS are what i use personally for my music collection so that is nice for me
maybe FLACS is overkill for some thing like Chip Music.org though
Bandcamp prefers a lossless format because the user has the option to choose a compressed format to download. Transcoding from one lossy format to another potentially degrades the audio quality, so they prefer a lossless source to derive the lossy formats from.
Planned feature for LittleFM, although I don't have an ETA for when this might be implemented.
48/24 and 96/24 make sense for storing an original recording and processing audio, if you want to avoid artefacts or so. For distributing audio for listening, there's really no reason to go above 16-bit (if your format can use bits; the concept of bits typically doesn't exist for lossy formats), or 44.1 kHz/48 kHz.
48 Mhz would be pretty gnar, though.
Well, as it turns out, hz is a different unit than Hz. 1 hz is defined as 1 mHz (one millihertz). So 48 Mhz ends up being 48 kHz after all.
It depends on the kind of music you make, so keep experimenting. From the sounds of things, I suggest trying different encoders. When I want to encode something quickly, I usually go with 192kbps mp3s, from 48Mhz 16-bit sample renderings.
*Hu-hum*
48 kHz.
And you should probably avoid this for online use, as Flash tends to prefer 44.1 kHz. (Maybe this was only true for older versions of the player, though.)
lets just let An1 decide what we do and be done with it. Everyone loves Ant1. Also where Gnarsauce at. Hot soxy babes anyone ? arrr memories. also the people saying "there are a lot of cool artists that really mostly did singles, and would chart from time to time". ( Jredd or SkipsandwichDX or Doomsberry Fearofdark ), ......i get this and sort of agree. but then i just think, stop being lazy fucks. 'Singles collection' whack that shit on bandcamp for gratis problem sold. Id be very happy to stumble across FOD release on the releases section here. i mean it was nice getting the odd track but releases are better. There are many people are had in my '8bc random' folder that i goggled recently, and it wasnt hard to find that most had net label releases, tumblirs,soundclouds, releases on bandcamp etc.....and as i said before, i found more shit off a tangent from that, stuff those people had commented on on soundcloud etc.....i think if there was gonna be any system here....then favouriting tracks would be quite nice. but as said before you'd only see that from looking on beans profilez yo. anyway you can find lots of dope shit on my soundcloud. look at who i am following, you ll see its all dope cos im cool. im doper than dope and certainly doper than Will.i.am yo.
ant1?
This is like those jokes on dubstep videos on YT, about needing to take a shower because the drop was so dirty, only the whole song, and actually dirty.
6502 is easier to get into than z80.
Hmm, I wonder... I always found 6502 to be a complete brainfuck, although I've heard it's more powerful when you do know it well.
So, how should I put this... I'm in the camp that supports there being some form of active rating mechanism. (Likes, 5 star rating or similar.) I think the idea behind the current system is that everyone should have equal opportunity, and preventing favoritism. However, there are two problems. For the listener, if you don't have the time and will to browse through 20 songs, it's practical to have some form of quality screening. And if you're an uploader, some form of reward is an incentive to upload good music. As unfortunate as it is, 90% of music uploaded is going to suck (or at least not blow anyone's mind). A rating system can help bring attention to those other 10%.
I can see certain specific problems with a rating system, which could be solved with some tweaking of the rules. Sockpuppet accounts: restrict voting to people who have a certain amount of activity in the forums or similar. Favoritism: If a person reaches the top 3, restrict them from reaching top 3 for the next x weeks. And so on. I do think some form of rating system would be good for the site.

I think.
Yes. Awkward Terrible did the USB flash drive game boy cart too. People donated games to us and also pre-ordered got colored cartridges (yellow, blue, red, gold, silver).
(Someone else's flickr photo that I found via google).
Now this would be cooler if it was a working GB cartridge with the album on it, AND a flash drive on the other side containing MP3s.
gameboy n00dz or gtfo
NEVAR! This shirt aint coming off in public!

How so? The battery LED is dead (or too dim to be visible) and the DMG is running ZOMG GAEMS, but other than that I don't see a problem.
