I'm not really doing gameboys anymore. But I will work on a schematic when I get a chance. I'll make it work with the 2n3904 transistor or a dual op amp with a trimmer so people can set their own brightness preferences.

The only problem is that I don't know the full range of the output, so the trimmer will fix that.

That would be awesome. As I mentioned i can do solder this to that things smile

Thanks, i think i get it now.
If i understood that correctly, the Gameboy only supplies 5v and isn't the volume control also a transistor? Thats where the idea came from.

Hi guys im Spud also from germany like the guy above. I used to be shouter in a fakebit band and decided to go with the actual hardware for my next project since it's much more reliable on live gigs than laptops. Anyways i got so hooked up on the modding that i barely find time to actually write music. During my soldering sessions when i looked up certain things, i nearly always stumbled over this forum so i decided to sign up for it. smile

I got some LEDs with matching resistors for 5v laying around, for what would i need the transistor?

That actually looks exactly like what i want.
What i don't understand is... well the whole part after you said i need transistors. Im sorry im not that good in electronics. If someone tells me to solder this there i can do that though.

Can you explain this a little further please?

Hi Guys,
Iam new here. Hope this is the right section.

So i had this idea, i got a transparent orange DMG with an internal Pro Sound Mod. The wires are soldered Prepot so it would give me a steady signal. Since the Postpot solder points are not needed for anything else, could i solder some LEDs to it? Or at least one?

I imagine it quite cool, since the LEDs would light up when there's an output signal and you could dimm them with the volume control.
I also imagine that it's not quite as easy as i imagine.
So do you guys know how many volts are going through this points and why it won't work in the end?

Maybe a good steady 5v as an alternative so i can illuminate the case?

Thanks in advance

If you are using the manager from the cartridge make sure your PC is set in test mode with the program that came along with the drivers.
