I'm listening to this right now in my room, with the door closed, on my laptop, on low volume.

If it's a gba it doesn't have lighting.

Gba or gba sp?

I enjoy reading instruction/user manuals more than novels and biographies.

How's it going folks. I have a general question about electricity that deals with usb and battery chargers.

I went ahead and purchased hardware to make a rechargeable DMG via Zaxxon's project thread below:
http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/11045 … ed-update/

I purchased the charger with a usb tip and am planning to fit either a Female USB port or mini-port to the DMG case for charging via USB.

The charger itself is rated with the following output:
DC 4.2V
0.5A

A USB 2.0 port connection on a computer provides the following:
DC 5.0V
0.5A (up to)
5A (charging)

It looks like I will be able charge the Li-Ion battery via a USB port but what I am having a little difficulty understanding is when the 5 amps of current run through a USB cable.

Is it 5 amps of current when the USB is plugged specifically into a charging port which is plugged into a wall socket for charing a device at the other end and 0.5 amps of current when the USB is plugged into a computer regardless of what is plugged in at the other end?

I want to get my files sent to the PCB fab house soon, so can everyone send money by Friday the 16th or maybe Monday the 19th? Prices are below for reminder. I will accept paypal at Apple2ja*cmich*edu (no astrisks of course). If you choose to ship as a gift, make sure I know your address and if you send as payment for an item, please accept the charges related. Note, I will still accept additional orders up until Monday, but here is a list of people on this site:

Jazzmarazz: 1 board (paid)
Bitman: 1 board (unpaid) = $18.90
Katsumbhong: 1 full-kit (unpaid) = $45.29
DCS: 2 pre-soldered boards (unpaid) = $67.80
Kineticturtle: 1 pre-soldered board (unpaid) = $33.90
Kitsch: 2 boards (unpaid) = $37.80

Board only = $18.90 (shipped)
Board with Atmega & FTDI pre-soldered = $33.90 (shipped)
Full kit unsoldered = $39.29 (shipped)
Full kit presoldered chips only= $45.29 (shipped)
Complete and ready to go = $ 49.29 (shipped)

Let me know if I made a mistake on what people owe. Katsumbhong, you mentioned wanting someone to source parts, but didn't say straight-out that you wanted the full kit. Is that correct? I have $50 in my mouser cart right now if there was anything people needed added, let me know ASAP!

We can worry about an eeprom order later.

I'd like the full she-bang complete ready to go! I can solder in my cartridge connector!

"bought a Zelda cartridge with 32K RAM. With this large RAM you can play nearly all GBC games.
Second, buy the 29F032B-90SD flash chip from www.spoerle.com or from www.jameco.com." It's the 29F032B-90SD I can't find.

Did you give any of the companies a phone call?

I remember a thread about fixing problems of the GB-PC sync issues. Was there a solution to the USB sync?

This is a "for sale" thread.

If you have a question about a previous thread in another section I suggest you go to that thread and look.
