Things I like: Programming, software and hardware hacking, codes/chipers, electronic design, telephone systems, gaming, arcades, having strong opinions on the definitions of 'nerd' 'geek' and 'dork', etc.
A lot more, really. I'm not going to list every nerdy thing I like. Suffice to say, I'm a nerd to the core.
Guess what I have sitting in my basement right now...
Pics and videos tomorrow.
You forgot to check "ignore BRK".
great project! Finally an intelligent use of those plastic guitars! Isn't it a bit limiting to have only a handful of buttons?
It can be, but you can get pretty creative with how to use the guitar. It does also have a two-axis tilt sensor that could be used for controller effects, filters, scales, etc. It's more difficult if you want to use it as a fully featured perfrmance tool, but you can do a lot if you just want to add something interesting to your songs or performances.
just did the mod and installed the right nsf playback stuff. expansions sounds activated!
this seriously sounds so great. such an easy little mod but with such big results.
quick question though... if i wanted a separate output for JUST the expansion sounds, which pin would i connect my audio jack to, 3 or 9? which is the out and which is the in?
While I may not be too helpful here - and I'm sure someone will give you the answer soon enough - but it would be easy enough to just try one and then the other. Using an alligator clip or something would make it pretty simple.
Mainly done with a Game Boy and a Kaoss Pad, though there is a small amount of traditiona piano. Really not my normal style, but it didn't turn out to bad at all.
Video done with Colors DS by Arisuki on a pink DS.
Best reporting ever.
Heh, I've met a bunch of those dudes. The Montreal scene is wicked.

I really would like to revisit the sync thing someday, it would be good to get it working properly but it relies on Arduino stuff and that's not my thing at all.
Would it be possible to make use of the additional controller port on the NES? If you modified a controller, you could use the various inputs to control the syncing. It wouldn't be too hard to splice an NES controller and a DMG link cable together. I'm not sure how LSDJ utiluzes the link cable for syncing, and you'd probably need a bit of simple electronics to get it to trigger the buttom presses on the NES, but this seems like a simple enough solution.
The same principal could be used for various control situations.
I think a GBC version might be cool because many chipmusic artists already have Game Boy flash carts, Super Game Boys, and SNESs.
And it might be cheaper to buy a Super Game Boy and EMS 64m GB cart(about $50) rather than a SNES PowerPak($140) for the SNES.
The Super Game Boy puts a big border on the image, so it's not quite as suitable for VJ work as using a Game Boy player for the Gamecube.
Would a Game Boy Color version be possible?
It's porbably possible, but it would make it difficult to use as a VJ tool, as you'd then need to use it with the Gamecube's game Boy player or something similar to output the video.
Not sure if it's something wrong with VirtuaNES, but the tempo tap feature in blargg's v8 does't seem to work. I'll try it out on my powerpack when I get home, though.

It's me using a GH guitar in a...creative way.
Anyone else have an experience using one - or Rock Band drums, or whatever else - as midi controllers or performance tools? Any suggestions as to new ways to do so?

I'll post the poster when it's done!
Pretty great sound coming out of that. I can't wait to hear what you do with it.
That sounds great! I can't wait to try it out in a track.
