Absolutely no need to apologize. I just wasn't sure if the D.I.Y. Arduinoboy/modded DMG was being wonky or if it was due to it being a quick hack. Regardless, keep up the amazing work.

Yeah, like I said, quick hack. I probably only made it print the channel names on start-up and not in when returning from screen off. Again, sorry.

I noticed that the channel numbers disappear when coming back from the select+A command on the hacked version fwiw. Does this happen for anyone else?

Yes, the nitro hacked version accepts the other channels, but each proceeding five channels must be on separate cartridges.

Yes, I made versions that listened to channels 1-5 (as usual), 6-10 and 11-15. But this was just a quick hack. As I later figured out, these versions of mGB didn't work as expected. Sending MIDI to channels that outside of the individual ROM's channel range would still crash the program, so it was useless for connecting 'boys in parallel anyway. That's why they're not available for download any more. Sorry.
Maybe one day I will actually get to finishing my own MIDI ROM, which will not have this problem.

I don't know why it wouldn't work for you...I had no problem making this video, but I no longer can find out what ArduinoBoy version it was programmed with...

For the sleep deprived and illiterate: After some sleep (just enough) I noticed there was a Max script via the Arduinoboy Google code page which allowed me to change the corresponding MIDI channels. Oddly enough, the Nitro-hacked carts were not producing sound, nor were they responding to MIDI CC's. The official MGB ROM now works on whatever channels I want them to thanks to MAX. Thanks again for the help ESC. I really appreciate it.

tl;dr - RTFM

So this wasn't as easy as I thought it might be. I see the new versions are displaying the channel numbers on the top of the screen, so all is well there, but I cannot trigger anything because the Arduinoboy is still only accepting MIDI data on channels 1-5. Certainly there's something I overlooked? I don't remember a MIDI channel switch mode on the Arduinoboy itself and a quick search again proves fruitless.

Is there a reason channel selection isn't in MGB as standard?
