Sometimes you will have to wait for a bit, but paypal is pretty good about refunding money from bad sales. The key here is patience. wait a bit after the dispute is open, then file a claim if no communication happens. wait  a few more days then call paypal customer service and have them refund you.

no static on mine, bu thats with a headphone jack.

I have pocket music (gbc) on a cart. it is a pain in the butt to use and it has noise when stopped, but i sleep better at night knowing i didn't steal software. If your willing to put in a little time and have throbbing gameboy thumbs you could make a decent track with it. I am not going to sell my copy.

stereo chorus from an ibanez ue400 (sorry its not a pedal, its rack mount) seems to be really cool. I like to split my output to my microcube to get some delay. its lots of junky connectors and adapters, but it seems nice so long as i dont bump anything

What has held me back is key signatures. I habitually seek out songs in the key of c major.do not get in to this habit. The cool thing about LSDJ is that you can just transpose stuff with a command (if you sing in a certian key you can match songs to suit your range). Reading lots of music (not so much memorization of specific songs tho) will help you. If you have a ds with homebrew stuff on it, i recommend ds solfege ( it quizzes you on reading notes on the staff).
learn chord structure and make mental notes on which scales match which kind of chord, with this you can compose melodies using only notes from the scale or chord that is written above the staff of the sheet music you are reading. after the 1,000th piece of music of your choice is made into a chiptune, you will be able to hear notes in your head as you see sheet music.
I guess bela bartok's mikrokosmos (there are 6 books) is really the best lesson (or so my uncle says) if you are learning to play keys. you cant just learn a couple of things and be nullsleep. put in years.

there is drama everywhere. trolls like having the last word and screw it up for everyone eventually no matter which website you frequent.

you would have to use your ear to put this into 8 bit format... but it is a good song for it.

it never hurts to have the option of prosound. some mods that remove the original hardware severley limit what is possible. for example if you want overdrive.
