Video made me think, "No Brad? Just Janet."
I love the ZAMN clips thrown in.

Re: Chaos Tracker (Open Source) (336 replies, posted in Sega)
Actually, random question. How is the nomad battery life? I remeber when they first came out 6 AA batteries lasted 20 minutues or something crazy. Are batteries more durable now?
That was the Game Gear. The Nomad has a battery pak which is smaller. Considering the age and limited availability, most people mod them or make their own battery paks. I just use the AC adapter right now...I need to find a portable energy source.

I'm not saying there is a right way to make chipmusic, but to me this is definitely the wrong way to start out. For this price you could buy several gameboys or a C64 off eBay or something similar and get a much better music making tool. It just seems like he's trying to swindle money out of wannabe musicians who don't realize you can get LSDJ for $1 (always donate more, kids!) and use an emulator.Or you could, you know, do everything for free with ModPlug / FamiTracker / Milky... we could use some new demoscene-mod-chiptune-revivers!
Or use a GB, atari, SGG, gen/md, apple ii, zx, ti 89 calc....a microwave...just open your eyes man! The chips are all around you.
/off to prosound my microwave...
So yeah. He's trying to play off of the chip-scene while hating on the chip-swag. lol wat?

Re: Anyone have experiance with retr0bright? (16 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Ah, I see. Thanks for all the help.
Start with a smaller ratio than even he suggests. I cannot stress this enough. Then if you're confident in the outcome, add a little more of the active ingredient next time. None of us can afford to melt a GB.
But yes, it will work on clear too.

Sorry to bump this but I wanted to know whether Retr0bright or anything similar would work on clear (transparent) plastic. I got a defective Pocket for the case but the yellowing is quite visible.

Re: Looking for anyone with a GENMDM for recording project. (8 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Can you not simply use YM2612 and TI 76489 samples? These should be easy to find considering the Sound generators are not custom or proprietary in the Sega Genesis as they are in the NES/gameboy, etc.

I understand your point on using LSDJ as a basis and all, but really... No need to keep comparing one to another. See the example of LGPT. "Apples and oranges" blah blah blah.
Glad you're on the same page. I just felt the need to make that point perfectly clear since there was still some ambiguity or floating around the dev forum.

Rest assured everyone, there is going to be a cartridge release of YMDj. "YMDj" being the working title if I am not mistaken. The Count wants to place emphasis on the fact that LSDj is nothing more than a basis or guideline as to better cater to the chip-tracker audiences.

Re: Mega Drive Sound Issues... (9 replies, posted in Sega)
I can't wait for the updates!
Well, I took it to a friends house and tried it on a different TV and it worked first go! So, I think it's just a bit temperamental. However, the RF cable broke because it got stuck in the TV...
But yeah, I'm looking into an AV cable or something. I'm just a bit reluctant to mod it because it has a warranty, and I wanted to know that it would work before trying to mod it... Also, I haven't really seen many comprehensive mod guides...?
In that case, I would hold off for now but in the future I recommend a few mods. PM me if you need more info.
In any case, I'll stick this here.

Go for an S-video mod if you have the components and skill.

Re: Mega Drive Sound Issues... (9 replies, posted in Sega)
Get as far away from the rf modulator as possible! Can you do mods? I suggest an RCA mod for composite video and split L and R audio. The model 2's are pretty poor actually, but damn easy to mod.
