I love the 8bit cheering audience! ;D

Dude congratulations! I think this is an awesome start for you guys. I agree with cimo in that it's not as catchy as, I think, it potentially could be. I mean, it's a project so it def sounds like you guys are testing the waters of your setup. But, damn you guys got a lot of sound for 2 dudes. Can you guys reproduce this stuff live like the recordings?

OK so after lurking around the forums for a month or so I've come to realize that this community is not at all what I took for face value at first. I've realized that everyone makes the contributions here and had no clue that awesome places like this were even around. With that being said, I'd like to withdraw the blatant ignorance from my initial praise and ...I think that's perfect.

almost everyone ;) Being a Korean linguist and then learning about electronics and computer programming for music's sake on the side completely tear my world apart.

I totally have to borrow the nostalgia.

I thought this was a cool idea. Shows how uncool my ideas are. :P

*retard question edited out* I'll just order some new DINs and cores. If that doesn't work then I'm cursed.

I was using a multimeter for test on the SI. Excluding D7 - The rest of the pins on J3 brought 5.08 down to 5.07. And these don't trigger anything either. If that means anything. Well if I did fry something, that situation happened with only one DINX4 and I have three. So the shock most likely was some static but this happened only on one DIN, not all three. Once again, thank you seppoman, bugfight, Echopraxia, stryd_one, SLP, nILS, and cimo for helping me out here. This is extremely frustrating. I've followed everything word for word, I have two SIDs and a core right now that are working perfectly, no problems whatsoever. But, this damn DIN problem is completely bogus.

OK so when I test the button pressed at the DIN pin (It's hooked to D7 on J3, which should give me an ensemble root menu) the voltage drops from 5V(unpressed) to 0V(pressed). Also, I tested the corresponding 165 pin which gave me the exact same results: 5V(unpressed) to 0V(pressed). However when I test the SI line on the DIN board it shows me this: 5V(unpressed) 0.45V(pressed) And it follows through to the core's SI line the same way: 5V(unpressed) 0.45V(pressed) Is that right? Or am I supposed to be seeing 0V through the SI line too?

5/8 time signature

So showing all this I'm guessing I just need to buy new 74HC165s? Does anyone know if they are really so fragile that they could've fried from static shock or something without me realizing?

OK I got my PIC running again. A damn IC socket pin pierced one of the wire bridges at the bottom of the core. Unstabbing that wire fixed everything. 8)<---not Ok here's what I got. : RC: 5.08 SC: 5.08 : RC: 5.08 SC: 5.08 : RC: 5.08 SC: 5.08 : RC=LD=pin#1: 5.08 SC=CLK=pin#2: 5.08 All SCs in each separate test shows 0.01 when SC is not selected and all RCs in each separate test shows 0 when RC is not selected.

Holy crap. So the problem was that one of the pins from the IC Socket pierced the insulation in one of the two wire bridges made on the bottom of the core. Geez what the hell. Everything's working perfectly again. Gotta get those orders of operation down, man. :-[

??????!

??????!

The originals are composed extremely well. Very nice progressions. ;D I must says nILS, your work is quite the inspiration. Not only a MidiBOX/Pokey guru but some good tracks here too. High Speed

Gaaah! I'll be hearing this in my sleep!

Man I can't wait to hear it! :D

wrongness

I went and opened up mine out of curiosity and was like,"WTF is this stuff?!"

:-[ sorry My thoughts exactly. But, no it doesn't. Well if that's true then I'm gonna have to try that as soon as I get my malfunctioning PIC to stop being such a jerk. >:(

And it's a good thing because goofy asses like me who don't understand how this kind of stuff works, starts freaking out and think re-uploading the BSL will magically fix something...and get straight up denied. :-[ I will keep trying this, maybe I'll get lucky eventually. There's these little metal tentacles growing from where the PIC pins used to be...is that a big problem??? :o

I have a similar problem but: this is not working. I'm getting no response from the PIC that was working perfectly yesterday. It's 4685 that was working perfectly until I uploaded the MBSID 1.7 into it, out of curiosity. After having issues with 1.7 and my, previously working, bansticks I uploaded 2.0 again and it doesn't respond to anything. I've tried uploading MIOS again, but even after it does so, I still get black bars. It's frozen. I've come across similar situations throughout the forum topics but the solutions offered do not solve the problem. So is there a simple way to completely wipe the PIC and start from scratch and start again from the ground up and burn the bootstraploader? Once again I've tried many different solutions already provided from different threads but I get no results. And when someone asks how to perform some memory wipe procedure, the answer was avoided and instead a different solution was given.

OK I give up. There's nothing else I can do but buy some new DIN chips. I must have done something (what it is I have absolutely no clue) to fry the damn things. No. Sorry I should have specified more clearly. I tested them one DIN module at a time and they all responded the exact same way, with some current flowing through but the DIN pins would not react to being grounded. So it has to be the HC Chips. Apparently they're super sensitive or something. I listed the pin numbers for the HC's. Just in case some voltage levels were wrong and someone would happen to notice. Well, case closed on this one, I guess. Just gonna have to order some more and try again later. In the meantime gotta figure out how to control the SID's sound parameters and MIDI assignments through MIOS. Particularly how to get the same kind of functions a control surface would have through software of some sort. (Hopefully it's not to big of a pain.) Time to read some more WIKIs and forum. Thank you to everyone who been helping me out. I really do appreciate the support. I gotta say, this shit aint easy for a first time project. :P

I miss Austin, I miss Waterloo Records and I miss Proper Gander.
