i wouldn't buy a ton of stuff for making gameboy music before you've ever even used lsdj. download the rom for 2 bucks from the official site. and at least make one simple song with it before you buy a gameboy, a flash cart, the materials to do a pro sound mod, a midi interface, a midi keyboard, etc.

get the rom for two bucks, try the rom, THEN get other stuff (if you like it).

For me it's all about the feel, the sound and the portability of the hardware. Just using LSDj on an emulator would never get me hooked. Besides, the price for a DMG, a LSDj licence and a USB cart is ridiculously low for what you get imho.

I've tried hooking up a DMG to a cheap DC power supply. Worked fine but much more prefer to mobility of having it battery powered. Consider getting some rechargeable batteries, it's well worth it.

It was super nice playing in NYC again. I had a blast!
Thanks everyone for showing up,
I heart you all!

Me neither, and I like using them a lot. Personally I would suffice with 16.

Are there other practical benefits other than a faster boot?

I would really disagree on this, just search for "Firewire problem audio interface" and you'll get hundreds of forum threads about that. Apparently there is a complex set of problems you can have with firewire, lousy FW chips like the dreaded Ricoh, and driver problems...

Some interfaces run just fine on any FW400 chipset which leads me to believe that it's more a matter of flawed audio interfaces or drivers. Never the less, I keep seeing TI chipset being recommended in general.

I challenge you to write an OST for the movie Earthlings.

Generally speaking Firewire is better than USB (less load on the CPU) but also more expensive and most win laptops have bad firewire chipsets, so you'll just end up with a lot of problems.

Just to clarify a bit here, chipsets of FW400 is rarely (I would say never, but just in case) a problem. And since most laptops are equipped with FW400 you shouldn't need to worry. FW800 however is a different story. There I strongly recommend the Texas Instruments chipset.
Also, USB should be fine for interfaces with 2-4 inputs and outputs. But it depends on the audio drivers and how well the computer and OS is set up.

What, plugged in direct, or through an amp?

i guess probably through an amp... although i don't see how that would matter.

It does. Instrument and line level inputs have different impedance.
You can connect a guitar to a line input but you will loose signal and frequency. A DI box in between is then highly recommended.
The Focusrite interface however is equipped with instrument inputs.
