You'll have a harder time soldering though xD

Re: Crystals for half clock mod (26 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
@kitsch I'm the funny guy who has written you a mail asking for that a moment ago xD
I suppose the hookup wire won't take long to arrive, so I'd rather wait until you've got them full. Also I wanted to talk with you about adding some extra wire in my order (for the switch). We can discuss that through PM, if you like.

Guess I should have read everything. You can still install a half clock switch without the kitsch kit. Just takes more space. I want that kit too but he is out so I'm doing it the old school way.
Watch out, ashimoke pointed that if you do it that way the GB will crash.

To dogtag, how many crystals you need. I think I have 1 or 2 spares.
We overlapped!
Because of what ashimoke said, what I actually need is that easy_CLK from kitsch, because I want to be able to switch crystals with the DMG turned on. But thank you very much for the offer!

Gameboy will crash most of the times you switch between 2 crystals. Normaly you have to do this when it's turned off. Kitsch had great item called easy_CLK in his store which makes it possible to switch between normal and half clock while the gameboy is running. It's labeled "coming soon" on his website.
Oh my, thanks that you said that! I'd have installed it just with a switch, to later find the problem myself... That's why I like to ask before doing anything xD
So I'll have to wait until Kitsch gets that back in stock.
Seriously, thank you for all the hassle, you've saved me from xD
And the table tuning is quite an interesting thing to have bookmarked. Thanks guys!

By changing that, would then the "Normal" notes be too low in pitch?. The idea was to install a switch so that I can dinamically change between half and normal clock.
I've found one on mouser:

But the price seems a bit high... isn't it?

That's what I was thinking myself, but wasn't sure, as I've never treated with these componentes before : S
So I definetely need a 2.097152Mhz, because I want the DMG to be "concert tuned". Now, do we have any tips on where to get those?

Hello guys!
I have decided to make a half clock mod in a DMG, and so I was wandering around different websites.
I know that the crystal should be 2.097152Mhz, but apparently in most electronics stores this is not a way of "identifying" them. I've come across this website, which has some claiming to be "2 Mhz":
http://es.farnell.com/iqd-frequency-pro … dp/9712690
http://es.farnell.com/multicomp/hc49u-2 … dp/1666945
http://es.farnell.com/raltron/a-2-000-1 … dp/1386656
Those are some examples.
So I wanted to ask you if you knew these will work, or if you know of an specific model/company/shop selling one suitable for this mod.
Also it'd be good to know a nice website for buying electronics stuff with good international shipping rates (I'm spanish) : D. I mean plain electronics, not just Arduino/robot related stuff (of which I already know several).

I never put a ground on mine, I do internal prosound using the stock jack. Should I be grounding it?
Then you're probably just using 2 wires, which are the "left" and "right". The stock jack is already grounded, so there's no need to do anything else, I suppose.

I like the quality and price of service of USPS, as both are very reasonable. I wouldn't personally like to pay for a FedEx or UPS shipment, because they're both more expensive and I'm never in a hurry to get anything. Apart from that, in my personal situation, I know there's no FedEx office in this region, so it takes longer for a FedEx package to get here, as they have to "re-send" it through a different courier.

It's both prosound. Pre and post pot. The idea of prosound is to skip the headphone amplifier. Most people do pre-pot because the old pot can sometimes be a bit crunchy and its easier to controll the volume with a mixer anyway.
All said! Thanks!
