Ok, I've gotten confirmation from doctor scale, and it does have the custom instrument, but it sounds a bit different, as seen earlier. Tmie to get to work, then.

Re: The DMG's 5th Sound Channel? (97 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
The chips arrived safely. However, there's a small cloud in the sky. The date code says 1040, which means week 40 of year (20)10. This means that these chips appear to be clone chips. little-scale has written about this topic. And here's a video showing what a clone chip might sound like:
My worries, in particular, is that the one voice that can use custom parameters is missing or crippled to the point that it just sounds crap. Maybe little-scale has some insights on that. For all we know, this might even be a player, playing back recorded samples, or something like that.
The chips I have should still work, and I will abstain from judging until I've tested the chip, but maybe this won't turn out to be the perfect candidate for a modification like this, at least not the clones (which is what is available in quantity.)

Instructions will be posted upon the official release of the cartridge. It will probably involve such novel concepts as credit card payments an international airmail.

Will there be an optional wooden model? I'm Amish, you see, and don't like to depend on batteries or other electronic parts. So, if this is a viable option, how many oxen will be needed to run it? Don't even ask how I got on the internet. Short story...it turns out it's all just a complex series of tubes.

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.

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...

Re: Black screen? (3 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
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.
