vinegar works better than alcohol for removing the battery crud IMO.
but use rubbing alcohol to clean the pcbs off though
I found that out myself. I tried cleaning the battery contacts with nail polish remover, but they were still dirty. I got them clean with vinegar.

If you are using the unit for lsdj there is no point to use a chip, the software can invert the color anyway. plus to be honest the inverted colors look great on the colored backlights, as the the black text and such which is now "white" becomes the color of the backlight.
What color backlight do you intend to put in the unit
I'm going to put a blue backlight in

Go with inverted backlight. it will bump up the resolution very much. The chip to complete a bivert is worth it as well, but I do not recommend that unless you are used to such small soldering.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind! Probably just going to install an inverted backlight and set LSDJ to inverted, and maybe when I'm a bit more experienced install a biversion chip.

Re: DMG cleaning and modding tips needed (24 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Sorry to bump a dead thread, but I just want to let anyone who's interested know that I finally took enough time to fix everything. Cleaned the case (it was kinda dirty, the smell vanished after a while by itself), fixed the vertical dead lines and cleaned up the battery contacts. Going to look back into doing some mods on this one, but I'll probably just backlight it and maybe prosound it. I also might put some coloured buttons in and change the screen cover (it came loose in the process).

Just hit a buttload of Belgians on soundcloud.
Looks like we're with waaaay more than I thought, there's just nobody actively searching for parties or a "chipscene".
Created a soundcloud group for all Belgians, I do hope they'll join in because I seriously underestimated it.
I'm glad to hear that there is a decent amount of chipmusicians in Belgium! Hit me up if you're going to do something over here, maybe I'll join in!

Re: Official Nintendo Power cartridge (29 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
LSDJ might work on this, it has enough SRAM and it should have enough RAM to store LSDJ itself. However, the software Nintendo wrote used 1/8 of the RAM for storing the menu, so if you would use that software, that wouldn't work. Maybe if you remove the software from the cartridge and then load your LSDJ rom on there, it might work. I think it mostly depends on how the hardware is designed, and I don't know anything about the hardware of cartridges. Maybe if you give some gutshots, someone more talented than me might be able to make this work.

2. Battery cover.
3. Orange Back-lighthing (inverted) mode. This Back-lighting was bought and installed from (Nonelectronics) - 2 LEDS.
5. Black front screen protector (NEW), No scratches or damages.
What happened to the fourth point?

Re: GBP missing vertical pixels Help? (3 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I know with DMG's you can use a soldering iron to reflow the solder in the ribbon cable and fix these line. Vertical lines are fixeable on the DMG, horizontal lines are near impossible. I'll look for the tutorial and post it here, you can see if you can do it on this one too.
EDIT: Apeshit's modding guide has a tutorial on how to fix horizontal lines, but I thought there was a more in depth one somewhere on chipmusic.org

Also, you really don't need a modded gameboy to start out with. The only semi-necessairy mod is a backlight and from what I've heard they aren't that hard to do.

Re: Working on first track. (Famitracker) (6 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)
I really like it, it gives me a sunset at the beach kinda feel. I would change the the snare instrument though, I don't feel like it fits the rest of the instruments. Also, maybe change up the hihat every once in a while so that it doesn't sound like a metronome.
It still is a fantastic track though!

i just got a PSP pretty recently from ebay. installing the custom firmware is easy as hell, with a pandora battery http://www.pandorasales.com/pabaon.html
i got the extended life LED one, but it really isn't worth it. drains really quickly, i never use it as an actual battery, so you might as well just get a regular one.
it'd probably be quicker and cheaper for you to order this from a place in china, but you can at least get a good idea of what to look for from here.also you can easily make your own 'magic memory stick' with this http://pspslimhacks.com/rains-ultralite … 500-m33-4/ , you don't need to buy one already made. you can make pretty much any memory stick duo into an MMS (except 32mb is too small). And once the firmware's installed you never have to do anything again, so you can wipe the memory stick and use it for whatever.
What's this pandora battery stuff? I have piggy running on my PSP and never had to buy anything, just open a program on my PSP.
