Also, pay attention to the CPU revision of the GBC (if you're planning to go for that path) and make sure it's a -04 or -05. I've had nasty experiences with other revisions (-02 kept killing notes that used P and V commands).

yes i was aware of that

if form is important, build an SP into a DMG shell.

I'd like to keep my sanity thanks

If you need faster processing you should go for GBC or GBA /SP

And if form is important, build an SP into a DMG shell.

Yeah I'd go for GBC over GBP.

Have you considered a GBA though? SP perhaps?

I've highly considered them but I hate their form factors.

The GBA is hard to use because of the janky select button placement and the SP can only go out through a 3rd party connector and it's a clamshell.

So I'm about to plan out my first mod because it's been 3 years of me sittin here twidlin my dick tryin to make music and my shit keeps breaking.

I really like the DMG, but it's falling behind on me and can't keep up with my workload. Slowdowns, skipped notes, etc...

I've heard that the GBC is a great option, but they only lighting option is a frontlight that imho looks awful. On the other hand, the GBP has a similar form factor and the ability to be backlit, but I don't know what the speed of the processor is and if it would even be able to handle my workload. There's also very little documentation I've been able to find on the hardware of the system itself.

So, does the z80 compare better, worse, or equal to whatever the fuck the GBP has?

Thanks!
