One thing that would be useful to me, personally, is simply a midi box with sockets for whatever sound chip you feel like using.  I like the various limitations and quirks of various platforms, but I dabble in all of them and would love to be able to record on all of them. A box like this could offer the ability to compose using multiple chips or record with specific platforms in mind.  This would allow one person to stay true to the hardware while another person with the same box could compose for multiple platforms at the same time.  If I could not require a million different platforms just to attain the authenticity I craved, that would be worth at least the amount I've spent on my Gameboys.

Oh yeah, I tried the Edirol to no avail.  I also overspent on my PC, so I have to put off getting a new interface.

The contrast changes randomly.

The "default sounds" are a very well put together FM synthesis engine in addition to your regular pulse and noise.  Kits are not available on the GBA unless you were to use MML which is certainly not what you want.  Just about everything in the three tracks you posted can be done in Nanoloop, you just lose the super lo-fi samples.  The tricks used for these tracks is to get them running on real hardware beside a real game.  Using it for just music you are not stuck with that limitation.  Look up anyone using Nanoloop 2.X and you'll see how crazy versatile it is once you learn how to use it.  6 note polyphony and a robust synthesis engine can accomplish just about anything you could possibly want from a GBA.

Also, it's nothing personal, but if your "research" hasn't presented you with any of the information in this thread you have not done much research at all.

Nope, just scratches on the plastic.  I've been having issues with my black DMG though, so I'm not in a huge hurry to get rid of this one.

Pulled my FB01 out of storage and got my Edirol all set up.  I'm getting my Camera Connection Kit in the next couple days so I can attempt to control it with my iPad.  I'm curious how much effort would be required to port this or write a new sound editor to iOS.  I'd love to not need my PC for any part of this.  I was listening to some jazz fusion while setting it up and it's amazing how perfect of an FM synth this thing gets you considering how much they cost.  I paid $35 each for the two that I've owned.

I usually work the tabletop area from 6PM to 2AM every year.  This year I'm 10am to 6pm, so I can actually do some stuff.
