It's been awhile since a real update here on chip music!
We have a ton of new stuff and most of the usual kits have been updated!

First the big news..
Frontlit Game Boy Colors are now back in stock!
These are incredibly popular so the inventory is low.
Get while the getting is good!
For all you musicians, don't forget to add an 1/8" prosound! We always use a noise canceling capacitor with these so you never get that annoying hum. Not even in the headphones!

But the kit I'm most excited about is the RGB Switches. This one piece kit has 3 on/off push buttons to control any RGB LED device such as the kitsch-bent backlights, RGBss(backlit start and select buttons) or the RGB Case LEDs kit. OR all at once! It easy mounts to the top of a DMG case with 2 included screws and spacers.
Check the options bar because you can add an RGB backlight for an additional $13. This is the original version of the KB RGB backlight and comes with a resistor breakout board rather than having to deal with individual resistors.

The other really big one is that the Variable Clock v4 has undergone a huge overhaul.
The kit can now be installed in two totally different ways giving you more options than ever before.
Spacers and screws(optional) have been added for a more secure install as well as the option to put your main pot wherever you can fit it!
Check it out right here:
http://thursdaycustoms.bigcartel.com/pr … e-clock-v4

Speaking of.. If you liked the super tiny pot and knob that comes with the Variable Clock v4.4 kit, you can now purchase them on their own!
Here is a size comparison to the pot that is typically used for variable clock mods:

And speaking of the original Variable Clock kits.. We've added a few more knob options:

Also for Variable Clock kits, backlights or anything else you want to be able to turn on/off, we finally have the much asked for mini rocker switches!

And last of the kits but most definitely not least, the Hex kits have been revised.
Nothing big here but they are a slightly better design and personally I think they look cooler!

I should also mention we only have 3 Variable Clock v2 kits left. THESE ARE GOING TO BE DISCONTINUED.
The Variable Clock v3 will be taking it's place with the option to get the micro pot separately(essentially making it a VCv2 without the micro pot).

For you bulk buyers you can now get 3 metal toggle switches for $5 instead of $2 each:

HOW TO ORDER A CUSTOM GAME BOY:

You can add a backlit DMG, MGB or CGB(frontlit) to your cart:
http://thursdaycustoms.bigcartel.com/pr … o-game-boy

Then you can add a "Custom mod" to your cart:
http://thursdaycustoms.bigcartel.com/ca … ustom-mods

Choose the option "Installed" on any kit and it will be installed in the Game Boy that you've added to your cart.
All you need to do is enter the backlight color and polarization(normal or inverted. DMG and MGB only) you would like in the comments box on PayPal when ordering.

If you would like more mods than this you will need to e-mail me at [email protected] and I will work up a quote for you!

What size resistor are u using on the new bivert chips because my chip isn't able to run with my arduinoboy I think because of to much power.

No resistor is needed. It's a .01uf capacitor between 5v and GND.

Then what do u think could be the problem on why my gameboy doesn't work with the chip installed.

Hey just wanted to say really nice stuff here! Keep it up. I think you'll fill the void with asm phasing out.

asm is phasing out?

Thanks a lot! We're always trying to expand and offer as many options as possible.

Just want to say that these new buttons are SUPER low-profile and I think they would look great with RCA jacks up alongside them. Got to play with them a bit at BRKfest, and I am strongly considering having them included in my order from Justin! (Recently got that pizza delivery job, should be getting money this month, SUPER excited.)

Thanks! I'm really happy with how they've turned out. I'm actually going to put them in one of my personal Game Boys and I usually just do backlight and 1/4" pro sound for mine since I beat them up at shows!

Do we have the option to choose if we want one of the new carts, Music Tech and DMG Test, in a DMG Cart case or a CGB Case?

I'm referring to the window being cut or uncut.

Unfortunately they wont fit in a standard case because the PROM is too thick.
