I would definitely be interested in one when I'm not completely broke.

haha thats what i am afraid of! well i am going to aim the ebay listing to end on a pay day or something lol

I would totally buy a MIDI DMG. I wouldn't care about the heart, or the Pocket screen, I'd just want MIDI.

my plan is to take a yellow DMG, fit it with pro sound and a yellow backlight, maybe bi inverted for high contrast and then fit midi as i have the go ahead from Trash80, instead of the heart it would just have a row of LEDs along the bottom to indicate mode. all the bits are in the post and on there way here so this is going to happen just as soon as it all arrives.

i would then post build pics here to people can see what its like, and then list it on ebay for what it cost me to build, then i will know what people are willing to pay for these things.

I would totally buy gameboys from you. This is awesome.

cool thats good to hear because i have a gameboy on the way which i will mod and throw up on ebay to see just how many people are interested

The most awesome part of this project. Is it just me, or does the pocket have a clearer screen?
Can you just switch them out, or is there some sort of modification involved?
I gotta find a pocket to kill. >:)

awesome thanks for the kind words!

i am feeling very inspired now, and that is a very good idea about limiting the order, i think i will do that to start off and see how much i can cope

the best system is probably making then selling.
so there's no backlog. but you can also take custom
orders. just dont let them pay until your read to actually
build the device.

as far a mods go...
i want a 9v battery mod like gijs gieskes.
pitch dial, underclock, bi-verted backlight,
and the prosound all in one.

thats a good idea, i might make some basic mods with the option to upgrade or something. i have already made a stack of backlit LCD boards to save me time.

that mod list you discribed sounds easy enough, except the 9v thing isn't such a good idea, to make 9v work you have to step it back down to 5 which defeats the point of having 9. also 9 volts has more volts but less current, because the current is divided by the 6 cells instead of the 4 AA cells, so it would actually wouldn't last as long. a good powerful Lithium Ion battery from a radio controlled car at 6 volts would be best, and all it would take is a diode to make it charge of the original power socket.

yeah, tbh id buy one like the one pictured (no heart though, maybe a skull instead & in red...and red buttons instead)..looks sweet, and also excessive at the same time, so its up my alley

ha that sounds cool!

well i should post up my blackboy, no skulls but nice red buttons that go well with the red text and a red backlight, nothing really special tho, its got a pitch bend kit, pro sound, button breakout socket.

thing is, this one i have done was kinda easy, the hard parts are the heart and the pocket screen, so if people are happy with just normal lights, and a normal screen then making something like this wouldn't be too hard at all... note to self, buy a new dremal!
