IIRC you only need to power the cradle for the USB hub to work. There's also no power regulation so all it takes is the wrong adapter over 5v to fry the USB.
Everything else should work without power and are directly connected to the EXT port.

Re: Alesis Multimix 8/General Mixer questions (2 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
1-4 are mono and can be panned to send to the left or right. Very very few pieces of gear use TRS inputs for stereo, and if they do it will be outlined in the manual or they would be labeled as stereo inputs. In this case the 1/4" TRS inputs mean they can take a balanced mono signal, which some synths and most audio interfaces can provide via 1/4" TRS or XLR outs. You can of course also use TS cables on those inputs.
With a gameboy or whatever with just a unbalanced stereo 1/8" out, you would use a 1/8" stereo to dual 1/4" TS cable. That would give you the two mono 1/4" TS for left/right. those would take up two mono channels of the mixer. pan left/right for stereo.
Anything sent to the aux send buss will be mono (it's sent before the pan comes into play in the signal path), sent out the jack, and then can return with mono (if only the L return is used) or stereo (for instance if you have a ping pong delay).
Most patches should work fine for L in only on the kaoss pad.

Re: After market parts with logo being confiscated (6 replies, posted in General Discussion)
There is a difference between selling old-stock parts made or licensed by Nintendo (OEM), unlicensed after market replacement parts, and after market replacement parts that also infringe on trademarks.
Unless you know the specifics of what and how the person was selling, you can't know for sure what risks there are or if they are the same as theirs.
If you don't have documentation that a replacement part with the Nintendo logo is actually authentic, you run the risk of legal action. Nintendo may not pursue unlicensed products as aggressively as they used to, but it doesn't matter - putting a Nintendo logo on anything without permission is illegal and your house/warehouse being raided is a possibility. That doesn't mean it's likely without selling massive quantities of product, but yes it does happen to people making/selling infringing products.
Even grey market import OEM parts may not be entirely protected by the first sale doctrine (which you allude to) depending on various aspects of how they're sold.
If someone had Nintendo products seized they were most likely bootlegs and not actual OEM parts. The worst case scenario for selling counterfeit goods/trademark/copyright infringement is you go to jail and lose all your money. Sending a cease & desist letter first is entirely up to the legal counsel of the company that owns the rights.
Patents and their enforcement are an entirely different can of worms, and different aspects of a product can be covered under various patents that may or may not still be active.
plain and simple.
Infringement and IP cases depend on an insane number of variables, so most issues don't have plain or simple answers.

Re: After market parts with logo being confiscated (6 replies, posted in General Discussion)
If you are using a trademark without permission (i.e. illegally) you are inherently making counterfeit goods. It's illegal and U.S. Customs can absolutely confiscate them. All imported goods go through customs. A factory knowingly putting an unlicensed trademark on a product can also be held liable, but in China many of them don't care.
Whether the trademark owner requests special attention by CBP is up to themselves. Nintendo has a long history of going after unlicensed products.

Re: I need an honest critique of my remix (2 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)
1. this is a cover not a remix
2. it's missing the percussion which keeps the entire track moving forward, especially the woodblock on the back beat.
3. either bring the vocal line up an octave so it stands out, or don't make every voice sound exactly the same. the latter is a better option.
as is it sounds like a chiptune player piano version of the song. technically the sequencing is completely fine, it's what you left out that's the issue.

Re: External switch between two internal link cable inputs (4 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
use a switch to send power to either TCPOKE or the arduinoboy.
that way only one MCU is ever drawing current at a time.
