Lol, i know. Just meant within the chip realm you'd be more likely to be correct than a college professor. Except maybe professor little-scale (depending on the specific hardware/software) smile

Thank you so much for volunteering to chat down the road. I really do appreciate it and will take you up on that offer! Yeah, it was interesting reading posts from people who were very involved years ago and are no longer posting. I know some mentioned new phases in life getting in the way of posting (e.g., having kids, getting married, starting new jobs, etc.), but I'm curious what happened to the members who were posting a lot and just appeared to stop.

I can help fill you in, i know most of the people who used to post regularly to some degree or another. Don't know the "why" for all of them, but some have told me

When in doubt on things like this, always trust nitro, even over college professors. Dude knows his stuff

dot.ay with the truth

Agreed. I liked that the lineup for the gig i played in Sept was something very different from the normal chip gig. Pretty sure i was the only one to even use a game boy as part of my set in any way & it was all darker/heavier artists (so many chopped breaks)

As far as I'm concerned the fact that your interests would showcase a different subsection of the scene could only be seen as a good thing. Having 100 excellent chiptune news sources that constantly agreed about how great the same 25 artists are would be pointless.

i'd probably not stick to only chip either, tbh there's just not that much chip music that i enjoy

Did you press B in mGB?
When running on a nanoloop cart, mGB starts with all-zero settings so that all channels are muted, probably because it tries to load saved settings from nonexistent SRAM. To set it back to defaults, press B after startup.

mGB is only 32k, but for some reason the ROM is padded to 64k with the upper half empty. When downloading the 64k ROM to the nanoloop cart, it will boot into mGB after 32k have been received.

weird, i've never needed to press B after startup, but that could just be something that's not an issue when using piggy tracker to control it. or it's just one of the many things that inexplicably works for me but almost no one else when it comes to piggy tracker MIDI functionality

leave the light as as-is and sell to a collector. don't make rare shit more rare when you could backlight a pocket instead and come out ahead money-wise

wanted to do a quick check to see who might be interested in a piggy tracker MIDI compilation. tracks wouldn't need to be MIDI-only, just feature at least one prominent MIDI device in the track. similar to the hexawe compos, project folders would be submitted with the tracks along with a brief description of what the MIDI instruments are (ie: MIDI channel 3 is analog bass synth or MIDI channels 1-5 are mGB, but the more info the better). so who (if anyone) would be down? mostly asking since i rarely hear anything done by other artists taking advantage of piggy's MIDI capabilities
posted in the piggy tracker facebook group too, but since some of you have left there (like bleo, herr_prof, & pulselooper) figured i should post here too
obviously no deadline yet, just guaging interest to see if enough people are into it to move forward, but i guess having it out sometimes in spring sounds like enough time for people to get some really good stuff

PiTFT screens are pretty nice, 2.8", and 320x240 iirc so they could potentially work
