Re: Gameboy dev kit? (106 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

Yeah it's pretty neat, surprisingly great quality when plugging in game systems.

Btw I asked the guy selling the dev kit some questions,
I asked what model Gameboy it was inside, and if it was an Nintendo officially licensed product. Also asked if you could plug in a different controller from the one he's providing.

His response,
"It only plays licensed games so it is licensed hardware. Based on the games it plays, it is a plain old Gameboy. It uses a SNES controller, that plugs into a 25 pin port on the front (Possibly for other things then just a controller?)"

BS. Not licensed hardware. Obviously not a DMG, because you can see it playing a GBA game. And no "generic SNES controller".

How much would a GBA to television adapter actually sell for? Just curious.

I actually just picked up a MIB Pelican GBA TV Tuner/Monitor from a local retro game store. It allows A/V and RF input, and A/V out. Only cost me $15. It works with GBA and SP.

A ghetto-rigged GBA clone in a massive metal box over a "Crummy DMG"? No thanks.

Has anyone sent this guy questions about it on eBay?

Re: are there good wireless nes controllers? (2 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)

I've heard the same about the Akklaim controllers, but I asked a big NES buff the same question and he recommended using the NES Satellite. You can get them dirt cheap, and you just plug in your normal NES pad (up to 4 at once) and have a wireless transmitter. I've heard some pretty nasty reviews of the Retrobit controllers, but I'm actually considering getting those for my SNES.

That was the greatest chip-demonstration video I've ever seen. I haven't had a good laugh like that in a while haha

Re: SGB with internal ArduinoBoy (24 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

Not a problem man, always happy to help when I can. The parts I've been using work really well for internal AB's in DMG's. I've got kits that I'm putting together at the moment that are ideal for internal installation and will be available on my site next week, if you're interested. I don't think I ever saw the taco midi. I do recall NeX saying something about midi SGB's a long time ago, but never saw any finished products.

As for replacing the link port, audio jacks wouldn't work because there needs to be 5 pins and audio only has 3. I'm not sure what the jacks on the TI Calculators look like, I haven't seen one of those since I was in high school haha. But I think the best thing would be a Mini-USB jack, they have 5 pins, but regular USB only has 4.

I really don't think we can do anything unless we have some solid proof that he's lying. Sadly the listing looks vague enough to pass.

Re: Gameboy dev kit? (106 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

Maybe, I noticed he took off that pic showing the game list (which nitro suggested looked like pre loaded game list on a clone), and now is claiming,
"It is a Nintendo Made Gameboy, that plays Nintendo licensed games. It will also play games that you developed as this is what the unit was designed for.
Sorry about being so serious about what it won't do. eBay thinks its some sort mod chip. To be honest I don't think they even exist for the Gameboy system so there is no way it should be removed."

So I guess now he's trying to say it contains original licensed Gameboy hardware, which is a load of bullshit. And he's trying to prevent the potential buyer from finding that out by saying it shouldn't be removed.

Topic: Digital Recording Equipment Picking Up Radio Stations? (8 replies, posted in Other Hardware)

Hey everyone, I was wondering if you guys could help me out with some difficulties I'm having with digital recording equipment. I'm using a Zoom ZH4N Handy Portable Digital Recorder and an Avid Mbox Mini w/ Pro Tools LE. I recorded some stuff to the Zoom field recorder a few months ago and just got around to transferring the files to my computer. When I listened to them after transferring to my computer, I noticed there were very faint voices talking in the background, and I thought that maybe I hadn't used a direct input when recording and perhaps the recorder picked up noise from the tv or something. But then I plugged in my Mbox and opened up Protools to record some stuff from my bass guitar and I kept getting noise in the background, and I thought it was just a bad connection to my bass, but when I turned the gain and volume up all the way, I noticed it wasn't static, but a radio station. I could literally listen to the radio station through my Mbox's monitor headphone jack, and if I placed my hand on top of the Mbox, the radio station signal would increase and get louder. Anyone know what could cause this? I've never noticed this kinda thing before and I talked to a friend that's majoring in Audio Production and he hasn't ever heard of that problem. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Re: SGB with internal ArduinoBoy (24 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

No problem, I got them from www.we-supply.com, the plastic casing can slide off when a pin is pushed down, and then there's a metal housing that unclips giving access to the midi pins.

Re: SGB with internal ArduinoBoy (24 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

There's 2 connections on each midi jack aside from ground, so I just used the left and right wires from the 1/8" cables for them.
Here's a better pic of the cables
