I held down the A button in an emulator and it seemingly crashed after a bit.
Which emulator?? Note that it can sometimes appear to be dead for a couple of seconds.
Wicked! Grabbing the rom now. Does it go on forever or will it eventually "break"?
If by break, you mean repeat, yes it will repeat after maybe a few minutes.
If by break, you mean crash, no it won't crash. Maybe if you rip out the cartridge it will crash. Maybe.
Gradual Decline - A quick Gameboy glitch ROM by nitro2k01
This ROM explores the idea of what would happen if you wrote random data to random IO registers and random positions in video RAM. If you like audiovisual glitches, this is for you. The ROM generates randomized graphics, and bleeps, bloops and static. Sometimes it will even produce tones that are vaguely melodic, even if dissonant.
How to use
Burn to a flash cartridge and run. It’s a unique experience each time you run it. Even though this will not perceivably change the output of the ROM, you may press buttons to seed external entropy into the random number generator.
In principle, the clock can be as fast as you like. In practice there are some limits.
The speed that the silicon in the chip can handle. This is likely a bit above the ~4 MHz that the CPU runs at.
DMG has a 100 pF capacitor in parallel and 220 ohm resistor in series with each signal, for noise suppression. This will give you an upper limit for the frequency as it also acts as a low pass filter. (See schematic)
Not to be forgotten, the cable. A typical link cable, if that's what you're going to use, would have stray capacitance and would probably leave a lot to be desired when it comes to signal integrity.
But yes, ultimately you're limited by the CPU anyway. Even if you could send individual bytes faster, there would not be much point since you have to wait between the bytes.
I know some of you enjoy these articles, so here the next episode, in which I dump the boot ROM of the Game Fighter.
No updates on older nanoloop cartridge support yet, sorry.
As for GB Camera support, this is tested and working. It does not suffer from empty save files or lines in the images like some other flashers. The current output format is a plain sav file, which can be converted using Gijs' online GB Camera converter, for example. It would be easy to add support for directly outputting image files, though.
Edited to make the title overly clear.
Changed.
Add a 27 or 33 ohm resistor in series with the backlight and see if that helps.

The Megaman comparison is at 2:50. There he makes a direct comparison. I'm sure you can find influences from games on this release, but Megaman just isn't it.
He did not say that Crystal Castles are eating babies and supporting terrorism. 0/10, would not watch again. Unsubbed and reported.
Maybe I'm short-sighted, but what more could you really want than NitroTracker? It's extremely usable.
To be honest, it's kind of limited. If I recall correctly from last time using it before my NDS broke down, no support for editing commands. No support for playing back pitch commands (commands 1,2,3 missing, maybe even 0, arpeggio!) Clunky user interface. (Would have benefitted from LSDj style editing, A+directions for notes, in addition to the touch interface.) Overall crappy audio quality, though that could partially be blamed on the NDS hardware.
Use this thing: https://code.google.com/p/lsdpatch/
Though not sure if removing a kit using that will actually free up the memory in a way that my code can detect. but try it.
