I actually just made one of those a couple weeks ago, just in a different plastic case. Super useful and cheap project. However I found that it gets balance issues when you have only one channel quiet or silent... the other side gets much louder. Could be the size of resistors I used (1k), I don't really know how to fix it.
Does that happen with yours?

Shintarou,

I am trying re-create your scenario and I am not experiencing any balance issues.

The only time I am experiencing anything you are explaining is that if I have multiple inputs plugged in, i.e. if I only have one gameboy plugged in, it is "louder" than if I had two plugged in, but that is a trade-off of utilizing passive mixers.

Were all your solder connections solid and did you test for resistance at the jack and wires after you were done with making your mixer?

***edit***
Shintarou,

The drop in signal is more pronounced when plugging in directly to the headphone jack of a gameboy. There is noticeably less drop in signal when plugged into a prosound jack of a gameboy.

in what condition do you need it? i can easly grab one for about 10-15€, but they often have a broken hinge or something the like (nothing that couldnt be repaired with a simple replacement part from china).

I'm looking to pick them up local. I found out that they have front light panels that can be used in lighting GBCs and are a lot cheaper to find than GBA SP AGS-001s... at least for me!

Are there photos of the enclosure... I'm a little slow. Just wanted to see what it would look like.

It is going to be the ordinary top and bottom panel that you so commonly see on indie projects. The design is not yet finalized, but you can get an idea from this;

Isn't the purpose of a university assignment for you to do the research instead of asking people for answers?

I use rubbing alcohol to clean off sticker residue and that has never happened to me. Did you try cleaning your DMG with a hammer???

No. XD
It may have been the strength of the alcohol I was using. That and, as I said, it may have just been from getting inside of a crack. That's probably the case since the LCDs in people's game boys are fine. Cleaning the LCD with rubbing alcohol is always recommended.

Then you should say never to clean clear case cracks with rubbing alcohol... the title of your thread is extremely misleading.

Did a mock up on a greyboy and had a spare clear case laying around.

My concerns for an enclosure were as follows:
- Properly measured mounting points and surfaces.
- Angle at which the cart entered in the "slot" of the enclosure to the connector.
- Coverage and protection of the PCB and components.

Since the PCB of the DMG and programmer were of comparable thickness and nothing was blocking the original mounting holes of the cartridge connector I felt that mounting the programmer inside a DMG case was the most logical solution.

Using a clear case would allow the user to forgo any further drilling of the case to expose the lit LEDs, keeping as few and unnecessary cuts and holes as possible in the modding process of the case itself.

Additional LEDs would not serve any purpose functionally and I feel the enclosure looks good as is.
