So just to be clear, that would only be fixable by replacing the PCB with the CPU on it?

You're comparing two entirely different things here.
Fact remains fact and since nothing about the Game Boys has changed between the article then and today, the fact will still hold. That it may be an insignificant difference to most people or that it can be mostly remedied through EQing, noise cancellation or other is new information that doesn't change the original article's validity in and of itself though, and if the particular thing discussed in the article is one that I personally care about your new information will likely not change my opinion and others might see it the same as I do.
I'm not saying the Weixelbaum-article is painting the whole picture, but it is a part of the picture that is important to me.

One final question. Besides DMG buttons and NES buttons, are there any other buttons that are compatible with the DMG like, say, the CGB buttons?

Wizwars, I acknowledge your experiences with the GBC and I agree that you can get the sound to be more DMG like with proper processing / EQing etc. I also undertand that the GBC will handle crowded tables at higher speeds better due to its faster/more stable processor.

However what you are not taking into account (or at least not talking about) is that the sound is not only less bassy which can be remedied through EQing but the characteristic of the waveforms is also changed. If you look at the examples and know anything about how different looking waveforms affect the spectrum and if you've listened to the DMG and GBC side by side, you will find that the GBC adds some even harmonics to the square waves, pushing their sound characteristic more towards saw (in this case inverse sawtooth). This may or may not be desired, but it's certainly a difference that no reasonable amount of processing can really undo... and a difference that at least I personally care about.

They say the newest EMS cartridges fixed the Pocket's battery eating habit.

Thanks for the compliments I'm looking forward to getting LSDJ in the mail soon. I'm starting to feel restricted by nanoloop's capabilities (esp. arrangement wise).

Pieces of Eight: I'm using a few of the JS effects, namely LOSER/stereo to widen the drums a bit, Filters/lowpass for the filter sweep in the beginning (though it is not behaving well, might find an alternative) and Filters/sweepinglowpass for the second bass line. ReaComp and ReaEQ are being used on some tracks as well as the master and I'm using Rob Papen RP-Delay and Reverberate, two VSTs I bought when they were significantly discounted on a few of the tracks, too.
