So, the Drag'n'Derp (codename: Do A Heaps Cart) prototype is now sufficiently advanced to tick all of the main feature boxes, and so it is with pleasure that I announce this device to you.

This is how you load a custom-kit LSDJ ROM and a SAV full of songs:

For those at the back, major features:

24mbit (3mbyte) of Flash
1mbit (128kbyte) of ferroelectric RAM - no battery, 100 year lifespan
native USB - mass storage device - no drivers required

"8bit"? You have a shiny modded gameboy playing on-screen for a few seconds, but how does that relate to the actual music you guys are making, which is to say, the rest of the video?

It just looks a little... stretched.

And who's making that new cart? Is he Australian? I noticed that the motherboard says "DO A HEAPS CART"!

Sheeit, I wasn't even going to announce this until it was almost finished...
I should pop an update up on the site, the hardware's basically cooked now. There's still a lot of work to do on the drag'n'drop core.

Confirmed features:
USB drag and drop - no drivers needed.
Non-volatile MRAM for saves.
Drag'n'drop firmware updates.

There are some maybe-perhaps others, but I'm more interested in delivering core features that work well than in being "feature-rich".

Re: Dealextreme Netbooks - Music making? (10 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)

These things have a gnarly proprietary system on a chip (the ones I've encountered, that look like the first link - in various colours, are all Via/Wondermedia VT8500 and WM8505s). Inbuilt speakers are horrid, lineout is okay. Linux support is on its way - there are Linux distros available for both the 8500 and 8505 based machines, but as yet no fully open-source kernel, and so audio support is patchy.

For the 8505 you should find resources at http://bento-linux.org/
