i'm in for two bare boards, no pre-soldering

if its the clear type stuff like the above pic, its flux/rosin leftover from assembly and you can ignore it all the same

i've asked for a 'group buy' area to be added to this site for this type of stuff!

if others of you would like a 'group buy' section please voice your opinions on this, or PM me and i'll collect them and petition some more wink

this is a good thread.  i tried my hand at investigating but ended up not being very good at it at all,

good find.  i was thinking at first someone stole a track of yours, glad its not that!

i do will you PM me your address?

red bull needs to have a competition for this now

forgot to post this the other day...  i seem to have misplaced the other recordings i made so i'll keep looking for those or else just record something else.

jingle bells!  (there are a lot of christmas song examples for this implementation for whatever reason)

the timing is way off in the song in parts, but you can get a picture for the tonal quality and what's going on.  its pretty rough.  no adsr stuff going on, its very very bare bones.  but its what i've got/found atm!  also the timing is wrong in parts as well.  overall its jingle bells done poorly.

jingle bells on 5th channel of kk_gb_8m

recorded straight off the cartridge with a mono 1/8" jack straight into the laptop.  no effects or editing.  yadayada

edit - and, to whats talked about above this post.  yes.  we're on the same wavelength with this sort of thing...

yessssss

eta: fingers crossed i'm thinking in < 2 weeks now.  the assembly took a little longer than anticipated, the unknown variable right now is the amount of troubleshooting i'll need to do to get these programmed and tested and wrapped up completely. 

there is always something tongue 

as soon as possible, basically.  to where its not rushed and compromises the quality of the product. 

and glad the docs seem like they'll be enough!  if you do take this on, and find there is info missing or whatever, PLEASE let me know i'd be happy to update it.  i think its enough for most everyone to add support for the 5th channel though (as long as the address range isn't already being used). 

if you pipe the 5th channel's sound through the gameboy, check out this part of pandocs too: http://nocash.emubase.de/pandocs.htm#so … lregisters

^ this link should take you to the Sound Control Registers section, not the bottom.  so, if it doesn't take you there, reload the page.  mine messed up on me and reloading it took me to the right part

(the header on kk_gb_8m is there so you can send the new audio wherever.  straight to its own mono jack, back into the game cart (and to the cart edge), or whatever you want.  its not hardwired to the cart edge, its available in the breakout header to do with what people wish)

nearly done!

still have programming/testing to do after they are assembled, but its just about time.

recordings: i've actually got some made!  the tunes were created directly in the CPLD (rather than controlled by a ROM), i'll upload some sample code for one of the songs too.  i've done christmas tunes and a michael jackson song.

i'll try to get those gathered up and linked to asap.
