cool, probably impractical idea: get a small screen that has a dot matrix display (like one from the old Tamagotchi pets) and program a beating heart animation into it. Then connect it to the battery output (I know I've probably said it wrong. I'm by no means good at any of the technical stuff. anyways, just make it so that it runs on the DMG batteries). And place it in an area where you can see it clearly.

Now, each time you open your DMG (as I assume this would be too big for the MGB and maybe the CGB), it'll become a living, beating 8bit machine! how cool is that? if you have a clear Play It Loud, DMG, maybe you can position it so that you can see it even without opening it.
This will obviously have a drain on the battery, and will of course do nothing else than look cool for some people.

I actually meant for you guys to pay more attention to the device the gameboys had rather than the skit the guy played, but ok.

But please, lets just stick to answering the guy's question. We dont want another 5 page argument over handheld superiority. If the man wants a pocket, let him have his pocket.

andaruGO somewhat plays with this "improvisation style" that jazz is famous for, actually. He writes everything in live mode and plays the gameboy by itself, mostly, in all his shows. Ive seen several people do this so he's not the pioneer. However, he uses the pause function as a means to create a beat skip between tones which i find pretty good. Jazz is, though, one of the hardest things to mimic, i agree.

We have lots of jazz bands in Maryland. Some are REALLY good and i love them. But most are the kind of jazz bands that play the "not bad but not exceptional" kind of jazz, if you understand. Its not bad at all, but there must be dozens of bands that play the same kind of jazz, which gets a little boring. Nevertheless, we always get good indie and classic rock bands and hot music around if you know where to look.

Making jazz chiptunes would be fucking amazing.

Without mods, the 15-25 dollar range sounds fair to me, assuming the device is in good condition

$25 for a pocket without anything. Extra for rare ones (pink, gold, silver, etc.)

You can buy a clear pocket for the same price as the rest. I dont know if he will have the toyota editions. Those were rare even in Japan. He has the clear ones in stock, though. Im sure of that. You can also have him modify it for you for some extra money. Without mods, i think the price is pretty cheap.

I havent been to a chiptune festival yet, since i live in a strict "JAZZ AND CLASSIC ROCK" town, so i cant say that i have heard any differenceBut in my opinion, without any jokes, get whatever the fuck you want. From hearing everyone's opinion, i think every gameboy model has the potential to make good music, and saying that one particular model isworse or better than the rest is just personal preferences. I learned guitar on a shitty First Act guitar and had fun because i loved the sound i was making with the instrument. So everyones standard for their gameboys is that it should be fun to make sounds come out of them. (This is the one and only time i will talk about guitars. If you have shit to say about the first act, take it to youtube. Youll find a nice audience for that over there)

In the end, its all about bleeps and bloops, no?
