I meant pins 50-57 on the DMG. I believe it would be the same on the SGB - as far as I'm aware, the internals of an SGB are the same as a DMG, just without buttons or screen. I could be wrong there though, I've never taken an SGB apart.
In that version, I don't think the pins have been cut on the DMG at all, as the screen is outputting the same as the TV.
Sorry, I guess my post was a little ambiguous.
I'm assuming that pins 50-57 are lifted off of the SGB, and that is how the video is going into the SGB. Because the SGB is trying to get the black bar screen from the SGB hardware, but instead gets video input from the GB.
So I would like to put a switch in the SGB that essentially switches between GB input and regular SGB input. This switch would be inside the SGB and would be connected to those 7 pins. However, I'm not aware of a switch that can handle 14 connections. So any advice on how to do this would be awesome.
Also, it is odd that the SGB retains color pallets. I'm thinking he might have some more pins hooked up, unless he just gets stuck with the one pallet, and each game doesn't have it's default pallet. I can't really tell.

I thought that was how it worked, but I had no idea what pins it was, would it also be pins 50-57 on the DMG? I am planning on having a switch that connects the pins back to the board, but I'm not sure how I would do that with so many pins. This really doesn't look all that complicated, I can definitely pull this off. Any further advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your help so far Category.

I saw this project Nex made where he puts a super game boy(I think) inside of a VHS tape. The result is a very cool/odd capture card. Does anyone know of a guide for this? I am interested in making one of these for sure. Any help would be awesome, thanks.
