using a fine tipped soldering iron will keep the heat focused on the ribbon cable. but if the gbl is the same as the pocket then you may have some problems

Re: Do link cables use battery power? (6 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

nickmaynard wrote:is there any difference between the standard link cable and the dmg07 link cables, in this instance?
When the Gameboy is turned off, no current will through out of the battery, and that's the same no matter what. But a DMG-07 has an active circuit that will use a (very) small amount of power from the master Gameboy when it's turned on, even if nothing else is connected to the DMG-07.
continuing from this
the normal link cables connect the grounds of each gameboy, but not the 5v lines, there is no direct connection of power between the two gameboys, only indirect via the clock lines etc, but the link cables are passive and don't need any power to run, they are just transmitting signals.
the DMG 07 four player adapter has some circuitry in it which needs power to run which it takes from the gameboy, this drain is minimal, i doubt if you timed how long your batteries lasted with it plugged in and not, there would be no diffrence.

hi all, does anyone have an AGS101 gameboy SP they want to sell for cheap?

correct me if i'm wrong...
but it looks like a mono effect. to maintain stereo you'd need two of these, or a different IC with L-input and R-input (or whatever). and L- and R-output
unless i missed something... its probable
true, these are guitar effects so they are mono you would have to sum the audio or use two chips.
that also means that any pots used would have to be stereo making them bigger, unless you had maybe a bank of SMD digital pots...
still i think that you would only want delay on one channel, delay on drums sounds horrible. so you would probably be using two gameboys anyway.

i am thinking of making a wireless adapter thing for the SP that can link with midi or another gameboy wirelessly but also transmit the sound wirelessly so you can have it totally portable but still plugged into the mixer.
also your original thing about having headphones on the SP, i fit headphone jacks to all my SPs which saves having the adapter
that's too bad you can't use them for wireless sync.
but your idea is amazing. as always.
they might still be useful for something i will have to keep playing about with them. but basically if you plug one into your gameboy and switch it on without a game in, then it comes up with a different menu. the SP can recive bootable code through its link port, which is how the wireless adapter creates the menu. but it means they are smart, and don't just convert the link cable signals to wifi.
but we will see
