Australia that is.

Let me tell you a secret. There is no land mass south of East Asia. Instead there's a sunken land, mostly equivalent to what we call Atlantis, even though it could easily be called Pacifis, because of its position. It's in this mythical land, that this wondrous piece of technology is being developed.

Looking at the picture again, I realize the edge extends a little bit longer on the side where the switch is. Clever, and I'm sure this works in general, but I would've made it extend a little longer, even if it ruins the visual appearance of symmetry. A real GB cart would push it all the way, and I'm sure there's 1 GBA out of 100 where there's some corrosion on the switch or something so it'll only work if it's pressed almost all the way in.

That answers the robustness question. But what about GBA compatibility? That edge cannot possibly push the switch reliably. Will it boot in GBA mode?

Maybe. I guess time will tell.

It seems like a classic case of "stuck on page 2". The cartridge has two "pages" you can put different games/programs on. The way you switch from page 1 to page 2 is by turning the power off and on again. However, to go from 2 to 1, you need to leave the cartridge unpowered for x amount of time. This should just be a few a seconds or maybe a minute, but on some cartridges it's much longer than that for unknown reasons. The usual suggested fix is to put the same ROM in the second page as well, which you can do with the included write program. Doing so should load LSDj fine whichever page the cartridge happens to load.

What kind of data accident? If you only had file system damage, even really bad file system damage, but the disk itself seems to be find, I'm pretty sure I have tools to restore it. If you want help, send me a PM.

The TI-83 has no sound, and not much in the way of software, so it's just a calculator.

Not really true. People have known how to get sound out of the thing for ages through the link port. If you don't have the right plug, you can get the sound of it by holding it up to an AM radio. Lately someone even made a Gameboy emulator for it by exploiting how similar the CPUs are.

I'm guessing you're using parametric or polar modes in the later images, btw?

You're off by 4 pixels. It's 160*144 as Chainsaw Police said above.

In short: You can sequence notes and drums, sync it via MIDI and control all parameters on the right side of the panel, except for the mix levels.

For a demonstration, check out the MIDI in video in that post, in particular 1:45 and forward for a proof of concept of what you can do over MIDI.

Never tracked on paper. I have however written Gameboy assembly code on paper.

Well, as far as I know, there has only ever been one minus vote, even though it's not mentioned in the master list. The idea is that if it ever happens (again), there should be a description why the trader received negative feedback, so people can read it and make up their own mind.

How does it feel when you insert the EMS cartridge on one 'boy or the other? Does one feel like a slightly snugger fit than the other?

µB: That one and any one that contains a string is "cheating". Instead of generating the sound algorithmically, the content is sequenced and stored as a string. While certainly still cool, I think it's no longer made in the same original spirit. You're no longer just letting the numbers speak.

Did you put a resistor on the signal wire, though? That's highly recommended for protection...
