Glitch Switch? / Case LEDs (Page 1) - Circuit Bending - Forums

Is there a way that you could make a "glitch" switch on a DMG? So that if you switch it, it'll make the sound chip go crazy and do all kinds of random, odd things, but when you turn it off it goes right back to normal?

Also, where could you solder LEDs to the PCB so that they light up? Would they attach to somewhere near the batter terminals? Or does it matter at all? Can you solder it to any connection on the board to get electricity going through it?

Sorry about these noobly questions, I'm just not finding much help from google!

Learn how the gameboy PCBs work? Haha, where would I go to do that? I can't find any kind of diagram like a picture of the board with things pointing to different parts and saying what they do...does that exist?

That's beautiful...If only it didn't need a whole other board off the side of it!

yeah well, the gameboy is quite a complex piece of technology.. It's not like they build a standard glitch option in it that you just have to connect...
