Yo littleFM will allow you to hold multiple LSDJ banks with a drag 'n' derp. So far, derps seem to be more reliable than certain eras of bleepbloops, so I would take bitjacker's advice with a li'l grain of salt.

(there's also an 0.5.1 but all it adds is experimental EMS support:

I have one of the warped Bloops and it works perfectly in an official shell.

My plan is: take an EMS for the small stuff, and a Derp for LSDJ, but I have to decide if I want to have LSDJ at all... it had been sitting in my drawer for 2 years when I still had it, it somehow never grew on me...

Ok the Cart thing has been solved. I have ordered the EMS one for now, and will consider a Derp when I have made my mind up about LSDJ.
Now I only need one more thing (well probably a bunch of those): a backlight for the DMG!

First of all, anybody knows a good place to buy such things in Europe? Otherwise I'm considering Kitsch-bent.

and second: I'm a bit clueless about which one to pick. I don't need multiple colours, just white would be fine for me, but I'd like something that isn't too aggressive on the eyes... so any experience you can share with me?

I'm ok with doing DIY (I've soldered/drilled/glued/dremeled enough stuff in the last years I can face any type of project now I think) I'm also thinking about adding an LTC-based pitch control to one of the DMGs, since I have a board lying around.

http://www.gameboymods.co.uk have a smaller range than kitsch, but is based in the UK and covers your basic gameboy modding needs.

I personally find orange to be the nicest backlight colour - soft, and gives that classic Nokia vibe

thanks a lot for the link! Yeah orange could be nice... and I agree the Nokia vibe has a certain charme smile

Finally got my EMS cart for the Game Boy! I've seen that there is quite a number of applications I can use with the Gameboy, I think I'll try them all sooner or later, but still... any suggestions on the things to try out first?

Also I've noticed that some ROMs won't work, any tips on what I should do or not do regarding this?

the ems carts that required windows were the old 32MB blue ones that only had a parallel port based flasher, for future reference.. though i know nitro was working on a usb cart flasher that could do pretty much every type of GB flash cart so if thats already out, its not the case anymore .. btw, since most of the other music roms youd be using ( electric drum, mGB, shitwave) don't need sav data, you can easily use the 64MB usb ems cart for lsdj (on the first "page") and all the others on the same cart (2nd "page" for everything else) as long as you're not planning to use them at the same time...
