Any plans for a similar event later this year?  I missed the boat on this one...

Thanks, vile. I was looking at kitch bent's prosound kit, which was $22, and was trying to see if there was anything cheaper.  Looks like your link does the job.  What does K-B's kit do that the nonfinite kit doesn't?  Looks like the K-B kit Is mounted on a board with a couple caps on it?

Glad to hear there is something I can do about the lines, from reading other threads I was worried that there wasn't much I could do.

I'm working with a DMG I picked up from an old neighbor, and it has a few issues:

- a few columns of pixels on the right handside are dead (not too bad for viewing the LSDJ interface),
- the right audio channel is very weak (not dead),
- there's static when i adjust the volume,
- there's background hum when LSDJ is not playing

I'm not worried about the pixel thing, but the audio quality, and especially the bad right hand channel, are annoying.  From browsing around, looks like the prosound audio jack mod will fix this, and perhaps a new cap kit.  Is there any repair i can do to the existing components, or am i stuck with buying new stuff?  Or should i scrap this dmg and look for a better one? 

I'd like to work with what I have and save a bit of cash, but if there's no alternative...

cheers,

That's what I was thinking would be the fallback option.  I got macports installed, and things went well up to the point of running the ems flasher.  I'm running os x 10.5.8, and it appears that the latest version is for 10.6.  I tried the oldest version on their site (0.2) and when tried to run it got this message:

dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022
Trace/BPT trap

Some hunting around seemed to point to the fact that it's a 10.6 version doesn't work for 10.5.  Does this sound correct?  Any last ditch ideas?  Otherwise, off to windows I go.

i did some searching, but all I found was a dead-end thread on 8bc.

in short, while trying to install lsdj from my mac (10.5.8), trying to run the terminal command "sudo port install pkgconfig" and getting the message in reply: "sudo: port: command not found"

how do i proceed from here?

cheers,
