Did you find one of these? I see a guy here has a craigslist post, I'm about to e-mail him and see if he still has it…

How hard would it really be to modify your design to use through-hole components?

I haven't looked at the USB schematic, but is the whole thing SMT or something?

Like I said in that other thread, Auxcide, you can probably successfully run your demanding LSDj songs on pro-sound Game Boy Colors.

Not that I'm trying to sell you on that, just that it's worth a try if the SP headphone adapters should ever become completely unavailable for any reason.

I think we're pretty safe from this for the foreseeable future.

Look at the "mainstream" breakouts from chiptune, who are genre blending: acts like Anamanaguchi and Sabrepulse are getting a lot of success outside of the community and the standard fan base, because they have a way to appeal to people who are put off by a purely chip-centric arrangement and performance.

From the other end, we have acts who bank on the idea of "the 8-bit sound," like everyone's favorite group, Crystal Castles.

Their name is a boring reference lifted direct from an older game without any kind of clever innovation. Their æsthetic is confrontational and lo-fi. Their actual sounds are lifted samples that they aren't using to anywhere near their full potential. I think in the press somewhere, they said they used an Elekom SIDStation, but those spectrograms that were floating around during the litigious period with Covox, et. al. clearly show that they were clips of MP3s looped into beats.

My point with all this is that for a "mainstream" producer to "cash in" on "the 8-bit sound," it's waaay easier to just lift samples than to dick around with original hardware, and the appeal of a purely chip arrangement has yet to grow into a widespread "mainstream" audience.

just messin bro, sry

Start a rival event to Pulsewave, and walk right up to it in the school cafeteria while wearing your leather jacket and shades (even though that's against dress code!!) and then take a big bite out of its brownie (the only good thing from the school cafeteria!!)

After that, it'll be so pissed that it will break its vow to its mom never to fight and it will come back in full force just to show you what's up.

And then you will have two awesome monthly shows!

This plan is flawless.

I've built Male DMG-04 to Female PS/2 adapters, that's worked quite well for me. I think it's the cheapest and lowest material way to hook a keyboard up to LSDj, and you get two of them for the price of one link cable.

The trick is that you have to swap pins in the DMG-04 so that the adapter will carry power to the keyboard,

Here's a picture of what my working adapter looks like on the inside:

I recommend checking the pinouts in the LSDj Wiki's keyboard article, and remember that if you are looking into the female PS/2 port, that +5V should be on the left, and that GND, CLK, and SIN should be on the right. That's where I messed up the first time.

I hope that helps.

EDIT:

Oh, you meant "I haven't found any mods online that wire a link cable port and a female PS/2 port together" as in the two ports being in a device, not an adapter from one to the other.

Well, that is essentially how installing a PS/2 port in a DMG-01 works. I just don't think it'll work in a DMG-07.
