Well, guess what. Johan foresaw this situation and removed the back button in one of the 4.x versions. And yes, as you might have guessed, it's more difficult to add a new button item than it is to replace an old one.

Now I'm not following you. To get into LFM you would first go into LSDj's own file manager, then press B?

Glad you asked. You can press sel+start+B+A, known from such games as Tetris and Zelda Link's Awakening. I might also include the ability to replace the load/save song menu item in the project screen.

If I understand what you mean by instrument swapping correctly, that won't be available. (Load just an instrument from a sav.) At least not in the near future. It's possible, but would be complex to code. And furthermore, clipboard won't be preserved when loading a new song. That's because LFM doesn't run "inside" LSDj, but as a separate app, so to speak. (LSDj will need to be restarted on exit and will clear all work memory on startup, including clipboard. Entering and exiting LFM is like turning the GB's power on and off.)

There are two things delaying the next release:
1) I want to add a replacement for LSDj's save function, which is annoyingly slow. If you've used LitteFM's load function, you know what I am. This is the on feature in the program that's missing for the next release atm.
2) I want to finish a patcher, which can patch any version of LSDj. That should get the "hard to use" aspect out the window. Distributing an IPS patch that only works with a single LSDj version is not exactly ideal. Then there's the next problem, so far I'm using Java to write this tool, so that's an extra problem for anyone who wants to use it. Of course, it's an easy to solve problem, but I should actually probably use something else to program the patcher.

Need I remind you I haven't actually produced anything yet? Don't mang me until I've produced a first sound from this thing.

Ok, I've gotten confirmation from doctor scale, and it does have the custom instrument, but it sounds a bit different, as seen earlier. Tmie to get to work, then.

The chips arrived safely. However, there's a small cloud in the sky. The date code says 1040, which means week 40 of year (20)10. This means that these chips appear to be clone chips. little-scale has written about this topic. And here's a video showing what a clone chip might sound like:

My worries, in particular, is that the one voice that can use custom parameters is missing or crippled to the point that it just sounds crap. Maybe little-scale has some insights on that. For all we know, this might even be a player, playing back recorded samples, or something like that.

The chips I have should still work, and I will abstain from judging until I've tested the chip, but maybe this won't turn out to be the perfect candidate for a modification like this, at least not the clones (which is what is available in quantity.)

Instructions will be posted upon the official release of the cartridge. It will probably involve such novel concepts as credit card payments an international airmail.
