Okay, nooby question here.
I'm confuzzled.
The answers are all around the forum, but I'm still going to ask here because I need it summarized.
What do I need to play a live show?
I'm planning to buy a modded GB and I figured I might as well buy a MIDI mod if it's necessary for shows.
I would be running 1 GB with LSDJ, no Fruity loops or Ableton. So I'd need a link cable for syncing with other GBs.
Is a MIDI mod really necessary? Do I need other stuff too? Jack outputs?
Thanks
midi mod is not essential at all. i mean, basically you just need a gameboy, cart, cables and either a cheap mixer or a DI box. BAM showtime
Dont forget songs. Write some songs.
Good advice! Some people just don't take it seriously.

Boom. Cheap ass 4 channel Alesis mixer. Recommend.
Edit: It's good for a 1x lsdj gameboy and a 2xlsdj setup and a laptop. 4 ins, endless possibility.

that looks decent.. doubles as a guitar DI, too.. does seem to be out of stock at the only stores listed in that google link though

Details, details.

Pro sound modded?
Custom LSDJ graphics patches and custom LSDJ WAV kits.

If you want a custom LSDJ graphics patch made just for you I might just be able to help you out.
(I don't have a download link for the LSDJ kits but if you want some I can send you a bunch of them attached to an email or something.)
I can also hook you up with some other awesome GB ROMs that you can use to make sound/music and some NES ROMs for live visuals.
^ neither custom graphics nor custom kits are something you need to play gigs
I totally love the crude basics, so I'm glad you're not obliging me to buy a dozen mods. Thanks!
The pro sound jack does seem rather handy though, and so do the the RCAs

Screw that

Thought so, that's some strange viral marketing right there

I would like to add, make sure the songs are good, make sure you have at least one back up gameboy and cart and PRACTICE before you play.
personally, i find the prosound mod to not make much difference in live settings if you're going to run through a mixer anyway... handy for recording though if you aren't used to software noise reduction... backlight can be handy. but you can also use snap-on Nuby lights, a small desk lamp or just use a gba sp live...
