Music Albums on Game Cartridges (C64 & Megadrive)

Looking at a couple of music releases on Computer/Game Cartridges
DUB CRT - datadoor.net/d...
Technoptimistic - remute.bandcam...
You can listen to the DUB CRT tracks (and watch the videos) here: datadoor.bandc...
With regard to my request at the end - there have been lots of suggestions of ‘you could do something I suppose with a Raspberry Pi’ also many have sent me the results of their google search - that’s something I’ve already tried over the years. A search of what exists already brings up expensive devices from Critter & Guitari (all their analog devices are discontinued) - they just do HDMI now and their range wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. A search also brings up some old abandoned projects. One of the Patrons to the channel is trying to build one of these now so it will be interesting to see how that goes. There have been a few people mentioning £800 video performance devices - No. I’m thinking £50ish (that seems plenty - given the current cost of Pi type power) - I’m not looking public performance, no knob twiddling or button pushing to change the output. I’d want something that you’d just turn on and it would cycle through it’s display modes.
So just to recap the idea - I mentioned the Atari Video music as it’s a consumer device that takes audio in and outputs video. However it’s not perfect it’s 40-odd years old and I already own one - that was just a base point to explain the concept of the idea. Imagine today’s cheap compact computing power being put to the same purpose. Imagine a box that can take in audio and output a Milkdrop style visualiser. You’ll see lots of people mentioning old consoles too - those get their audio from their built in CD player, they are also large and require wall power.
So summary.. 2019 low power cheap tech in a box - audio in - video out - proper visualiser, like Milkdrop or ITunes Visualiser not just some glitchy random nonsense - when it’s on its on and working straight away. No keyboard, configuration, messing about with settings - a Visualiser in a box.
Yes it doesn’t exist and that’s why I suggested it. You won’t find this with a google search - it wasn’t a request for someone to do google search for me - it was a suggestion of an idea for anyone with time on their hands to explore. I’m not a techy - loads of people out there are and there’s probably one who’s sat on their hands not knowing what project to start work on next and perhaps this will be the idea that sparks something.

    Great video! Thanks for featuring and reviewing Technoptimistic! Regarding the copyright claim - just to clarify: I am very sorry, but I did not generate this claim myself / manually. These are getting generated by the Content-ID bots of my digital music distributor and as it is an automated process there is unfortunately no way for me to manualy 'prevent' these claims. Anyway: I really love Techmoan's channel and would never ever myself do a copyright claim! The replacement music is fun though.

    VHS cassette tapes in my opinion do have a distinctive nostalgic look, especially as they are played quite a few times, gathered dust, copied over in LP/EP mode, etc. for me _personally_ not because it was the very best technology available at the time, but because it's how I watched home movies and recorded little home videos. Also, technically, 2 x VHS VCRs = tape to tape ;-)

    Thank you so much for the great coverage of dubCRT! There will be a second version sometime next year :) Just for the record it should be used on an 8580 SID which is not in an sx64 :) The project set out to do something new with old hardware and am so glad if people at the very least find it interesting! 4mat’s code is generating the visuals directly from sid data in channel 3 of the sid chip, and there are some hidden sections that can be accessed easily from the version that is downloadable on csdb.

    Hello Techmoan, there is a technology you are looking for at the end of this video. It is a software called VSXu Visualizer. I did exactly what you wanted to do with it with a bunch of CRT TVs (3 - 15 TVs!) hooked up to a Composite splitter, all showing the same music-reactive image from the PC. We put the program in the autostart folder, so it started with the computer. And you can set a computer to boot when it gets power in the bios settings. About the size, we ran the software on an old Core2 Quad, so you should find a more modern small form factor pc capable of doing the job. I hope this helps, cheers!

    Not all versions of the original playstation did this. The launch edition did not to my knowledge (my version did not and was an earlier version than my friend's, so I'm making this assumption). Also, fyi for techmoan, the so called "PS One" was actually a very different second version of the first playstation, visually obviously different, made much smaller, and with different styling. I'm pretty certain that version had the music visualizer.

    Hey Techmoan, awesome video as usual! Have you ever heard of the YM2017 Sega Genesis cartridge album? It was released by Catskull Electronics back in 2017 and features an LED matrix visualizer on the board which can be seen through the translucent cart, it's really neat! The music on it was submitted by various artists, and only a select few were chosen out of them all due to storage limitations (I made it on there btw, I composed Festicity Zone!). The carts are long sold out, however the album did get a vinyl release through Yetee Records, and I collaborated with Catskull to put out a cassette release on my label, Lazer Burn Audio, which also contains all the other music that didn't make it on the cart! As of writing this, there are still several vinyl records available of it, and although the cassettes were a pre-order I ran, I still do have a couple unlisted extras, willing to send you one if you'd like! Also I did a full rip/showcase of the cartridge edition here, from a model 1 Genesis: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ooWmy6t_qqjagcY.html

    Why punish the artist? Their label "Believe Music" is responsible, encourage the artists to find a better one. I would think that if you bought the cartridge, that "Believe Music" mob wouldn't see a dime, but the artists chose them to get their music on to Spotify/iTunes/etc. That's a guess though. Further Edit: The actual content of the Remute cartridge is available freely (thanks to another commenter for pointing this out). So there you go, you never have to purchase anything from them anyway! :)

    Fun note as small time collector: That mega drive cartridge is shaped to be universally compatible with all models of mega drive. European and US units have a uniquely shaped bottom with back corners that make the western consoles without physical modification incompatible with Japanese and other Asian mega drive cartridges. Japanese and other Asian Mega Drive systems on other hand have a Gameboy like mechanism that latches into small notch on left side of the cartridge and mechanically stops user from turning on the system unless the mechanism is physically removed from the console or western cartridge without such slot by default is modified rather violently to have such a slot. Mega drive did not employ region lockout programming until later half of it's life and many titles are essentially region free aside these differences. Only official title I can think of is Sonic & Knuckles with it's unique cartridge that is the one and same for all regions minus packaging and the cartridge label, but these artists employed the same design in their otherwise western like cartridge. TL;DR: It is very nice that REMUTE makers made the cartridge physically region free, too - it even might include detection and speed modifications based on which video signal speed it is outputting (50/60hz)

    That packaging format is particularly big in Japan at the finer retailers which 'present' the purchase to the customer (vs negative experiences like blister-pak). The upshot for what seems a one-time thing, is to reward the buyer as well as stand apart from the competition. As a result Japan has a bit of a presentation arms-race among retailers. You also find it with premium products and fine consumables like candy (with magnetic fold out boxes and the like). Apple has openly admitted to being a fan of this (and largely succeeds in-spite of reductions for space allotments for air-shipments). As a package designer, I'll always geek-out when a good presentation comes along. The dubCRT people are obviously brilliant nutters.

Only about 45 seconds of audio could fit in memory, but still was damned impressive to hear AM broadcast quality music coming out of a stock C64 machine - in the 80's! Even more so if you know how the voices actually worked in the machine. The earliest MP3s (probably more like WAVs given how they likely did it).

    Ooh I know the Answer. It is quite clever. The Gameboy Player gave some special features to games that support it (such as rumble and multiplayer for Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga). The way it announced that it is Gameboy Player enhanced was not through a pin on the cartridge but by putting the gameboy player logo on the screen, then a gameboy player will recognize the logo and tell the game to activate the advanced features. Because the Gamecube had no way to detect whether someone is recording like the Playstation 2 could. Majesco just CYAed and put the Gameboy Player logo on screen. Then if the Gameboy Player asked for enhanced features it disabled itself. That also explains why to show the "Not Compatible with Gameboy Player" they first show "Gameboy Player" and then "Not Compatible with". Edit: Also, why the eck would a pirate try to distribute 160p 8fps video. with worst compression than CD video on a CED videodisk.
