I'm actually attempting their internal battery mod over the next few weeks or so. From what I understand, it's not a great idea to use the older Sega PSU to charge the newer batteries due to the inefficiency.

Does your nomad output a lot of noise on the headphone/av out? I recapped and cannot figure it out. I read that it was just something you have to live with.


For those who don't know - take a chance on downloading the free show sampler at the end of this post. You'll be glad you did.

OK, I hope Lo-bat wouldn't be against this...
Here is the music:

Not gonna debate the ethics of sharing his music as a shadow account, but id defo consider changing the license on all those tracks to the more restrictive all rights reserved, before the tracks end up in some dumb student game.

Or, you know, some dumb student pseudo goth hipster band.

Purely LSDJ?

So has anyone actually tried the old prodigy ROM on hardware? I'm getting a black screen with a single white bar for number entry on a Nomad with Mega Everdrive x3.

What's the last known working version of YMDJ/Prodigy/Chaos on hardware?

Why so much hate on the brightness buttons. Dont any of you guys take a backlit dmg to the beach? lcd screens behave different in natural light. I wont have to keep an unmodded dmg anymore. The variable brightness may be able to do better than a contrast wheel (imo)... OP show us how it looks at the beach! (i live on a lake... so... this is necessary)

There are a few things to unpack with this redesign. Clearly I have no issue with adjusting brightness, but when your controls to do so are as enormous as those are it makes me question the entire fucking motive behind this.

- This is a new GB aimed toward the chip scene...whatever that even means in 2018. Why are we not hearing about built-in MIDI & USB sync *as a minimum*? Clearly space isn't an issue if we can make a brightness adjustment control take up 20% of the left side.

- You're going through the process of completely remaking this thing, why not throw the link port elsewhere? Top? Back? Bottom? Nope. Let's put it where your fucking left hand goes. The last thing you want to bump during a performance is the port responsible for sync. Just design built-in sync and throw the port near the audio ports on the bottom.

- Is it a link port or USB-C port? I'm reading conflicting information on this. If USB-C, why only have it for charging?

- If it includes LSDJ software, does this mean the device will have built-in storage?

- We haven't heard what this thing sounds like, but it's already being marketed as a chip device. Does this have sound similar to that of a pro sound modded DMG? I'm reading there's a new built-in amp with dual outputs, which is fine, but if the amp is for the built-in speaker,  who fucking cares?

- Built in speaker is stereo, but I'm only seeing one grill.

- I'm reading about the RGB backlight, which again is fine, but a huge red flag if I know more about this than how it sounds, especially when it's geared toward music production.

- Aluminum case is cool, but seriously fuck that logo. Throw the branding on the back if you have to include it, that way, you know, other people can see it.

Hyperkin's Retron consoles were fucking garbage in my not-so-humble opinion, so I don't have a ton of faith in this project. A lot of the chip music appeal is how economical it is. It's low-cost and low-waste. I can't say this is either of those. It's misguided and a half-cooked cash grab. Having said that, I would love to be proven wrong. Please, prove me wrong.

I know that was sarcasm, but seriously look at this:

If you're going through the trouble of redesigning the thing, at least do it right.

Also, why in the world would you put the not-too-sure-about-device-sync port where your left hand would go?

I'm more concerned about the ugly logo and enormous brightness buttons if I'm being honest.

Since Kerberos is no more, would Sid Wizard work with Easy Flash 3 or 1545 Ultimate II+ alongside HerMIDI?

Or you can just use a Digitone

I can vouch for these. Extremely easy build with a great form factor.
