this isn't super helpful, but from former electronics experience i would recommend using rosn core solder. idk if that's what your using or not or if its the iron. but it looks like there's a bunch of flux on the board that can slowly corrode the pcb. using flux on the board and then putting on solid solder will work, but its not the best from my experience. again from my best experience using some of the thin rosn core solder from radio shack has worked great for me for the past 6 years working on hobby electronics.

as for your problem it could be a bridge in the connections or the gunk around the solder points. don't know what else might be a possible culprit atm.

I'll try to get my hands on some new solder. smile

As for the double post, CMO still doesn't support deleting posts for some reason, but most people just edit them and write "double post" or something similar.

I tried v1.0.8, but never got it to play nice with LSDj. When it boots up, it goes into the no multi-track mode (aka. you can't work on more than one track at a time / save & load). I think it's meant to be used for people with a lot of different games that don't use a lot of save space. Try v1.0.4 instead. smile

Edit: Remember to format the card. wink

The buzzing is just the gameboy, it's part of the charm so to say. wink
Can't say the same for the distorted recordings. The mic channel really isn't supposed to capture anything but microphones though - something something impendance. Do you have a line in socket instead?

Edit: Dire Hit beat me to it.. smile

As far as I can tell it looks good. Tried tugging it around the connections, it sits tight.

Edit: The headphone jack does produce audible noise.

Hey again. I found my way back to trying to fix the built-in sound of my gameboy.

I'm a bit embarrassed to post this picture, but I'm hoping one of you can spot the problem (aside from the board being scorched), so this is how the solder points look around the volume pot:

My only excuse for the pain is your eyes is the quality of my soldering iron. Thought I could get by with a china thing for 5$ - boy was I wrong. Getting a new one ASAP.

Yo, so today I wanted to install two RCA sockets to accompany my already working 1/8" prosound mod.

In my first attempt I accidentally grounded the right channel, so I had to re-solder the wires for both the 1/8" and RCA sockets (the right channel was also missing from the built-in 1/8" socket).
After my second attempt, I have both the prosound outputs working perfectly. The built-in headphone socket does however not work at all anymore, neither does the speaker.

So I ask, has anyone experienced this before? Do I re-solder all the points around the volume wheel again and hope for the best? Or have I messed up some other connection (since both prosound outputs still work)?

Thanks in advance!

Just tried to build it with the latest wla dx (v 9.6), works fine wink

Aha, I think I got my hands on v 9.5 wink

For a non-joke title I would say IAYD's Like A Phoenix. It's not that the title is special in itself, it's the cover art, track titles and last but not least the actual music that makes the album come together in a neat way.

Before I got a DMG I used my old frontlit GBA SP for LSDj. I found it really pleasing to use, and didn't experience any trouble with noisy sound whatsoever. You can get a headphone adapter from eBay for about 2-3 euros, and the frontlit screen isn't bad at all. I don't get why people fuzz over the frontlight on the GBA SP - it illuminates the screen perfectly. smile

Just amp the volume until it looks about right. (Remember to CLIP and not WRAP)
