Yes... Yes.... That is true DJ style=p
Its always nice to see new things that can be done with old equipment.
Destroyers of Joy.
Two people with a DS=a turntable conversation! That would be stupidly cool.

First there was Guitar Hero and Rock Band.....so now what, Scratch Hero?!?
More like BeatMania -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatmania
From Konami. You know, the people who pretty much invented GH and RB, but sucked so hard at managing their IP that they gave way to Harmonix and EA.
The guy above me only speaks half truths. Beatmania has been around forever, they didn't "give way" to harmonix/ea, nor did they "invent GH or RB. They started a beatmani revolution and more importantly games such as ddr/etc followed in it's footsteps.
The game requires a lot of skill and is hard, that's why it didn't do well over here. They even made the grading system easier for the PS2 american release.
I actually developing that (scratch Hero) as a casual game. but not for the ds but the ps3/psp. Hoping someone at Sony is reading this.slated for a Christmas releaseit will blow gh, rb and this out of the water.(proverbial water that is)
Kainr
Konami make GuitarFreaks/Drummania which paved the way to GH/RB
that was sick. even got the famously used "ah yea" sample.
So I assume this is a homebrew thing? Anyone know the source? I want this!!!!
Wow, Scratch record in my pocket. Too cool. I wonder if you will be able to use the l/r triggers to cut the fader on and off for some transformer scratches. Also, not sure how to crab the D-Pad. Do want.
It'd probably sound like crap but going off your idea with the L + R shoulder buttons, its probably possible to crab one of those buttons. Now I just need to know where I get this!
I was really impressed with how authentic alot of the scratching was. I dont know if I'd get a DS just for this. I think i will stick to making scratch sounds on my windbreaker zipper.... I'm nice like that...
There is an APP that lets you scratch with the multi-touch trackpad tho....
link later.
Pretty stinkin' neat, though I hear a lot of digital distortion in the scratches.
Way to show up late to the party - I have been rockin this on my ds since november. Even got my own sample breaks on there. You use the directional pad for effects, cross fading, and play/stop. Catch the hell up!
post a link please then. some of us just got their ds today( traded a psp for it)have 3 left(psp's).
yep...this is old...like way old
Lol, now that's hot!
Don't forget that the DS has a built in microphone. I have no idea if the above software uses it or not, but the potential to sample on the fly would be pretty cool.

The Download link is dead. Could somebody please upload the file somewhere?
Hasn't this been around for a while?
Fun gizmo, but considering I actually have DJd, there's just no true replacement. Heck even those CD "turntables" were kinda silly to me. Neat tech demo, but you just can't beat firing up the 1's and 2's!
Anyone know where/how to get this?
that is awesome
