Are you pretty set on ditching gameboy all together? You could always get a usb cart to back-up your files with. Seems like a cheaper alternative.

Get a USB NES controller and compose on an emulator?

Just write music with a band and use a bit crusher.

Also I've been using the same two carts since 2008 and have no problems.

Well, there's quite a gap going from synthesis-based composition to sample-based composition... not as easy as it seems.

Wait hold on. Your cart battery died and so you're ditching the console? Just back up your music next time. Calm down and keep working with what you have!

I'd say reliability in data storage is a very important concern.

I never said I was going to ditch my DMG, I was just looking for the best alternative so that way I don't loose so much music, last night I lost a song that I was fairly confident was my best song and was supposed to be the ending track on my EP, I have decided LSDJ on the DS will be my next move.
I will DEFINITLY still be using my DMG I just need to find a more reliable cart I guess.
Where can we buy those drag and drop carts?

I think the EMS cart batteries are just hit or miss. I think once you replace the battery it should last damn near forever after that. I could be wrong about the battery lasting a long time but I feel quite certain I've read this somewhere.

Agreed, but I just always hear about people losing all their data because of battery failures. I use EMS carts exclusively, and have NEVER lost data. I wouldn't leave anything important on my computer without a backup, and the same goes for my LSDJ songs. Data storage reliability is, in part, a human function.

I just back up my carts regularly, I've been going for a couple years and the batteries are still doing fine, but if you're super worried then just take up the tradition of replacing the batteries every 1 or 2 years.
