Stanton Final Scratch was released in 2002 and was developed for Stanton by N2IT members Mark-Jan Bastian, Bill Squire and Tim Hemel. The DJ market was never the same again.
What's more it initially ran exclusively on linux, making it pretty unique in the history of DJ hardware and software.

I've tried the following things to get ISA soundcards working on Windows 98 :
* Updating motherboard BIOS (it was already latest, same error). (EDIT : tried some older BIOSes, same result) * Disabling all unused hardware/ports/etc in BIOS and removing all hardware except graphics card (same error) * Trying a few different AGP/PCI graphics cards in case it's a conflict there (same error) * Enabling/Disabling ACPI, reinstalling windows each time (same error) * Enabling/Disabling "PNP OS Installed" in BIOS with ACPI disabled, reinstalling windows each time (same error) * Trying various versions of the Via 4-in-1 chipset drivers (same error) * Trying several versions of soundcard drivers (same error) * Manually adding the soundcard in Add New Hardware so the "resources" tab appears - on next reboot I get two soundcards in device manager (both not working) * Trying on Win95 instead (similar error, forget exact text) * Trying DOS and even Windows XP instead of 9x on same motherboard (works perfectly) * Testing both soundcards in other PCs with Win9x (works perfectly)Upgrading Vestax PDX2000 to PDX3000 by hacking firmwareTheRasteri2021-09-20 | Running the PDX3000 firmware on a PDX2000 to give it MIDI support! -- Your trustable pcb prototype partner : pcbway.com

Instructions to get this to work : (do not attempt this unless you're good at soldering/linux/etc)
1. Cross-compile fbDOOM for ARM - github.com/maximevince/fbDOOM 2. Put it on a USB stick alongside DOOM.WAD from the shareware release (or full version if you like) 3. Connect a 3.3v UART to port CN1002 on the main PCB (1=3.3v, 2=TXD, 3=RXD, 4=GND) 4. Get Root ( twitter.com/G33KatWork/status/1146860035085086720 ) 5. kill rbp 6. run fbDOOM from the usb stick (it gets mounted in /media/usbx/sda1)

Workflow to convert goes like this -
* Load MIDI file in Ableton * Line notes up with the grid using track "Orig. BPM" function * Quantize everything * Arrange down to 5 tracks (use your creativity!) * Export tracks as individual MIDI files (Ableton doesn't support Type1 MIDI... grumble...) * Merge individual files to one multi-track file using MidiEditor * Import into FamiTracker 0.4.2 (latest versions remove MIDI support) * Save module and load in latest FamiTracker * Set up instruments * Clean everything up (Add note OFFs, pitch bend, velocity, etc etc)DOOM on NES!TheRasteri2019-06-04 | Technical details / build guide : youtube.com/watch?v=gCWhWBtu0LA

You'll notice that the SD card reader in the final shot is different to the cheap one I soldered on.

Common errors fixed by this tutorial (to help people googling) -
01:39 - "You must first run the installation wizard" is cured by editing the Registry
02:15 - "Visual Basic 6.0 Professional Setup was not completed successfully" is fixed by rerunning the installer with no options selected
03:01 - "Can't find file DAO350.dll" is fixed by manually registering it
03:23 - "Unexpected Error; quitting" is fixed by copying the DLLs from the VBA folder in "common files\microsoft shared" to the main VB6 program folder
03:43 - SP6 fixes the "Object Library not registered" error when attempting to add certain older OCX files, for example RICHTX32.OCX (Rich Textbox Control) and MSCOMCTL.OCX (Windows Common Controls)
03:53 - Running a repair install fixes the "Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 6 Setup was not completed successfully." error you get immediately after clicking the license agreement for SP6 install
04:26 - Adding the installdir to the 64bit registry fixes the error where you install SP6 (version 9782 / 6.0.9782) but it stays at the old version (8176 / 6.0.8169)
