Funny that now I'm using this thread as a reference.

A standard battery?  Just any smaller 3v battery?

Desolder the battery holder and resolder a standard battery. Cut the USB hole. Done.

mine some rare gold and molt your cart and and molt it into your perfect size cart and then put some duck tape on it, try that.

Whoa. I got the weirdest boner right now.

What's wrong with that sleek translucent black look? I think it looks pretty sexy.

I have two carts of an even newer revision (GB64USB-11, as marked on the top-right corner of the PCB), which only has surface-mount parts. I bought them around February / April this year.

Ignore the torn out parts (D3 and R6); I had to tear those out because they became loose and caused problems.

WAIT A MINUTE. This is different from this:

So what's the deal? Is Nitro's a newer revison? From what I can tell modding his cart would require only moving the single cap.

Note: The red squares don't mean anything to me.

Ah. But that's something else then.
Most people are to lazy for the search indeed.

But then attack someone on that. Keep it clear

My problem isn't that he want's to mod his stuff, but that all this info is completely available if you use the search function. I mean, I knew the answer and I've never started a new thread commanding people to help me.

Nah, it's because that case is modeled after a gameboy color cart. they have a bulge at the top so you have more room to put in caps or batteries or whatnot. The older DMG games have a dent at the top. so you have less space.

The problem with color games is that they won't fit in a DMG without making an incision where the power slider slides in. Not a lot of extra work if you already have to cut a hole for the usb port.. the one at kitsch already has a gap for the power slider made in.

(old game on the left, color game in the middle. dent vs bulge. Also note the lack of the corner, top right. GBA game on the right, where you probably need a hamer to get the cart to fit)

I swapped my EMS into one of these http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/cl … cuit-cases

Made some space on the top and bottom with a dremel but not enough as there are some cracks appearing here and there. I didn't have to move any capacitors, I think that's just the older versions of the same cart that you needed to move them?

cool.
I'll make a new thread tomorrow, which will include the colour guide i've got so far, and a small tutorial on how to install an EMS cart in a cart of your choice.

I think you should post it, so we can refer new users and questions to it.
edit: this may be called cm.o but we're not just about music. Actually it seems we get just as much modders and programmers. Which isn't a bad thing.

yeah, smartboy. couldn't remember the name.

Anyway, the pink carts only came bundled with a pink pocket gameboy, in japan. all the other tamagotchi carts are white. I've got one pink cart that was used for a power rangers game. Bandai seems to have used them every once in a while, but there was never a big run like the pokemon carts. so yeah, the pink versions are rare.

the white tamagotchi carts are easier to get by. I got one for like 5 bucks or so.

And also I don't see the problem with people being so negative about people wanting to mod their gear. Some people enjoy the modding part of this subculture, some people are more into the musical part. that's all fine. But why go all "You can't paint your gameboy if you can't make any good tunes!"
makes no sense at all. If someone really enjoys the artsy craftsy work. good for him.

The green cart was one of those 150 in one games. so not an official nintendo cart. But other than that, exactly the same size. Nintendo never did a green cartridge (the old style anyway) but there where a few pirated games like these that came in a green cart.

I once made a quite complete (almost) guide about carts and their colours (because i felt like it) but it was on that other site...

I do have a copy of it. but this is more of a chip music site, so I don't know if people will enjoy it as much (seeing all the shit you get here if you ask a question about modding.)
