I'm a huge fan of Rhythm Core Alpha and Rhythm Core Alpha 2 and for what it's worth I'd support any of those options (okay, I'm not going to be buying a PS4 or Xbox One any time soon but all other platforms I own and use).
If you're looking to go the hardware route you it might make sense to turn it into a shield for the Arduino, Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone. That way you can keep costs far lower and take advantage of the massive maker communities behind them. Even if you aim to sell production models in music shops, it gives you the flexibility of selling kits as well.
Wow, it's pretty gorram powerful. Only played with it for a short while but thanks a bunch for the heads up!

Never name a song.
Never use any mode other than Greek Mixolydian.
I've had it a couple times, once was an easy fix and the other time took me months of them literally not reading my claims at all.
I submitted a song that I just recently finished although I have played it at a couple shows since finishing it, hopefully it still qualifies as "new" and "unreleased".
The album that it will [potentially] eventually be a part of is nowhere near done. 
Shoot me a message if you need any help.
Edit:
Noticed someone posted my pcm2pwm software. I'm not sure it's exactly what you're looking for but might get you most of the way there. I think there are instructions on the use of the software and it's output. It's designed for use in some older CPU assembly code but I'm sure you could format it however you'd like. However, the output is a differential format used for latch audio and not necessarily what you want.
It's still 1-bit audio but it depends on what your 1-bit DAC is like. If it's a "true" 1-bit DAC then my code will work fine for you, if you have a more advanced delta-sigma modulator sort of setup then you'll need to write a little program to do the conversion. WAV files are extremely easy to parse byte by byte, so writing a little C program to convert to whatever format you need should be quick and painless.
I have a raspberry pi running dosbox, it runs fine for the old trackers I'm using (fast, scream, impulse, adlib). I have a model b set to the highest "overclock" (1Ghz).
Any software, modules or other things you want me to test on it?
As you approach 15 feet you'll get more data loss, your best best is to test how long you can go before unacceptable loss occurs. If you want to go longer than that you'll need one or more repeaters.
Why not buy the PROM cart from Kitsch, remove the socket and solder directly to the PCB? That way you'll be able to fit it inside a regular cart. Kitsch is super cool and might even be able to hook you up with RAW PCBs or do bulk order discounts.
The added advantage there is that you'll have a socket for use with revision testing/debugging, too.

You can always run Fasttracker II.

So the residual life beyond their obsolescence is already 15+ years depending on how you look at it. That thought makes me feel a little better in regards to long term availability.
This is a perfect example of all the issues I have been having. For floppies I need double density, preferably 5.25 inch, since I have the drive already, but even a DD 3.25 readily available in stores would make me smile (even if they are in rough shape). CF cards are available relatively cheap at present, but those are different than the ones for the 20 year old guy I am trying to use them with. Also SD/SDHC/SDXC and mini/micro are the same problem: with lack of forward compatibility these SD carts are hard to feed in x years.
The difference is lifespan. An SD card is more robust technology than a floppy disk. If you buy a brand new floppy disk and a brand new SD card today, the SD card will last ten times as long as the floppy (I'm not talking about bit rot, I'm talking about the usability of the medium).
SD cards (both SD and SDHC) are far more ubiquitous than floppies. Computers, digital cameras and phones are far more popular these days than computers were back in the days of the floppy disk and I'd be willing to bet that far more SD/SDHC cards were made than floppies were back in the day.
What version of libusb package does your computer have installed currently?
Yeah, you could easily bolt on a tiny little screen and use a small bluetooth keyboard/mouse to make it more portable, but I don't see a major advantage over a laptop.
He's saying that without a monitor (which is not generally very portable), it'll be tough to use a Mac Mini.
$140 for a cart that'll store every game you'll ever want and will last decades doesn't seem to be a bad deal.
I do a lot of live performances in which I need to use vintage hardware (C64s, Atari STs, Game Boys) and I can tell you that spending a little extra on more reliable equipment is totally worthwhile. An EMS cart is great for someone who is getting started and if you back up often it's not likely that you'll ever lose a lot of data, but if you're on stage when an EMS cart shits itself you can't just tell your audience "hang on, I'll just plug it into my computer...I have a backup...just a few more seconds..."
For live performances using EMS carts I always have 2-3 cartridges with identical sav images loaded, if one dies I can immediately slam another one in. With a more modern device like the DnD or the Everdrive these concerns are vastly marginalized. Sure, it's still $60 more expensive but it's worthwhile.
