Just find anyone with a floppy drive or get a USB floppy (Internet cafe might have some older computers with floppies, who knows). I'm not sure if STeem works with floppy drives as I've never used it but it would be good to research if you have any saved tracks you want to put on the floppies with musicmon and maxymiser.

If you just want the programs, just format the disk then copy files and you don't need to touch the emulator at all. That's really all it takes to get the programs onto a disk.

If you don't have a floppy drive, buy a USB one, they're super cheap.

You'll have to format the floppies in a dos window with the following command to format the disks as 720k instead of 1.44mb: "FORMAT A: /T:80 /N:9"

After that it's just a matter of dragging and dropping the files onto the disk.

I'm not sure if you're asking if there's any cheaper way to ship because of the long run-on sentence but I'll answer that anyway: there is no cheap way to ship an ST from the UK. I checked shipping a few times and it always came out to be $70-$90 USD.

For your future reference, Googling and dividing your thoughts into multiple sentences can't hurt.

It's not a necessary mod at all. Write music first, mod later.

If the screen is all black and the contrast doesn't change that's an issue too. To replace an LCD you're gonna be replacing the whole front board so may as well get another DMG.

Man, when i see all these cunts about covered in tattoos i just think "fuck you", especially when its 10 year olds with full sleeves (obviously not 10 year olds, but they look about that old)
It's like they went out one day and decided to get half their body covered at once. i always assumed that kind of shit was something you added to over the years.
the only thing worse is those guys with a name on their back or chest

i know a guy with johnny cash on his forearm and it looks terrible.

i dont know why, but i dont like tattoos, maybe its because they seem almost a requirement now amongst all the hipster scum and cool kids about. when i go out it seems like i'm the only one without something printed on me.

tl:dr
pixel tattoos: do not
video game tattoos: do not
that pixelly beach thing posted before: definitely do not.
guns'n'roses tattoos: go ahead.
the name of your friend who died: why?
anything for novelty purposes: it will be less fun in a week.

My old roomate literally covered his entire body within two years in meaningless tattoos. We don't talk much anymore.

Also, excuse me, but who the fuck do you think you are to be telling people what to do with their tattoos. Your post reaks of jealousy, even if you're not, you sound like it.

I think its a good thing that tattoo art is taking off. Some amazing artists out there. Just cause you don't understand something doesn't mean you have to shit on it. Tattooing is a way of life for many, so think twice before writing douchy-ass posts about shit you don't know anything about.

Sorry for the mean post, but tattooing is very dear to my heart and it really pisses me off to hear shit like this.

Why so elitist? The whole "you're just jealous" thing is ridiculous. Godinpants has an opinion, no need to be a dick about it. To each their own, right? Tattooing is great and all but in general from what I've seen, it's getting worse and worse.

A tattoo doesn't have to "mean" anything, if you just want a cool tattoo cause you think its cool, do it!

Things that look cool come and go. What you thought was cool at 18 might not look so cool when you're 25 or 30 etc. I guess tattoos really don't have any meaning any more and that's why there's so many terrible ironic ones out there. Like I said though, it's for you, don't let my opinion get you down. If you want a pixelated seahorse on your face, do it up, just put some thought into it first and come up with the idea on your own or you might regret it shortly after.

If you're asking others for suggestions maybe you should reconsider getting a tattoo. Not being a dick but too many people get terrible tattoos that don't mean anything to them.

While I'm on an honest streak, the pacman idea sounds terrible but don't listen to me if it actually means something to you. Basically anything game related doesn't sound worthwhile, look at all the terrible gamer tattoos online.

Turns out my CA trip isn't happening because United Airlines fucked up. So bummed about having to miss this.

Well, my flight to CA isn't happening. Looks like I'll be getting fucked up with you assholes.
