Hello All,

I just got an EMS cart to use with LSDJ. I've been after one of these for a long time, so yay!

I'm using an old CGB with LSDJ 4.7.3 on alkaline AAs. The speaker's currently busted - I'm waiting for a replacement and using earphones in the meantime - and probably afterwards, but I'd like a whole Gameboy

It's reasonably quiet and as expected at the "gameboy" screen, but using the cart is a different matter. Whenever something is animating, such as the "Welcome to LSDJ" message on boot, or whenever I press a key, the noise increases. With the key presses, it's a burst of noise. With any animation, it's the same kinda sound continuously until it idles.

While playing music, it's pretty well behaved. I can certainly work with it, I've got a lot of learning to do before I would consider upgrading cart or console.

The increased noise in using an EMS cart appears to be widely reported, but I'm wondering if the extra noise described above is typical?

Thanks muchly in advance,

EU
