Other things you can do is making your "volume" levels for your WAV instruments seem lower (frostbyte know more about this than  do).

Also - you might want to look at adding some sort of tubes for extra warmth or adding some different capacitors.

Yeah, probably wrote it in Visual ASM 2011

Megaman II port is in the works. This thing shows promise.

When people insert these "startling" key changes, it is often during a calm of the storm, or at a climax. In my track "Mourning Glory" I step down from E minor/E phrygian to D minor simply by throwing a fat D in the bass while having my chords up top from the E part of the song. It creates some dissonance, but it works fine. 8 bars before there was a lot of melodic activity, but when the bass comes in there is no melodic motion. I chose calm before the storm for that transition, by changing keys before introducing new notes and ideas to the song. You don't have to be so gradual however.

One last thing - LSDJ can create a ton of different sounds, and always remain uniquely Gameboy. Use this to your advantage when changing genres or styles. Key changes stick out a bit more due to having 3 tonal channels, but it is definitely possible with musical buildup or release.

Fact - kineticturtle's avatar is the inspiration for the album I am working on. And in a roundabout way your excitement for it based on a photo of some horns has me working super hard. Seriously.

Also - words cannot describe the acts I owe Solarbear in form of rent at BRKfest, his general generosity, and the fact that his encouragement is 80% of the reason I didn't quit chipmusic back in November.

On that note, does anyone know how to alter clock speed on a Super Game Boy? It's not controlled by the same kind of crystal, is it?

I have a couple I need to pro-sound, and while I'm in there, I might as well…

Disconnecting the SNES clock source (which the Superboy derives its clock speed from), substituting its connection for a switch that is hooked up to a standard DMG crystal and a half clock crystal should suffice.

I think that the odd sticker orientation, the case seeming a bit more transparent than normal, and the booklette seeming to have no pages (but it may just be the angle). It's ten dollars I would rather not spend, because anyone selling this game nowadays will be asking for at least $20 typically.

They exist, but they aren't common. This is one sent to me to frontlight and prosound by BoomGlitch (it's heading his way in the mail tomorrow).

Another thing - I have noticed that my ribbon cables on some DMGs are particularly sketchy, and only work when bent a certain way. You may want to investigate that, because when my bad cables make bad boots they resemble yours.

North Alabama.

I hope you have met Roboctopus, he lives in Madison.

I'm in the Hoover/Birmingham/Tuscaloosa zone depending on whether I have school or not.

Is the DMG in the demo video for sale? It's gorgeous. big_smile

Probably not hmm Justin has DMGs that use other parts of cases that compliment his yellow-blue=white color scheme, and they have all sorts of things done to his liking. However, it's probably not too hard to make your own in a similar style wink

I have one, and it definitely sounds like the GBA, not the GBA SP. Buyer beware, the WAV channel can sound funny (like on the Gameboy Color) sometimes. But the audio itself IS really clear.

Forget about it. Get the 1200 asap. Or CCDM will beat you up like he does his Canadian soccer samples.
