Yes, you can make your own VCDs with Nero Express.

Additionally, I will soon build a script so that anyone can create their own all-in-one Karaoke discs using SEGAKARA+GYPPLAY, which will not depend on Boot Kara+VCD.

I will be waiting for this. I'd like to be able to create my own Segakara+Gypplay VCD with a menu of all available songs on one cd. Will your new version allow multiple songs on one CD?
(I'd like to put all of The Rolling Stones greatest hits on one VCD).

Me! I'm having some trouble with it right now (I blew the PSU up) but I'm working on having it back online ASAP

Have you swapped out the capacitor yet? Did you get it fixed?

My Karaoke Unit showed up today! Finally!!

Yeah, now it doesn't blow up when I boot the console up, but I'm not getting any image to the TV through the karaoke, only sound. I'm afraid that something else might have popped up. I've tried with multiple cables (hdmi and RCA) and I only get sound with the RCA.
As for the repairs, it was only the capacitor and a couple of diodes. 20€ total including labor

Did you ever build the script? My karaoke unit arrived from Japan and it would be cool to test it out.

I did, plan to release this weekend. You can test with many ready made karaoke images. Check it out at bit.ly/scrivanidc



Edit: I'm waiting for work and personal tasks to allow me time to finish the last details of the script.
