A keyboard can easily be powered off of the DMG-01 link port, you just need to make sure that +5V and GND from the keyboard connect to the corresponding points on the link port.

That said, I don't think the three ports on the DMG-07 provide power… I'd have to take my stock one apart to look, but the DMG-07 receives power from the Player 1 Game Boy, and the other three link cables in a four player setup don't carry power. I wouldn't think the  P234 ports are powered.

I'm getting confused by what you are describing here:

This, to me, sounds like you are trying to sync four Game Boys while providing them all with individual keyboard inputs.

To my knowledge, this is impossible; the link port bus can only support one function, even if you did have another port soldered on somewhere.

For example, people who add PS/2 ports to their DMGs: You can have a keyboard and a link cable plugged in at the same time, but you can only use one interface at a time.

I have never gotten a hard crash with my keyboards, but I did managed to freeze LSDj a few times by trying to run a table when I had the tempo set to 255 and the groove set to 1/1.

To be honest, I don't entirely understand what you are trying to do with the DMG-07.

A Game Boy can only handle one serial input. I don't think you'll be able to sync it externally and use a keyboard on the same bus at the same time.

Get a jeweler's screwdriver, open the cart, get an identical lithium battery at your grocery store or pharmacy, and replace the battery in your cart.

Then try to save a song again.

I actually just found something weird with this keyboard, which is that the space bar function to activate a table bank only works as a pedal function--which is to say that you have to hold the space bar down for the table to be active… it's weird.

The first keyboard I painted that LSDj doesn't like has full functionality where the space bar will switch a table on or off.

In light of this, though, I have to retract a prior statement:

This is a 99% LSDj compatible keyboard. The keyboard implementation in LSDj is admittedly buggy. Finding a keyboard that works perfectly is a stroke of luck, and since new production PS/2 keyboards aren't consistently available anymore, this is a sacrifice I can live with.

I have five DMGs, and it works with all five.

That Madeon kid can really put it down:
