about the mega memory and its family: yeah, could be very useful. but ive heard negative things about them, corrupting saves and such. and if i use my ems cart i can just as well back up my saves to the pc 
gba sp speaker... well if i include a speaker then probably a nds lite one as i still have it lying around here. not sure if its the same as the sp one, but its also very flat and gives good sound.
]]>so im not quite sure if i got how the variable over/underclock works.
as im always short on money and because i like diy better than premade, instead of buying a variable overclock set for the dmg id like to make my own.
but im not sure if this kinda setup would work basically?
note that im pretty much an electronics noob at most areas
edit: actually i wanted to use 2mhz instead of 4 in that pic
i've tried this myself; logically, it should work right? unfortunately it does not at all lol. the crystals produce a frequency, not a current, so using variable resistance (a pot) doesn't let you adjust them, it just blocks the signal. all the way to one side or the other works, but you get no adjustment between them. i actually have hand wired a few variable pitch mods instead of buying them pre-made, but take it from me man; if you're not really REALLY good with your iron its better to just buy the $10 pcd from somewhere.
These are the mods i offer, if you're still looking for ideas you might get a few looking at it

-GBA SP Speaker
-Internal Mega Memory Card accessory
those would probably prove useful

ill open up a work log here as soon as i can start ( = my gameboy finally arrives). like i said, i dont know if ill have to extend the gameboy case so it may become ugly before the final cosmetic acts ]]>actually i think ill build in one of those battery meters that shows you the voltage in numbers and put in a 7.4v li po battery.
ohhhh, that sounds neat! post pics if you do it please!

90% of that stuff you don't really "need".
i think except for the biversion i dont need any of that
i saw that thread, but is that pretty much a complete list of possible mods or just a lot?
Well, you said you wanted to know all possible mods for dmg.
Here's some superficial mods you may have overlooked:
- Switch out the buttons
- light up/glow in the dark buttons
- Paint the case
- alternate battery indicator light color
- custom screen cover
- protective case
- fur coat
hes hinting to u to move ur subject to that thread
If you read the DMG build blog thread, there's an extensive list of different mods that are available for a DMG. I think that's what 9-heart was referring to.
]]>-li po rechargeable battery
-backlight
-pro sound 3.5mm and rca
-variable overclock
-pitch bend (dunno how yet though)
-keyboard plug (usb or ps2)
-nes controller plug (simple rewiring, ill use a megadrive cable and a d-sub plug)
With all of those mods i doubt you'll be able to fit in a rechargeable LI PO battery. Unless you maybe stuck it in where the AA batteries usually sit? You could perhaps even cut the whole battery compartment out but leave enough so that the battery cover still sits in there?
As for the mods, i'm fairly certain "Variable Overclock" and "Pitch Bend" are basically the same thing. Pitch bending just uses a potentiometer to change the clock speed as opposed to having a static clock speed. I'd recommend the Variable Clock v4 from thursdaycustoms. That'll give you some space for other things. You can fit RCA plugs on the bottom right side of the back PCB if you drill a bit out of the battery compartment inside (but if you're getting rid of it for the above mod then you won't have to.
You can fit both a 3.5mm jack and a 6.5mm jack in a DMG if you move the skinny bit of PCB from the left to the right of the back plate (Just desolder the existing wires and re-solder longer ones - note down the order of the connected wires before you desolder them!). Check out @joeteach on instagram to see what i mean.
Not sure about many other mods you can do without an arduinoboy. Check out my external variable clock mod in the Circuit Bending section in the forums. Might be of interest.
