Hi!

This is something I have thought about quite a few times. I thought of Raspberry Pi as a good portable solution. If you could manage to make the thing launch directly to a menu where you could select different programs, all fitted in a nice case with proper controls, it would be amazing. MIDI IN-OUT and other connections and you have something brilliant!

Sending you a PM right now.

Hi there.

I've decided I need a modded MGB (Pocket Game Boy). Basically, as long as it has a backlight, it should be enough for me, as I'll use it just for writing.

Another possibility would be someone offering me to make it from scratch himself, and I'd pay for the modding service and console. This will only be interesting for me if that someone is European or at least someone whose shipping fees are reasonable.

In any case, please bomb me with offers / suggestions : )

There's a general-purpose fix for this:

In the tutorial it is done for the Monotribe, but I think that any machine capable of syncing with 5V pulses should accept this. You'll need two game-boys, one of them with pro-sound, and a game boy cable.

I tried it with the Korg Volcas and worked like a charm.

I dig this so much. Which synths did you use?

Mine has its plastic housing touching with the plastic of the GB.

Empty it, put something behind the screen protector acting as a light difussor and a big LED inside. Power it up with USB. Ultra cool desk light for less than 5 bucks!

i might try that... i have lots of empty cases tongue

I'm serious! If I had extra DMG cases I'd try it rightaway...

I think all they're actually saying is that they aren't going to any effort to test flash carts, so they aren't OFFICIALLY supported.

Or, more realistically, they're afraid that by "supporting" flash carts, that Nintendo will accuse them of supporting piracy.


Exactly what I think.
They basically don't want to say "Oh yeah, we love flashcarts too".

No, I don't want to modify the tone, I want to eliminate the hiss.

I've been using my Delay lately for guitar and such things. My biggest concern is the terrible hiss it introduces. If I made a hardware LPF, would it solve this? I noticed it also atenuates the external signal for some reason.
One of the things I still don't know and prevents me from trying this is: what cutoff frequency should this filter have? Like, what is the highest audible frequency we still want to listen to?

It's a Fender Strat actually.

I'll post mine for real finally…

It's not the most chiptune-centric setup ever. iMac running Logic Pro, NI KA6 audio interface, some AV40s, Gameboy with LSDj (mostly I use chipsounds these days) Guitars and about 100 different software synths on the inside.

I tried yesterday Nitro's trick to sync our DMG to a Monotribe, but in the Volca Bass. The result is pretty satisfying. It does sync well, and when you press Start on the Game Boy, the sequencer starts running too, very nice. However, there are some glitches once in a while (not while playing), like when you press start and the volca's sequencer starts a "beat" later.
Anyways, I loved to have the percussion going on LSDJ while messing about with the Volca. SO COOL.
