I'm not up and running with LSDJ and an original GameBoy and am having a blast! One problem I ran into, however, is that the wave channel sounds basically like ass. There's grungy off-pitch feedback when I use the synth feature or drums. The TR-707 drums really make it go crazy. Kitch-Bent mentioned that it could be due to a flaky CPU as some of the CPU models had flaky WAVE out? This GameBoy has an "A" revision CPU so sounds like I'm SOL there smile

But I was wondering if there is a correlation between the PCB revisions and CPU revisions as well as which CPU/PCBs work the best for music makins? I mention PCB since Kitch also mentioned it is easy, for say, an eBay seller, to look at the PCB revision by just taking the battery cover off.

Any advice there?

You can see your mobo revision if you look through the hole in the battery slot. Dmg-02 is the bad guy.

I've used 04,05, and 06 models and they are fine. Heard elsewhere 02s are the crap ones too

Just post here looking for a back pcb for the DMG. I believe the fronts are interchangeable between CPU versions

Oh hadn't though of that and I see there's a trading post forum. I'll do that, thanks for the tip!

Totally interchangeable. And 003s are bad too.

That's crazy - I guess wave out wasn't used much in games?
