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.

E-mailed.

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...

The dead rows/pixels were probably broken/fragile before the mod was installed, and then finally broke from the extra stress.
I have a hard time seeing where the smell would come from unless something is shorted or incorrectly connected inside the unit. A short circuit could come from some form of debris (pieces of wire for example) tossing around inside the unit. I don't see how teh hell you actually manage to do it in this case, but if you've connected the batteries directly to a power supply unit, that will likely cause them to catch fire. I suggest you open up this 'boy and tro to located the offending component. Also take pictures while you're at it. You never know how they'll come in handy.

Ugh, not WS_FTP LE. It's the descendant of WS_FTP95 that every tutorial ever in the '90s mentioned, so it must be good, right? Use Filezilla instead.

zerolanding: Did you attempt to only remove the reflective film, and preserve the existing polarization film? I tend to remove both in one go and use a replacement film (which you have to anyway if you're biverting, of course.) I also recommend adding a little rubbing alcohol as you go along, which dissolves the glue slightly.

I dont think i can recover the songs off LSDJ by backing it up i think ill just start over with a new cartridge.

You can't, but I probably can. Even if the files appear to be gone, there may still be data left in the file.

There's one that someone put in some form of solvent or die, which looked kind of fuzzy, but wasn't actually fuzzy. My primary concerns when seeing this are durability and accessibility of the select/start buttons. I'm getting the feeling it might be difficult to press those buttons.

You probably want TmEE's crystal clear audio mod. However, the image with the schematic seems to have vanished from the face of the planet. It used to be here:

This one still works and contains a messy schematic of the audio hardware.

Excuse me if I'm mistaken, but that schematic looks a bit weird. I believe the ground connection is incorrect. In all schematics I've seen so far, you connect ground (pin 8) to the counter-clockwise terminal, +5V to the clockwise terminal and the input to the wiper. Your only ground connection is through a capacitor, which will stabilize the voltage reading, but the circuit will not in itself form a voltage divider, but relies on the C64 side to provide the bottom half of the voltage divider. Is this intentional?

BP, are we talking about a prosounded boy?

Let's do some math.
120 BPM is conveniently 1 beat per second.
1 beat = 1/4th, so a 1/128th is (1 beat)/32 = 1/32 seconds @ 120 BPM = 0.03125 s or 31.25 ms.
1/32 seconds also corresponds to one cycle of a waveform at 32 Hz, or only a few cycles at slightly higher bass frequencies. This makes fast arpeggios sound a bit ugly/unclear for bass notes. Each note is played for such a short number of cycles that the brain can't figure out which note is being played.

So, yeah, ask me/send me the sav file. I've been able to recover lost songs many times.

I don't believe the rating mechanism's effectiveness. Because i bet there are far more better songs which are not on the top rated song lists.

It's automated, based on activity to the song and weighted out by the number of views so that popularity is not a factor. Just by checking out music on this site you are contributing to the system.
