Replacing all the caps can't hurt.

just want to say that I love the FB01 and I highly recommend it. basically the same chip as a sega genesis!

You should do an ep of exploring audio about it! Unless you already have?

I dont have experience with the pocket chip, but I have played with a regular chip computer and they're doing an absolutely fantastic job with it. Getting the VM set up to interface with it was a little tricky, but once it's ready to go the thing just works. Completely opposite my experience with a raspberry pi. Plus it's all open source, i think the chip is the answer to a next gen arduino.

I just preordered the pocket chip. I suggest you do the same!

So it's not really a rechargeable arduinoby then right? It's a gameboy with a built in arduinoboy that also has a rechargeable battery?

My 2 cents: I never really got the point of a rechargeable battery in a gameboy. Seems like it's a lot easier to just bring some spare batteries to your show than it is to show up and realize your gameboy is dead, and then wait for it to charge. In a pocket they make a little more sense since the energy density of a li-poly is a lot better than two AAA batteries. Like my SP for example, there's no way of knowing the charge level until it goes into the red.

If you do do it, I suggest using the regular DC jack of the gameboy for charging rather than trying to rig a USB port in it. You can get those USB to DMG cables cheap these days.

Oh or are you just wanting RCA jacks to plug into your mixer or something. In that case, still not worth it IMO. Just get a cable the goes from 3.5mm to rca.

IIRC, doing a prosound on the GBA isn't really worth it. Like it doesn't do anything. Joe Bleeps was playing around with it a while back and I think that's the conclusion he made.

If I were you, I'd just pick up a copy of Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen and call it a day.

cynthcart website says cynthcart 2.0 carts will be released may 2016. You can download it now though.

According to the FAQ on the cynthcart site, cynthcart 2.0 uses the second sid at $D420 (same as kerberos cart). So If I understand correctly, it's the cynthcart 1.2 that will break. So really, just re-wire the sid2sid to be at $D420 and everything will work besides cynthcart 1.2. As for where to wire the SID2SID, no idea.

Pin 2 on the monitor output jack gives a B&W composite. Wire it to an RCA cable where Pin 2 goes to tip and pin 13 goes to the ring (GND).
Also, Pin 1 is audio out, wire it the same way.

At least you can test video and/or audio output and function on it, so the next guy isn't a sucker.

I'm guessing from the solder in the background that this is in your ability! smile

Thanks for that! I had looked and looked couldn't find a way to test video. It's already gone though, so hopefully the buyer sees this!

Just helped 2xAA with his and it appears that the contrast pot fixed his. I recommend you do the same.

Do the lines like flicker, almost like scanlines or something? I backlit my GBA and I get that. There's a pot on the board you can adjust to help it, but mine doesn't seem to do anything.

Just got my carts. They work well! big_smile They're exactly as described. I kinda realized that some of the roms I chose might not be as useful as I originally thought, but it's still fun to have and play around with simple tools smile

Cheers!

Thanks for the update! Glad they got to you safe! If you ever want to re-flash them, I'd be happy to do it. Shipping both ways should be about $6 total.
