I keep coming to this thread thinking "'Dying Plastics' would be a cool name for a band".

Those DMG's look beautiful. Especially love the RGB-Boy. Someday I'd like to try dyeing a Gameboy like that, minus the red. Someday...

This is a bit off-topic, but how do you guys do the "watermark" in the screen? Does that show through when you've got a game running, or is that a "game" itself?

soultron is a North Carolinian, so there's that. I'm in the NC, too, but I don't really count since I don't gig or anything.

I love "Game Boy Rock"! heart

@zaxxon: when they say the "the pot makes a crackling noise", they mean that the speaker crackles when you turn it, fyi.

Might help to eq externally. And/or forget about trying to make black gametalboy sound like real black metal and accept it for what it is, or don't and allow the torture of your futile  effort to fuel your music and sound design until you get.

Also, tune your gameboy to drop Db. And use all three melodic channels for rhythm chords and save lead for special occasions. Chipstep growl,-wubs (the ones that go eeyah and yowph and yuh) might help.

I'm using version 0.4.1, and yeah, I've already put in the 300 commands to compensate for the difference in the exported nsf. I'll post some clips later when I get the chance.

I'm not really sure if it's resetting after changing patterns, or if the bend is just really subtle. I'll experiment. But I do know that the bends are less subtle in Famitracker than in VLC, Deli, and NEStopia.

Edit: Thanks rainwarrior, I'll do that when I get the chance.

I've gotten into Famitracker a bit, and I've run into a dilemma with "pitch-bend to note".

It seems like Famitracker's handling of the 3xx command is different than in NEStopia and VLC and Deliplayer. With Famitracker, the 3xx parameter seems to reset after changing patterns or a note-off command, but when I export the NSF the bends seem slower and the command keeps going after a pattern change.

Which is more accurate to actual NES hardware?

I say just run a linux live cd and go to one of those virus infested sites and get it from there.

If the drop box fails you, you could try copy.com. You get more free space 5gb, and you get 5 extra if you register through my above link (and I get 5, also wink ). You won't have to worry so much about needing that space.

Just tryin'a help a brotha out.

Groovy. It's got a lot of soul. It reminds me a little bit of Fearofdark's style, but in a more minimal format, and more attitude. I can't help thinking of Donkey Kong Land 1 & 2 in the best way.

I thought "O\n Vacation" was going to just sound like your typical four-floor/1-2 beat wob stuff, but it's got a cool, interesting lightness to it, and a touch of disco that is fun.

Glad I gave this a shot. You should be more confident.

I detect a hint of hope from loneliness in that last track.

Oh, also, that was awesome. The Apple Beeper was my favorite. So much attitude in that little beeper. swag

You need to use the Project Sample Rate drop-down at the bottom of the window in Audacity, not the Track Properties drop-down in the individual tracks.

Or, if you have a copy of the old sndrec.exe, you could probably use that. smile
