Hi Everyone,

I'm after a Commodore 64 Music Maker keyboard overlay, has anyone got one sitting round gathering dust? I have bits and pieces to trade or can pay with cold hard cash!

Cheers,

O/H

Currently on eBay I have a full Midines setup for sale, here is the link and description.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? … :MESELX:IT

Here is what the auction says:

This auction is for an exceedingly rare full Midines setup, including NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) console with Low-Gain Audio NESmod, original NES controller, AV cable, audio cable, power supply and Nintendo power supply. All items are complete and in superb condition.

The Midines cart is version 1.1.1, which has the pitch correction, which means it will sound perfect on both PAL and NTSC NES (Nintendo Entertainment System consoles. Midines is a cartridge that enables MIDI control of the 8bit NES soundchip. Midines allows the 8bit NES to join ranks alongside other retro gear in the professional MIDI recording studio. The cart also includes NesFX, a retro graphic visualisation that is seeded by the incoming MIDI sound data. Midines features 256 samples (accessible in two keyboard banks) featuring Roland TR707, TR808, TR909, LINN, Amen and many others.

The NES included is in great condition and has a fully installed NESmod (designed by Low-Gain Electronics). This modification means that 2 mono jack sockets have been installed on the back to give a perfectly clean output for cart audio; additionally the audio output is boosted. Pulse channels are output on the left jack, triangle/wave/noise channels are output on the right jack, if only left output is used, all channels are summed to mono on this output. This circuit also provides protection to your NES's main board from reverse voltage spikes.

All other accessories are in superb condition and are fully functional.

Please note that I will only ship to the UK due to the heavy weight of this item, collection from East London (E9) welcome.

Going back to my original post, I think this looks like it would be too time consuming and expensive for me right now, but thanks Arfink for your excellent explanation.

For the interim I would love to get my hands on a PAL NTRQ cart, I’m not sure if I understand this correctly. But Looking at PowerPak Lite, if someone has a CopyNES system can they flash the ROM onto it for me. Or do you need to have a CopyNES to run a PowerPak Lite?

Basically, I’m just look for a way to get NTRQ on my PAL system cheaply and need help!

I know there are a couple of threads about this on 8BC and elsewhere, but I can’t seem to find clear instructions and I have a few more questions…

I’m looking to put NES ROM’s onto NES carts, mainly fNo Carriers and NTRQ for personal use. I started reading this guide to making your own cart:

http://www.raphnet.net/electronique/nes … art_en.php

But this seems quite complex, Is there someone on here that could break it down simply so I can get this done? I have a Mac, loads of old carts and am prepared to buy an EPROM programmer; additionally I need to know how to break the ROM into PRG and CHR files. I have no experience of writing C and thought this may be a good starting project to get into it.

If this is a lot harder then I anticipate, or anyone has had big problems in trying to do this then please let me know. But the simpler the instructions, the better!

Thanks for any pointers in advance,

O / H
