Latest GBA music cart from Oasis is out, it's Slippery Slope by Monster Teeth. As I'm writing this, it went from 3 copies left to 2, so I'm just gonna post the link here and put it in the OP as already sold out.

256MB(!!)-- might be a new record for a music cart

Also they mentioned they're working on N64 carts for early next year but aren't totally sure they'll work out. Geez now I gotta track down an HDMI-modded N64 how the heck am I gonna find that?

Also I'm drinking after a long week and the booze is definitely working happy Friday!

Yep, all of these oasis releases are like that. Theyre not chiptune at all, its more about the visuals and aethetic physicality of the experience.

A handful of music carts already just play PCM audio through the console (zao, a winner is you, hyperdub, etc), effectively working like an mp3 player. But, the experience can still be uniquely rich and enjoyable. My favorite example of this is the Note! Sega CD album. The visuals and interface are so compelling it feels like they're somehow playing a concert inside of the console itself.
