I didn't read your post, but wanted to share this.
There is a full article on an atariST setup in the latest issue of "sound on sound" magazine.

Me too

The internal clipping diodes are only present for worst case scenarios and some vintage synths with a sync output may run on bipolar voltages up to +/- 15v! Anyone using this method of sync should research their hardware before doing so I think.

The problem is that the wires required actually go under the LCD itself. Replacing the ribbon is not really plausible and doing it with individual wires would be crazy hard.

I suggest just keeping it as is and waiting for a replacement option. The CPU is most valuable thing inside. Keep it for later.

Hand wiring smt ICs is only for the self-loathing. Trust me, I've done dozens.
Not only will you invest days and weeks into learning about rom/ram, memory mapping and bank switching but you'll need to buy rom chips, and an eprom programmer.

Rom chips with the capacity you need for a typical pokemon hack is going to be difficult to find and expensive becusse they are old and out of production. Newer chips with the capacity you'll want are going to be too small to wire pin for pin by hand.  It's not worth it, at least not for gameboy.

Better, yes. Still would require hand trimming but at that price, I cannot complain.

...

I actually found some others which will require no cutting.

Cheaper too. I should check ebay more often I suppose.  Thanks.

That would be sweet. The emulator could be modified for visual filters like softer colors or textures.
