Hi Ctrix. Can you say what kind of SNES cart/mapper? Not really up on SNES mappers and such, but INL over at Nesdev.org has flash carts and a programmer, kind of like the Retrode edge programmer.
I already have the programmer for NES dev and getting a $20 SNES flash cart would be great. I know the release is still awhile out but if you have the target HW pinned down I can at least stare at the cart and drool

Haha, stare and drool... I saw those carts too. $20 for a non-chinese dev cart? Hawt damn!

I think the last thing we want to do is reduce chances of seeing them, slim as they may seem, to a definite zero. Imagine if he is only days away from sending packages but sees the community shoving him under the bus. How would you react?

Olderaptoos are pretty easy to disassemble. If you're confident enough, pop it open and peak at the ICs. I found a ym2612 in a lappy I got for free from a friend.

Awesome.
I have a few hundred of these boards. They were made to be a cheap way to release Genesis/Megadrive software, let me know if you're interested in a cart release when the project is mature enough.
Hey batty,
I have to talk with you about dual port RAM. I am having trouble getting mine to read out the other side. I'll PM you after work.

Vocaloid chiptune would be the best thing ever tbh, but I've never heard of that happening before.
Some of the anonymous vocaloid songs on youtube incorporate chip. Im surprised more people haven't jumped on this though:

Re: Is there an Atari 2600 clock mod? (15 replies, posted in Circuit Bending)
Ask Paul Slocum what the best frequency would be. Because of the default frequency, bnotes are out of tune. He would know the best frequency to get perfectly tuned notes, as well as the half-speed freq for lower octaves.

Re: DMG/Pocket video capture with Arduino or Teensy? (244 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Well, I gave it a go. A few weeks back I sat down and attempted to read the data bits into my serial monitor. I tried a hundred different sketches using different methods of reading ports, reading pins and using interrupts.
AF one point I was getting a bunch of 0's and 3's which is how a gameboy screen boots when there is no cart inserted (having internal pullup resistors in the data bus) meaning all 1's or 0's. Perfect. The only problem I had was that I was not properly utilizing v or hsync. So the monitor was simply reading anything and everything as quickly as possible.
When I tried interrupts on the clock trace, I couldn't get the to work AT ALL. Not once. I tried everything. I tried with an arduino nano, uno and mega but nothing worked with interrupts.
I think the problem may have been that I was using the port as a data port which also contained the interrupt pin.
In any case, I got data at one point, but nothing useable...yet.

Re: DMG-001 takes reeeeally long time to start (3 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Power board problem - ?
Reset circuit components - ?
...
Crystal oscillator - ?
I suspect that the power board is causing problems. I would start by replacing the caps found on it first.
depending on the board revision you could need:
1 x 33uF @ 25v
or
1 x 33uF @ 25v, 1 x 22uF @ 10v and 1 x 100uF @ 10v

Who am I, right? But I fully suggest to stay away from the USB audio Input. Build a desktop.

Re: Commodore 64 Cartridge Measurements (23 replies, posted in Commodore Computers)
20.1 / 2 = 10.05 mm 
The calipers are very sensitive, so the dimensions will have a tolerance of about +/- 0.02 mm
This is trivial since the PCB fits loosely inside the shell and the shell fits loosely inside the C64, so no worries. The important dimensions are 4.4mm for the diameter of the PCB mounting hole and 7.7mm for the mounting hole height (measured from the outside of the wall. This is also the height of the small wall you see near the bottom of the shell) These two bodies are where the PCB rests so that it will be parallel with the rest of the shell
