Hey everyone,
I've been interested in chip music for a while now, and have been wondering which game boy is the best to use. I am looking for the best sound. I also intend to do several modifications myself(pro sound, backlight, paint, etc.). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Get a DMG or an SP, those are generally the nicest to work with and have the best sound quality. Don't worry about modding your gameboy for now, just worry about writing music.

Listen to this and pick your favorite. DMG's are good and pockets aren't too bad. SP are nice but having to use a headphone adapter sucks.

Just find one that turns on and use it. Worry about the details later.

please note that sound quality differs from unit to unit. Also, some very used gameboys tend to have more leaked capacitors, which affects the quality of the sound.

This, just keep in mind that GBPockets corrupt saves on certain kinds of carts, supposedly.
In addition, I would invest in a good pair of headphones.

This is BS. I use a GBP, prefer it for the better screen, and have never had issues with cart crashes. Of course, I am not prone to run my GB until the batteries are completely and totally dead, which will corrupt saves on any GB.

Nah. The EMS carts do have big problems with pockets. Bleepbloops and Smartboys works fine though.

(EMS Cart x 3 years usage) + Game Boy pocket = Undefinable corruption
