CUSTOM KEYBOARD CAPS FOR LSDJ

I will definitely get on that!

Kitsch, that's a great idea! I found a couple of sites that make custom keys and silicone key covers, once I get some designs ready I'll send them in and get some prototypes smile

To be honest, you should move away from GB items.  There are already quite a few vendors specializing in that.

I agree, I want to branch more with my products, but I'll always have some GB products like the ArduinoBoy kits, and LSDJ keyboards. I'll also put modded GB's every once in a while. Maybe prosound kits, but I'm thinking that's too common now. I really don't want to compete with other sites like Kitsch-Bent, ASM, and Thursday Customs by selling backlights, custom buttons, variable clock, etc. I plan to include more NES and C64 products, as well as original electronic instruments.

Hey everyone, I'm very excited to announce that I will have a site up very soon! I will mainly use it to sell products, but I will also have a build blog for my projects. I plan to offer a wide range of products, such as DIY kits, modded GB's, ArduinoBoy's, modded consoles, and my one-of-a-kind creations. I'd also like to feature music on the site from my customers and friends in the chiptune community.
When the site initially launches, I plan to have DIY ArduinoBoy kits (with 3 different package options), a few pre-built ArduinoBoys, and Prosound kits. I'm currently in the process of restocking my entire inventory, so it may be a while before I can offer the larger products like modded GB's.
I'd like to ask if anyone has suggestions for potential products on the site? I want to offer items that are not commonly found on other sites that could benefit chiptune musicians, modders, and old school gamers.


CC, suggestions, and feedback are all highly appreciated!

Can't wait to mod one of those clones!

Ah, that makes sense. Downloading VMware right now smile
Thanks!

Not sure if this is total noob question, but how do I completely format an EMS 64m USB cart on Mac? I need it to go back to factory settings if possible. I know how to backup/restore roms and .sav files using this method, http://chainsaw.musho.org/stuff/ems-on-mac/ . The cart will not load LSDJ (any version) w/ any .sav file when running through a Mege Memory Card GB accessory. The GB will show the normal Nintendo logo boot screen, but after that goes to a mostly blank screen with just a tiny eighth music note and an arrow. I've flashed multiple version of LSDJ as well as different .sav files. The cart will load mGB without any problems, and it loaded Pokemon Red and Blue without trouble. I haven't had trouble booting any other cartridges with the MMC. Any suggestions?

Yes, I will have AB kits as one of the first items for sale on my site. The new kits on the site will have different options, such as including a link cable, battery pack, ext. power jack, midi thru, etc. I will also have pre-built AB's for sale. I'll be sure to let everyone know when the site is up smile

I'd use hobby epoxy. Much stronger than hot glue/super glue.

Haha I made the same mistake, I actually have a ton of dmg-04 cables but I did find a seller on amazon with the 07 cables.
Basspuddle, no problem man. I just purchased a site domain/hosting and ill have my store set up in a couple of weeks, and I'll have more DIY kits (that include link cables) for sale.

I actually found a place where I can buy the dmg-04 cables, but I won't have them for a while.
At the moment, I have one kit left that I have mostly put together that I was planning to finish tomorrow. If you're interested hit me up.

Haha I just started playing yellow again a few weeks ago too. Only GB game I've played in years...
Btw nice backlight job Jackary!

I agree with basspuddle, put a resistor on the backlight and see if it works.

Whoa, I've never seen some of those. Apeshit could you post some pics of your rare DMG's? Wasn't it you that obtained the "professionally modified" DMG that hooked up to a monitor?

I always put epoxy around the pins for added support, and it could also mount that jack. I've experimented with a bunch of different ps/2 jacks and the ones that ApeShit posted have worked the best for me. Another way you could reinforce the pins is to use heat shrink tubing.

Looks like a good show, I'll be there.

Yeah that did the trick! I did that shortly before recording the video smile
