whats a gravity bike?

It's a bike used for downhill racing and stuff.  There are no pedals so you just coast down a hill to gain speed. (At least that's what I found out when I googled it)

"Coasting" make it sound so pedestrian. The hills that my friends and I race are wicked awesome, and we average between 50-60 mph top speeds. It's very much like riding motorcycles, and some of us have been issued speeding tickets.

Interesting design of a bike, your feet on rear pegs?
Like the signature Nintendork on DMG smile

Yup.
There's also knee rests, but I need to determine my ride height before I install them (don't want to drag them on the ground). I'll also have dual crown forks, clip-on handlebars, and disc brakes when it's finished.

So, here's what I've been doing instead of making custom hardware:

My Latest Gravity Bike!

But don't worry; I'll be back to making more cool shit really soon.
I even slapped this together yesterday:

On a side note, I'm sad for your nonfunctioning keyboard. sad Why not just try have the cartridge load into the gameboy itself and have the electronics essentially how they would be by default in the gameboy? It seems like not having the cool toploading cartridge is a small sacrifice to pay for a functioning midi controller.

I'll figure it out.
The toploading was planned from the beginning, and it will function when I'm done.

I'll get back to work as soon as I have another glut of spares.
I'm a little busy right now, building my new Gravity Bike, but modding will continue in the near future.

I had one a few years ago.
Long story short: They're Garbage.

Yeah, I'm going with the PS4 this time around.
Hopefully Microsoft will rectify this incredibly bad decision before the console launches.

It's an additional fee... for all games you purchase.
Just to play games, you have to use Xbox Live and pay a registration fee.
So, if you're like me, and really don't give a shit about online multiplayer, Microsoft will soon be forcing you to pay a subscription fee in order to use a console they're selling you.

There's a lot of rumors and misinformation going on about the XO. You don't pay a registration fee for new games.

Yes you do. Watch the Q&A sessions.
I'm not going off of gossip, I actually watched the press event.

PS4 wont be backwards compatible with PS3 either.

The disks won't be, but you get to keep your games from PSN.

Watched the press release and Q&A for the new Xbox One... No backwards compatibility for disk or XBLA, mandatory hard drive install of new titles, requires an internet connection, and an online registration fee for every game you purchase.
Summary: You have to pay for XBL so you can pay a registration fee for a game you just paid for... that you can't sell to someone else...
Fuck you, Microsoft.
I'll be waiting in line for a PS4 this year.

Filled it with some DMG guts to make sure all of the buttons work... specifically the transplanted 'Start' and 'Select'.

Everything works like a dream.

So, I got bored and started making some custom Gameboys.
First up in my Playstation themed DMG: The PlayBoy.

Then I decided that I wanted to go a little more Sony with the 'Start' and 'Select' buttons.
