The other option is to use a Mega Memory card. Save the .sav from the Game Boy camera onto the MegaMemory... then put it onto an EMS 64 cart, then rip the sav onto your computer and pull the photos from there.
There are a couple of sites that will decode the .sav file into image files... I just can't find the bookmark at the mo.
Semi necro-bump...
Commodore 64 was my first computer, that my parents bought me when I was 5. Probably irresponsible by today's standards, but the tech world ended up being my passion/career, so there's something to be said about it.
I played in a band for years and then the hatred of each other boiled over to the point where we split up. I didn't play music for ages, and then when I did, I tried to embellish my solo acoustic stuff with various different instruments and sounds to avoid sounding like a singer songwriter cunt. My quest for different noises led me to electronic things, and I remember reading some shit article about 'Game Boy DJs' and ending up buying a modified DMG to try out LSDJ. While I waited for it to arrive I started modding my own, and slowly I progressed into full blown electronic music. That was 5ish years ago... and now I've fallen down the Eurorack hole... but composing on LSDJ is still one of my favourite things to do.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the tips! I've taken down notes and PMd a few of you directly.
I'm really interested in meeting other chippers whilst there. I've never played any of the chipmusic live, but maybe this is the time to get over my fear... just need to re-write a bunch of tracks in LSDJ to fit Live Mode. Hmm.
I have one. It's expensive, but I like it. Makes the whole process much simpler.
Hey all,
So I'm working on a mod right now that has a lot of things that need to tap into the 5v on a DMG and I was hoping someone might be able to explain the best way to hook up multiple wires into the same lead. For example, I have two LEDs that I want to wire into the same leads as my backlight.
Thoughts?
Many thanks!
Since the solder point is relatively small, if you want to run out multiple wires, you can always run one single wire off the 5v+ point and then create a 'junction' at the other end, where you connect all the other wires. Be sure to use some hot glue/heatshrink tube or similar to avoid that join shorting with any other points on the board when you close up the DMG.
Looks awesome. Whereabouts in the DMG is it designed to fit?
Cheers guys, glad to hear people are still interested in this.
@unexpectedbowtie Wow, a full HT album, really looking forward to that!
I wouldn't set your expectations too high. It is going to be my music after all

issue 2 has instructions on how to set up the triple osc gameboy
Cool link, thanks for sharing. Is there any guide to setting up the actual panel with CV in/out/etc though? That doesn't appear to be in that issue, and is something I'm not familiar enough with to try.
I tried e-mailing the guy that made the synth in the OP, but all he said in response to my questions was that he doesn't sell the module anymore, so that's a dead end sadly.
My 'studio' is constantly in flux as it's crammed into a tiny alcove in our kitchen, and I need to move things around all the time depending on what I'm working on. A Game Boy or SID based synth is almost always involved though.
Here's a bunch of pictures:
I post a whole pile of gear pictures on my alter-ego Instagram account under the username @noisepedals:
Bumping this old thread as I might have the change to get one of these things:

Does anybody have one? Details on the power draw/how easy it is to remove the Game Boy and backlight it/HP/if the DMG obscures any modules in the rows above it...
This is awesome!
I have an album in the works written completely on the TI-83 and HT, but I've stalled a bit lately. This is a good kick up the arse to get on with things. Thanks for continually improving the software. 
New demo up... this time of the Earthquaker Devices Rainbow Machine, which sounds awesome as a sort of pitch shifted reverb. The video includes a Twisted Elektrons TherapSID, and Game Boy, so relevant to chip interests!
did you straighten the legs and test it, though?
Nah. Some of them were so badly bent that I wasn't sure they would stand up to the fiddling required to get them into shape, and I feared snapping them off would mean I wouldn't get a refund, so just decided to send it back.
Yikes!
I'm genuinely a bit heartbroken that this chip has gotten so messed up. That's probably ridiculous.
On the flip side, I've went for an 8580R5 instead to replace it. I've always used 6581s, so will be an interesting change.
I recently got into the world of Eurorack, and when I discovered a module that uses the C64 SID for its voice(s), I knew I had to get it to accompany my actual C64 and TherapSID (I'm a sucker). The SWINSID option just doesn't cut it for me.
I ordered one (a 6581) from a seller on eBay that apparently had 'new old stock', and was '100% working'. They also said that they only had one left, despite the listing still being active after I bought that one. Eh, right.
Anyway, it turned up and I could see immediately that it wasn't packaged properly. The legs were sticking through the plastic anti-static bag, and were bent.
I'm going to get a refund, but still pretty furious that they didn't take the time to package it up properly, and have effectively destroyed the chip. I'd avoid the seller. Username: gatchamanf
One option you could consider is trying out LSDJ on an emulator first so you are able to use your computer and try it out before committing to cash on the hardware side. That's what I did, and I ended up completely falling down the rabbit hole...
