And if you do set up a shop, set a limit of 5 orders or something, so you don't get bombarded all at once!

I never wanted a Gameboy up to this day.
That is a seriously sexy beast NeX.
Would pay monies for that.

ha that sounds cool!
well i should post up my blackboy, no skulls but nice red buttons that go well with the red text and a red backlight, nothing really special tho, its got a pitch bend kit, pro sound, button breakout socket.
thing is, this one i have done was kinda easy, the hard parts are the heart and the pocket screen, so if people are happy with just normal lights, and a normal screen then making something like this wouldn't be too hard at all... note to self, buy a new dremal!

the best system is probably making then selling.
so there's no backlog. but you can also take custom
orders. just dont let them pay until your read to actually
build the device.
as far a mods go...
i want a 9v battery mod like gijs gieskes.
pitch dial, underclock, bi-verted backlight,
and the prosound all in one.

thats a good idea, i might make some basic mods with the option to upgrade or something. i have already made a stack of backlit LCD boards to save me time.
that mod list you discribed sounds easy enough, except the 9v thing isn't such a good idea, to make 9v work you have to step it back down to 5 which defeats the point of having 9. also 9 volts has more volts but less current, because the current is divided by the 6 cells instead of the 4 AA cells, so it would actually wouldn't last as long. a good powerful Lithium Ion battery from a radio controlled car at 6 volts would be best, and all it would take is a diode to make it charge of the original power socket.

The most awesome part of this project. Is it just me, or does the pocket have a clearer screen?
Can you just switch them out, or is there some sort of modification involved?
I gotta find a pocket to kill. >:)

I would totally buy a MIDI DMG. I wouldn't care about the heart, or the Pocket screen, I'd just want MIDI.
