One major difference is that lsdjmc2 is just for syncing purpose, whereas with arduinoboy and mGB you can fully control the gameboy's synthesis to play notes etc. Hope this helps.
I type bad when I'm tired.

Also, ^^^^ is wrong.  lsdjmc2 doesn't have an mGB mode, but it still outperforms aurduinoboy in LSDJ keyboard mode as I stated in my above post.  Sucka.

I think you would have to use this to play nsf files on the cartridge.

One obvious way would be to convert the NSF into a ROM. Not sure what all tools there are that do this. Some NSFs might be able to be played. The main problem is that NSFs use a non-standard bankswitching method. I've never acrually run NSFs on my NES before, so I'll have to research this to know more. I will at some point be releasing an NSF player that does the emulation on the PC and sends the sound data to the NES in real-time to be played over the 2A03, though DMC samples won't be supported, due to technical limitations.

There's still quite a bit of work to do, and I don't want to attempt more than I can handle, so I'm trying to stick to a core functionality for the first release, with software updates adding more features.

Begin by looking at a sav file in a hex editor and look at the specification. You probably won't be able to read the file naturally, but in time you'll notice patterns, such as seeing what kind of data you're looking at. (Groove data has a distinct look, for example. Phonem names are written in ASCII. And so on.) That's how I became a wizard.

this hiss buzz is unbearable. is there any way to get rid of it?

i guess i might have to install a switch afterall, guh.

Double post I guess, but...
You may well be getting some ground loop feedback from the TV. There are ways to correct this, but they're pretty involved. I'd say, try it quick with another TV perhaps and see what happens. If the buzz goes away, you know it's the TV, if not then you know it's the NES.

Seems like it can't read the RAM. I'd guess that there's a loose connection somewhere. A hardware error in other words. It's not a battery problem. If it was, the cart would hold the info as long as you had the Gameboy turned on.

Try looking for dirt in the cart slot as a first thing. Next, try writing a sav to the cartridge from the PC and immediately read it back to the PC, and see if it's empty.

I used to have this when i first got my cart. Try replacing the sav on your cart with a new blank one.
