I'm a little late posting this here, but about a week and a half ago I finally got some replacement boards fabbed for anyone that has a non-working 8 Bit Music Power cartridge. Long story short, the construction and design choices for the original boards are extremely dubious, putting 3v chips on a ...

Reviving this with something hopefully useful, I got myself an HFC4 which means I can record directly from a real Gimmick! cartridge, and since the last post in this topic, I've also gotten my own copy of Gimmick!. This has lead to me finding that there's something odd with how Famitracker handles t...

https://youtu.be/muCPjK4nGY4 Wouldn't that be like voice synthesis using CSM on some Yamaha synth chips? I know of a couple of NSFs that use sines on the Namco163 and a few files on the sharp X1 that accomplish this but they're all anime openings and terrible memes. It's a very impressive concept t...

This is super cool. I did something similar with the triangle when I covered a C-jeff tune (entirely using arpeggio macros), except I had bass, drums, a little melody at the same time.

My PowerPak's CF card pins have started lifting, so using it has become a slight hassle. Would be super interested in a complete-support flash cart with possible monochrome CGB Wideboy mode.

Cool job of using a Yamaha and not an AY.

Thanks, but it doesn't really seem to supply anything that already wasn't figured out (besides showing /IC connected to Vcc which makes sense, considering it resets if it's low), plus it's the other way around. Applesorce is using a LP cartridge to drive a YM2413. Then again, I'm pretty sure I'm hid...

Alright, so I tried it, but for all I know it could be working 100%. The DIP switch to select between on-board YM2413 and VRC7 isn't doing anything as Lagrange Point still works as a sound source despite the switch being in either position (AFAIK, it shouldn't do this at all). I'm out of ideas at th...

Thanks, I'll try that out tomorrow. Hopefully this works and I can get those boards made.

EDIT: I forgot to add. /WE and /CS are tied together on the HFX as well under the socket. Should I just connect W/R and /ROMSEL together since W/R is already connected to /WE and /CS?

I'm attempting to make an adapter for my TNX-HFX4 to free up a cartridge slot (it only has 4, not enough room for the 5th [6th expansion being a YMZ294 taking the place of a 5B]) https://my.mixtape.moe/vunsix.JPG I think I've got everything figured out but when I try this out on the YM2413 socket on...

This reminds me of my failed attempt at wiring an AY-3-8910 to the socket to get the 5B an octave higher. Then I realized you could just connect the clock pin to Lagrange Point's ceramic resonator. EDIT: was just clicking around on the TNS site and found a chart saying that they moved the original 5...

Funny enough, I had no idea this was a thing (shame it's sold out, I actually talked to kitahei88 about getting one of the JP FDS writing solutions), but a few days ago, I actually mocked up an FDS flash menu complete with a cover of the Nintendo Power flash cart music . http://i.imgur.com/fk8xvHo.g...

Quick question: does the 5B require an IRQ signal? When I tried finding the pinout of the HFX4's 40-pin connector a couple of weeks ago to eventually try something out (Pay no attention to the (EXP) markers) I saw pin 25 connected to the IRQ line. Pin 25 is labelled as "No Connection" beca...

I based my 5B mixing on Rainwarrior's Gimmick! cart and bumped the volume a tad (maybe .4 dB) for preference, but besides that, all expansions are based on the NSFs vs. actual gameplay on games that I physically own. Every cartridge and FC has its own mixing variance. For example, any expansion game...

I just put a low-pass filter on the King of Kings TNS NSF playback, and it doesn't help. All that the N163 plays back is an extremely buzzy wave at about 55 Hz (it's a low A. This must be the lowest frequency?) I'm going to try to write an 8-channel NSF tomorrow and see what plays back. Your proble...
