Oh also found my old Mega memory card.
I have one of those, two SPs, and my green Game Boy Camera somewhere at my parent's house.
I really gotta pay mom and dad a visit.

Re: ASM - PCB Mount Pro Sound V3 @ Retromodding (494 replies, posted in Trading Post)
Yeah, I remember being excited about that upon reading the original thread for the proposal, but not being able to throw down on the pre-order. I'm new school and never owned a transferer, though, so it'd be really great to just have one.
Mark me as interested if you ever decide to pick that up again. I'm sorry that we're collectively flakey and didn't provide you with the incentive to follow through on what is unquestionably a great idea.

Topic: "Definitive" Pushpin Documentation & Interface Schematic? (9 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Hey All,
I've recently been growing fonder of my less-loved Game Boy Colors for various reasons—nice display, good battery life, smaller, and better support for Carillon Tracker.
I've also recently acquired one of the aftermarket CGB link cables that are used to build the Pushpin interface; it's something I've been itching to play with, especially since it's so underused and poorly documented—and I'm just plain curious.
However, that mystique is also a cause of problems, as it is very difficult to find good information about the hardware and software.
Most of the links to information on Pushpin's Google Code Page are dead, and it's apparently somewhat common knowledge that the advice given on the page for building the interface is incomplete at best, and plainly wrong on some points. Any kind of formal documentation that was once available now seems scarce.
I've done some searching, and found nitro2k01's blog post about building the Pushpin interface, which was a troubled build and ended with suggestions for changes—yet nothing I understood to be complete as the best possible implementation.
I've also crawled through the Pushpin Google Group, which is now overrun by spam, to look for definitive information. I found some posts discussing improved schematics, but again, nothing that seemed to be the "definitive" or "ideal" schematic. This post from 2008 seems to have the most recently revised schematic I've found:
So, this leads me to my main questions:
Does anyone have any of the currently unavailable "official" documentation for Pushpin archived or saved anywhere?
Are there any known build tips or more refined schematics that I haven't found yet?
Does anyone have information I haven't thought of, or any general tips on creating the interface and using Pushpin?
I've stopped short of tweeting @ or e-mailing one of the creators; I don't like to bother people over something they've clearly quit supporting if I can help it…

So... Which cart flasher works with these bundles of awesome?
On that note, pardon me for asking if this is answered elsewhere, but is there a chance the custom cart flashers you were considering producing to sell at near-cost will become available again?

I have a lot of friends who are Moombahton DJs and they are well acquainted with the pointy boots fad left from Trìbal.
I also have a lot of friends who are chip/experimental electronic artists.
I suppose this was only a matter of time…

It's clearly the name of a band, or a song title.
Like "And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead," or "Godspeed You Black Emperor," or "Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-La-La Band with Choir."

Yeah I know what you mean man. Maybe start from scratch and find some smaller PROMs.
Perhaps. First, I'll have to get a couple of these from kitsch anyway to study them and perhaps reverse engineer some of it.
Or maybe I could just custom-mold a bigger plastic case. Who knows.

The PROM is still too big. Even if you solder it straight to the board. I got the DMG test cart at Blip Fest and ended up putting it in a regular case like this:

The PROM fits flush with the front of the case.
Ah, thanks for the info. That's kind of a bummer, I really want a stock-looking PushPin cart with a label and everything.
Admittedly, there is no real reason to do that, but I think it would be cool.
Also, if I ever get PushPin + the adapter working (I'm having trouble finding good documentation about it), I'm pretty much dedicating a ProSound CGB to being part of that complete set-up as a one unit "Instrument."

Re: How to Flash Your EMS Cartridge on Mac (24 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Yeah, I busted my balls for like three days trying to bootcamp my older macbook without having my original Snow Leopard install CD for the drivers around.
I ended up just using VirtualBox.
After I figured all of that shit out, it works like a charm.

Re: How to Flash Your EMS Cartridge on Mac (24 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Also, unless I'm remembering wrong, the *NIX command line flasher can't write to Page 2 of the 64M carts.
So you might still want a virtual machine in some regards.

Re: How to Flash Your EMS Cartridge on Mac (24 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Actually, I'm familiar with this method, and ended up just setting up a virtual machine anyway so that I could use stuff like the Carillon utility and FamiTracker.
This is the best explanation I've ever seen of how to use the command line *NIX flasher, though.
This is worth being stickied or added to some sort of tutorial/basic info thread.

wait... theres a difference between usb and ems carts? mine has a usb plug in on it but i alwasys thought it was ems? difference?
EMS is a brand name (The company is HKEMS), and USB is a connectivity method/interface to flash the ROM and SRAM of the carts.
EMS is currently making the most readily available flash cart, the GB USB 64M, which has a USB interface (via COM port emulation, which has its own issues).
There have been other USB carts, such as the BleepBloop USB, and the still in-development Drag 'N Derp cart.
Most of these are not currently in production for one reason or another. I'm not entirely solid myself on the BleepBloop story.
So, it's an easy mistake to make, as the only readily available cart these days is a USB cart produced by EMS.
