munchluxe83, I don't know what your project consists of, but if you're planning to use a regular link cable to connect to your project, and also tap power off of the Gameboy, you need a modded cable plug to do that reliably. The cables typically do not carry the +5V pin from one end to the other. If this is the case, use half a cable for your project and connect the wires inside your box.

Ok. To be more precise, how severe is the physical damage?

Time To Get Obscure - Compilation for weird time signatures

This is a compilation frmo 2009. There's no official page for it anything like that I think. There used to be a discussion about it on some other site, but then said site accidentally the whole thing or something like that.

 // react to joypad presses
  while(1)
  {
    waitVSync();

    countdown++;
    if (countdown>60){
      countdown=0;
      imgNew++;
    }

    // copy current index
    imgNew = imgCurrent;
    if (!(PADREG & PAD_RIGHT)) imgNew++;
    if (!(PADREG & PAD_LEFT)) imgNew--;
    // wrap around if neccesary
    imgNew = (imgNew+imgCount) %imgCount;


    // copy image
    if (imgNew != imgCurrent)
    {
      copyImage(pScreen, imageinfo.list->start[imgNew]);
      imgCurrent = imgNew;
      // wait keyDelay frames
      for(keyDelayCount = keyDelay; keyDelayCount > 0; keyDelayCount--) 
      {
        // next time use shorter delay
        keyDelay = KEYREPEATDELAY;
        waitVSync();
        // both keys are released ?
        if ((PADREG & PAD_RIGHT) && (PADREG & PAD_LEFT)) 
        {
          // use initial delay 
          keyDelay = KEYWAITDELAY;
          // break from loop
          break;
        }
      }
      countdown=0;
    }
  }
}

Something like this-ish maybe a little bit? Note that I've shuffled things around a bit, so copy all of the code as is.

You also need to declare the countdown variable (or technically countup) somewhere near the start of the function. This is where all the other variables are defined.

int countdown;

The time taken waited between each frame image is controlled by "if (countdown>60){". 60 here means 60 frames, which is one second.

This is one of many things I've thought about doing (in concept) but then never actually did. For those who didn't read/understand, here are some details you may want to know about.

The modification is using input and outputs on the CPU that are normally used for reading the buttons. In other words, using this exact modification, the SD card must be connected inside the Gameboy.

The modification is using an MBC1 chip. MBC1 can normally support 32 kB of SRAM. However, the modification is using SRAM address lines from the MBC1 chip as control lines for the SD card. This limits the available SRAM size to 8 kB. Which means no LSDj for that reason.

It's using a RAM chip as a replacement for the ROM chip, which means that the program/game needs to be loaded into RAM. This would take some time, and according to that guy, it's slow for big ROMs. (And LSDj is twice the memory size he's using.) So, it would be slow, and need to be done on every startup.

This mod also requires you to explicitly save data, so without adding a battery, data would be lost unless explicitly saved.

This mod is interesting and impressive on its own merits, but changes nothing regarding the flash cart business. Wait for derpcart instead.

Do you have the following items?
* Another cartridge that you ARE able to flash
* Two Gameboys, of which one needs to be a GBC
* A link cable

If you do, I would like to try something with you...
