Re: Resistors - Does the direction matter? (9 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
it's good practice to be consistant with the direction of your resistors on the board simply because it looks neater and is easier to read their colour codes if you need to troubleshoot

Ohhhhhhh shit wait I thought you meant GBC vs DMG. I've had one of the GB Boys and they aren't great. They don't handle pitchbends correctly if I'm remembering correctly and sample playback is trash. Possible they've been updated since I had one.
Ah right, good to know. Still curious, and yeah I think there are various versions (tho probably pot luck which one you actually get, ha)

Re: "GB Boy Color" sound quality / any good for chipmusic? (16 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
There is a difference but whether it's better or worse is a matter of taste. If you're sending it thru eq, effects, etc or recording into a daw it doesn't matter since you can adjust as needed.
Thanks, so long as there's not some horrible screen whine or anything. I guess if I needed to correct pitch could also do the precision oscillator pitch control mod, guessing it would work the same way as a real GB

Yeah I know it's definitely not official Nintendo it's "GB Boy Color', a well known bootleg gameboy That's why I want it, I love weird bootleg stuff, just wanted to know if the audio quality is OK... I don't mind it being a bit different sounding but would be good to know ifit's for any reason completely incompatable with music roms, or sounds drastically worse than normal GB/GBC
There are reviews online but not from chiptune people so they don't go into the audio all that much
Bought several repro/fake game cartridges on aliexpress (rare/unpublished games, and also cheap pokemon bootlegs which I use to re-flash with GBxCart) and the quality seems really good

Seem to be a load of these on Aliexpress cheaper than last time I looked, wondering if anyone knows how the sound quality is, and generally if they work OK with Nanloop/LSDJ etc? I read some reviews which say game music pitch is (sometimes) different which i guess could be a problem (if I wasn't a harsh noise artist ha)
Interested to hear any experiences thanks!

Re: NES AUDIO TOOLS (make music using your NES!) (17 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)
Thanks for this! been looking for more NES music stuff to emulate on DS. Especially thanks for the reminder about Dezaemon, wanted to try that for years, just googled and found an english-translated rom
Aw doesn't look like NESDS supports NES 2.0 tho which is a shame, will have to just try the ones that need that on the computer
Here's an interesting one for the list: http://ploguechipsounds.blogspot.com/20 venes.html

haven't really seen much done with reBoy
http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=50652
reply to an ancient post on a near-dead forum I know, but I tried ReBoy a couple of times and was like 'this sounds amazing but is absolutely unusable' but then recently found version 1.1a which is actually borderline playable. Still super limited but at least you can go back + forth between options! + some other features added. Shame it won't seamlessly switch between saved loops tho.
ALSO there's no compiled rom, you have to compile it using the included little PC app (i got it working fine using Winebottler on mac) which allows you to add custom samples!!! (filename format and sample rate info in the txt file must be followed)
got Pulse X samples, donks etc in my version now need to make some super lo fi grime tracks.

I should be working so of course i'm hunting down obscure dead-site GB music roms instead -__-;
Does anyone have "GB Synth" by Alec Jahn, as featured in this german video?
