A 1/8" to 1/4" adapter is like $3 at radio shack, and it makes hooking the gameboy up to amps and what not really simple. Cheap and easy. Pro-sound if your not satisfied with the stock output in your situation.

AFAIC, if you plan on plugging your gameboy directly into a PC for recording purposes, you'd be better off with a 1/8", as a 1/4" instrument cable may be too heavy for the PC, and cause damage to your PC's microphone or line-in jack.

I don't think either is better over the other.

just depends on the situation and what the rest of your equipment is compatible with.
wouldn't be too hard to put a 1/4" jack in a gameboy or acquire one with that in it.....

Dude seriously....

Ok so I already have an audio interface but it only takes 1/4" cables but if 1/8" is better I could find an adapter. What do you guys think?

It might be worth giving the sticky a read.

He mentioned lsdj and lsdj is what I know.
If you have anything to mention, then do it.

Game Boys are convenient, and LSDJ is my program of choice, so I hope I don't come across as harsh when I say: effing hell, there are a bajillion more platforms and programs than what's on the Game Boy, and any beginner should be told that at the very least...

No offense y'all....

Whoa really? Wow I thought I was alone here.
I (personally) prefer 1/8th. I can use stereo cables, which are easier to find and cheaper and it's easy to just use an adapter to make it 1/4th.

My setup (minus a new dmg): http://www.chipmusic.org/forums/post/101007/#p101007

Dude you rock thanks for helping me out with everything this community seems to be really well established. Also I will be buying your EP when it is released. Also what do you think would be better 1/4" cables or  1/8" cables. Also what setup do you use.

P.S. I am also from Sacramento

You can order through pm here or you can go to their websites or some (like asm) post on ebay

You can prosound a dmg (or buy one) either. Simple terms, headphone or instrument. I actually have a dmg that has both. Or you can do RCA. For live you can be really simple and just do a gameboy. But it's best to use a mixer. A small behringer mixer works fine. Any of our fine modders, kitsch, maize, thursdaycustoms, loomis, asm, etc.

Edit: stupid autocorrect

I have a few more questions, if I have the pro-sound mod what type of cable do I need, is it the same size cable that plugs into a electric guitar, also what would I need for live shows, and also where would I acquire a pro-sound DMG.

P.S. Sorry for all the questions you guys are really helpful.

From gameboy to computer:
.sav files: you use a usb cable and a transfer program.
audio: you record from the headphone jack of a gameboy. (Prosounded would be a good idea)

Edit: yeah exactly what kitsch said. lul
