Yes, the flat edge/short leg should be plugged into your ground rail.

You should get some feedback when you're trying to load the sketch onto your arduino about whether or not it was successful. Without seeing a picture of your breadboard, it's hard to guess what could have gone wrong for you. Make sure that all your bits are facing the right direction (your chips, leds, et all).

Well a big step was flip the IC around! That schematic works but it should be noted that "Pin 4" and "Pin 5" are not where you expect. If you're looking at the face of the jack and it's frowning (as opposed to smiling) the second pin is "Pin 4" and the forth pin is "Pin 5". I don't know if this a standard way of labeling these connectors, but it was kinda of counter-intuitive to me.

So I went back to checking the voltage across the gameboy color link cable and all but one of the wires is giving off 4.9v. Does that sound right? I unhooked each wire from a header and kept them in order. So ground is right next to the shield and I think first wire should be VCC+. Any advice would be wonderful!

I had an altoid tin laying around and decided to give this thing a shot. I think I have the whole jawn wired properly but it's not working. If someone could tell me which pins "4" and "5" should be on the midi jack, I can probably figure out what's wrong from there. Thanks!

Every couple of years is pretty good. I was just worried that it would be every couple of months. It wouldn't be worth putting the time or cash into modding a system if the screen is going to need constant tlc.

I'd be into one of these too.
