Honestly it's worth the few extra bucks for a Teensy 3.2 and run the latest Arduinoboy on it, which supports USB MIDI out of the box. $19ish

Actually for USB MIDI and output to gameboy only, without any additional hardware, a Teensy LC should work as well. If you want input you'll need to drop the gameboy's gb->arduinoboy data line to 3.3v. Teensy LC will probably fry at 5v input.

You can get a Teensy LC around ~$11.50

Right, the inputs are not 5v tolerant on an LC but the are very cost effective considering that they have native usb-midi. Plus with all of those analog inputs, you could have some real CC-fun.

Plus the latest Aboy on Github supports Teensy. smile

Bit off topic: There is another aboy version in the works that supports USB<->Many MIDI serials relaying as well as as many gameboys as there are free pins. Just need to figure out how I want to implement the configuration setup. (Either sysex or just simple code editing at the top)

Sigh, it's super easy to flash a Teensy. IT HAS USB FOR THE LOVE OF...

Fine! DIdnt know youd keep a usb jack on it, or have custom hardware without the programmer. Would it also have usb midi?
