I literally just either borrow short tones I hear from time to time and make something out of that.

OR

I just input random notes into LSDJ at varying points, tweak 'em a bit, and BAM!!! a melody.

My methods aren't really that good tho tongue

This pretty much sums up what I do too.

God dang I'm hyped! I'll purchase one as soon as they come out!

Yeah I took one look at the website and...no. I'll never trust a "company" that tells me they will distribute my music, free of charge, to all major digital stores, then give me 100% of the profit.

Well, its just my 2 cents. So far they haven't screwed me, but admittedly I've only made like 7.50 tongue
(And of course I feel I need to justify the $20 I spent, so my reasoning may not be the most objective)

http://distrokid.com/ $20 a year, and you can upload unlimited tracks on Spotify. (They will also be uploaded to itunes, and several other places) You should check them out!

the 32M types have solder tabs on them, which you don't need

Ahhh ok, good to know.

Maybe one of these http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/32 … nt-battery , though, It says for 32m not 64 so I'm not sure it would work the same.

Thanks smile I've been playing music most of my life. I started piano when I was ~8 and played until I was ~14. I then played drums in a pop-punk band until I was about 25. I'm 29 now. I've only really dabbled in electronic music and I've only been using LSDJ for about a month but I love it. It's just so much fun. I love chipmusic smile

Well you are doing an outstanding job! Keep up the good work!

This is some good music! How much musical experience do you have?

I can see this replacing the EMS USB as the next beginner level cart, it's nice so many people are into it. I'm probably getting one myself.

IDK, when you could buy 2 64M carts and a flasher for 15$ less than one derp cart, it might almost take over as the cart to have.

As far as recording goes, I don't know too much.
EDIT: When I did have some songs that ran together pretty well, the guy who mastered my music took care of that, edited them together, and got the timing right and everything.

But as far as whats songs I use; I submit a lot of the unmastered singles, here and on soundcloud, and I figure out which ones get the most plays, positive feedback, ect. and then I will normally use those, as well as 3-8 others that I have not previously released.

So I got my linker working today, and it's awesome. I have a couple of questions that I didn't see answers for anywhere, so I figured I'd give them a shot:

For a sec I was mystified by the Com# function in the utility. (Runtime error 8002, lol.) I just punched in numbers until it worked, but I could see how that might be frustrating for some folks. Maybe bundle a readme/FAQ/setup guide with the Utility setup folder?

Will the patched .sav files play back on any specific Gameboy emulator? They fail ROM checksums in BGB. Any way to unpatch .savs?

What about that standalone ROM you were working on? How does that work as far as an EMS card is concerned - just load both on one page or LSDJ on one page and the Utility ROM on the other?

The new features sound rad man. Looking forward to em'.

As far as the Com# goes this is how you find it. (Assuming you are using windows)
1. Plug the linker into your compy
2. Open your "Device Manager"
3. Look for the "Ports (COM & LPT)
4. Expand that option, and Com number you need will be the number to the far right of "USB Serial Port (COM#)
It'll look something like this.
