Dreadfully interested in the tennis ball green cart.

Please post if you're interested in seeing this happen, since Mike needs to know there is support out there for him to be motivated enough to get this complete.

I know that for a fact most of the Sonic community would be into this. Is VGM going to be the only sound driver supported, and will it be possible to adapt this for other drivers later? The reason I ask is because some of my friends run a MD Dev wiki and are currently working on a cross-hardware sound driver that will support the Megadrive, CD, and 32X in a number of modes and configurations.

If you want to get into contact with my friends, please PM me.

Biverted screen:
- the image on the screen is inverted
- the plolarisation filter is turned 90 degrees
right?

I don't think you can see anything without turning the polarisation filter..

Ah. Didn't know you were doing it that way! What I am suggesting is that you purchase a biversion chip (like this one at kitsch's store http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/hex-dmg-v1) and wire it in, as well as returning your polarization film to its normal position. If you wire the power for the LED backlight as well as the hex inverter to the double pole double throw switch (acts as 2 switches operating in-sync essentially), you can set it to be backlight-off-and-no-inversion, or backlight-on-with-hex-inversion by flipping the switch. wink That is a small investment, likely to cost less than $15, that can remedy your issue with a little bit of handywork.

EDIT - not 100% sure of how well it would work using the kit I listed, but I do know that switchable backlights as well as hex inverters have been done before (but not at the same time).

Or, you could have a bivert chip hooked up to a double pole double throw switch, which when on allows the screen to bivert and for power to flow to the backlight. When it the screen turns off the switch also forces the biversion to revert. Nothing too crazy wink I bet it would be a solution worth looking at.

A friend of mine just gave me a SP that may have some water damage, speaker is shot and backlight/frontlight is dead. You can have it free as-is, or if you'd like I can crack it open and try to see what's wrong and possibly fixable. It is otherwise perfectly usable if you buy a headphone adapter.

If you reimburse me for shipping you can have it (has no charger, snag one from ebay for like $3.50).

But what about nanoloop????

To build on this, I think it has less to do with the colors and more to do with the methods for drawing the pixels on the screen.

Messaged you.

I'm someone who's experiencing this sort of transition right now - DJing a ton, starting to produce more in Ableton, spending less time writing exclusively chip material. Working on integrating 2 DMG's running LSDJ via Arduinoboy into my Ableton work, also trying to get my work on brass instruments involved. For me it's less of a "moving away" as it is defragmenting 3 separate musical identities I have.

It's too soon to say that I have truly moved, but I see myself heading in the direction of a production conglomerate.

It has a orange backlight and a post-pot prosound jack. I got it for $55. It was in my for-sale thread (which is how you got my green DMG wink). Of course, if you don't want to buy it, it's cool. I'll get rid of it eventually.

EDIT: accidentally a word

I have one, but it's a bit out of your expected price range (looking for $45+shipping)

The E command in the WAV channel acts as the volume setting in the instrument screen: 00 is silent, 03 is loudest. Works in tables too. Hope that helps.

Cheesy usernam checking in.

I actually chose this name so I could just wear all my Batman clothes and not have to design my own logo. Sometimes I regret it. Other times I don't (like when I wear my glow-in-the-dark trifecta Batman jacket, Batman tee shirt, and Batman belt buckle with matching logos)!
