I'm not up and running with LSDJ and an original GameBoy and am having a blast! One problem I ran into, however, is that the wave channel sounds basically like ass. There's grungy off-pitch feedback when I use the synth feature or drums. The TR-707 drums really make it go crazy. Kitch-Bent mentioned that it could be due to a flaky CPU as some of the CPU models had flaky WAVE out? This GameBoy has an "A" revision CPU so sounds like I'm SOL there smile

But I was wondering if there is a correlation between the PCB revisions and CPU revisions as well as which CPU/PCBs work the best for music makins? I mention PCB since Kitch also mentioned it is easy, for say, an eBay seller, to look at the PCB revision by just taking the battery cover off.

Any advice there?

The soldering iron trick worked like a champ! I was a bit worried since it took a while for it to work but I was able to restore ALL my dead vertical lines. Very cool!
