feel free to contact me through the website if you've got any questions regarding us putting LSDj on there for you.  the shop uses paypal, but you don't have to have a paypal account to checkout.

if that's still a problem, we can use Square to process CC transactions very easily

edit -- or Stripe.  we can use stripe now too, i believe (haven't tried yet, account just got set up)

have you considered a mac mini?

also, you can get audio-in through thunderbolt/usb/etc interfaces, don't let a missing 1/8" hole scare you from a 13".  the future is now tongue

black will happen.  probably not tan though

i've always felt a temptation to make dookie brown button stuff though.  that may happen.

and, yes, i'll have just the button sets.  justin will be doing illumination installs, i was wanting to show off his work for him here a little smile  he may have just the buttons too, that's sort of his call

I asked mr. thursday to install and test out the new silicone button sets i've done (being manufactured atm) and for some feedback, and not only got great constructive criticism but also these rad pics, some with illumination!

this is a COMPLETE set of silicone buttons.  they feel awesome too.  i've managed to increase the quality of the silicone products, as well as lower cost.  win-win, things just really fell into place with these.  FINALLY. 

He'll be offering this mod with these buttons, he does great work I highly suggest him.  keep an eye out for that, I'll get him a stock of buttons when they get here so he can offer that pretty quickly to everyone who isn't comfortable doing it themselves.

oh!  i should note...  i had samples made in semi- and high-transparency silicone.  not entirely sure what was used for the two illumination pics, but just wanted to mention that.  i've decided on the semi-transparent ones for the first batch.  best for 'backlighting', it diffuses much better (high-transparency is very clear, like a jelly candy sort of, doesn't really diffuse)

here is my application for funds.  if chosen, i'd like to split the funds into two chunks, applied to two entirely different things.

THE FIRST:  a payment of encouragement ($100) to the Deflemask project to add "KK_GB_8M mode" to this wonderful tracker.  this would essentially be its standard gameboy operation with an added 5th channel for KK_GB_8M.  Since KK_GB_8M is unique in having this feature, there is currently no tracker which supports this.  Also, hopefully ROM file generation which allows playback on hardware with no additional support required (i.e., lsdsng).  Mainly, for adding kk_gb_8m mode into Deflemask.  I've spoken with Delek about this, and he is OK to try to add this support.  Even if this were to not work out, this project is deserving of the support since he's done it for free for us out of love for this community.

THE SECOND: yes, that's a sd card cartridge.  its called "kk_gb_sd" (creative, huh).  the rest of the funds ($200) would go towards me being able to hire an engineer to aid in the development of a menu and more advanced file system.  (here, you should read: i wanna add not just multi-ROM, but multi-sav, and its haaaaard).  I am also wanting to create some debugging tools and other utilities to accompany this cartridge.  i'm running into some walls in accomplishing all the features.  i don't want to go over too many details about this cartridge now, its still very much a WIP (obviously).  however, having a real professional lend their abilities to this would really work wonders.  i'm finding i want to slam my head into a wall a bit...  As you see, hardware is basically done, apart from any unforeseen adjustments of course.  an engineer won't be cheap, these funds would help offset the R&D involved with this project a bit though.  Engineer choice is my discretion, I have a couple in mind already.

I'm thankful for everyone and their support of kk_gb_8m...  but, the hardware is done entirely, manufacturing is taken care of, its just a matter of debugging at this point.  which is just a sacrifice of my time, no funding needed for that tongue  now... whenever someone starts a 'pizza donation' thread, i'm all over that...

also... let's keep this thread about the awesome thing sxe_weekend is doing.  i'll get around to explaining kk_gb_sd in more detail when its ready. 

well, that's my application!  i hope the community will consider this.  *if* you'd like to split these funds some more, and i'm lucky enough to receive any of these funds, go with my FIRST request and not the second.  it benefits someone other than myself in a direct way, and imo Delek is pretty awesome.  If i have discretion with funds, the first $100 goes to Delek, if any remains it'll go towards Mr. Engineer for kk_gb_sd.

sxe_weekend, I PM'd you a couple questions

(i've asked i be subject to an application process for this before any decision.  i need to tell you guys what this would be applied towards first, and then you all can consider, i truly appreciate the kind words and support!  there are so many equally worthy things happening, i'd like to do this in a just way and in the open, so i'll prepare my submission for this offer.  and then you can reject it, or not)

should we submit our 'application' for this via this thread?  or, directly to you?

this is from my facebook...  if it doesn't mean anything to you/anybody, no worries wink  just a test, illustrating a thing

still have a bug to work out.  but, not in FRAM read/write now big_smile  don't want anyone thinking i've abandoned this or anything...  optimization/bug fixing is a little more than i had first suspected...  i really don't want to send out something with a problem i don't catch.  although, updating the cart is pretty simple, for bug fixes and whatnot

like, walked in the door.  put groceries up.  and read this. 

i'm a little weirded out by the irony
