Also, lol at "YO"

Edit: I have a question: As someone who hasn't used a wide variety trackers in-depth... are there any trackers out there in which the interface is as simple to immediately begin entering notes?

Edit: This'd be good for some game maker kid wants to make a little tune for his homebrew game and doesn't want to go through all the hassle of conventional trackers which give you so much power.


I like the "wav" option to export the tune.

It could be a cool entry stage tool. I like the user-friendliness of the basic interface, it's fairly easy on the eyes what with the grid-lines. In the few minutes since this was posted, it's served as a useful tool for me to transition from LSDJ to mouse+keyboard based trackers. I actually like it. It's easy, simple, and approachable, though it seems a bit limited.

What with all the myriad of trackers and chiptune tools out there that were made while there were existing tools already in existence, I don't see why this deserves any hate. Or do people still care about fakebit?

Main problem I have is that it's missing at least a triangle and a saw. =\ Need more than sines and squares...

Edit: Yeah, without looking at the demo video, it seems pretty useless for anything other than simple bleep bloop tunes. Nothing to write home about. It's not bad, though. Interface is a good enough reason for new tools to crop up, I suppose.

You could always sell the rest of the broken unit minus the speaker to a DiYer who'd need the other parts.

You wouldn't have to destroy the perfectly working GBC if you used a screwdriver to open it, right?

the psp replacement speaker sounds like a good idea, though.

Hm. I had some problems with running programs when I first installed ubuntu, but I think it was a problem with wine.

It always seems weird to me that two people can have a fresh install of the same exact operating system, yet one can do things the other can't, and it's usually the new "updated" version that can't.

This won't help you with getting piggy in your pi, but a google search netted me these two results in regards to the ubuntu libsdl problem.

http://askubuntu.com/questions/143393/s … ls-to-open
http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=490.0;wap2

I don't know if that's relevant, but there's lots more results for a google search of "libsdl-1.2.so.0 open failed no such file or directory"

This is a quote from my thread about trying to get KiGB working right in ubuntu. Whenever I tried to get KiGB running it gave me the "no such file or directory" error until:

The KiGB homepage is no help. They don't even mention the fact that you need libstdc++.so.5 to even get the thing to run ANYWHERE in their documentation or website. I had to run some "ldd" command or something to find out what why it wouldn't even execute. And ubuntuforums.org likes to ignore my questions for some reason, and KiGB doesn't even have a forums, and no contact info listed on their homepage.

Are you sure you have satisfied all dependencies? Maybe there's something you're missing. Are you able to run any other non-repository binaries?

honestly man, do what's easiest. the difference is so minute that you wont even notice it. If you like sitting at a desk and hitting away at a keyboard, use your computer. if you like sitting on your couch mastering through tv speakers, then use your wii.

really, man.

Not to mention you could use a USB Game controller (if you can find one $14 bucks at radio shack) or XBOX 360 controller if you find the keyboard to be awkward.

I once added a Wii to my set, emulating MuddyGB through VBAGX and controlling it with a DDR pad.
While I played a keyboard along with LSDJ/DS-10.
It looked ridiculous, but it was amazing and everyone loved it.

That's awesome! clips...?

You've tried running it in Ubuntu? You haven't gotten it to work with that either?

No, but seriously... Megaman Zero series, Megaman BN (I'm not sure which one is best, only played 1 and 2), Gunstar Heroes Advance (or w/e it's called), maybe Ninja 5-0 and definitely Hello Kitty Happy Party Pals (for the music >_>)...



I never really played too many GBA games. hm.

YES! SO glad Rolling Man made the list. I lorrve Rolling Man makes me lolling man.

Ah... so the "M" stands for "Mad"... sad I've been saying "Dr. Maniac" and "Dr. Miley" all this time... sad

Edit: Hmmm... so... I dunnoo... that Rolling Man thing seemed way too long to just be playing the intro over and over again... =\ What about the rest of the song? sad

But "Go Go Rokko Chan" was pretty cool, though. Gonna have to listen to the rest of it later...

I will never understand why Linux users like to do everything from the command line...

I'm not familiar with any distro besides Ubuntu, but why do you type "./lgpt.rpi-exe" shouldn't be enough to simply navigate to the directory and then type "lgpt.rpi-exe"? That's how I always run programs from terminal.

From what I've read here, horizontal lines are nigh impossible to get rid of as opposed to vertical ones.

Thanks bro smile

Though I must warn you: That pack comes with a WHOOOOOLE lot of effects, and will make your list of effects cumbersome to navigate if you're on a WIndows machine. The Linux version has them all nicely shelved in side-pop(?) menus.

I'm sure there's a way to get rid of the ones you don't need, though.

Make sure the lgpt.deb-exe is in the "bin" directory. The last time I downloaded LGPT the zip (or was it rar?) file had the executable in the wrong place (the root directory of the program instead of the bin).

I figured maybe they just wanted to add a small amount of the "DiY" aesthetic that Linux users seem to be drawn to, lol.

I mentioned it on the irc (and I think shot them an email, too) so I don't know if that's been fixed or not.

I just upgraded to Cubase LE, the 2004 version big_smile It's got a weird layout, way different than Audacity. I only made the change because Audacity's reverb is complete garbage. If you record dry, Audacity is perfect. smile

Haha. That was very weird.

In b4 animated "meme" version with Megaman characters.

Wow, that is some serious bass, dude.

That's just something I've been wanting to do ever since I heard about LSDJ (I was going to post a feature request for it until I heard of MuddyGB). I personally like the live "instrument" performance element myself, and kind of wish it happened a bit more often with Gameboys.

It could possibly be a good way to get a foot into the "one simply does not perform electronic music" door/sell your soul. Or maybe not.

I've sold my soul by strictly playing dance music and playing my tracks with smooth transitions, like a DJ would (like Henry Homesweet would, actually). Judge me however you will.

No judge. That's between you, yourself, and yourn. I don't really think it's that serious unless you want it to be. :T

I wonder how it would work out if, during a live show that is also being ustreamed, the chatroom was projected onto a wall. It'd be like being there.
