Ok,  ok,  ok... Y'all have convinced me.  Kitsch If you can get them in stock while I still have some $ left (got paid today) I will buy a GBA backlight screen and the PRom cart for Pixelh8's Music Tech as soon as I humanly can!

I have Nanoloop 1.6.3 on a cart for my DMG and Nanoloop 2.2 for my GBA (AGB-001).  I am wondering if it is possible to sync these together and if so,  which cable would I use?

Ideally,  I would also like to be able to sync the Nanoloop 2.2 to my LSDJ cart for my DMG.

I am looking at buying this cable and adapter:  Nintendo Game Boy Game Link Cable Model CGB-003 and adapter :  DMG-14

Do any of you know if this will work for my purposes?

Just fyi,  the SP I sacrificed had a leaky battery...  And I know where to find broken Gameboy Sp's for a lot cheaper than the backlight screen,  so that's what I would like to try.  But Kitsch,  I'm lookin' at you for that music tech prom cart as soon as they're back in stock!  smile  Hope I didn't offend anyone with my ignorance it's just everything I saw indicated you needed a frontlight and just swapping the screens wouldn't work...or it was too complicated... I forget...

I've backlit many DMG's before,  but the Gameboy Advance needs a front light.  I have never front lit anything before.  These places only sell backlights and it even says on one of the sites that to frontlight a GBC (GBA is relative) you need to take the frontlight from an AGS-001.  Thanks for the quick response though!

I was trying to take the frontlight out of an old Gameboy Advance Sp (AGS-001) to put in my AGB-001,  but I messed it up.  I was using these instructions to get the frontlight out of the SP:  http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to- … /?ALLSTEPS

I got the screen out but messed up when the 2 layers of the ribbon cable peeled apart at the solder pads,  rendering the light useless. >:[

I was originally using these instructions for the project: http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?t=27338

Unfortunately,  neither of these websites show very good pictures of the process... I'm not even sure if I know what the frontlight component is supposed to look like!  I'm afraid they did not do a great job of describing the process.

I'm wondering if anyone out there has any tips?  Or knows of a better tutorial for this?  I have to start over from scratch now and find another old SP to sacrifice,  unless someone knows of a cheap frontlight kit for a Gameboy Advance???

That sounds great!  However I didn't see music tech on the dropdown menu,  you would be able to put that on the cartridge for me?

I would need a cartridge... Maybe I can find a place/ someone to put it on a cart for me?

Hi everyone,  I was just wondering if anyone out there had a Music Tech cartridge (gameboy) from PixelH8 for sale???  Or maybe someone out there knows how to get a hold of one?  Thanks!

Hey,  check out this page at Mouser... I've used pots just like this on my DMG's... I fit the pot and a small switch in the front,  upper right corner of the Gameboy.  This way you can leave the speaker intact,  if you doing the traditional pitch mod.

They have all different values,  I think I saw a 500k,  just look for the column that tells you the resistance.  You are on your own for the knobs though!
