mGB is probably the best option for that. LSDj can only be MIDI-controlled through the keyboard mode, which sucks ass.
I'd personally opt for syncing LSDj with a computer master and compose side by side, however. A little more work, but LSDj gives you a good amount of control, that a PC-side sequencer won't be able to give you.

In the end, are you aiming to release this as modern game (Game Maker, Flash) or, eg as a NES ROM?

Have you enabled it in the preferences? MIDI/Sync, right there, enable "sync on" for your controller.

Ok, ok. It's more or less ok with the DMG but total shit when I want to use Gameboy Advance. Its output is just too low.I guess I will get one of these:

Re: LOUDER ! (18 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I wouldn't recommend driving headphones from a prosound. No volume control. May damage the headphones. (Either from the volume alone or from the constant DC current.) May damage the DMG CPU over time. You may get different volume in the two channels since the outputs may have different impedance from each other.
Try this product instead:

The answer is to rebuild the GameBoy from the processor up. Reverse engineer the GameBoy's custom Z80 processor, recreate it in an FPGA, and modify to your hearts content, in this case, assign each sound channel to a different pin. Of course, this is only an option if you are a glutton for punishment who doesn't mind spending at least 6 months on a project.
That exists, but it's not open source. But really, how is an FPGA Gameboy emulator any different than a well written regular emulator?

Re: gameboy mod feasibility check... (14 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
You can do it, but remember there will be a small delay between two synced boys, so if you have to effects or something that are supposed to be triggered in the exact same time, they may sound a bit off. (Like the same mlody playing detuned on two channels, a snare playing on two channels and stuff like that)
When recording, what you could do is use a sync device and record one solo'd channel at a time. When playing live, I would recommend splitting the song up between just two boys and using a regular link cable. That gives you a total of 4 mono channels, or 2 mono channels + 1 stereo channel, or however you want to use it. Heck, I've even recorded a single GB and grouped the instruments in two groups, one in the left channel and one in the right, with decent results. It's all about how much effort you want to put into it and what you expect in return.
And by popular demand, no, there's no way to physically break out the individual channels, they're mixed inside the CPU chip and the best you can get is two audio channels per boy.

Just so there's no confusion, I didn't make the thing, I just reported the news and gave some criticism. But yeah, the difficult part is the FPGA/CPLD programming, I can tell you that much.

Re: Help on Gamecube Gameboy Player (14 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
sxe_weekend: That used to happen on the SGB, with the result that the game wouldn't boot at all. This is different... The cartridge does get contact, but there are sporadic errors. I would guess there's an electrical problem somewhere in the Player, eg a blown capacitor in the 5V power regulator. (5V is used for old GB games, and 3.3V is used for GBA games.)
