Thanks everyone for the input.

I plan on developing one myself, but I hope that by looking at the code of others who tried to tackle this problem, I can learn from them and not waste time trying to solve the same issues they solved.

Also, just a little personal gripe. Generally, when you call a tool open-source, that means the source is available. There are so many great console music-related google code pages with empty repositories

I contacted both tools authors but haven't heard back.

My everdrive is still in shipping. I'll let you know what I've started hacking!

New to this forum. Hello everyone. Just ordered an Everdrive-N8. I'm thinking it might be possible to use the usb connection to martial midi commands to the NES running a MidiNes-like software. I'm thinking this might be possible by simply modifying the already existing ChipMaestro or FaMi software packages. Here's what I know so far.

Both ChipMaestro and Fami appear to be designed to communicate with a UART. ChipMaestro's arduino source is available, but the NES assembly code is not :( bummer.

Does anyone know how I can get access to either's source?
