thinking about doing some leds but dunno...
Wanted to have it last a bit longer for gigs and such.Would the leds under the buttons eat up the battery?

I can make educated guesses at what this is, but how about you just tell us? Looks fun!

Clever, clever! Where will you be mounting the switch? Do you plan on hardwiring your music cartridge to the MMC as well?
I have a megamemory card as well (since childhood) and the only mod I planned for it was to add USB. If you look closely enough, the board has all of the required footprints for hooking it up. The only reason its still on the project-backburner is because of driver software....

Going to run wires and mount the switch the to Gameboy case hopefully next to the Gameboy power switch. I'm going to be mounting half of a N64 Transfer Pak to the back of the Gameboy case and run wires to the Mega Memory Card. No hard wiring of any cartridges themselves to the gameboy.
So it will be N64 Transfer Pak ---> Mega Memory Card ---> DMG-01 Rear PCB.
After seeing Boddah's post about his Frankenboy it reminded me of one of NeX's DMGs I saw a few years ago. I had a Mega Memory Card laying around and had the day off of work so I decided to get down!

Good idea, but my only advice is to go easy on e the hot glue...Its never pretty.

I'm going to hot glue the connections after I get the transfer pak wired up and everything tested. Tested the contact points and so far all of the wires are making solid connections and nothing is crossed.

Excellent. I only meant external hot glue use. Gluing the wire bases is a good idea when you can't use a releasable connector.

I refrain from using hot glue on anything outside of the case or shell.
Going to hand file the transfer pak flush to the back shell of the gameboy then use small diameter philip's head bolts, washers, lock washers and nuts on the existing mounting points of the transfer pak on the back shell. I try to make everything look like it came "factory".
