Noted. Any suggestions of coatings I SHOULD use?

I'm thinking of paying a friend of mine to paint a spare DMG case I have laying around, due to her artistic skills and my lack thereof. The plan is to give it some sort of weathered sheet metal look. I won't give all of the plan because I plan to put pics up here when its done (-:

My question is: what kind of protective coating should I use on it when its done? I feel like if I'm paying someone to do it, I certainly don't want the entire design to just scratch off. Any specific sprays you guys recommend/other methods of protection?

Jeez, that's a really nice deal. Hope everything works arite!

Totally just get a 64M from Kitsch, it works great. Granted, Drag n' derp holds much more, but it also costs 2.5x as much.

I'm not always a huge fan of modded gameboys with Kitsch's cases, but I can honestly say that these are some of the greatest gameboys I've ever seen. Wish I had $$ for the green one.

To keep things short and sweet, the gameboy I recently got has decided to occasionally stop working while playing games. Essentially, I'll just be moving around pallet town, then for a split second it looks like glitch graphics are being displayed, then the screen goes blank until I reset.

This seems like the kind of undocumented strange issue that's people usually say they fix via replacing caps. Before I actually buy them, does anyone else have any other ideas of what this could be?

Right, forgot about the vendor's license thing. By the way, I'm that one kid who spent most of the entire first day hanging around your table and gave you a screen protector for your DMG. I'm hooked now XD

Also, you should go to Maker Faire again.

Here's a great article which shows the all different systems in the gameboy line, with sound comparisons for each.

http://www.herbertweixelbaum.com/comparison.htm

As Kris said, the DMG comes out on top for sound quality. The SP is a great little console (I still have mine from my childhood), and it'll let you use LSDJ or whatever other game you want to use. Hope this helps!

Edit: when I posted, I saw your other response. The original gameboy is iconic for both gaming and the chiptune community, hence fanboyism.

My entire family is PAINFULLY musical, and I've been surrounded by music since I was -8 months old. Took a bunch of music and chorus classes in school, too.

All in all though, I find that listening to a lot of music in the genre you're working with is the best way to learn.
