Actually I find the pot data not to be the issue.  It is the internal clock of the Gameboy.  Syncing to it seems to be the problem.  I have flooded the midi stream to crushing levels with no real problems, it just comes down to finding a way to get a 'handshake' or some return bit from the Gameboy to keep them in time, as Ben has suggested.  I have donated to Ben some cash and I would encourage those of you who are serious about this project and would like Ben to invest more time and resources to do so.  Just PM him for his PayPal address.

mGB suffers from this too as I recall.  It is not as bad as this, but it is there.
What would be your plan of attack on how to solve this problem?

This increased the range to FE when you turn the pot, but it still tops out around 2:00 with there still being more travel room in the pot.
It is consistent across all three pots, so I don't think it is a hardware issue.  Still lots of fun now with the full range

Yes, all three pots.  When turning the physical pot, you max out the range to the value 7F before you reach the end travel of the pot.
So say the pot starts out at 7:00 on a clock.  You get to about 2:00 and you max out the value on the screen.  But very usable.

Confirmed the rom works great on a Drag-N-Derp.  You fixed whatever issue there was in saving patterns and loading patterns

Makes sense to use mGB mode.
I use the same breakdown of the first three CC's off of the first midi channel using mGB.

MIDI CC 1 - Pot 1
MIDI CC 2 - Pot 2
MIDI CC 3 - Pot 3

Easy retrofit to an existing arduinoboy especially if you used one of the later Arduino pro mini's with the extra analog pins.
Even a new build would not cost very much now that Arduino's have come down in price so much.

My personal attachment is that I too have spent considerable amount of time with an NES project.
I currently have one for sale here:

I helped Nick aka low_budget with the initial run of Polycases he used for his super8.  We spent a considerable amount of time on this project and Nick has even gone on to develop his own special case for the newest version he just built, located here:

I understand if you personally don't care for the amount of time and love we put into our custom systems.  Some of us don't see this as a money/luxury issue like you do.  Some of us are holding on to our past while others just find it down right cool, does not matter the reason.  If we want to glorify the/our past, then we will, regardless of the criticism from our contemporaries or otherwise.

I suggest you put a couple thousand hours into a project and then tell me if you don't find a little love growing for it.
