Re: DMG clock noise? (6 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Yeah this is normal of any clock kit. If you turn the unit on with no cartridge you can hear the pitch change as you adjust the knob.
How's the kit working for you otherwise?

Re: Stubborn DMG Lines (7 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
You really want to use a dab of solder to even the heat on the ribbon cable. I've found this to help a lot. You will want to put something over the LCD though so nothing spatters and melts the polarizer on the front.
But sometimes the glue is just so dried up it won't remelt and reattach and if you heat it up for too long you will actually bake the glue and then there's nothing you can do.

Something like that. Yes.
You basically need to move EVERY component that needs plugging in or switching in some way.

That will just make you think your music is good when it's actually not.

What is your custom headphone out board there?
Literally nothing special. Just a smaller PCB with modern SMT parts to save space. As you can see the main purpose is to get more room on the left for a pot. But considering its all new parts(capacitors last about 15 years) it will sound better and cleaner.

Do you play any manual instruments? I'll write a bunch of stuff on guitar or bass. Or write a full drum beat. Some of my songs started with just a drum beat beginning to end then filled out the blanks. Find your strongest part(drums, lead, rhythm) and write around that. Either a good beat or a good chord progression.

Re: Dead Topic (58 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)
Yeah you're probably over thinking it. Just try to feel what you're writing. Really get into it and try to figure out what it could be missing. Don't let other music depress you because it may be really good. It should inspire you to be better! Sometimes I'll hear a really good song(chip or not) and want to write a song right away.

Re: thursdaycustoms TUTORIALS (21 replies, posted in Tutorials, Mods & How-To's)
Right. I keep them in for all commissions though. You can seriously shrink that thing so much that you can fit 1/4" jack without even moving the board to the other side. I've been seriously wanting to redesign it as make it super small if possible like I did with the audio filter board:
Either that or try using a pocket regulator. I believe NeX may have done this. Not sure.

Re: thursdaycustoms TUTORIALS (21 replies, posted in Tutorials, Mods & How-To's)
You can easily trim about an inch off the regulator board. I put them in the top right of the back case now though. Thought I had a picture but I don't.
It's also possible that I moved it to the other side. Can't remember.

Re: thursdaycustoms TUTORIALS (21 replies, posted in Tutorials, Mods & How-To's)
Personally I use something like this:
I strip the cable down to just the metal hub and glue it inside the DMG shell like this:
Though I've used the ones that mount to the side with 2 screws in the past I think It's a really inconvenient place to put them:
I've also seen you the ones that screw on with a nut but it would have the same placement issues I believe.
This will likely be the next tutorial I do!

Re: Post your Gig/Home cartridges (41 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Yeah it's a little time consuming. The newest revision that doesn't have the big capacitors makes it easier though.
I just desolder the battery socket and put in a standard Game Boy cartridge battery and then grind a little plastic around the USB port. You could also desolder the mini USB port and install a micro USB port. I think I've heard of people doing this before.
I'm kind of obsessed with aesthetics with my equipment so the stock cases had to go. So much so that all my Game Boys match:
