Is there an email/board where I can report a bug? Samples do not load in the newest PSP ghetto when creating a new song. ONLY when you load a tune made with a previous version will a sample actually load. wtf

Damn. Looks like I have a lot of RAW-->IFF converting to do in my near future.

I can't even properly load an instrument with the latest psp ghetto.

Buy or die.

Why not just send demos to a label and have them press the vinyl?

I thought the music section itself was the beginning of the end.

In the event you're not being sarcastic (ha) and me not being a dick (HA) I meant a cd without cover fwiw.

That's dandy if you know the audience will buy them but be careful to not limit yourself. If I saw a merch table full of records and cassettes I wouldn't buy a thing because I no longer have decks to play them, but a cdr can be made just as cheaply and I can play it before I even get home.

I've had several people tell me they purchased a deck just to listen to Radiograffiti records, so it works both ways.

does anybody know of record pressing companies that do low quality inexpensive vinyl pressing?  i used to buy punk records for cheap and id like to do the same thing with electronic music but all the places ive found were way too expensive.  any ideas?

I had a bunch of shit typed out when my cpu crashed, so I'll just say this-

More often than not, cheap price = cheap product/total incompetence from just about all sides you'll be dealing with in the process. Spend the cash on good vinyl from reputable sources.

are you 100% positive your chips are flashed correctly? have you built donors prior to this? You did strip the NES header prior to flashing right?

Yes, yes aaaand yes. I'll try a Zelda cart out of sheer boredom if I can find one for cheap locally.

Here's are some thoughts on the matter from the other thread fwiw. Perhaps there's a simple solution I'm missing here.

It's to do with initialisation code on h/w seems to not be showing on the Famicom boards (as mine are normally built on the famicom h/w) but is showing up on the NES boards this time (we had a little similar issue with PR8/Pulsar like this before but nailed it after some testing! smile

I’m beginning to think this is all tied to the Famicom’s lack of a CIC security chip and differences to the way the two machines initialise data – the reason PR8 might not be resetting is very likely related to this, I’m going to grab LFT next time I see him online and pick his brains (I warned him already hehe) about it as if anyone can shed light on anything h/w related its most probably him *Grin*

Neil; I repeated the steps in my guide and built yet another PR8 cart for Famicom in the interim so the Famicom side of things checks out just fine – we just have to poke around a bit more on the NES side, it's super weird but I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of it smile

Fuck, does this count as crossposting?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Yes, I am using 27C010 in several donors. I've tried Bard's Tale, Shingen The Ruler, NES Open, Ultima Exodus, and one other I am probably forgetting at the moment - all with the same behavior. I'll test the battery removal next...I never thought of doing that.

I should mention I have similar results when using PR8/Pulsar in donors as well, although they barely even turn on.

OK, so I just tested the NTRQ donor (using NES Open Golf donor cart - NES-SNROM) with the extra wire (connecting pin 31 to hole 2) removed and I'm getting the same behavior as before: erroneous data/crash/clear menu not clearing anything/etc.

The only way I managed to get a donor cart to "work" with NTRQ in the past is to power the nes with the cart inserted, not pushing the cart down, waiting for a flash or two, pushing the cart down with the power still running and powering off/on once rapidly.

If there's a difference in the architecture between NES and Famicom, why would the cart for sale in this thread work on the American NES, while the donors do not? What is the difference between the donor and the one for sale?

Oh, and apologies for hijacking this thread, but hey - more views for your item, right?

I'll double check all used donor carts later tonight/test NTRQ, sans wire.

Not that anyone cares, but I gotta say I prefer donor boards over new pcbs, simply because it's one less cart in a landfill/one less cart being produced. There's thousands available, why not use what's already there, you know?
