I was looking to use either internal or the dongle for a while, but when I was ready to go for it I started looking deeper.  As I understand it there are some things that will run fine, some that run kinda half-assed or slow, and other things that don't work at all.  Can you confirm or deny that?  Shenmue is what I was in the middle of playing when I decided to give my DC a break, so if that works I might consider it an option again.

I read about someone trying to reverse engineer how the optical drive works with everything and make a module called GDEMU.  I think the goal is 100% compatibility when drives die.  When I last checked it was still not completed, but it looks like there may be some boards out there in the world now.  If you find the other options lacking at any point you might want to look into it.  The link is below, and earlier discussions are available on livejournal.  I wish I had kept my eye on this project.

Now you just need to steal the Game Boy they have on display at the Nintendo World Store.
"The sounds of destruction."

Was this a Nanoloop One cart, or an older version?

Also, sucks about the fire.

It looks very similar to things I have seen at flea markets here.  I wanted to pick one up to mess around with, but even at the low price they were asking it seemed too much.

The packaging was very different on the ones I saw, and the design might have been a little different.  I think the person had a couple variations of them, but the same basic concept for swapping the guts.  If no one else has more info I might try to stop by the flea market I saw them at tomorrow to see if I can find out more for you, and maybe grab some pics.

Who is named as the manufacturer on the box or instruction sheet?

I too like the color combo.
Is the speaker grille backlit or painted?

I am just guessing here, but I think if someone is going to the trouble of making new LCDs for the DMG they would take into consideration questions 1-3 all at once and go for the best contrast they can get , maybe including backlights, but probably making it easier to backlight than the originals.

Will it be more durable than the Nintendo ones?  I guess this doesn't matter if the stuff above is true.

Thanks for the heads up.  This was one of my plans.  When I read a review that mentioned issues with LSDJ saving I figured the reviewer (not someone from here afaik) was using the demo rom.  I guess I will be keeping my dedicated LSDJ EMS cart.

I was going to use the everdrive to have the full game library, as well as all other software, in one place, and with me at all times.  I already have to carry my Nanoloop cart if I might use it while out...looks like even with the everdrive I will be carrying a minimum of 3 carts.

Let me know what model you are using, or the specs, and I will try to help you out.  If it is really cheap I might pick the same one up and see what I can do...

Then again I don't have much free time right now, and have many projects of my own I haven't completed.

As a bit of encouragement, I play around with things that are kinda weak, relatively speaking, and have gotten things I never would have expected to work.  I have also been surprised by the things people have been able to do.  This has taught me that it isn't the power that you have, but how you use it.  People here are using relatively ancient and limited hardware to make music, while people with much more capable devices are using them to run Windows, look at cat pictures, and play fart sounds.
