I'm an idiot, can you sum up what exactly Deflemask is and what it's capable of? It can export various roms for playback on hardware right?

Re: What do I need? (9 replies, posted in General Discussion)
If you want to sync to an NES famislayer is your friend. I have no experience with it though. http://www.heavyw8bit.com/famislayer.php
If you want the most flexibility MIDI is really your friend. It's not just for going to a PC. You could use LSDJ to control an external synth or drum machine. With the impending release of FaMIDI, you could also control your NES with LSDJ. I mean for most chip instruments there's a MIDI interface of some sort, so they'd all be able to talk to each other.
DISCLAIMER: I'm selling arduinoboys. That will get you LSDJ midi in and out, nanoloop midi in, mGB, and more. If you like building electronics then it could be a fun kit for you to build. I just didn't want this to sound like shameless advertising because it really seems like an Arduinoboy would be right up your alley.

What about having terminal screw ports?
For the link cable connector? The current design actually has that, but I just soldered the cable in because I didn't want it to come out. Would that really be easier than a straight up link cable port? Then you wouldn't have to butcher cables.

I really like the terminal screw port idea, so much that I would even like it for the female midi connections. Would definitely make it easier to break out to a more robust build.
This, in conjunction with what herr_prof said, has me thinking I would like to do two kits. One would be as small and cheap as possible, and one would be bigger and more versatile. The bigger one would be the shield style like I sent you. I'm thinking about having both footprints for midi jacks, as well as footprints for screw terminals. Cost wise, the midi jacks are among the most expensive components, so that's cool with me to cut that out. Having said that, if someone really wanted to put their kit in an enclosure, they could just not solder the jack and instead use a panel mount midi jack and solder the wires into the pads. But again, there's plenty of room so on the next version I'll add the screw terminals for the midi jacks.

I'm trying stuff out on a Raspberry Pi, and this is what I am aiming for. I have a broken board from which I can desolder the link port, but wouldn't this be quite expensive for a kit, unless the link port is some standard port that you can buy individually?
I actually found a supplier of new GBC/GBA link ports! So it wouldn't increase costs much and you wouldn't have to butcher old boards!

Probably, google vegaplay rom and try it out.

Yes just like that. Lol would you know what cartridge would be best to do this with
Best and easiest bet is using Infinite NES lives' boards. Looks like Vegaplay is just nrom so use this board: http://www.infiniteneslives.com/nessupplies.php#NROM
If you email him he might even flash your rom onto the board for you. He also sells shells.
Beyond that, I know nothing about vegaplay so you're on your own.

Nobody wants to snag one early?
Would it be cool if instead of cutting a link cable, you could just plug one into the arduinoboy directly? As in, you'd actually solder a link port onto the PCB? Or would people rather solder them right on?

Any idea on how much shipping to the Netherlands would cost
?
I have no idea, but I could find out for you!
So I have some good news and some bad news:
Good news is that everything works! Midi out via lsdj works! I don't have nanoloop to try syncing with that, but the hardware is the same so there's no reason it shouldn't work.
The bad news is there is one tiny error on the PCB. I have a fix that's really cheap and easy to do though, so it shouldn't actually matter that much. All the rework is done on the bottom side of the PCB so aesthetically it will still look great! Here's a picture of the gory details:
I think where I'd like to go next is to get 4 "beta" testers. What I'm thinking is they will buy a fully assembled kit at the unassembled price. So with the extra shipping, it would be $20 for a shield with no link cable or arduino. You could still get those at the regular extra price ($5 each). If anyone is interested, PM me. If you think you have a better idea, let me know as well! What I'd be interested to know is your overall experience. Are you satisfied? Does it work? Did it break? Basically you'd be getting a discount and more direct support from me in exchange for your feedback. I'm open to non-US testers as well, but you'd have to pay the extra shipping.
If any of that doesn't make sense, let me know. If you have any qustions, feel free to ask!
Thanks!

after gb303? no thank you lol
Hahaha, don't blame you there! I promise not to take anyone's money until They're totally ready to go.
I've been testing and it's looking good! I'm not able to get LSDJ to do midi out though, does anyone have any advice on how that's supposed to work? The led flashes when LSDJ fires a midi note, but I don't hear anything on the synth. Midi into mGB works great though!
What are people interested in as far as link cables go? DMG only (no power), DMG/CGB dual, or CGB only? It looks like the dual cables CGB port has power, but the DMG side doesn't. I assume the CGB only cables do power also, but I don't have one to verify.
Also, a bit of bad news. I underestimated shipping. 
By the time I get the envelopes and labels as well as the postage, it's looking like it will be $5 flat rate CON US. Is that a deal breaker for anyone? I'm really bummed that I already said it was included. I should have checked before I said anything. I hope nobody is too disappointed by that.
Also, if I do the dual link cables it's looking like it will be $5 for a half instead of $4. I guess if someone wanted to send me a link cable for me to build theirs with, I could just use one half of it for theirs and then give them a $5 discount to keep the other half.

Is the BennVenn 256M GB Flash Cartridge supported with the current ALTANE software? I'm tempted to get one from kitsch-bent as it fully supports LSDJ unlike my everdrive with it's partial support. The cart is a GB/GBC compatible re-programmable flash cartridge with 256M (32mbytes) ROM space. it can manage up to 16 different save files on one cartridge. fully LSDJ compatible! I might hold out till you come back from your reorganization and get a fighter cartridge instead.
Funny, I just noticed those on KB tonight too. I have the same question. The BennVenn carts are great, but his flashers are fragmented and poorly supported. I also have a fightercart and it's just ROCK SOLID, but having a cheap BennVenn cart would be really nice to have around. I really hope ASM comes back soon because their products are just awesome.

Re: catskull electronics update 5/25: Teensyboy! (188 replies, posted in Trading Post)
Thanks for all the positive feedback! I should clarify that when I say that shipping is included that means CON US. international will be extra.
As far as timeline is concerned, I don't really have one. Hardware just takes forever to iron all the bugs out. I'm waiting on pcbs right now, so assuming they work, I could have kits within a month.
I can say that the shield style will be the first produced.
I should also clarify that the arduino I'd be selling are the Chinese clones. I have one in my hands and can say it works well enough. Quality is decent but not great. I'd probably recommend you buy an official arduino, but they're so much more expensive.
