It seems like they wanted pictures of you soldering the wires in and stuff. Still, lame on their part to not take you up on faith (like everyone else) in the first place :<

isn't overload protection a built in feature of the computer port already though (as a standard of implementing usb)?

most, if not all, computers will disable a particular usb port if the power considerations exceed tolerances,

or does yours do something different altogether?  (sorry if i've misunderstood)

being that the gameboy runs at 5V internally, and the power converter PCB will take 5V and give 5V, i think i don't understand why running it on 5V is like dead batteries?  does yours boost current beyond the standard usb protocol?

I think what he means is that most cheapo wall-plug USB adapters and car chargers don't have these protections (that is why ones with protection like Apple's OEM ones for iPhone and iPod Touch are $30 or so), so rather than leave it up to chance, this device will have that protection and noise isolation because it is the last thing in the route the power will go through before entering the Gameboy. Luftek's device is a little more "bare-bones" and seems to be intended for use with computers and other electronic devices that "host" the power instead of wall plugs and USB adapters like Burnfingers' design.

And you are right about the overload protection being built into most computers, but such protection is like I mentioned earlier built into Bunfingers' design so that it is still very safe when used with power sources other than these well-equipped computers. Not sure how/if it can pull more than 5V, but I still think it is a rather interesting deviation from Luftek's approach. Looks cool to me smile

spotted this beauty on the ASSEMbler forums

My cousin has a Gorilla bass amp. That thing could level a country. Sweet sounds here.

Basically.

I bought Boner's GameBoy Light literally half an hour ago because I wanted a GBP with an EL backlight. And now you do this? tongue looking good though...

This thread is seriously in need of champagne bottle popping.

I'd ask you to just lob an extra $6 in addition to the $30, I guess, and any difference in cost past that can just be on me. Really want to get rid of it hahaha

PM'd, so determined to get this.

UPDATE: Transferrer II is sold, Bleepbloop is being held for specific buyer, DnD is available to katsumbhong at 5:00 PM CST if first buyer does not reply to my PM by then.

Nanoloop 1.6 is still up for sale, $30. Willing to trade for unmodded DMGs.

aww, sorry the 1.6 didn't work out for you

I gave it quite a few hours and just couldn't wrap my head around it. Tried a couple of other step-sequencers like nanoloop and figured that it's the interfaces that I don't like. I'm definitely more of a tracker/pianoroll guy.

*Stands in line for the nanoloop cart*

You're literally behind egr in that line, sorry xD

Edit: it's a 1.6 cart, not 1.3, my bad

Update: carts and stuff for sale.

Literally lusting for that chrome DMG case.

One thing that you all would like to know - the noise channel is snappy, and it sounds nice.
Compare  - regular recording of my song "Rises" http://chipmusic.org/thebitman/music/rises
                - "Rises" recorded on my GB Boy Colour http://chipmusic.org/thebitman/music/ri … ur-version
You can hear it choke on pitch bends, vibrato, and legato, but you can also hear the amazingly good noise channel, the accuracy of the WAV channel, and the slight difference in intonation due to clock speeds.
