As of right now, I am testing one Gameboy (essentially) connected to a keyboard. In the future, each Gameboy will have the option of being linked to another Gameboy, OR powering it's own independent keyboard. Again, I am not doing both at the same time; it's outside the scope of LSDJ.
Right now, I am just trying to solve a crash problem. I haven't found any mods online that wire a link cable port and a female PS/2 port together, so I have no real frame of reference. All of the available tutorials involve cutting apart a powered link cable and a computer keyboard cable, which is what I'm trying to avoid by having a versatile, modular enclosure.
I'm not expecting to, I'm trying to build an all-in-one interface that can either link Gameboys OR offer keyboard connections. Not both on the same 'Boy.
The keyboard should be able to power off of the link port, right? I thought at first that the backlight + keyboard could be too much of a power draw for batteries, but I'm getting the same thing with a wall charger...
I understand it isn't a straight pass-through, which is why I am completely bypassing the DMG-07 circuitry and soldering directly where the jacks meet the board. Long term, I'd like to modify the board to support a 4-way LSDJ link OR four DMG-01s with four separate keyboards. As of right now, I'm just trying to get one keyboard to work; the 07 is just kind of a breadboard. 
Just wondering if anyone else got hard crashes with their keyboards, and if they found solutions.
Hello all!
I've been trying to get my LSDJ Keyboard to work, as I'm doing something a little unconventional... I'm mounting 4 female PS/2 jacks in a DMG-07, and wiring them where the individual link ports are mounted on the board. To test this, I wired a jack to the board right where the built-in cable connects. When I plug the cable in, my Gameboy instantly crashes. I had it wired incorrectly before, and it recognized the keyboard, but didn't receive input, and made LSDJ glitchy. Now I'm just getting a hard crash - screen goes blank, but backlight is still on... Any suggestions? I can post pictures if needed.
Thanks in advance!
