A flash Vorbis player would consume a relatively large amount of CPU power compared to a native implementation. The reason to implement ogg/Vorbis support would be to use it with native HTML5 embedding. However, it still lacks support in both Safari and Internet Ewwwwsplorer. Hate it as you may, MP3 is still the format which reaches the greatest audience in terms of support (native where possible or otherwise Flash).

Sooo we can controll it with just midi CCs? Who do I give my money to, because I'm just waving it around in the air right now.
Order the Leaflabs Maple board (link in the original post) and wait for the source code to come out.

Just pan individual channels to the left or right. This will give you the same effect as on the NES, but with added flexibility that you can chose which channels to pan where.

Watch out! The code tells the browser to not cache the image, so it's likely that you got a different (new) image than the one you saw on screen. The only safe way to do it is to take a screenshot.

Re: D-pad left direction suddenly stops responding.. (12 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Try it in a working Gameboy (or decent emulator like BGB) and press left or B, if you want to know what it should look like. When you press B or left it makes the screen dark, and that's absolutely everything it does. Of course it wouldn't work if the B and left inputs are broken. The point of the test is to read the buttons in a way that gives the button more time to settle in case maybe, maybe that would help. And not surprisingly, it didn't. But it had to be tried, right?
The damage that I think you've gotten, from your description, comes from you inserting or removing the ribbon cable. This shorts two of the pins, where one is the LCD supply voltage and the other is the combined B and left input. (Yes, that's how it works.) This fries this input INSIDE THE CPU. Replacing the connector won't do any difference. Get used to it and see this as an opportunity to explore mGB or whatever else doesn't require B and left. Or alternatively, piece this display board together with a fully working CPU board. (And make sure the power is off this time.)
This MAY still actually be physical damage, but then you should likely be able see the damage. Example:
http://chipmusic.org/forums/post/96847/#p96847
You should see damage on the 4th connection from the left. However, again, I don't think this is your problem based on your description.

Oh and btw, could you please check the motherboard revision? Look through the hole where the battery cover latch goes in and tell me what's written there.

Re: D-pad left direction suddenly stops responding.. (12 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Copy this to a flash cartridge, run it and hold/mash/whatever B and/or left. Normally, the screen should turn dark immediately when you press left or B. If you can get it to make the screen dark with this Gameboy, the input is still working to some capacity, and I would like to do further testing.

The image of the inside doesn't help me much, btw. The damage is inside the CPU chip.
