you need to get a program called littlesound dj (lsdj) which costs two us dollars and can be got from littlesounddj.com

you then need a rewriteable gameboy cartridge ("flash cart", "cart") to put lsdj on

there's a lot to choose from actually which sit in various places on the cheap<-->good spectrum, search this forum for stuff like "everdrive GB" or "bennvenn" or "drag n derp" or "EMS cart" to read about a few different ones. or post your budget and what operating system you use and maybe someone else (not me) can tell you what'd be best for your needs

if you ask the person you buy the cart from to put LSDJ on there and show them your license they will probably do it for you otherwise you can put it on there by connecting the cart to your computer

then you stick it into the gameboy that isn't broken (btw you can get jacks that are on a cable thing so you could have the 1/4 jack hanging out of the gameboy if that would help you save your broken one) and make songs with it

not sure what the best lsdj tutorial is these days but there seems to be so many, written ones, video ones on youtube, forum posts here, etc, and also lsdj has got a really comprehensive tutorial

sorry this isn't mentorship i only just realised you are looking for someone local. well good luck anyway ** thumps up

if you have a tumblr account it will just go to your homepage

that's wicked, good job kris

i think that's just a joke about an old interview someone did where they accidentally said lsdj carts were illegal

the advantage of the drag n derp one (as i understand it) is that it will work with basically any computer because it works as a normal usb device

the other ones need drivers installed on your computer (which sometimes means you need certain versions of windows, i think) and some of them need a hardware thing to write them (rather than just plugging into your computer). on top of that some of the old hardware things connect with a printer port rather than USB so you need an old computer with a printer port

with the drag n derp one you don't have to worry about any of that, so you are paying for convenience, and then the cheaper they get the less convenience you have, i suppose

take it all with a pinch of salt, because i'm not an lsdj user, but i think that is basically the difference between the different cartridges

hope this helps welcome to cmo

i have a vague recollection that some of the nanoloop carts had sound generation on the cartridge, which was only possible because they were custom designed carts, rather than roms

in any case i'm pretty sure that some versions of nanoloop could play two notes at once on the wav channel. i don't think lsdj can do that

prrobably better waiting for someone who knows what they are talking about

that was a good post, bit shifter seems like a good person

well i set some goals for 2015 about a month back... no music stuff, just boring things like:

- don't give up on the goals
- make progress with my mental health
- do a rock climb graded 7c
- get a job (already done this one )

i didn't have any goals for last year but for those of you who did make resolutions - what were those and how well did you do? arguably a more interesting question
