Wait... Is this SID music?
In order for it to not sound like SID music, wouldn't that require that it not BE entirely SID music? If it is SID music, then it has to sound like SiD music, right?

Semantics lol

Re: Running LSDJ on GBA, help! (19 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

the Game Boy Advance hardware emulates the Game Boy Color for backwards compatibility, so if you use LSDj in a Game Boy Color flash cartridge, it is identical to running it on a Game Boy Color. I do this all the time.

I'm not sure if "hardware emulates" is the correct terminology, but there's a switch in the cartridge slot that is triggered when you put a classic form factor cartridge in, and when you power on the GBA with one inserted, it starts an internal Game Boy Color CPU instead of the GBA CPU.

Re: Running LSDJ on GBA, help! (19 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

If I recall correctly, LSDj has code written to compensate for the clock speeds of various compatible devices so that tuning and tempo stay fairly consistent. Ergo, a Game Boy Color and a Super Game Boy don't have tuning problems compared to the Game Boy and the Game Boy Pocket.

I don't know much about Goomba, but it's clearly not super accurate, and small issues like that are going to just come with the territory when you use it for something where accuracy of emulation matters.

Re: How to make music with a SNES console? Software in cartridge? I'm miss (22 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)

The main thing I'm aware of is XM2SNES, which is a program that converts properly formatted .xm modules to .spc files.

Re: The J. Arthur Keenes Band - Xinyue Yam and The Mystery Level OST (14 replies, posted in Releases)

Now I have to reburn the "every J. Arthur Keenes album on one CD" disk that's in my car.

That is one of only three CDs in it.

Re: Apeshit's Gameboy Modding Guides - PS/2 Adapter Tutorial (34 replies, posted in Tutorials, Mods & How-To's)

Ehhh, that's not really something I could say. There are a million things that could be wrong inside of the Game Boy that would prevent it from turning on.

That said, you want to remove as much corrosion as you practically can. Corrosion is a chemical reaction with the metal and substances in the environment. The products of the corrosion need to be removed to limit the continuation of that chemical reaction. For example, rust is a form of corrosion; to stop something from rusting, you want to remove as much of the rust as you can, and then remove the item from the rust-inducing environment.

Take the terminals out and put them in a small cup of vinegar. There are spring pins on the side of the battery case that is on the inside of the Game Boy that you have to depress to slide them out. If the corrosion isn't too bad, you can just get a cotton swab soaked in vinegar and apply it to the corrosion lightly.

Re: Official Game Boy Flash Cart (29 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

Yeah ok I should reframe "rare" and "extremely valuable" as "I've never seen one" and "I don't know where I'd get one."

I love that thread, dude.

I was thinking additionally about something with a large catalog of soundcard hardware profiles and compatibilities, but that'd be a ton of work to put together, and us asking each other might cover most of that ground. Maybe it wouldn't be that useful.

Those are rare and extremely valuable to the right people, typically collectors.
