Looks good, I think the start/select buttons look a little out of place though. Maybe they should be bigger?

Thanks everyone! C:

I just use the noise reduction effect in audacity to take out those last bits. Works pretty well for me.

Thanks guys!

Currently I do pretty much the same thing as you do. Prosound straight into audacity, then remove any noise that's left and compress. Probably better ways than this, but I don't really know how to use any DAWs... lol

love this music!

I just try things until it sounds cool. Trial and error. But really I only use 3 or 4 commands on tables. W, O, P, H, and K mostly, and the transposing, so I might not be qualified to answer this tongue

Alright, I found a few strange numbers. All of these are from when the contrast wheel is turned all the way CW. (Or at least I tried to keep it that way)

Front:

I think the joint on the right is dead... I couldn't get a reading from it. Everything else was pretty normal.

Back:

(sorry for red font, but black and white were even harder to see than this)

The top three seemed normal, but the bottom two were a bit weird. Where you had -12.5 (top left wire of bottom row) I only got -6.2. Where you had -9.9 (bottom right), I only had -4.4, but I could get it to -9.9 by turning the contrast wheel all the way in the other direction.

(also I might have done the back incorrectly, I wasn't sure where a ground spot was. I used the metal bit labeled e2.

My main concern is with the dead one on the top right...

I find that this is usually caused by bad capacitors. Get a cap replacement kit from kitsch-bent.com

I'll look into it if I can't fix anything. They're sold out right now though sad

Here's what I got on the first board:

Contrast wheel at minimum (Turned counter-clockwise): -11v
Maximum (clockwise): -14v

And I still don't really know where to measure the LCD board and IC, but while looking for them I saw this

(Sorry for bad photo)

Are the two pins circled supposed to be connected? They are located on under the screen to the left of the ribbon cable. They probably are, I'm just showing them because they look kind of weird. (I don't know a whole lot about game boy circuitry, obviously)

Edit: just found the IC. Just not sure how to test it...

The board that is yellow on one side?

Edit: if it is that board, I think I've found the right spots, and they seem to be correct, although maybe slightly less than they should be (~-18v and ~4v is what my multimeter said)

Edit 2: Here's what i measured.
