Since they make an effort naming the hardware as something noteworthy that "improves" the original design I sure as heck hope it's NOT just emulation. But then again... hardware is hard lol

How is this supposed to be
customized for chiptune musicians
if there is no link port? 
also, wonder if it's supposed to be fpga based.
EDIT:
oh, Gizmodo...
Why the improvements to the Game Boy’s sound system when all of its classic games only generate mono sound?
I'm gonna get so fucking mad.

A friend visited them at CES. It's supposedly a direct copy of the hardware and apparently has some sort of built-in preamp as well. No emulation!

"In fact, Hyperkin says it's working with the team behind Little Sound DJ to make sure every Ultra Game Boy comes with chiptune music composition software built-in"

Interesting! I hope it will sound accurate.
A shame making it in aluminium and not plastic IMO. I get that a lot of people have an aluminium fetish, but a handheld console makes a lot more sense in a plastic casing.

Rumor mill! I saw a piece stating it has the link port.
What if it sounds like gb pocket?!

I am 90% sure the unit they had at ces was simply a regular backlit pocket they put in a new shell.
We asked Johan on the fb lsdj group and he confirmed that he's talking with them but said he's not really interested in licensing lsdj to them for inclusion.

in what sense? aluminum has been used for everything from business card cases to briefcases to cameras. no reason a game console NEEDS to be plastic, and aluminum has the bonus of helping dissipate heat
