@Kris k
Would I get any signal loss from the original headphone port if I have a secondary 1/8'' pro-sound jack installed?

nope, should be ok.

this has to be some kind of a typo

i have an rca gameboy and a 1/8th inch gameboy and the rca cables have pulled out so many more times than the 1/8th inch cable. just speaking from my personal experience.

Well my idea was to simply add a second 1/8th jack wired to the pro-sound and leave the original heaphone out for just that.

that's actually what i do with some of mine. not a bad plan, and it doesn't look as obtrusive as the RCA jacks do.

If that's the case, wouldn't that make a 1/8'' pro-sound mod pointless?

to be honest, i would just use the standard headphone jack on the game boy - prosounding makes it harder to use headphones in a loud environment. You could have a second 1/8" jack for prosounded out in addition to the RCA and the standard jack, that might work well.
