(there wasn't much of a selection, this was Alabama after all)
Are you still in Alabama? I am always in the Tuscaloosa area, and home is in Birmingham. Roboctopus lives up in Madison.
This will be awesome to use with the graphics ROM NItro recently released. Thanks bud!
i have a hunch thats a mash-mods frontlight kit, and not a pull. just from the timeframe of it's being used/installed.
For reference, it was mentioned in the documentary that there was a bit of backlight envy at the time it was filmed, something along the lines of "He had some guy crack the Gameboys open and put lights in all the screens." And yeah, it was probably mash-mods when you also consider what other internal lighting options there were.
White is the rarest of the PIL series. Obviously that seller on eBay has his hopes set high though. $280 for that white DMG is not worth it if you look at the pictures closer. The thing is very dirty and that switch on the bottom is badly installed.
The second picture is from Reformat the Planet. This is the exact Gameboy Nullsleep used during his interviews. I messaged him about it, and it was part of a batch of like 4 or 5 Gameboys he had sold and has seen float around ever since. I remember flipping out over it and posting these pics on Facebook. The giveaway was the lightswitch on the bottom.
I think what venoSci is inquiring about has to do with using the Flash2Advance on the DMG/GBP/GBC with the GB-Bridge. It is worth a shot, I remember that people used to snatch these up in like 2007 to have multiple LSDJ sav's on one cart (before Little FM was a big thing). Please try flashing the cart and using the GB Bridge and reporting the results. I have been dying to know if this is truly possible.
I think encouraging the masses will continue to make music will yield us new talent, minds, hands, eyes, and ears.
Music is relative. Some of what J.S. Bach wrote is absolutely atrocious and is never played live by an ensemble except to demonstrate that sometimes masters stray from their "true sound" too. Some of us praise Bach, others don't care for him, some people don't even like classical music. And guess what? Even if you don't fall under that umbrella you are capable of making good music. What sounds good now may be hard to listen to for future generations, and vice versa.
However, I have noticed that the best song writers and composers have a very firm knowledge of what sounds they can create and how they can use them. If you have another artist's source files for a song (especially for LSDJ or Famitracker) you know exactly what I mean.
Raymond 2013. Be there or be Ware.
I think this limiting thing is a great idea. Much like how when you want to brag to an employer, you don't always want to bombard them with your full resume (your bandcamp+soundcloud discography), sometimes you just need to state your most recent or main defining details.
I think it is a classy move, listen to 5 songs that a user chooses to upload and that be their self-defined sound for this site.
I've got the email cartridge hooked up to my DSL modem, I too am having issues pulling up music. I think if I try playing the songs through a tube amp on my Gameboy things will sound much better once they fix this no-music thing.
Hammond m2 organ for that awesome tonewheel sound.
Well, you've made my mind up for me. I want to be YOU of all the people in this world. I want an M2 sooooooooo baddddddddddd.
Did this ever get posted here? Sorry if it did, but I don't think it did. Just found this over on nesdev tonight. Unfortunately I'm on Linux and haven't tested it, but it looks super awesome. Also on the page are patches for many games that previously wouldn't save on the cart. So here you go, and post your results.
NOTE: This shouldn't solve any of the driver issues.
http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/9501/ … hat-is-it/ I posted about this maybe 3 months ago and it didn't get much attention. It's a rather heroic piece of software, but it does not support true multiple save file support.
It basically takes the save memory and treats it like a bookshelf, where you can have multiple books (saves) on a shelf. Previously we were allowed only one "book" per shelf, so this is a big improvement. You can fit somewhere between 2 and 8 saves on here, maybe more, depending on what games you have loaded (different games save different amounts of data). However, it does not fix the driver issues with Windows 7 and it does not allow for multiple LSDJ saves. LSDJ uses the entirety of the working save memory I'd bet, so there's no room for other saves.
Something I found immensely useful was being able to swap pages with a few button presses. I have an EMS cart that refuses to switch pages through power cycling, and this was the perfect workaround. With this software I now use my EMS cart exclusively for games, other carts are for LSDJ. 3 months strong so far of using the software, I haven't had any issues so far.
Like Saskrotch and 4mat said, your best bet is either handwriting and putting in tons of work for one song in MML or just going for Carillon Tracker. I've taken a look at the code for the LSDJ-MML converter, and I can barely make heads or tails of it. I know that the Handheld Heroes DVD + GB ROM release featured some sort of LSDJSNG player, I think it is similar to what the Derpcart had but it had a new graphical menu in place of the normal LSDJ one (with some bells and whistles). You can get a look at it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IvyJO3BXbs I don't think this is what you are going for, but it is something to use for reference in terms of basic function, I guess.
If I were in your shoes I would sit down and punch it into Carillon for the dude. He can also compare the sound of his own emulator to the "stock sound" of games such as Project S-11, which was mentioned recently in the "best Gameboy Sountracks" thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7BkkmPhBm4 this sort of stuff in my listening experience goes much farther into the core of Gameboy sound than any other commercial releases. The use of bandpass and overtones in the WAV channel especially make my brain work to understand how it all sounds how it does.

That is just how I'd go about doing this, but there have been some amazing suggestions here! Can't wait to see what some other people can come up with 
if some clever person can think of a quick fix, lemme know
On it, sending you a mega email tonight, also.
Come on! I somewhere read on this forum of someone willing to do this.
You should probably up your offers a bit, maybe offer a price you are willing to pay and if you are willing to negotiate. Good luck!
I too use Audacity. I like it.
Keep in mind, we are extremely limited to things such as button press speeds YOU define in your copy of LSDJ, and we can't invent new shortcuts, only automatize them (rather quickly 
). The SNES controller L and R thing is something I suggested since the select and start buttons are placed centrally on the controller, unlike the lower NES and GB placement.
Really curious to see what macros you guys can think of, we need to go beyond copy and paste if possible. think about ergonomics and workflow, you all will probably have more insight than myself or kitsch haha.
