I suspect shipping to the States would be about £15 (UK). I will check and see when I go to the Post Office.
The Game Boy is small and light (without batteries) so should be pretty inexpensive to send to anywhere.

Great! I love the NES standing on those little legs.

Hoping to smooth things out here.
DSC, I think that the long and short of this is that if you have made a derivative work on top of GPL'd stuff, then you must abide by the terms of the GPL. Anything else is not my business.
'Nuff said from me.

Postage wouldn't be anything like that much!

Topic: Sold: Red DMG With Mods (15 replies, posted in Trading Post)
I have for sale a red Play It Loud! DMG Game Boy.
It is in smashing condition. It came to me in a Nintendo hard case and looks like it's been stored in there, unplayed, for all its life. The red colour is as bright as the day it was made. There are absolutely no visible scratches, and all the covers are included.
The modifications are as follows:
Green backlight
Double-inverted display (with inverted polariser and hex inverter chip)
Pro-sound mod at headphone socket for line-level output
The display colour and double-inversion give the most crisp, high-contrast display output. There are no missing pixels/lines. All mods were performed by me, and done to the highest standard.
Please click on the pictures for larger hi-res versions. Note that the camera pics don't really do the backlight justice.
The price is £70 (UK Pounds).
EDIT Postage is now free.

Sorry if you've already thought of this, but have you considered using the guts of a SNES and Super Game Boy?
That would give video out and joypad interface.

Thanks! Yeah you're right, there's very little button pushing in MIDINES, so it's ideal.

Ooh, hadn't seen that. Thanks!
Perhaps you'd let the 8bc folks know? I don't have an account there anymore.

Re: Modified NES/MIDINES With MIDI IN Socket & Front Panel Control (19 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)
Not the way I've got it. The MIDI input is wired into the external socket via a plug, and the cable trails through the NES's insides.
I've no use for the NES except for MIDINES, so it suits me fine.

Jesus, yet another reason to add to the list of "why I dont want to live in the UK again".

Haha! 
It was a silly time, the govt. tried to encourage a continental-style "cafe society" where licensed premises can be open all the time. In a land where there is an ingrained hard-drinking culture. Great.
You needn't let it put you off UK though; as I said earlier the legislation is currently being loosened. More info here about the Live Music Bill.

Things were quite a bit better then. The restrictive legislation was introduced in 2004 (thanks, Tony), and applied only to England and Wales.

Re: Modified NES/MIDINES With MIDI IN Socket & Front Panel Control (19 replies, posted in Nintendo Consoles)
I went a bit further and installed front panel controller buttons (click images for large size):
I'd originally thought about trying to mount a NES controller on the front, but I couldn't think of a tidy way of doing it, so I went for individual buttons (push to make).
I pulled an old NES pad apart and put the board into the NES unit, with the input wires connected to the push buttons, and the output directly to the NES controller input (inside the NES unit).
Luckily I found a replacement NES door on the web which didn't have any logos - tidy!
That's all for now (wonder if I can put a little screen on it? 
).

yea!!
You might be interested to learn that the UK has some pretty shocking licensing laws as far as live music goes. You could get busted for letting someone blow a kazoo in your pub.
This looks to be changing though, in no small part due to the work of Don Foster MP. There is a private members bill just gone through last Friday, which will allow performances with audiences up to 200 to be exempt from licensing. About bloody time too.

Yeah, I'll probably and up doing something like that if I don't find a MIDINes. Cheers.
