Forget about gameboys.
If you really enjoy gamepad controls (they do make it very comfortable to write music for long periods of time) buy a PSP 3000, install halfbyte loader, install LittleGameParkTracker...Use the monowave sample.
Don't use trackers that dont have accurate BPM...save yourself the headache later on when you sample your chip style sound design into a DAW. LittleGameParkTracker still has all the tables and stuff you need to get that sound (but it also has accurate BPM).
LSDJ is really good for "pure chip" people and electrician hobbyists who like modifying gameboys and building midi boxes. By pure chip I mean you only use gameboys soundchip/c64 sid chip/Soundblaster's opl3...real soundchips... and nothing else...As for the midi sync option, can you really be bothered to solder all that shit together, only to have it break later on? As for USB gameboy carts, they are a phucking headache for a while, then they break.
Get an android phone/tablet, use sunvox.
Install renoise...use renoise plugin capture with whatever chip VST.
Thats just my opinion...knave
