I use microphone cable to do the connections so I don't have any noise.

Do you mean xlr cable? I though they are mono only.

is there a chipchan yet

Someone should make one...

This looks fantastic. So many positive people, really shows the atmosphere on the video game cons and all the happiness.

Just remember that a while ago when I was DJing, i bought a little handy sampler check it out:
http://www.redsound.com/products/soundbitemicro

Great little thing, can be charged up and work for 12 hours. Has got MIDI sync and lot's of nice features. The only thing I thought, is whether I actually need it or not, how can I use it with a DMG/GBC? Any ideas guys? Otherwise I'm just gonna put it on e-bay, selling all my consoles stuff and some of the audio equipment.

Thanks for your help, kineticturtle, and everyone else! Bought a Soundcraft, hope it's worth the money smile

Okay. So I can't decide between:
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audi … nnel-mixer
and
http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipment/s … 102--68859

First one has got usb recording, plus a bunch of effects but only one stereo RCA input.
The  second one has got..3(?) stereo inputs, but no usb recording and no bells and whistles.
The difference between the price that I found is about $20 more for alesis. Really can't decide big_smile

Mackie 402-VLZ3 would have been perfect if it had the usd feature though, looks awesome too!

Haha, I'm sure they are! What can you say about Alesis Multimix 8 FX? I found one for $130 on ebay and thinking of buying it.

I was thinking about http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audi … fx-regular
And mackie is a bit too expensive for me smile

What I meant is that I don't need phono inputs like for a turntable. I don't really know what a firewire is and what USB mixer does. Does it make recording to a PC easier? And why would you want mono channels on a mixer? Sorry for dumb questions smile

All I want to have is a channel for my PC, and channel for Gameboy/any other inputs and the output will go to an amp and then to the sub/speakers.

I have used Behringer mixers before and just like you I wasn't impressed with them either. Thank you very much for the links, that gave me some good ideas and I found a couple of good items on ebay.

By the way my Vestax mixer is for sale on e-bay if any UK guys are interested. link

I've decided to sell my mixer which I used with turntables Vestax PMC-05 Pro2 and purchase a fairly compact minimum two channel mixer so one of the channels can hold my computer output and the second one could be spare for recording, or playing or anything. Up to 4 channels would be perfect i think. I'm not looking for too many fancy banks with effects, basic EQ will do the job. Can someone recommend a good brand and/or a model to look for? What to avoid and what should I pay attention to when choosing?

Thanks!

I found out what the problem was - scratched green ribbon underneath the lcd. I probably scratched it when I was peeling the stock film. Ordered a triforce backlight from Apeshit and hoping that the second attempt will be more success smile

Also, have you tried switching around the batteries?

The other DMG, absolutely identical, work fine with the same batteries. I gues I'll just order another backlight kit smile Save myself trouble.

Cheers for the answer nitro, I've got a better idea now. I'll try to go through the connectors and see if I can find a broken one, but I doubdt I'll be able to fix such a small thing. Anyway, I've got another working DMG that I can experiment on and I'll report upon success smile It was a bit of a waste of money, about £10, but it was the only UK retailer and I didn't want to pay for the postage from US (regret it now). I'll cosider ordering from your shop Apeshit if I won't get any result with my current backlight, thanks for the info.

Thanks for all your answers guys, much appreciated. I'll let you know how I get on smile

Damn it. Apeshit, what are the new methods of backlighting a DMG? And where can I purchase them?
I'll try desoldering everything and flipping the panel upsidedown. Ribbon cables don't look damaged or scratched at all. Thanks for your answers gentlemen!

Okay, just give me a sec so i'll set up a light and make some pics.
Back side, diode LED and resistor taken off

Backlight pins soldering, ignore the blue thingy, camera glitch...

From the side. There's a bit of black isolating tape aroung one of the pins. None of the pins are touching the contrast pot, or eachother, where they aren't suppose to. Although, the very bottom layer of the plexi module might be touching the right connector of the contrast pot...
