Gorilla glue might work, but I think it might be hard to get looking clean.
My only idea so far is PVC glue, like for PVC plumbing; I don't know how well both kinds of acrylic would react to that, though.

Fuck yeah, get money make bloops. 
I'd love to help, but you guys know I am an OPL3 baby. I hope you figure it out, lazerbeat.

Re: Adlib Tracker II: ROLL CALL (39 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
I recently inherited a beat up laptop with an ESS Maestro 2 SB-Pro compatible card, which I managed to get running AT2 and then crashed the shit out of. I'm trying to repair it on and off in my free time now. The ESS Maestro 2 doesn't sound as good as the real thing, but it runs the tracker and sounds better than the emulation in the 2.4 SDL, in my opinion. Its harsher tonality actually began to grow on me; one would have to make different patches and treat it as a different instrument from a proper OPL3 to get the most out of it. I regret taking it for granted before I toasted my first Win98SE install on it. 
I got the bug pretty bad from that experience, and now I'm experimenting with getting a YMF724 card working in legacy mode on a newer and more stable desktop system. The caveat here is that for legacy mode to work properly, your PCI motherboard has to have the correct "PC/PCI Link" or "SB-Link" header. I'll be looking for one of those soon.
None of this makes me a good musician though. However, it does mean that I'm actively researching the platform and will be trying to express myself with it in the foreseeable future. 
If I figure out the YMF724, look forward to some more detailed information from me about its use with AdLib Tracker II and FM Trackers in general.
EDIT: If I get the YMF724 working, I'll have the complete MIDI implementation of AT2.4 set up. Hopefully, this happens soon and I can report back.

Re: Any good alternatives to LSDJ or Nanoloop? (54 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Agreed. I found the Paragon5 readme to be pretty useful.
Most trackers use the function keys, F1-F12, as the main operations keys, and I recall Paragon5 being similar.
That said, I've since realized that Paragon5 doesn't seem to have an export function, which I always thought it did…
There's apparently another tracker called BoyScout, although I don't personally know much about it.

Re: FS/FT: Nanoloop 2.5 (5 replies, posted in Trading Post)
Yeah, I'm dumb.
"Nanoloop One" is the new format PCB cartridge for NL 1.6 and up.
There isn't a "Nanoloop Two," but NL 2.5 is user upgradeable.

Re: FS/FT: Nanoloop 2.5 (5 replies, posted in Trading Post)
Out of curiousity, do you know what the difference is between Nanoloop 2.5 and "Nanoloop Two?"
I've never seen a consistent revision history of Nanoloop and wouldn't know where to find it.
EDIT: Oh, they are the same. I guess "Nanoloop Two" is the hardware package, and 2.5 is the software version you can put on it.

There's an XM Player Diagnostic Module written by Str0be that you can use to test your preferred playback/export method.
Hopefully this helps you find an export method you can live with.

If you're going to record from an emulator, you might as well use BGB, since it is the most accurate one.

Re: DMG-01 LCD Missing Lines Repair - Soldering Iron or Hot Air (3 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I've tried a hair dryer before and didn't get very effective results, but a hot air rework station is definitely the way to go if you happen to have one.
I was given a busted DMG which I've managed to repair, but the LCD has one dead horizontal line… I don't think there's been a successful repair of one to date, but I'm keen to experiment with hot air and see if I can work that out.
