			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>Timbob says:</i></b><p>Ha, I just made an internal PS/2 port yesterday, after seeing your old post <img src="https://chipmusic.org/forums/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p><p>It does work, but I still have some troubles with switching instruments and playing notes.<br />But it&#039;s still fun!</p><p>and it&#039;s easier to figure out the notes for a melody, because you can easily play it, without having to track it first..</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>stargazer says:</i></b><p>I am writing this to hopefully alleviate some of the frustration I had for other people. It all revolves around this one simple diagram I made:<br /><a class="postimg" href="http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/8356/dmgps2portdiagram.png" title="PS/2 Wiring diagram" id="forum_image_94192584"><img src="http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/8356/dmgps2portdiagram.png" /></a></p><p>I tried to make it as simple as possible. The pins on the gameboy are show as if you have just taken the front half of it off and it&#039;s laying in the position you would hold it in to play.</p><p>For the wire, you&#039;re on your own. Ribbon cable from an IDE cable is nice and flat and can easily be seperated into a strand with 4, but the it has multiple strands of wire so it can get a little messy. Also, you can strip this easily using your front teeth (I know, it sounds crazy but it works and I learned it from Ben Heck so it MUST be the best way). Personally I ended up using some copper wire that was probably way too thick for the job but oh well.</p><p>For the PS/2 ports, buy them online. Many people will tell you to get them off eBay, but those are drop shippers that ship from China and it takes almost a month (sometimes longer) for them to arrive. I went to pricewatch.com and got these:<br /><a href="http://www.sfcable.com/30D5-2B.html" target="_blank">http://www.sfcable.com/30D5-2B.html</a><br />I ordered two of them, just in case I messed up or wanted to do one on one of my other DMG&#039;s and with shipping it came out to about $5.00. I realized after that they had these:<br /><a href="http://www.sfcable.com/10M2-A3.html" target="_blank">http://www.sfcable.com/10M2-A3.html</a><br />So get one of those. It should be about the same amount.<br />You can try to buy some locally, but I went around to pretty much every store within 20 miles of my house and all I found were radioshack and Best Buy. They both wanted 20+ dollars for theirs, so I said screw that. I tried to get Best Buy to price match theirs because all it was was a generic one put in a dynex box. They wouldn&#039;t. You should never buy anything from Best Buy. The most help I got was a guy at Target that told me about pricewatch. Who knew!</p><p>To remove the plastic casing on the cables, just use your ingenuity. I used a combo of a utility knife (cut away from you!) and some pliers. It&#039;s not that hard.</p><p>To make the hole in the DMG, I used a dremel. A drill would probably work too, but you have more freedom to shape the hole as you want with a dremel. If you&#039;re going to be doing anything like this somewhat frequently they&#039;re a great investment.</p><p>As for the placement, like I said in the picture that is the easiest place. Just move the voltage regulator to the other side. I know that is a favorite place to put a pro sound mod, but I think that a 1/8 inch jack would be smaller and easier to figure out somewhere else to put it. I secured my jack in with some hot glue when I had it just right.</p><p>Now on to setting up the LSDJ file. Set it up to look like this:<br /><a class="postimg" href="http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/3944/capturevgq.png" title="http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/3944/capturevgq.png" id="forum_image_87707562"><img src="http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/3944/capturevgq.png" /></a><br />Note that the tempo is cranked all the way up and that sync is set to keyboard.</p><p><a class="postimg" href="http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1284/capturechh.png" title="http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1284/capturechh.png" id="forum_image_76651564"><img src="http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1284/capturechh.png" /></a><br />Just hit A.</p><p><a class="postimg" href="http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/4683/captureor.png" title="http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/4683/captureor.png" id="forum_image_86430371"><img src="http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/4683/captureor.png" /></a><br />Hit A again.</p><p><a class="postimg" href="http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/4502/captureua.png" title="http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/4502/captureua.png" id="forum_image_98058571"><img src="http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/4502/captureua.png" /></a><br />Make sure you have all of the notes with an instrument. Don&#039;t actually put any notes in though.</p><p>Now go back to the song screen, hit start and you&#039;re ready to go!</p><p>For reference, here is an updated keyboard layout map from xero:<br /><a class="postimg" href="http://the.fontvir.us/b10g/img/lsdj.keyboard-15.jpg" title="http://the.fontvir.us/b10g/img/lsdj.keyboard-15.jpg" id="forum_image_55909171"><img src="http://the.fontvir.us/b10g/img/lsdj.keyboard-15.jpg" /></a></p><p>Also, here are the other commands from the manual:<br /></p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>Song And Live Mode</p><p>play using custom table</p><p>SPACE</p><p>F 1/ F 2</p><p>octave down/up</p><p>F 3/ F 4</p><p>instrument down/up</p><p>F 5/ F 6</p><p>select custom table to assign to SPACE</p><p>change pulse instrument playback channels (PU1, PU2, PU1+2)</p><p>F8</p><p>F 9- F 12</p><p>toggle channel mute (switches on key press)</p><p>CTRL +( F 9- F 12)</p><p>tap channel mute (switches on key press and release)</p></blockquote></div><p>I hope that someone will find this tutorial useful. If there are any questions ask away and I will do my best to answer them.</p><p>Special thanks to JustinThursday for putting up with my incredibly stupid emails, Rolf for the extremely helpful diagrams, and Nex and BetaSynapse for other tips.</p>]]></description>
