According to the gameboy schematic, it's 1k.

That being said, why would you do this? Are you just trying to replace a broken volume wheel? I think someone found a stock replacement part and linked to it on this forum at one point...

Actually, I'm building a synth that incorporates multiple Gameboys in at once, so it'll be easier to manage sound adjustments with an external pot, plus one of the Gameboys I'm using has a completely destroyed volume pot.  It's mainly just to make things easier.

Thanks for the help though smile

Hey, I was wondering what kind of potentiometer I should get i.e. 500k, 10k if I were trying to make an external volume knob for the gameboy.  It's going to be wired directly to the old volume potentiometer built into the gameboy.

Could we just keep out the Synthboy, as it's pretty well out of everyone's price range?

Honestly, I'll probably end up getting the M-Audio Uno, for the sake of quality

If you have any other ideas anything, please post about it!

Here's the old thread for anyone who was wondering

Are there any interesting Gameboy mods that people have done besides the ordinary ones (Pitch bend, half-step crystal, backlight, prosound, battery indicator, etc)?

I know there's a thread for this already somewhere or another, but it got hijacked by a lot of arguing over the synthboy really high price


Just post anything you come across smile

Thanks for the help

DO NOT buy that kind of cable. It will basically only send sync. No data. They don't fully work. You need to spend closer to $30 and up unfortunately. I would recommend the M-Audio Uno:

Thanks, I'll definitely look into it smile

I'll probably end up just getting it to see, it's only six dollars.

I looked at this one earlier, but wasn't quite sure if it was used to send midi to a computer to master.

In the description it said "This USB MIDI cable easily turns your computer into a music studio and gives you the power to play songs on your keyboard or other controller"

But if you have it or see anything otherwise please make note of it smile

You mean a MIDI -> USB cable, correct? I bought mine from amazon for like $3 shipped.

I'm not really sure what the specific name for it would be, but anything I can use to send MIDI to the arduinoboy via a computer

computer -midi-> the arduinoboy

Where can I buy a cheap USB cable to send MIDI to an arduinoboy?

Thanks

If you find it could you give me a link to it?

I'm interested to see what weird or different projects people have made for chiptune, so post pictures or anything else

I may be wrong, but I think he has sold both programs with PROM carts.  both are mentioned in the comments on the page i linked.  Then you just need to pick up a link cable and an adaptor (also used for getting additional software on nanoloop carts) if using mgb.  you can get a nanoloop adaptor here: http://www.nonelectronics.com/catalog/i … cts_id=172

If you are a fan of muddy gb give music tech a shot: http://gbdev.gg8.se/files/musictools/PixelH8/
I prefer muddy for some things, but I have trouble hitting diagonals cleanly.

I've decided to go ahead with the ems carts, or the PROM carts if they can be made.  I contacted kitsch and am waiting for any answers to whether or not PROMs have the room to hold mGB
