So once I have all that (the flash cart and the LSDJ to put onto the flash cart) I can make the music and save files on that cart? I assume that, beyond this, I just play through a wire to a computer or recording device to transfer it to mp3 format?

What is the flashcart used for if I'm just using the Gameboy and an LSDJ thingy?

I'm fairly new to the whole chiptune scene (or chip music, whichever you prefer) and I'm trying really hard to understand how the music is made. I have a classic Gameboy and a Sega Genesis right now and would be willing to search for more old systems and/or computers as collecting is sorta becoming a hobby anyway. I want to be able to use the Gameboy as an instrument in itself, as I have seen people like Nullsleep do in Blip Fest videos, but I am clueless as to how to make this happen. I was happy to find this post on how to get started but, after reading through the comments, I am as clueless as before. I don't understand computer talk...yet so things like "trackers" and "flash carts" make no sense to me. Also, I have a Macbook Pro and lots of instruments and recording gear and wires. Is there a go-to place for a precise tutorial on how this all works? Or does anyone have any concise explanation for a nub? lol
