It would be really cool if kitsch made a GBP replacement case that was for pockets and it supported AA batteries - extended life for normal pockets, and it could comfortably hold and power GBPL's.

actually, in the pics at the top of this page (page 40), thebitman has the kit i gave him laying to the side (on the keyboard).

sneak peak i guess tongue

I have installed it outside the case, and it does work. Just trying to acquire the funky drillbit to use for installation (9/16" Kitsch told me). Literally did it last night. smile

But it fits the theme.

In all seriousness, I find this extremely interesting to read, seeing as this guide covers some funky stuff I haven't seen before about Gameboy programming (but no duh it should). Great find, Dan.

As the guy who rode to and from Lexington with shanebro for 7 hours that morning, I can vouch for that. His new toy is fun. big_smile

EDIT: I forgot word.

Wait for Kitsch's clearboy?

That is precisely what I am making for him, he just wanted to know who the DMG belonged to when he sent me the pic to look at. wink picked up a clear case for him at BRKfest.

It was so nice meeting/talking to you!  In a big way.  I think both our heads will be racing with some of the hardware projects we were talking about....  Well.  With all of them probably.  Very very nice meeting you!

You have me added on Facebook, we can definitely keep in touch. smile

That dmg looks so good in person the way you modded the screen.  I'll be copying you on mine pretty soon...  (the pics don't pick up nearly the amount this thing glows)

Darkness pics (IRL it glows in absolute darkness from the very top by the cartridge and power switch down to the Dpad and A/B buttons):

Be aware that I did two things to it - removing the reflective edge liner on the panel, and removing the plastic screen mounts in favor of judiciously used hotglue. Got inspired by Maize's slickness with the no-plastic-let-the-light-bleed practice on his clearboys. I used your white screen cover, but I will probably wait it out and see what my options are when I buy more components later (clear screen cover hopefully).

I forgot to mention, the frosted/matte finish diffuses the light really well.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kitsch at BRKfest, and talking his poor ears off about everything possible wink I managed to purchase the first two "officially sold" clear cases before the first act played, and I must say that these are fantastic. It is extremely easy to transfer the battery contacts to the new case, as well as the metal backing plate for the cartridge slot. All the screws line up, and there were no manufacturing errors in my units. My only word of caution is not to screw the case in too tight like you would a normal DMG, just make it snug.

All in all, a fantastic product, and I can't wait to drill some pretty holes in it, shoving doodads inside and use it as my primary DMG.

I'm the padding (playing @ 8:00 that night tongue)

Depends on how long I poop that day.

Admit it, we have all done it.

Look for a cheap AGS 101 GBA SP. Most are like $25 at Second and Charles, as well as most flea markets and retro videogame stores. Bibin has a very informative guide, and http://www.choochoobot.com/builds/gameb … d-001.html this guide has good reference pictures. Good luck!

Seriously:

Track must embody elements common in chip music, such as overused samples (BREAK TITTIE AYUSS AYUSS), common chord progressions, certain song programming or instrument presets deliberately lifted from popular LSDJ tutorials, and poor song structure. Lack of musical variation, depth, or emotion earn bonus points. Unce isn't the required style, but it's, like, you know, the only type of chip music the public may know about. However, I would love to hear a bad thrash tune. Like, purposefully awful. Sound effects that hint at common stereotypes such as "Mario at a Rave" and "Tetris remix" would deserve praise as well.

Gosh I wish I could do this. lol
