On that note, does anyone know how to alter clock speed on a Super Game Boy? It's not controlled by the same kind of crystal, is it?

I have a couple I need to pro-sound, and while I'm in there, I might as well…

You can build your own switchable half and normal clockspeed circuit pretty easily using your original crystal, a half speed crystal, some protoboard, and some clever thinking.

However, you can only flip the switch when your game boy is off, and kitsch's IC based kit takes up less space in a DMG, along with being switchable while powered.

Yeah, I'm interested in seeing the new versions of the clock modifier kits.

Variable isn't a big deal for me, but double and half I'm quite keen on. I got a couple of the half-speed crystals, but I'm just going to use those to experiment and maybe put in some DMGs for friends.

That is fucking weird. sad

I wonder if it's a hardware thing with your DMG, then.

I'm sorry you haven't had any success. What version of LSDj are you using? I tested it in 4.6.7…

<rhinorrhea> did you get it pregnant?
<rhinorrhea> is this how the gameboy micro was made?
    <wtf666> and just wanted to do something to make my dick feel anything

Thank you for correcting me!

EMS products, like a lot of mystery electronics from Hong Kong, never work the way I would expect them to. hmm

Important things to know:

  1. Which operating system? It's a bitch to get them working in OS X, and not easy on some versions of windows newer than XP.

  2. Did you install the driver? The device itself isn't natively USB, it has a chip in it that emulates a COM port. The complete software package should have had you install a funky unsigned driver for the COM port emulator/Smart Card.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure there are a ton of other threads about this. I'm not insinuating that you didn't search per se, but I think you'll be able to find information on the forum faster than I will at this point.

It's possible, LSDj just didn't like the first keyboard I made…

Yeah, I meant specifically in the headphone amp signal chain on the daughterboard.

Yeah, newer/better caps will do that… I've gotta get me a couple of these.

You can still wire it pre-pot. You install the board same as the stock board and then you hook up 2 wires for left and right to the volume pot either pre-pot or post-pot.

Duhhhhrrr, I asked a stupid question.

For some reason I was sitting here thinking that the pro-sound was carried through the four wires you desolder to reconnect to the daughter board, when I know they aren't—those are L, R, GND, and the switch for the headphone jack, right?

I've seen his clean installs of these before and know you add leads to the new line-out jack from the volume pot connections. I don't know why I thought otherwise.

PCB Mount Prosound kits version 1 and 2 have been restocked. Only 6 left of version 1, then they are obsolete for good. Price remains the same though.

Sweet!

I'd meant to ask, how is the wiring for these configured. They take the post-pot signal, right?

I just started doing all of mine pre-pot and have come to prefer it, but that's nit-picky and these are still so clean aesthetically that I wouldn't mind. I'd definitely put these in clear cases…

What you are describing sounds like an intermittent connection, but I've never seen a keyboard do that… I wonder if your keyboard is damaged somehow?

Anyway, I'm not an electronics expert, so this could be over my head; all I would know to do would be to keep checking the connections. There are only four, and two work if your keyboard is getting power…
