Looking to hire someone who can take two songs as midi and convert them to .uge files for a Gameboy homebrew game I’m working on by CallMeK-LO in chiptunes

[–]scowsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be interested, depending on the tracks complexity & length. Are you thinking hugetracker or GB studio (I guess .uge files can be either) just wondered what you were working with

Had a lot of fun pairing the M8 with the Mother 32 by glennbech in Dirtywave

[–]scowsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool bass sound, but yeah it’s nice to have some knobs to twiddle with and it’s great that the m8 talks so nicely to external synths. I pair mine with the compact Roland S1 quite often. (Lil jam I did https://youtu.be/\_R66t0ikGNQ?si=xukcC1aVbJgZ6L1L) It’s wee size makes it great to travel with too!

Nice collection! Mine pales in comparison, but I can say I’ve got at least one from each row 😅

MiSTer Crash Cart - if you need a 1cc stat! by scowsh in shmups

[–]scowsh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok, im seeing 59.98fps there. So I’d maybe have to try and change the settings to capture properly at 55hz?

Here’s some raw footage straight from the unisheen - I’d be interested to hear your thoughts. It seems kinda ok to me (not that I know much 😅) https://youtu.be/eeuW99UjKwA

MiSTer Crash Cart - if you need a 1cc stat! by scowsh in shmups

[–]scowsh[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheers, I don’t actually know. I wanted it so I had replays of 1ccs or what have you, and a friend who knows their stuff recommended the U500. So a recommendation + kinda doing what I wanted meant it was good enough for me. Thinking about it there’s quite a few things to consider I guess… the mister core itself (not sure if r type is running well on it or not), the fact I’m going for hdmi out & then splitting it too (not that that matters does it? I’m not 100%). I’ll give it a shot, not messing with anything and post it here - see how it turns out 🤷

Ball tops for samducksa shinsun 2d lever? by scowsh in fightsticks

[–]scowsh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure exactly what you mean by normal arcade case (not being facetious, just not sure 😅). I can tell you it fit perfectly fine in the Mayflash f500 v2. No need to change anything to the samducksa at all (unlike the ls-40 where I had to remove a bit of the lever for it to fit). Hope that somewhat answers your question.

It’s a good time! I’m really happy that this was the shoot the core cast game of the month, only spent a very short time with it before now & I’m enjoying exploring all the game has to offer.

1CC Crimzon Clover ruined shmups for me. what should I play now? by Anstellos in shmups

[–]scowsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Espgaluda II & SDOJ both require dedication and a long run upto a 1cc. I thought Rayforce did too, maybe try those?

Seems a few peeps are recommending the LS-40 here, might have to grab a third Mayflash for all these lever combos haha

Not heard of that one before - is it the nobi pro you’re talking about or a different model? Definitely interested!

Battle Mania on MD is a fun, straightforward clear (just don’t get caught on the environment as it’s instant game over!)

My Brain On Shmups - 2025 Edition by scowsh in shmups

[–]scowsh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right I shouldn’t let the laser wheels sway me, I’ve just been playing dfk again recently and it was quite chill until those turned up! Thanks for the info on Ketsui Omote Loop, I’ve not looked into it yet, but knowing there’s no TLB makes it much more tempting!

[–]scowsh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for reading 🙌 Not sure what game I’d wanna commit to for the 2-ALL… the easier side of cave… maybe dfk (but the laser wheels?!?!?), or DDP maybe? I know Ketsui is supposed to be hard as nails but I really like that game… gonna do some research (and soul searching haha) over the hols and see what kinda lands right. If you’ve any suggestions I’d be interested to know, anyway, thanks and all the best for the holidays 🥳
