I don't see my entry up in there (cover), what happened? I got a "submission successful" message when I did.
Scratch that, I see it, named it differently to what I had in the editor.

We have a pretty efficient system with wholesalers for most of our products. When we're putting products into production, our wholesalers add their order on top of our existing order. Thus increasing our own quantity higher than it would've been had they not ordered. So in reality, they reduce how often we go out of stock. This isn't the case for certain products, because we're deliberately selling out of some in anticipation for newer models.
Also bear in mind that these guys pay somewhere around 30% in duty fees, and the express shipping fee on top of that. Considering this, it's pretty difficult for us keep the MSRP universal.
For this particular case, I completely retract my previous statement.

Ah, saw the title, remembered some painful things and evolved into full blown blind nerd rage, evilscientist summed it up before me and I didn't even notice. Forgive me.

And as far as parts go, I'm happy enough ordering anything I need from Kitsch, I'd never buy individual parts from someone that had just ordered a load from Kitsch, it annoys me when you see things out of stock on Kitsch-bent because someone's selling them for an inflated price on ebay UK.
Same went for ASM cases.
It hurt to see the price of postage (within the UK no less) being more expensive than the cost of shipping directly from overseas AND the silicone buttons/cases themselves.
I've said this time and time again I have no qualms against the original sellers themselves, they have a business to run, and if someone wants to wholesale, then I'd be a dick to tell them not to, I just wish the UK resellers weren't so cheeky in the prices they set, and the sense of no choice for anyone. I wanna happy medium wherein everyone has a choice, and all establishments are sustained.
I can't imagine the frustration over stock for people living in the USA however, hot damn.
Staying on topic, I think the warranties are a brilliant idea, especially for made to order type things. Before I decided to suck it up and start building my own systems, one of the things that stopped me often was the fear of "what if, when this arrives, it falls completely to pieces and I have no idea how to fix it? It's modded so I can't go to the original manufacturer and/or the guy who made it sold it 'as is'!"
Even though I know quite a bit about gameboy stuff now, I couldn't imagine opening up one of my A500's and I wouldn't want to even look at my A1200 for fear of breaking it just by doing so. So for more of the rarer systems, I'd recommend formulating some sort of service where you can send in units for work. I'd recommend a solicitor or something to write up a waiver for you though, in case someone sends in a bunk machine and it dies on you.

So long as you don't do that incredibly shitty thing of completely buying out a overseas worldwide shipping competitors entire stock and selling it on to the UK chiptune community at an incredibly high markup...
*Loud cough*
Then I'm pretty certain I'll end up purchasing from you.
Seriously though, glad to see more UK distributors setting up shop and facilitating the passion.

Afro, because its my current, and only hairstyle that suits me and ever will.
Wolf, because I wanted a powerful animal in my name, and I was a huge fan of starfox growing up. Afrofox however didn't quite roll off the tongue :3

You tell it to go to level 15, it adds tracks written by the composer to the mix, in order to give a realistic feel that the music is adapting to the game world, just like in a film.
To be honest, if I was anywhere near able to make a game as I am now, for a chiptune based game I'd rather sort that out and mix the tracks myself and add the instruments as I see fit.
I'd rather the player experience the soundscape that I, the designer, specifically intended them to experience, rather than that generated by an algorithm.

Topic: Arduinoboy: Arduino's GND vs GB Link cable GND (2 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Heya people,
Dumb question for some smart people.
Just following Trash80's schematic, and I'm unsure where to tie the GB link cables' GND to, My first thought was to tie it to the GND on the arduino nano's board, but each will have their own independent power supply. (GB 4x+1.5V batteries, Arduinoboy, +5V PC USB)
So my question is, can I get away with tying the link cable's GND to the GND on the Arduino? Or do I have to add in an extra optoisolator somewhere?
Many thanks in advance.

Am I the only one who straight-up enjoyed listening to his ramblings?
Would totally be down for this but I got my exams over the coming month so I'm swamped.
If there are any tracks left by the end of June I'll snap them up.
