Since this thread is going nowhere so fast, here's more Moltar.

Damn it, can't get this to work properly atm. Ok, name changed.

Old name, for reference: ΠᶸϾLΔϾξ

Btw, I'm always vexed by people who use Greek later creatively in names, because I can actually read the Greek alphabet. Your name loks more like peldex or something to me.

Keep in mind that one of the 4 wires is for the existing jack is for the switch that turns off the speaker when headphones are inserted. You probably screwed up which wires goes where.

Sir, I don't like your suggestion that just because I have a modified display and buttons, I'm not a person. I'm just like you, just slightly different.

Herr-prof's picture is a child rapist, which is him

Shadow-Bit, I think you've misunderstood the situation. It seems like your view of what happened is:

Shadow-Bit: How much is it going to cost?
herr_prof: [random insult]
Shadow-Bit: [random insult in return]

When in actual fact herr_prof's answer, eleventy, could be interpreted in one of the following ways:
1) Actual answer. Eleventy is slang for 110, which is similar to the "about $100" figure previously suggested for the first batch.
2) Witty way of saying "look through the thread before asking."
3) Witty way of saying "just wait and see."

I think you may be having problems with sarcasm, (generally speaking) and I suggest you try to avoid sarcasm if you can't do it right. Or you'll risk pissing people off...

You have probably managed to make the contacts for the contrast dial come loose. Go over those connections quickly with the soldering iron. Melt the solder on those pins, but don't keep it heated for too long. See if that solves it.

There's also a chance that you've damaged the connection between the PCB and the flex connector that goes up to the LCD panel.

What other chips are there? You have PSG, which is essentially square waves and similar simple sounds. You have YM* and similar FM chips. You have SID.
Maybe you could hook up trash80's sound generator and get another channel of LSDj-ish wav synth.

Ah! I really should have made myself clear - I meant if any Game Boy cartridges had used the Game Boy's ''fifth sound channel'', though I really like the Blake Stone MIDI music video you posted, hadn't seen/heard that before!

Ah. No officially released titles ever used it. There was this cartridge, Pocket Voice, that may have used it. There's also one or two homebrew games that used it to create a square way with software by turning it on and off. This works only on some cartridges, where the external audio pin is tied to +5V through a resistor, which presents a constant voltage on that pin.

That's not actually the firmware, but the configuration for the USB -> serial chip. The firmware exists in the microcontroller onboard, and can't be upgraded without special equipment. It may well be that the firmware is what's damaged, or that the chip is damaged.

Now, define "doesn't work". For example, plug in the one that doesn't work and look in the Windows device manager. What do you see? In the flasher program, if you click "cart info", what do you see?
