At first I thought that they would not be able to sync because nl2.x is a gba game and lsdj is an old game, but that was not the case.
Also I found that using a DMG/CGB cable you can sync 3 gameboys at once!

The yellow cgb is running lsdj and is the master, it is set to 'nano' sync. The blue sp is running nanoloop 2.3 demo, and the DMG is running lsdj, set to midi sync, but I think setting it to slave works too.

To make nl2 receive sync messages you select the 2 triangles that look like a fast forward symbol and press a+b. If you stop the master, nanoloop will sort of pause where it was up to in the sequence. To set it back to the first step again and make it wait, just select the 2 triangles thing again and press start, then a+b again.

Kitsh's cable should work too: http://kitsch.bigcartel.com/product/dmc … link-cable

Also if you are curious, I did a little video syncing NL2.3 to a bunch of things, 1.5/LSDJ/Nanovoice.

I thought using the cable in this manner was really dangerous? Maybe its because nloop sync is just pulses.. and not actual data?

Hmmmm, I'm looking to buy NL 2.3 in order to do just this. But is there any noticible lag between the two systems? I think I saw it mentioned somewhere that this could happen.

I didn't notice any lag when I was doing it, but for some reason my GBA was giving weird sounds, almost as if I was hearing the clock signals.
