I got it going.
It seems I was using the GB cable layout instead of the CGB layout as when I use the GB connection on my cable the keyboard doesn't receive any power.

The connections (from looking at the contacts underneath the PCB) are:

I just discovered that the cable has 7 lines, one is the ground for the cable.
It should work, but it doesn't.
I'm gonna switch the cables around a little.

That's a good sign... you got power!!!!! I'd just rig up the other wires until you get the keyboard to work (assuming you have all the settings set in LSDJ to sync it up)
Also you dying batteries could be an issue... With LSDJ, a Backlight (if you have one)...and the keyboard will surly drain your battery juice... just saying.... Good luck with this btw!!!!

Thanks and I'm still working on your HTML patchbook thingy. Dreamweaver worked well, I just gotta get the spacing right.

when i made my lsdj keyboard, the lights would flash dim and it didn't work. but i had connected the cables incorrectly. i swapped them around and it lit up BRIGHT. maybe you have it connected wrong.

Oh right, thanks, I'll have a play around with it.

Nice one. I would really like it using a dmg port.
does this mod already exist?

No, it doesn't (I think), I'm going to post a full tutorial when I've got it working.
It's pretty much the same, just soldering to a different place.

I don't think these cables have a +5V line.

Well, they have four lines and I have a little power, so I think they do, but if anyone has confirmation that they do or don't then that would be very helpful.

i didn't know an lsdj keyboard would work with a gameboy advance.

Really?
I thought they could. I have an old GB and a CGB as-well, but no batteries in the house. Ironic with my username. "/

Ok, I've joined all the pins and things together with an old link input form a broken CGB.

Is this cable acceptable, coz it just won't work with the keyboard.
It's probably just a mistake on my wiring up, or this method won't work because of something technical.

When I'm done I'm going to mount the female link port in the keyboard, so no wires to snap.

Thanks.

Don't worry, in time LittleFM will contain things that are useful for 64M users as well (faster loading and saving files, as seen in the video, and maybe link cable song trading.) and even features exclusively for EMS carts. (Easier multi ROM support for LSDj+other ROMs)
Hope to see this soon, then!

Same here
