Hi Decktonic, seems like I won't make the deadline.
Anyway, tomorrow I'll send you what I have so you can check it.

OK, if you have to send it in late, that's fine, it might take me a couple days to compile the tracks anyway.

Oh hello, it's a rompler.

*dooze*

Did any of you actually use an M1 back in the day? No-one ever programmed it beyond the presets!

wink

You guys also don't seem to realize... it's a rompler on a stylus-based dual-backlit-screen pocket console... for those of us who are dedicated DS musicians, this is a perfect, gotta-have-it new app!

It's all about live (session) view. You can put a combine a bunch of audio samples and midi instruments on different "tracks" (the vertical bars) and then play them together, and add audio effects to each one or to the master track, or even on send channels. You can then experiments with lots of different sounds without having to arrange or track anything. Then you can record your actions live and the results will be places on the arrangement view without any destructive changes whatsoever. That's the beauty of Live for me. When it comes time to lay out the song, I already have a good idea of what each part will be like, because I've already experimented with everything beforehand.

That's what you get for buying an xbox. Between the Wii and the DSi, I have some really good modern games that I won't soon forget.

Like what? I'm not trying to be confrontational, I'd just really like to know some good games. Every time I've played the wii I just ended up getting frustrated and thinking "this would be so much better with a real controller." Although ds is a whole other story. Retro Game Challenge was amazing! Phantom Hourglass was slightly disappointing. My favorite part about Windwaker (other than the graphics) were the sounds people would make. I would literally get to the part where they're launching you in a barrel with a catapult to get into the forsaken fortress and just leave it there because his grunts were so freaking funny. And the merchant ship guy "THAAAANNNK YOOUUUU!!!" Pheonix Wright was alright, New Super Mario Bros. was meh, Mario Kart DS multiplayer was amazing. Although I haven't had a chance to try a DSi/XL yet. How do they compare?

Sure, I'll tell you.

The funny thing about Wii games is that most of the ones I really like use classic controls... quite a few of the recent ones actually use NES style controls even though they are all 3D and modern. On the Wii, New Super Mario Bros Wii is great. Even if you have the DS version. Single player is fun, but it's the multiplayer that rules. I've had friends over that were complete noobs when it comes to videogames, as well as some that grew up with all the Mario games, and we've always had crazy fun with it. It's just a totally new experience. Other games I consider memorable... Kirby's Epic Yarn, A Boy and His Blob (it's a remake, and very good), Metroid: Other M (so much better than the Prime series IMO), Zelda: Twilight Princess (like no other Zelda game before it), and I really like Tatsunoko vs Capcom though that's just another cheesy fighting game. I still consider some of the motion controls to be memorable, but that's mostly because it's a new game style and not because they are amazing games, expect for Wii Sports Resort which has some stellar game modes. On the DS, yes, I love Retro Game Challenge, but you are missing out on a few... I have to say that the Professor Layton series is amazing, as well as the Space Invaders Extreme games, Rhythm Heaven, Elite Beat Agents, and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. These are all games that I consider to be quite memorable... there are others I enjoy a lot but I won't mention. It's also funny that while I have lots of software for DS and Wii, I play the DS more, and I've been satisfied with way more of my DS purchases than my Wii purchases.

As for DSi, I love it for the download ware. There's some good stuff to get. PiCTOBiTS is the big winner for me, I mean, it's absolutely mindblowing, and then there's Hard-Hat Domo which is also very unique. Don't get an XL if you want something that will fit in your pocket.

Yeah I'm trying to think of when I got my first DMG.......lets see, I was born in 91, we were poor so I probably got one when I was 4 or 5 so it must have been like 95 or 96. Does anyone know when the play it loud's were released? I'm trying to figure out why my parents didn't get me one of those instead of the grey one because my brother already had one of those. But yeah, I was so stoked you don't even know. I still have that puppy too, it's all scratched, the speaker is blown, and half the screw posts inside are broken so the screws don't stay in but I still use it all the time.

I buy classic consoles as a way of reliving my childhood... or in the case of the Ice Blue Gameboy Pocket, to experience things I missed out on when I was a kid.

Oh you know what? I just found classic images on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002 … mp;seller=

So Bit Shifter is correct... all Play It Loud models were sold in these clear cases (unlike in Japan where they came in cool cardboard boxes). And these cases USED to have paper inserts... which means that the ones I've bought are not quite as "near mint" as the auctions stated :[

I have two Gameboys that I've bought this way, with these cases. I don't know anything about them either. They were listed as "near mint in box" and this was the box... I'd love to know the story behind these boxes too.

The original video is about 2 years old but this version with the "cat" talking is less than a month old.

What do you know about guitar simulators for ds (not dsi)?
I know only "Hiite Utaeru DS Guitar M-06", may be anything else?

No, that's it as far as I know (and for anyone wondering, that's the name of "Jam Sessions" in Japan).
