Considering Renoise is a successor of NoiseTrekker, there shouldn't be much doubt how to pronounce it...
Well I'll be damned. 
Guess that debate I had regarding it a few years ago was a waste of time. Oh well.
Is Renoise pronounced rə.nwaz or ri:.noiz?
Pretty sure its rə.nwaz... It doesn't have an audible "noise" word that's for sure... I've been burned before.
Aaaaactually... I'm not even sure it's supposed to have an audible 's' in there???
OK well. Waiting's for suckers.
I decided to make the mentioned "fix" before my stuff arrived, which should be next week.
And I took a total of two pics, one during and one after, showing the result.
During... Old film going out...
After, showing the result... Or not. The pic is really, really shitty. My phone does this weird noise dither thing with dark photos.
Conclusion: It works! 
Considerations for future: Having some form of adhesive for the loose sheet helps a lot.
Thanks again to everyone who helped out!
Now- I'm going to bed. I'm tired outta my skull.
EDIT:
So yeah. I noted that some form of adhesive helps to keep the loose sheet in place. However, take it from me: Not any type of adhesive works.
And this is the story of how I busted that particular sheet of polarizing film. Dumb ass mistake. It's fine though- I was able to save it using the sheet I recovered from the backlight itself, just turned to produce the normal polarization.
I think a PC tracker would be a better choice. Emulators (the emulator + LSDJ idea) do not run as consistently as a real Game Boy and are easily affected by other stuff that's going on with the CPU resulting in music fluctuation, ever so slight, but clearly noticeable.
I realize of course that maybe this isn't a real issue because of how it is...
Knuckle Joe... :'(
Fair enough, Kitsch.
I'm sure it'll work out someway, and if it doesn't it doesn't. No real harm done.
Provided this thread still exists later I can post some pics of the whole ordeal along with a conclusion whether it worked or not.
Like I said, it's just a fraction of a mm, so I'm maybe just nitpicking. With that said, it's only a matter of making two small cuts to have it sit properly.
But no, they're certainly not the same thickness. They're about .6mm difference in size. It doesn't sound like much, but it is very significant when dealing with these tolerances.
*blush* yeah, my bad. My untrained eye said they are "about as thick". I'm new to this after all.
But my main point is still that since I have to remove the polarizing film that is glued to the LED-panel and replace it with the loose sheet, the thickness overall shouldn't change that much. Aren't all polarizing film sheets approximately as thick?
Another difference that springs to mind is that the Kitsch backlight is shaped sort of like a trapezoid at the bottom whilst the nonfinite backlight is a rectangle. So maybe this means I have to trim the film to match that one to make it less mismatched.
Alright. Fair enough.
I see your point now.
But if I recall correctly both backlights are about as thick. There can't be a lot of difference, and even if there is a big enough difference so the polarizing film moves or doesn't sit well I'll have to somehow compensate for that.
And failing that, just replace the backlight with another one. But that's the end game solution. I won't go down without a good swing.
Maybe I'm just nitpicking here, but mixing parts actually isn't the best idea. Nonfinite's backlights sit above the LCD's plastic housing, while all other backlights sit below it. So if you use the polarized film from his kit with a thinner backlight, the LCD won't be sitting flush. I'm talking a fraction of a mm here, so maybe it doesn't matter. But I'd still cut a little notch in the corner or cut one side entirely to make it fit better.
Well the kit from Kitsch-Bent sits above the plastic housing as well. If we're talking about the same thing, that is.
Anyway, I won't know for sure until maybe next week when my stuff arrives and I can test this thing out.
OK. Good to know.
Thank you so much for everything (including the backlight, it's really nice )!
the square pieces are rotatable, the 2inch pieces from nonelectronics would work perfect for this (guessing this is your source by your calling them this)
Well. The backlight is actually yours, Kitsch. ^^;
But the polarizing film will be a left-over from a LED panel that I'm planning on putting on the shelf as soon as my new backlight arrives and that film is from one of nonfinite's kits.
Oh.
Well then I might give that a shot the next time I crack open my DMG. Yeah I could try using the film that already sits there, but the way it's shaped I'm a little skeptical at this point whether it will sufficiently cover the whole panel... If not I will have a 2x2 inch polarizing sheet soon enough and could try that.
Thanks!
Right. Looks like I'm gonna need to order in some new stuff at some point either way if I want to rectify this. *bites knuckle*
Thanks guys!
@Pale: Well. The film is built in sort of, or at least it came with it attached... No doubt by some adhesive layer. But I sort of thought that one could tear that film off and then just have a loose sheet on top of that instead? Flipped whichever direction. What does a biversion mod do?
@spOOked: The panel is not shaped like a square though.
Hello people.
First- if this is not the right place for this question then I'm sorry for being a nuisance.
So uhm. Yeah... I recently installed a few backlights for my DMGs and there are a few things that I've thought about.
One of them I bought is actually inverted (this is SOLELY my own fault, I didn't read carefully enough), even though I didn't mean for that to happen. Is it viable to change the polarizing film manually on the backlight? That shouldn't damage the LED panel in any way right?
I feel it should be pretty simple but I wanna ask around before I commit to anything that could potentially bust the panel.
I used to have a favorite back in my earlier days of chiptune-lovin'.. a guy who went by the name of "Knuckle Joe"... He did a lot of really kick-ass chiptunes. I think he quit though- resigned the whole chiptune business, that's the last time I ever heard of him.
Other than that, Yeah. I do love myself some Wiklund, Chipzel, Algar, Nordloef and a bunch more. Can't really name them all right now.
Favorite song?... I think one song that I'll never tire of is Sabrepulse's song "Lightspeed Disco".
