Thanks Peter, that's useful! So with that, do you use LIVE MAP mode or MIDI OUT mode? Sorry if that's a dumb question, I just have never had any issues with midi out at all.

Plus, you get Youtube Red for free with Google Play Music Unlimited. Combine those together and I think the value is much higher than any other streaming service. I actually watch Youtube a lot, regularly from channels I subscribe to and it's nice to be able to support them without having to see ads. Plus, GPMU lets you upload your own music for free, which I don't think any other streaming services allow.
I know this isn't supposed to be a "what streaming service is best" thread, but dismissing Youtube Red like that really doesn't make sense.

Topic: help improve the arduinoboy documentation (9 replies, posted in Tutorials, Mods & How-To's)
For a class I have to make a little booklet in inDesign. I thought it would be nice to have a little instruction manual to go along with all the kits I sell.
The problem is that the documentation available isn't super amazing. A lot of the modes I can't really test either.
I was wondering if people have experience using different modes, they could post a little info on how to set it up and any tips and tricks you might have.
All the work I've done with it is released under the same license that the original code was released under (GPLv2). This document would be released under the same license.
Here's a copy of the documentation Trash80 originally wrote:
- Affordable and easily accessible parts for assembly.
- Accurate MIDI Sync, Start and Stop commands.
- Push Button to select the sync/state mode (7 modes available)
- LSDJ as MIDI Slave Sync with sync effects and midi note transport control. Also Note value to LSDJ song position row offset on Song Start.
- LSDJ as MIDI Master Sync. Send Midi sync with LSDJ, LSDJ also sends a Midi Note on message that corresponds to the song row number
- LSDJ PC Keyboard mode. with the first octave controlling M-U-T-E, Cursor control (LSDJ Live mode only), Table selection and table cue.
- MIDI to Nanoloop sync
- Full MIDI with mGB (Details below)
- LSDJ LIVE MAP ... incoming MIDI notes cue LSDJ row numbers, requires custom LSDJ version on the LSDJ site.
- LSDJ MIDIOUT ... sends MIDI out from LSDJ, requires custom LSDJ version on the LSDJ site.
- Midi Out Doubles as a Midi Thru
- "Filtering" data for only sync messages, no dedicated MIDI line required.
- Tested and works with DMG (Original), Gameboy Color, and Advance/SP.
- Can be powered by the gamelink port.
- USB upgradeable via Arduino.
- mGB Cartridge Mode: Full MIDI in support across all Gameboy Channels, including a unique "poly" mode. Tested and works with DMG01, GBC, GBA, GB AdvanceSP

Re: LSDJ Keyboard Wiring - Help Needed (8 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
There's only like 4 wires right? I'd just hook them up random until it works. GND and PWR should be pretty easy to determine because the caps lock lights should turn on, right?

*thumbs up.
Thanks! It's in the mail!
Just a note for everyone, I added an additional mode for the PS/2 jack. The arduino itself doesn't have to do anything with it, so the mode simply turns everything off so the arduino doesn't interfere. After the two LED flash for Live Map mode, it does a three LED flash for PS/2 mode. Sorry if that's confusing, let me know if you have any questions!

Topic: COMPLETE LIST OF GB/GBC GAMES (0 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I'm working on a complete list of GB games including cartridge type and other information. Luckily, someone already made a list, but it's pretty poorly formatted (they exported it from an excel document?).
I took the list, added some style, and removed some unneeded information.
There's still a TON of duplicates, as well as some incomplete data (one table cell is missing, so the whole rom row is off).
If anyone here has time that they want to do some basic text editing, I would really appreciate their help! The code is all on github, so send me a pull request!
Planned features are the ability to sort the table by a specific column, advanced search, and possibly images. Basically I want this to be like the bootgod NES cart database.
Anyways, check it out: http://catskull.net/gb-rom-database/

Uh is that an MBC1 taken out of an official cart? LSDJ won't work on MBC1 right?

Re: how to update lsdj cart? (27 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Where did you buy that? Witht he painted shell, it's probably a regular cart with the rom replaced. It might not even be flashable with a programmer.

Wait I thought the pyramids were the spaceships, not a communication tool. But then who built the stargate?

Re: Ben Heck's Giant Game Boy (23 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I think internet commenters forget that sometimes you build things because you think they will be cool, not because you absolutely must have them or because it's practical. Why did the egyptians build the pyramids? I for one thought this was super cool.

This is very cool. Loved seeing your desk setup as well. I'd say it's worth trying the low-energy module because even at higher cost it would yield results that would save up enough money for a few cables.
Incredible to think that a Teensy 2.0+bluetooth module inside DMGs could be made to connect with a rig like this someday.
Thanks man! Here's a panoramic of my messy desk (taken a few weeks ago).
I think I will pick up a LE module and see how it works. The adafruit module is fully programmable with the arduino IDE, so it might even be possible to just use that for everything, no teensy needed. But yeah, fully internal probably would work actually.

Re: i need to buy 10 gameboys, can anyone help? (10 replies, posted in Trading Post)
BennVenn sells el-cheap-o flash carts that support LSDJ for like $15 or something crazy like that.
I'd just scour eBay and pick em up one by one. I assume any gameboy will do?
