today i painted the kitsch bent case red on the inside, it didnt respont very well to the paint, but i am still happy with the results. i will change the backlight and led to a more caressing colour soon.
also on the right you can see my new project (the megaman gameboy). still waiting for buttons but you might get the idea already.

Hey Boddah!
Yeah the black one is an inside painted clear boy with clear finish. I like them too, but the real beast will be unleashed soon, i am building something special at the moment. something like my old orange dmg (see blog).

I also finished my arduinoboy #3

there is also a video on my blog

I am still waiting for my GB Link cable to test it out properly

Thanks... i changed the silicone buttons to white for a better match yesterday.. hope you still like it..

i am currently working on arduinoboy #3 in white so that it matches my dmg

for those not following my blog

i currently build 3 arduinoboys... 2 are finished

and i changed design of my two current dmg's

peace

Ok i did it... it works now... just still freezes randomly.. i will upload the Arduino Mega Version somewhere, maybe it is helpful for others ?
I recoded the PORTF PINF Commands, and also corrected the DDRC -> DDRF.
in the int assign i used A0,A1,A2.
It works now and can be used with your schematic. Finally.. i feel so relieved

Thanks Trash!!

PS: OK I DONT GET IT... NOW ITS ONLY FREEZING and will not work again, i didnt change anything from the working state before.. what the heck is going on

PS2: Now its working again, i think its some kind of weird undefinable thing, its now AM 2:20 in the morning here.. i think i will catch some sleep, at least its working now (partially) on the next build i will not use a Mega Board anymore

Here is a short video uploaded: http://chipmod.blogspot.co.at/2012/07/n … k-boy.html

Hey.. i had some luck with changing the "int pinGB etc.." port assign to 37,36,35 and reconnecting the wires.
the gameboy started with the midi signal and seemed like it was in sync (at least near).
The only strange thing is that the Status LED wont flash no more to the beat (it only stays lit)
And after one full modeswitch (approx. 6-7 button presses) the arduinoboy will crash.

I measured the pins on the GB Link Cable.
The Pin 0,1,2 all have 4,83 Volts to Ground. Is that common ?
I found out that the arduinoboy only crashes when the GB Link cable is connect, also LSDJ crashes and comes up with an error message.
You said that it should be Serial + / Serial - / GB Clock / Ground.
But how come i have 4,83 on Serial + / Serial - and GB Clock to ground ?!
somethings wrong xD

Thanks guys, but one question.. i tried to wire up the gameboy to my arduinoboy.
in the schematic it says GB Cable and you see the pins. i soldered it that way but in LSDJ it just keeps waiting and doesnt start at all.
Has the GB Cable to be wired this way going to the Arduino, or is the pinout going to the Gameboy ?
I dont understand why it doesnt work...

PS: I tried both methods. The Difference from the Cable to the Gameboy / Arduinoboy is just 2 Pins (Analog in PIN2/PIN1 switches around).
It seems that nothing works, the Arduinoboy responds to my MidiClock that i send with cubase, but the gameboy doesnt.
I wonder if it has something to do with the Analog INs ?! (i dont really get it how Analog Inputs can send the gameboy a signal)
It could also be my Arduino Mega 1280 (chinese copy) ?!
Maybe someone has a clue. Thanks guys
