^ working on 'that other thing' right now egr!!!

should be sending you a pdf shortly wink

its not a drop-in replacement, its a bit updated from the old tech.  it'll come with various incarnations of a new front pcb. 

but in short, yes thats right!

thats a dmg screen with backlight.  or a pocket screen if you wish.

cgb screen is a little later.  wink

i love this idea. 

having the pages perforated along the spine might help in the sharing aspect of the paper, without risking tearing it oddly.

Quint looks really nice. It's really tastefully done, design-wise. Do you have problems with the gameboy crashing?


nope.  well, i can't say not at all.  its extremely stable though, you can change very quickly between the values.  run your fingers up and down the button and it doesn't tend to crash even.

if you stick to the settings as they are you'll be within the value ranges of the consoles.  if you run a color in dmg mode, it'll crash, vice versa. 

if you edit the values in the code, you can get them outside the accepted value ranges, i'll expand the comments in the code when i can grab some time but they're thorough enough to sort through it pretty easily.

another peek at something upcoming, very soon!

i altered the picture a pic, sorry for the crappy quality.  needed to hide some things...

and that NES button approach is already being worked towards!  just love it when idea overlaps happen like that...   not sure i can do that style button for a reasonable cost though, tbh.

I suppose these will be diffused by the silicon. And you can always adjust the intensity.

amtrak to dc for 50 bucks.  think this might happen...

ka-ching!  winner!

yes.  full silicon set shortly.  with some special features...

for some crazy reason i couldn't get the dpad to capture with the surface shaded, it keeps switching back to wireframe.  but whatever, its sort of cool to see the guts anyways.

damn.  the rom.  oh my. 

jeez.  this.

a project in the works, shouldn't be much longer at all:



wink

@zef -- the way the device ships (its current code), this is exactly what it can do!

@Vex -- sorry, been crazy busy, i'll reply asap!

NickTitle and I had done a project like this a while back, it used an edge connector so you could swap in and out different boards for different purposes.  i'll dig those files up and revive it.  not as expansive as that but still a breakout situation deal.
