thats why contrast increases. Because more white accualy is dolan (more dark).

Yup, the screen's inverted, although the screen was dimming before i added the resistor so there was definetely a reversal in performance somewhere.

This may be unrelated, but the backlight color is orange. I was messing around with leds and an arduino, using them as diodes and indicators of sound output in a project i'm working on, and i noticed that red leds have MUCH less resistance than the yellow and blue ones I had. Blue in particular really reduced the volume of the output, while red didn't reduce volume at all.

this may be why my backlight was so demanding, even though it came pre installed with a resistor.

Not just that, but all the games that weren't working before are now WORKING PERFECTLY! I didn't even have to blow on the cartridges or anything! 220R added to a backlight, and what a difference!

is the screen inverted?

Back! Everything's working fine now, and when I play music on LSDJ, the brightness/contrast goes UP instead of DOWN for some reason. A bonus, I guess. That little resistor did the trick!

kiss me

FACE!!!

Im just flirting

Are you guys Fighting?

Run a bunch of what? You keep saying things like "bunch" and "fully-modded" but these phrases mean nothing at all. There is no threshold of LEDs or knobs that once achieved warrants something as "fully-" anything, pal.

Yeah, I have seen it. There are only two things drawing power that weren't in the original regulator calculations! The only thing the damn thing has that is special is the size. 6 LEDs, an LTC and a Atmel328. None of the other mods draw any power; not the dual pro sound, not the expanded cart slot and he never did share a video of the powering a keyboard while the LTC ran and the arduinoBoy was powered up.

Besides, he used a clear gameboy which indefinitely had the newest power regulator board with the largest capacitors and lowest bleeder voltage. Combined with proper resistance values on the LEDs and power connections to the LTC and Atmel which are designed to draw a static value of power, NeX has nothing to worry about.

Your basically saying that I can build a computer with quad SLI GPU's and pop in a 150W PSU and run with it.

If SuperQuinn has a gameboy with dried up caps, failing resistors and continues to add more load on the regulator, then yes the software will be affected.

you can run a bunch before power draw issues arise even off of standard dmg reg board. You ever seen Nex's megatron?

Power draw can most certainly crash the software of any system. How can you begin to claim otherwise?

Heating up the iron as I type. Thanks!

Will update with outcome in a bit!

power draw etc should not really crash the software. I ran a thrash city save on a cart in a dmg and it didnt crash a fully modded dmg. It was however bogged down quite a bit. I was testing differences between performance of sgb vs dmg cpu

Try adding the 220 to one of the wires. It will be a little more dim, but this is my suspicion as to the crashing.

In this case, I doubt it was the software. It was most certainly the cartridge. What cart was LSDj playing from?
