i showed zanzan that but it costs money

let's do a kickstarter

What for? To buy the software? Or re-invent it?

There's a demo of it. And buying software is good. Perhaps the OP should be amended.

I want to hear four of these in a good sound system, with a very patient person handling the frequencies.

Hmmm. Yeah. I'm thinking a series of pitch-modded and slightly detuned DMGs for phasing and cancellation and all sorts of stereo freakiness.

And do it in a cathedral.

Would love to have MIDI control on this - preferably with ArduinoBoy. X-Y control or some other "analog" style control would be so cool.

Thanks nitro2k01. It's great fun!

Very nice indeed! Thanks.

Acorn Looks like cute computer! With very well designed enclosure and keyboard.

They were very cute! The keyboard was great, and it had a really nice BASIC (BBC BASIC).

As they were essentially cut down BBC Micros, there were several expansion boxes you could get from Acorn and 3rd parties. They tended to make your computer look really overdone, in a way that I've always found rather pleasing!

Acorn Electron (cut down BBC Micro).

I loved this computer, and this was my introduction to computing. They were sneered at by the Spectrum users in the playground, but were a good deal more versatile.

Later on I got a BBC Micro. Now that was fun. I dread to think how many hours I spent on Elite. Then I discovered this:

That started me off on electronic and computer-based music, aged 10 in 1984. I've never looked back, have made a career out of music, and am more thankful than I can ever express that I found all this stuff.

Also, stage props are stupid. I'll at least give Shawn credit, he was doing that shit from 2003-2007, maybe even earlier.

MY PERAGGATIVE

Yeeeaahh! Punk's not dead!!

Just remember people, to always be original. Just like your mates are.

Heheh! It is indeed!

No thanks, SBSM.

For sale here is a rather lovely yellow "Play It Loud!" DMG Game Boy with a line level output (prosound) mod, backlit screen, and a bi-verted (double inverted) display.

The backlight is blue/green, giving a very clear, legible GB display that doesn't tire the eye. The screen inversion is realised with an inverted polariser and 74HC04 hex inverter. The line-level output is through the GB's headphone socket.

It's in excellent shape, with no visible scratches or marks. The screen protector is brand new. Please note that it's very hard to take a good photo which does justice to a backlit GB screen - this one's display is sharp and clear.

Price including UK Special Delivery: £65. EDIT: Now on eBay.

See my feedback here. Please click on the pics for larger images.

>do i really need to use the debian wheezy? raspbian won't work?
I don't know how well raspbian will work, I only tried sqeeze and wheezy. Wheezy is the one that worked well.

Debians Wheezy and Squeeze are both flavours of Raspbian.

I love my Rasperry Pi. Anyone who wonders why one should hack around with a RasPi rather than use a PC has never truly got down and dirty with a computer.

I hope you do!

but eventually there will be no gameboys left. i know there are millions of them out there at the moment but i just don't like the human attitude that we should simply consume things and worry about running out later. as soon as the pocket backlight mod was published i noticed more and more gameboy pockets coming up on ebay with broken screens, people thought it would be as easy as doing a DMG.

This is why i wanted to design a direct replacement board that didn't need DMG or Pocket parts to work. it would be great to be able to produce lots of parts for the DMG without having to cannibalize old ones that way people could always put their DMGs back the way they were.

You could say that it's a case of humans consuming things willy-nilly, but also look at it as breathing new life into stuff so it gets used again. Nintendo made 120 million Game Boys, so I don't think there are enough potential chip musicians or retro gaming fans to cause any fear of shortage. I won't be concerned about us ever running out, and FWIW I'm a greenie who doesn't like to waste things ever.

And don't forget that manufacturing new parts has its own cost (I'm not talking money here).

Your work looks great! Nice one.

Sold. Thanks for looking.
