STJ is so rad! My only wish is that there could be more similar programs on other consoles. If I had this on the Genesis I would die.

CrazyQ and 505 are also very nice with it.

It works very close to real decks, heres a mix I did combining the two:

If you need a gimmick, use the real hardware. Boys like it a lot!

Mixing your own chip-things with turntablism sounds like a good idea to me. Crowdpleasing for sure, just give people some room to breathe aswell.

Afaik there are very few beep-jockeys. Joakim Cosmo, C64-demoscener and DJ since the 80's, uses Serato and sometimes does SID-only sets as Jucke (highly recommended). Trez & Brioche DJ'ed a lot of chip shows before 2006 or so.

There's plenty of mashups, of course. Some of them are here: http://is.gd/2cT36q

gwEm also created these devices which would aid integration in beatmatching with turntables:

LSDJ Pitch Control - Control pitch/tempo of LSDJ.
Ultra-Wicked DJ Device - control tempo of MIDI and sync 24 devices.

I remember seeing a dj perform with Minusbaby a few years back at Blip Festival- it fit really well, actually. I was wondering when someone was going to make that a major part of their act- I say go for it.

I dunno, for a crowd that's always been really really invested in the technology used to perform the music, DJs are really fickle about who uses what. I feel like if you're going to use gameboys in your DJ set you shouldn't even really be asking a DJ whether it's "right" or not. DJ tech heads are already so mired in analog vs digital vs turntable vs controller that the entrance of a gameboy would probably make them scoff their faces off. And any responses you have with regards to judging standards by crowd responses will have those people telling you you're a sellout and you don't know what "real" music is (despite the fact that DJs are pretty much SUPPOSED to give the crowd what sounds good).

Pretty much, dgaf DJ opinions, just go for it. If the crowd likes it, then that's a plus. Brostep heads have already gone apeshit over stuff like "zomg he got a square wave in my well-produced dubstep this shit is RAW" so you pulling out a gameboy on stage would probably blow heads open.
