That's funny, Apple's doing exactly that with their new eBook publishing thing.

You're talking about something completely different. From the consumer's perspective it's a way of restricting your access to what you have paid for. From the content producer's perspective, they're not selling software to write books, as much as a full service book publishing platform and service. What you're suggesting would be equivalent to LSDj offering an online store for music created with the program.

Guys, I think you meant to say 11025, not 10025!

(I'm posting this comment here too...)

The 1.2 version could only partially read EMS carts, so it’ll be interesting to see if this revision makes a difference.

Nope. All the flashing action happens in the microcontroller software. The flash algorithms are fixed in the microcontroller code and can't be changed without a new firmware. The host application can only communicate via higher level commands, like say "read", "erase" and "write". It supports EMS cartridges "partially" in the same way as it supports game cartridges "partially".

Furthermore, I think this executable is badly compiled. First it crashed, complaining about missing D2xx type drivers. (There are two different types of driver for the USB serial used, VCP, virtual com port, and D2xx)

Ok, so I can deal with that. Then, crash 2.

Notice how the path to the Qt dynamic library is specified to be in that user's user directory and a few levels below. I'm not sure, but I think this will only ever work if you install the Qt library in the exact same directory.

Good advice! Some people just don't take it seriously.

NeX has been doing this for a while already (without the extra PCB.) There's at least one picture of how he attached it, but I can't find it now.

I think you have two options if you want this to be stable.
1) A threaded metal insert into the D pad and metal screw part on the stick.
2) Fixing the stick permanently to the D pad or molding a full replacement piece. (which probably means the thing can't be removed or inserted without minor filing of the D pad corners of the case.)

Consider contacting Matt (kitsch) or Anthony (Nonfinite) as they both are selling molded buttons already. They might be able to help you with production.

It's actually "want". The apostrophe has two uses in English:
1) Possessive case. "This is KeFF's Gameboy" and so on.
2) When some letters are omitted.
Don't = do not. Can't = can not. It's = it is.
Want on the other hand is a verb on its own and not a short version of something else. (That's why you "he wants" but not "he don'ts".)

It is indeed a bit steep. But I think they're trying to cover their costs/collect money for making a new batch after the Kickstarter failed.

You could mention somewhere that the Gameboys are using Arduinoboy/mGB, maybe with a link. This would technically satisfy the attribution requirement of the GPL I think. As it is now you're giving no attribution and someone who doesn't know could think you made all the software yourself.

For example, like this:
The Gameboys are powered by Arduinoboy/mGB. The NES is powered by Chip Maestro.

If he is insulted by it, why would I attach his name to it.

Because the license Arduinoboy is released under (GPL) requires attribution, among other things. The point of releasing something under a license like GPL is to set the terms straight without having to deal indivudally with every person who wants to use a piece of software.

I think he is being generous even to allow me to post it here.

I don't want to get deep into the politics of all this, but I'll clarify something trash80 said before. CM.O is not "his" place; it's everyone's place. He's the main administrator (and I'm the other one) but if either one of us think something about something, that doesn't make it the official policy of the site. As you may have noticed, admins and moderators don't have user titles or post counts beside people's post, and the point of this is to keep people from going on power trips for whatever reasons. The opinions of admins/mods have equal weight to anyone else's, except in the few situations when there's a rule violation.

http://keygenmusic.net/ is your friend. Click other in the left menu. Scroll down to X-FORCE. There's only a VMWare release listed, but it seems to be the same tune. Or at least very similar. Can't tell for your with your recording. tongue

If you're feeling adventurous, try to find the games and rip the samples.
