Do you plan on posting any info on how to do it in the future? I actually used your guide the other day to make my own design, but the actually application of it is whats getting me held up.


also, you cheeky bastard hahah.

If you want to test it, you could always use the inside of a gameboy to do it, or even the inside of the battery door. That way you don't have to mess up an entire gameboy just to test something that may or may not work.

I know it's possible to run in BGB, but has anyone successfully done it on the actual hardware?

Why not make something like this?

Exactly that yes!

I just have a quick question about a theory i've been working on. So basically what i'm wanting to do is create a PS/2 Keyboard that has both the Male PS/2 Port and the DMG Link Cable port, would this be as simple as just splitting the wires so that each one wire separates into two? I wouldn't want to use both at the same time, just have the option to plug in my PS/2 Keyboard to both my DMG and my PC.

Hey, I'd be glad to help out with this. So, first things first, you're using the DMG-04. The problem with this cable is that it does not contain all the necessary pins. You need to perform what's called the "pin swap" by trash80. Basically, you have pins 1,2,3, and 6 in the DMG cable. However, pins 1,3,5, and 6 are required. Meaning you have to move pin 2 to the pin 5 position. Pin 5 is clock, which is needed to sync with the keyboard.

DMG-04 Cable:
/-----------------\
|   1    3    5   |
|   2    4    6   |
-------------------

Now that you have that out of the way, you need to connect the right cables.

 Pin #
GB  PS/2  description
1     4    +5V/DCC
3     1     DATA/Serial In
5     5     Clock
6     3     Ground

You need to know exactly which wire in the ps/2 go to what pin in the connector. If zii.hrs is correct, then it is very easy. Unfortunately not all PS/2 keyboards are created equally, so they may not be exactly the same. If you have no multimeter, or continuity tester, then you will have to take a leap of faith and just do it according to the above schematic. Or, some keyboards will have the connector on the board labeled so you could use that.

DMG-04      Keyboard
Orange  ->  Red
Black   ->  White
Green   ->  Green
Blue    ->  Yellow

I got some of this information from xero's blog, and the LSDj wiki. Hope this helps! let me know if you need more help. I've messed around with these a lot.

Awesome! That should help me a lot with getting this working, thanks so much!

Hey, I'm trying to connect my DMG-04 cable to my PS/2 cable, but I'm having a bit of a problem with connecting the two together. Basically I'm trying to figure out what goes from the DMG to the PS/2  any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ignore the blue and green wires, they're physically swapped in the picture but the correct way is what is listed on the paper.
