pushpin does not use the link port in a normal way but does software UART (the MIDI format) via the unused pin on the gb color's link port. this allows to wire a MIDI cable directly to the link port.
all other programs expect data in the link port's native SPI format and that's what the adaptors are for: they are MIDI to SPI (arduinoboy) or USB-MIDI to SPI (nanoloop adaptor) converters. besides the plain conversion, they have special modes for sync, data transfer and others.

i think your only choices are mgb or to modify pushpin so that it receives data via SPI. or maybe it has an option for that?

In the circuit (Arduinoboy I guess?), there is a microcontroller with software that filters out the MIDI SYNC messages and converts them to signals that the software on the Game Boy understands. In case of LSDj, that would be 8 pulses (=one byte) on the clock line while nanoloop expects the data line to toggle high/low with each MIDI clock.
For emulation, you need to implement this functionality. Just forwarding the MIDI bytes to the link port only works for mGB.

thank you. the sync issue has been fixed. if you have the usb-midi, please update.

i'll look at the pattern sync tomorrow.


nanoloop mono is on engadget now: https://www.engadget.com/2016/11/08/nan … cartridge/

How do you like the matte finish compared to the glossy one of nl one?

not a full manual yet, just an overview:

web-version of the USB-MIDI tool, with link to the 1.0.1 update that fixes the master sync issue:

There is no glide function. You can use pitch envelope for a similar effect.

It's possible to mod a GB Pocket to get mono's sound as clean and bassy as on a a DMG, getting rid of the hiss and highpass filter. It can be done solder-less and reversible, by sticking a few resistors and capacitors on the mainboard. Internal sound is almost completely muted though, so it's a mono-only mod.

schedule:
1. some final tests, adjustments if necessary
2. program carts and usb-midi adaptors
3. ship preorders
4. put together manual

Looks like Volcas don't react to audio clicks from Game Boy either.

Turning the amp on and off will produce clicks on both channels and it will interrupt mono's own sound, which runs through the amp, too. The clicks from turning individual channel on and off are not loud enough.
