I did this one too for the first time. used a hotairgun to desolder the chip from the SGB pcb, took about 5 minutes with max airflow and 220 degree celcius 1cm away from the board in circles. on the dmg board i just cut off the pins from the old cpu and cleaned the solderpoints.ich attached the sgb cpu on the dmg board, looked that every pin sits right and applied solder to all pins and joined all, then get over them with desoldering braid and after there is only a bit of solder left on the pins, go from in to out with the solderiron on each pin. look that there are now bridges between the pins, clean afterwards with isopropanol, check, done !
Took me about 1 hour on my first time.

Hi,

I tried also to do the same transplant.. works fine, i like this mod.
If you have a rework station, it's quite easy..   if you use flux, a quick warning, don't take conductive flux .. or clean it when finished soldering.

I did take a few pictures during the process, so i created a tutorial .. (not really needed) . but you can take a look here.

Special thanks to NeX.

I'm with Arfink on this. And do yoself a favour and get proper gear like Velleman which is VERY high quality. With good care it will continue to work till you get old and die.

Thanks for the nice reply's.

Yes.

haha, that is kinda rad though. no more fumbling with the mixer, or forgetting to.

Sick soldering job! @Theta- if you want to get into hobby electronics one of those is a good tool to have. But get a good fine-tip adjustable soldering iron first, it's more useful. And with some care and a little solder wick you can do this without one.

I will be trying this soon.  I almost want to get a hot air rework station!   I'll build log it on my soon to be made blog or something.

Awesome work, Glitch Militia.

Hey, so, the entire sound engine is contained in the CPU, right? So if you replace the CPU on an 02 or 03 board, won't it fix sample playback also?

Is that a compliment ?

Could someone elaborate what the 2 x 64 K S-RAM in the DMG-01 is used for ? The bootstrap or ?

This is the only other time I've seen this done after NeX's successful attempts.
Good on ya!

That is a MEAN solder job!

Ah yes it is. But I think I disliked the DIY flash GB carts I made more. Anyways pictures are up of both internal diy gb carts and the SGB transplant.

herr_prof said it. No waiting for boot and no nasty nintendo "PLINGGGG!!!!"

It also skips the boot sound:D

wait what?  so this does not handle  higher bpms  better than  factory DMG? What exactly does it do besides load up faster? I'm  being  crucial  because I've been trying to find a way to have DMG sound, but with  the processing  speed of say= a gameboy color.

PITA = pain in the ass
