Analog Industries Gets a MidiNES Nintendo Music Cart
Audio developer and blog personality Chris Randall at Analog Industries has acquired a Wayfar MidiNES cartridge. This gem is a genuine 8-bit NES cartridge that converts your Nintendo game system into a MIDI device so you can sequence it, control it with other devices (with some work), etc. Chris is blogging the results: he’s got initial impressions and a more detailed review with MP3 demo and even a Cubase/Nuendo device map you can download.
Best of all, Chris is taking my suggestion of rack-mounting an NES for music purposes. That’s the good news. The bad news is, he thinks he’s going to get my Nintendo DS when he’s done. I don’t want to shake his motivation, so, erm, sure, Chris, you *might* wind up with my DS when it’s done.
Let’s see, I did technically say: “I’ll find some kind of prize. You can have my Nintendo DS or something.” So now I just have to figure out what “or something” could be . . . Stay tuned. Chris, sure you don’t want to trade an imported DS Lite for my ‘classic’ DS? -PK

Wayfar midines is a scam.
Dont trust wayfar. They take your money and leave you with nothing.
I paid for midines 2 months ago, sent numerous emails to wayfars so called support, with no reply and opened a paypal dispute which will probably go no where.
Beware of these scamming pieces of crap!!!

wayfar is probably backed up on account of being one person…give him a little bit and you’ll get your cartridge.

i understand some1 being backed up and im not normally like this. The demand is high and its a lot for one person. But c’mon, how hard is it to reply to at least 1 of my many many emails. even if it was to say “haha, i screwed you” or whatever. A courtesy email after payment would be nice. I dont understand how this can even be a business. i purchased it around the start of june, its now october.

haha.
Your 100% right tho. Everyone talks but no one does anything.
Paypal doesnt work. I filled a complaint. and won. What did i win. Nothing. Paypal said they ruled in my favour, but he had no money in his paypal account so no refund and they couldnt get in contact with him. If he puts money in his account they say ill get a refund, but im not holding my breath. that was mayb 4 or 5 months ago.
Whats next?
