This is slightly off-topic, but these organizations are indeed dicky sometimes. Here's what happened to me lately. I have a video on YouTube where I'm playing around with my modular synth. This is filed under the category music. I got a copyright claim from "Music Publishing Rights Collecting Society", which is not any single organization, but an umbrella name for all these organizations. What this claim means is that this society will have the right to place ads on the video and collect money that way. Since this was not a performance of any musical work, and certainly not of any musical work associated with any rights collecting society, I appealed it saying the work had been misidentified (even though no song name was identified in the claim.) This immediately lead to the claim being revoked, saying all parties agreed to the appeal.
The only conclusion I can draw here is that these rights collecting societies have bots (or cheap paid monkeys) that pick YouTube videos marked as music, at random and make these claims. They know a big share of people will be too afraid (to lose their account or similar) to actually appeal the claims. So they get a small but steady revenue stream this way. All while not having to identify themselves or specify what the claim is for. I call bullshit on that.

Remind me to do a GB side utility which measures the exact timings the GB receives.

word, it's much easier and more practical to just have 2 usb carts and a laptop.
And/or LSDj with LittleFM, if only that nitro2k01 dickwad would make the program easier to install to a LSDj ROM.
I hate to play the devil's advocate, but how is the contrast in real life, ompared to, say, a green LED backlight?
The Gameboy CPU core is rather different from a Z80, and more akin to an Intel 8080, but still different. Even so, Gameboy is made up by its peripheral cirucitry, (which is all in the same chip) so you need to emulate that in full. If you have no experience with anything, you're quite frankly not going anywhere with that project. My best advice would be to save those Z80 chips and perhaps try to sell them at some point when someone needs them as replacement parts. The problem: you don't even know if they work and have no way to test for it...
What Bryface and Akira said. I don't agree with notion that just because music is a subjective experience, it's completely impossible to evaluate quality of music objectively. I (like most people I'm assuming) can listen to music I don't like and still say whether the song is good or bad. Even if the song doesn't "do it" for me, I can tell that whether the musician is skilled or not, and whether the song is skillfully made. But of course, these other two gentlemen expressed it much more eloquently than I.
The RAM was cleared in this instance. Sorry.

That's my pretentious attempt at doing something cool. An Arduino-based VCO. I made a quite imperfect resistor ladder DAC which got the bits wrong. So my sine wave ended up being not quite a sine wave. Which was more than ok for my purposes. The frequency response was also not quite 1 V/Oct (to say the least). This was also ok, since I used a Serge analog sequencer at the time. (Adjusting knobs, so the exact tracking didn't matter.) What I wanted to do next was a delay line, which failed because the Arduino kept crashing. Later I found out that the Arduino compiler doesn't do any checks whether you've allocated more memory than is available on the target, and that seems like the likely reason why I couldn't get it to work at the time. Now I feel inclined to try that again after a discussion on the SDIY mailing list.
It's probably gone, but you can try sending the file to me.

Ok, Then it's likely that there are no units without an FCC notice.
pulseflux: Thank you very much. I've already gained new insights from the data you posted. However. I would have actually wanted you to wait until I had all the questions ready, before starting to log everything on the units, to both simplify the process and get all the information that I want in one go. At this point I'm just looking to design a standardized form where everything can be entered easily.
There's one very specific thing I would like you to check at this point. On the very early units with G01 serials, (G01605439 and G01786434) I believe both will lack the CE and tüv marks, but will have the VCCI mark. But, what I want to know is if these units have an FCC notice at the bottom? (Complies with the limits for a Class B computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC Rules.)

But we're not comparing apple and apples here. Kitsch offers a much better tri-wing than the one I linked but if you are only going to use it once in a blue moon those deal extreme jobbies serve their purpose well. Some people can't afford to pay a premium for stuff like that, y'know?
A big plus for US folk, I guess, is the faster shipping time. The shipping time from DX with standard (free) shipping is typically 2 weeks, and I've had it take 4 weeks at one occasion. This was to Sweden, but still it gives you an idea of what to expect.
Btw, I'd strongly discourage you from using a flathead screwdriver and force. Even if it might work, you're going to wear out the screws, which might give you trouble later.
Vile wrote:I have a red PIL that has a serial with GH + 7 digit numbers.
Interesting! Where is this unit made? Is this written with a serif font? (The letters and numbers have little "things" on the edges and all lines are not the same width.) Could you give me two first digits after the prefix?
I'm creating an online form with a big bunch of specific questions. This form is not finished yet, The questions in my previous post are preliminary questions to help me design this form.
