So I signed up for the waiting list a while ago, and I just got an email saying it's my turn. But it turns out I'm broke now. I can pass, but I figured I'd try to pass it along to one of you guys if you wanted. If you paypal me the money then I can buy it and submit your address for shipping. Just an idea.
$214.71 with SIDS, 165.16 without. Plus shipping to wherever you are.
Email me at owenmcgarry @ mac . com
And as you would be getting it straight from the guy, it would not be assembled yet or anything.

I'm trying to sell all but four of mine. The black and white, the underclocked, and one that was my cousin's. I need no more than that.

Topic: FS:Yellow Pro-sound+backlit DMG with NES buttons (0 replies, posted in Trading Post)
A yellow DMG, with NES buttons, DMG d-pad, yellow backlight, 1/8th inch pro-sound. Everything works, used it in two different shows this weekend. But I got me a new one that I will be using from now on. 1/4 inch only in my setup.
There is one issue, that is that the furthest left line of pixels is dead. It makes no difference in LSDJ. And likely is easy to fix with the soldering iron method
Lets start at $70? Make me an offer. I may accept trades, however I need to downgrade my collection of crap so it's unlikely. I'd take lasers > 100mw, SID chips, maybe a decent backlit pocket, with a bit of cash money.
EDIT: I'll ship just about anywhere, if you pay

Re: Got any tips for boosting the chip scene in your area? (52 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Active Knowledge and I have both had great success occasionally playing with experimental indie bands. Play a show with a handful of them, they will bring in a bunch of people, and many of them will be interested in experimental ways of doing music (chiptunz!). It's a good way to get word the scene out to a bunch of people.
Then set up some chip only shows and bring some of them in.
EDIT/EXAMPLE: I played a single show, with some experimental indie band whom I'm friends with, on Martha's Vineyard in the beginning of the summer. There was a huge turnout as it was their release party and also the venue's last show. Then I was back on Martha's Vineyard the other day and like 3 or 4 people flipped out at how great the show was, and apparently a lot more people were "mind blown".

it didn't work, and I do think it's the top screen I'm afraid...

Re: Bricked DS? (16 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I opened it up. And immediately noticed that one of the ribbon cable connectors had some corrosion. It was green on two of the pins. So I unplug it and clean everything down with rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush. But the ribbon cable doesn't look too great, it looks like there was a short circuit that burned the cable itself.
On the left side there, see. I don't think that's normal....

Re: Bricked DS? (16 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
That quick white flashing behavior is also what happens when one of the ribbon cables isn't connected properly, if i remember correctly. So its possible something got jostled out of place or ripped, or your top screen module died. (or bottom, possibly). Maybe open it up and check the ribbon cables?
I'll give this a try I suppose as I have no other options really.
And R4 is still legal in the states, where I am. But I would have pinned it as probable cause if I had just updated firmware, or something, but I've been using this ROM (which could have been bugged, I suppose) and the current setup for about a week now.
