LSDJ Master -> GB-303 Slave: works
LSDJ MIDI out -> GB-303 LSDJ MIDI: works but no drums yet, no CC either
USB-MIDI -> GB-303 full MIDI: works but no drums yet
GB-303 Nano master -> Nanoloop: works

Posted another video sample of it working with FL Studio.

Will test with the Arduinoboy today.

Also thinking about lowering the price a bit for the first batch because the leftmost pot can block the DMG and GBP power button if you have big fingers. Should I just make a longer PCB or put only 2 pots for the next batches ?

Don't sacrifice a control!  We can just use a pen or something to flip the switch if needed.  Very interested in how arduinoboy works out.  Also if you haven't tried an arduinoboy yet what is "USB-MIDI" referring to?

hmmm, i must look into this.

whoa, whoa, whoa, you mean to say you needed help just figuring out the difference between LSDJ and Chip Maestro, and you think you're going to be doing something with that audio-in pin?

Seems to be working just fine with my Nano 1.1 smile I'll do more testing tonight.


GB Camera dumping works like a charm!  Here's me from 2008:

It has 5 LSDJ-style screens (stolen idea, sorry !) with a sequencer, piano roll, song pattern list, memory manager, and pot configuration screen.
No special visuals, pretty much all text. I'm finishing up the software right now, will post other screenshots in the next days.

SOLD!!!

Wicked! big_smile Does the gb show an interface or have any visuals on screen?

Nice work!

I need to get some of this loca business.

If possible, start with a completely empty memory stick.
Unzip the appropriate hbl download on your pc.
Copy the CONTENTS ONLY of the "hbl-r113-signed-wololo" to the the root of your memory stick, not inside any folder.  Go ahead and copy your Piggy files too.
Boot the PSP and look for HBL in your Games directory and run it.
After HBL is finished try running Piggy.
What happens now?

Unfortunately that's the way it works with goomba.  You have to use save states to keep your work.

Oh yes, I shall nab post haste.

heart heart heart

It's just a bad connection between the cart and the gb. Insert and remove it forcefully several times and it'll be fine.

thanks for posting this!  think i might make a proper sized panel, with loca this would look pretty spectacular imo

Yes it would!  I'll post more pics after I locate a suitable pot to dim it down a little and clean things up.

As far as I'm aware, you can cut the frontlight panel too a little bit without and detrimental effects. As long as you are careful. Saves you cutting the Gameboy when a frontlight is far cheaper.

Good point.

Edit:  actually, as far as this particular panel is concerned, if you cut off some of the top edge of the panel so that it would fit in the lcd frame i believe the leds and opaque area of the panel would cover some of the bottom of the screen.

I suck at backlighting so I tried Kitsch's GBC frontlight panel (http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/frontlight-kits) in one of my DMGs and it shows great promise!

There's no film removal or polarization needed with this panel.  Just drop it in and solder.  But since the panel is sized for GBC it doesn't *quite* fit in the DMG's LCD frame.  I had to trim down that little corner on the lower right:

I also removed the foam pieces from the back of the LCD so that the panel could sit below the edge of the frame.  I used a couple pieces of tape to hold the panel in place while I put it back in the case, they're off to the side and not visible when it's assembled.

I still need to open it back up and do some cleaning and add in a pot to set the brightness.  It's hella bright as is and people have mentioned that dimming it helps with clarity.  But all in all, not bad!  And way safer/easier that backlighting for sure.
