Was casually cruising the store like I do every day, saw this: http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/3_clk
Not sure when it will come out or what the price will be, but to me it seems like a great all-in-one for those of us who make music and play games. Half speed for low bass, slowing down games, normal speed for normal everything, and double speed for higher screeches (and faster Pokemon playing).
I might have to snatch two up whenever they come out.

FYI, apparently this all slipped under everyone's noses 8 months ago.
I get the feeling that the FPGA would scrape the video out signal and do all the heavy lifting, as far as outputs go.
i believe in you. CGB version, perhaps? Wishful thinking / low demand?
A color screen would require a more-capable CPU, and that would mean there would be a back PCB that would also need to be made. I know that there was a project called Rolf that set out to be a perfect DMG clone, and I would imagine that it would be possible to eventually make a CGB clone. However, Rolf is not a finished product, more like a plethora of schematics and technical details. Chances of seeing this come to light will be slim for a long time, I'd bed.

Oh my gawd thats over kill o_o
Not exactly. It's convenient if you can hook up to a big screen TV or home theater to show people what you are doing, and you can pump the sound out to a stereo system over the same cable.
Um, kitsch has been hinting for a long time now about such a product being made. I'm not sure if it has gone from schematics to working prototype yet, but it might still be on the drawing board. The catch is that since the screen is attached to the front PCB by so many contacts it would almost be easier to design a whole front PCB to match the screen (which is exactly what kitsch was hinting at). He once (possibly jokingly) hinted at HDMI out.
I wouldn't say we will see it soon, but I would not write off such a product.
It's apparent that some sounds used in pop music today are inspired by chip music. They are not using real chip hardware. Deal with it.
To build on this, it's easy to produce these sounds and it will sound "cool" to the main audience because it is not the dominating texture of the sound (too simple, too videogame-y, blah) and it thrives upon nostalgia. And like Br1ghtPr1mate once said, the studio guys can make amazing sounding stuff if they want to, but most of the time they take the easy way out when designing pop music instrumentation. Chippy sounds happen to be (some of) the easiest stuff to make.
Channels are set for each module. Start with the standard 20A3, and then work from there. You'll be learning the more complex chips in a snap once you feel comfortable with Fami, but they are pretty hard to master.
oh shit.
thats a really good idea. i mean, really a quite good one...
hmmm. i love your ideas man
been thinking about a screen pro for arduinoboy with extra LED holes. i wonder.....
dammit. mind is racing now! ahhhhhhhhh
Shoot me some PMs, I mentioned something like this ages ago 
conductive ink pens would be really interesting to try to add touch-points for different things. alternative buttons, or whatever.
that drawing is very cool though Vex....
Or perhaps conductive ink screencovers for LSDJ shortcuts and hotkeys? Wires could go through the LED hole.
I know most of it derivative of other Pokemon games, but the jazzy tunes in Pokemon Pinball is one of my favorite soundtracks. They are just so swingy.
Interesting fact: the Blue Field Catch'Em Mode song is a swung version of the original Japanese Pokemon theme song.
Listen to the original track:

Then the Pokemon Pinball one:

It's freaking genius, how the second song was directly derived from the original.

Yep, that's a Toshiba Libretto. The little leaf thing is a post-it with the compy's specs written on it.
I bought that and most of the blue carts and the GB transferrers in that picture from a guy on craigslist a while back. It's got a bunch of Gameboy dev stuff on it, but I have absolutely no idea how to use any of it, and haven't had the time to figure it out. I'm about to head out the door to have dinner with my girlfriend, but I'll update the thread with more details on that later tonight.
Color me all kinds of "interested." When you write me a PM, we can talk about that thing as well.
Interested in yellow DMG, would be up for trading some PIL DMG cases I have (green, black, clear) in addition to money as payment... Also interested in a GB transferrer and a blue EMS cart. And the yellow DMG link cable.

Got the Gamecube + Gameboy Player hooked up to the Nanoloop USB MIDI connector from nonfinite running to the small TV for driving mGB and LSDJ, Ableton Live running on the main screen, all balanced through my mixer. Generic MIDI keyboard is for banging out melodies and entering notes quickly. Next additions to this setup (hopefully) - Model 1 Sega Genesis and littlescales's GenMDM adapter and a 8-channel mixer.
Working on getting the SGB modded with a link port so I can use a second Nanoloop USB MIDI connector.
Old post but I was wondering: Is there a specific mod for the SGB that you are talking about? I've dreamed of this setup myself.
Thanks

I still haven't gotten around to doing the mod yet.
It's not cool to distribute LSDJ to other people (the full version) without Johan Kotlinski's (the creator) explicit consent...
I might be able to make the drive every now and then...
