Where does ground go? Where does left and right go? (on the circuit board and on the jacks)

Did you even read this thread?

I posted pictures just a few posts back.

@nitro Thank you yours worked.

@Silph thats actually what Im doing right now. Ive gotten to the point where it says use this command

pcx2gb n d *imagenameyousaved*.pcx *tilesfilename*.c *mapfilename*.map

and Im a a loss. I have no idea what the hell it means. Ive tried running PCX2GB and it just flashes and shuts before I can do anything with it. Am I suppose to go into command prompt or something?

Jup. Or use .bat file.

But if you try to create a rom like the example on that page, it won't work.
In the thread I posted earlier there's an explanation why, and some solutions smile

It has to do with the program calling too many sprites at once, more than fit in the memory.

Screen protector with green backlight looks nice, but on the second photo im looking on the backilight, and didnt you remove protection foil from backilight panel? or it's just protection foil from screen protector?

looks like it's from the screen protector, as you can also see a fold on the right, outside the screen

Can you point me at that page? Or could we discuss you making one for me or pointing me to a good program and tutorials that youd suggest having experience?

I forgot to post the link big_smile

I don't know how to do circuitry work. Justin did the gameboy for me.

then I think Justin needs to fix it wink

sometimes it can be as simple as a bit of soldering debris shorting out the connection. it should be an easy fix.

I think what happend is that either one of the two data lines you used for the biversion is disconnected, or they short circuit with each other.

that way, they only have 2 states instead of 4. (noticed this when i was messing around with open gameboys.)

check your wiring to see if there's any shorts or loose connections. then it should be fine.

Should be save.
It's not that you are going to be electrocuted or something wink

The question is, how will the noise be? And how long before you get a cable break.

It should hold for a while, but its not really elegant.

So if i put my  prosound 1/8" on either pot or post, i have to put the RCA on the other?

Nope. you can connect 120 prosounds at post an pre pot. whatever you want. It's just advised to not use more then one at the same time.

You can use that crystal if you want. They will work and LSDj will run, but apparently the frequency is slightly too low. This means that the notes played will be slightly too low in pitch. However, there's a way around this. You can change the frequency table in LSDj to make it work correctly with essentially any crystal oscillator speed.

Explanation of the oscillator frequency used in the Gameboy: It is using frequency that is a power of 2, so the frequency is (nominally) 2^22 Hz, or 4*1024*1024 Hz. This can also be called MiHz, or MibiHertz. -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix
Why Nintendo did this, nobody knows for sure.

Hmm, does this mean you could half-clock a gameboy without changing the crystal?
Theoretically speaking.
Divide the whole frequency table by half.
Or does a normal clock prevent a gameboy to play notes lower then the lowest notes in lsdj.
Hardware restrictions and all.
