Thank you.
There's an Arduino in there which is controlling the reset, fading backlight and overclock.
What's happening in detail is:
1) Reset
2) Boot - which is running at max clockrate (hence the high 'ping' in the beginning of the cycle)
3) Clockrate goes to lowest speed
4) Clockrate speeds up, together with the light fading in
5) Clockrate speeds up to the point of crashing
The Shitwave ROM is running from an EMS 64 USB cart.
Shitwave is what's generating the glitchy visuals. The screen flicker and tone change are bi-products of the overclocking though.
If you want to get really technical I suggest you ask NeX.
I'm sadly not good at building technical things like that.
I do know that the arduino is controlling the pitch bend and light using a photoresistor and an LED inside the case. Nifty!
