I use cigarettes to get decent vocal distortion

can't wait for the 16-LED panels! wink

Machines with buttons are going to be retro very soon.

haha I never recognize these necro bumps big_smile

edit: since it's already bumped I'll post something that poped up after quick research.

This is breakboard for ffc connector:

it is for 30 pin connector but you can cut it smaller and use only 18 pins you need for pocket's screen.

There is still ninja soldering on the front board but this way it should be easier, less breakable and detachable.

Now I want that pinout even more smile

Wish I could afford this. Wiring would be nice indeed but I respect if you won't publish it. But for most this is way beyond soldering skills anyway.

Also, is MIDI the correct mode for this?  There's really not much documentation...

nah, lsdj sync needs to be in the midi out mode - it is the last one.

Basically you are just scoping out what the keys are sending and using the arduino to convert keypresses to midi.

Yeah. Which is just what you need if you want to use cheap small usb-midi only keboards (and other simple stuff).

edit: and who knows, maybe this conversion work for more / many / all midi keyboards. Devices like Kenton's midi-usb -> din-midi convertor works with all midi keyboards / other controllers, so the usb-midi protocol should be something all of these have in common.

There is no simple way to do this. But there is a way:

It also depends on how much power that controler needs. For example these new (and pretty cool looking) Korg micro series are said to suck a lot of juice.


edit:
basically something like this:

could work as an arduinoboy with usb input which would allow you to use for example mgb with small usb midi keyboard (such as Akai LPK). It might even be put inside of DMG. The problem here is that these small versions of arduino and the usb host use 3.3 voltage and it'd have to be tested if the controller runs on 3.3. It should work just fine with bigger arduino (such as UNO) on 5V.

If you did that wouldn't you have to completely open up the gameboy just to change batteries?

EDIT:  Unless you used rechargeables and somehow also fit a charger in there...

Or external charger. Just like Bibin did for his pockets (it was GBA-SP battery)

well, not really, only the buttons are in the way and relocation should not be big deal. You might be even able to find vertical mounted pcb push buttons with the same pad location to directly solder them in place of the original ones.

These are fine machines. I think they are worth something like £200 - £250 now, condition depending.
I'd buy it if I had the money sad Looking for EM-1 instead.

Good luck with your sale!

It's pretty cool, get one if you like it's features. I'll be selling mine (mk-II) to get EM-1 soon. Shipping would ruin the deal for you though. These are on ebay for decent price all the time.
