About this episode

Saturday I played with Starscream and Cheap Dinosaurs at the 8static show in Philadelphia. This is the first song of the first set of the night: Starscream (Damon on chip, George on drums) and my visuals. You can hear tracks by both bands on MySpace. I generated the video live using the Open Emu QC plugins (openemu.sourceforge.net), which let me play original NES ROMs in emulation, live. I used two ROMs, one written by No Carrier (no-carrier.com) and another called Polar Pinwheel by Chris Covell (nesdev.parodius.com/#NESChris). These ROMs are being played totally live -- no pre-recorded video -- and partway through the song No Carrier picked up the controller and jammed with me. :) If you're interested in using No Carrier's ROM, watch my blog and/or his site for its upcoming release (free and open source).
