was just linked to this thread

for whatever its worth......   i disabled redirects to kitsch-bent.com, with exceptions for the kitschbent/kitsch-bent domains I own.

kitschbent.com is purchased as well (by someone other than myself), the other extensions i purchased for myself a long time ago (the other relevant kitsch-bent extensions, i mean).  so i suppose those could not be purchased.

i've love to know who purchased kitschbent.com, but am not taking to a public forum and making accusations against anyone about it.  whoever it is doesn't seem to be getting any use out of it, and its not redirected atm, i'm unsure if it ever has been.

i will reply to your email when i get the time, i'm literally moving to a new living space in these days and have no time to deal with anything apart from sleeping and eating, and especially this.

but, the least i can do is to disable redirects to kitsch-bent.com, apart from the exceptions I made as mentioned above.  (like kitsch-bent.net for example).

my domain service says this may take some time before the change takes effect.  i assume it will go to a dead page or something along those lines...

SO GOOD LOOKING

hey everybody -

its finally clicked and i 'get it.' since i first looked into accepting crypto currencies some months ago, the availability of different tools and platforms exploded to make it a bit more reasonable to accept and then be able to utilize it myself.

so, if you'd rather pay with one of these methods please let me know! i'm not opposed to other types of crypto as well (dark, etc), but just need to make sure it is acceptable in one of the exchanges i've joined to facilitate this.

just email and get in touch if you wish to pay this way! its super easy if you have these currencies. time to leap into modernity smile

keep chipping!

thanks for looking!

should i create an option with an included trimpot on the product page?  wouldn't be hard to do

the resistor really isn't needed, its entirely a matter of personal preference.  i'd suggest maybe getting it installed first so you can make sure it even needs to be changed, and then if you do change it the effect is what you want when it is installed.

a little cheap trimpot will save you some guessing time though, peoples preferences vary so much.  some people like the LEDs barely illuminated, others wide open.  the cost difference between a resistor and an inexpensive trimpot will be next to nothing

yes, there is a market but like Dire Hit said you've got to stand out to make sales.  the profit margin isn't terribly high but its certainly fun

good day!

i think that ROM would be very beneficial to other people too, do you know if he's made it available to the public?   (good utility app, might be worth asking him to post it if not)  happy to do it if you lost contact info or anything else

if you are 18, just go to the bank and have her name taken off your account or close the custodial account and transfer funds to a new one if it just can't be taken off that simply.

then again, if she's given you all the money your account holds and wasn't just the custodian, then that isn't all that fair really. 

if you're 18, unless a court has ordered otherwise, you are your own keeper and can do as you wish with your account.  just take your ID and ask to speak to a banker (instead of a teller)

yeah, ditto def the newer batch.  emails are trickling in.  didn't have any before this last batch that i can recall, and they are all the same issue (the DMG stuff) currently.  the only commonality is the cart itself and it being DMG guts.  shells vary, types of mods vary, but its only in the DMG afaik.  because they are all working in peoples other consoles, and even in other random DMGs but not some particular one (someone had a few consoles to try with).

however, the good news is that the business card trick is so far undefeated...  i think double-sided tape might work too, to borrow something EMS did some years ago with a similar issue.  i'll suggest that if i get any future emails about this.  it will give it a little lift but also 'disable' any wiggle

will also shoot abrasive an email right now and make sure he's caught up.  i only have one cart from the last batch, and one from the first, so me testing them doesn't reveal much.  however, the PCBs are measuring the same on these two (doesn't mean the batch wasn't a mix of different runs of the PCB, though).  there are manufacturing tolerances in anything, so it could just be an unhappy mistake where the tolerances on the shell and PCB *in a particular cartridge* are both very slightly shy and just make a difference.  there are a whole slew of factors really.  even the edge finger treatment.  who knows...  but i can't tell squat on just two carts, so i'll see if abrasive will check his batch and we can see whats up.

but, like i said, the card stock is working fine.  the fingers just need raised a hair.

Same thing for use. We bought 10 DMGs, and 4 were unable to boot the derp. (but commercial games were booting correctly)
We then tried on other DMGs until we got 10 working.
it  seems that 1 out of 2 was booting correctly...

We also had save corruption problems on GB clones. Corruption only occurred with dergs, not with EMSes.

are the clones the GB Boy and GB Boy Colour?  or one of the older types of clones?

its awesome to not have it end up in the trash  smile  someone had saved up the cards from a few orders and did an origami flower and sent me a picture once.  that was sort of awesome.  other people collect them even, like stamps i guess.  i get requests for a specific color sometimes to 'complete the collection' or replace a bent one tongue  hmmmm.  i could get super kitsch with this, hmmmm

anywho, glad to hear it sorted out the issue for you!

my personal preference would be to keep the third pot at the expense of easily reaching the power switch, if it is an option of only one.  try new PCB shaping in that area perhaps first before ditching the pot.  if i think about this in terms of other musical hardware (moog's sub phatty vs. sub 37 for example), more immediate hardware controls over the parameters seem to be better received than having multi-use pots/encoders with parameters hidden in menus. 

instant gratification knob twiddling.  basically.
