Capitol idea, chap!  Somebody sell these.

aren't you guys sponsored by nintendo?

Shit now im into the idea. WHAT SAY YOU DMG MODDERS. Assemlbe the ben heck based mod for a fee?

Sounds like a plan.

Just saw this thread. I charge $70 for a grey DMG with a backlight and pro-sound. I think that's a pretty fair price. Not over priced but high enough that I make money as it is my main source of income.

If this is too high I will consider lowering it will some persuasion.

^ fuckin' snarky! just so you know: your music is dead set amazing zan, so don't read too much into the first line

okay dude i know you hate anything that has more than three people doing it but this strikes me as a very silly thing to say. if you're the cool guy on stage playing the glockenspiel with a megadrive accompaniment nobody is going to think any less of you if the next guy comes up playing a mario remix off of a fluorescent pink brick. you're probably not even going to be playing the same show.

i mean in fairness i've been around since pretty much last thursday, so... blissful ignorance?

Or at least have more portable nes that run on battery mods

I've been really meaning to get into making some NES and c64 stuff. I think the main reason I've been more oriented towards gameboy though is the ability to write music during the commute to and from work.

please let's move away from the gameboy
the NES and the Amiga are both more worthwhile synths, as are the badly under-represented c64, Atari ST, Megadrive and what have you
in addition i think the "holding a gameboy on stage" element introduces a great deal of skeptics and holds us all back

i only charge 50 for a basic greyboy with backlight and prosound
and 70 for a playitloud
but yeah its pretty damm overpriced

crap, didn't mean to bump this. posted in wrong thread.

Soldering might be esoteric to some, but since my father is an avid and experienced, i kinda grew up seeing iron solders and things getting soldered.

I did my own backlight with only kitsch's tutorial and doing magic. The only thing I did wrong was fucking it up mildly the lcd screen (is still perfectly clear to use it, minor scratches here and there.

But since some prosound mods requires cutting the plastic, which is not that simple neither that hard, it might back off people who wants your Gameboy modded.

So as being repetitive, if you know you can do it, then do it and don't pay for the service and convenience.

I'll agree with that!
