I wanted to make a modular Gameboy so that i could have the bare minimum of a Gameboy and then add bits when I needed them. the idea is that i can have just the cartridge and a power supply, networked to everything else and use it as an LSDj slave, this one was made from a cut up Gameboy Pocket, it is also pitch bent. it will in time have RCA prosound and possibly midi, as there is so much space left.
My two modular Gameboys together:
Here is the VIDEO!
I have been plotting out the pins of the Gameboy Pocket CPU, I wanted to prove that I had fully worked them all out by building a Gameboy from scratch.
I started with the Gameboy Pocket CPU and wired it by hand to a Super Gameboy cartridge socket, and then added the buffer as well.
This is the bare minimum of a gameboy, but it has a pro sound socket and it is networked, meaning it is great as a modular gameboy.
Here is the VIDEOO!O!!!O!
i have been working more on my video out mod for the gameboy, and after a long battle with signal interferance i finally got it down to an acceptable level.
the end result was kinda small, not small enough to fit in a gameboy, but easily small enough to fit in an old VHS casette tape. which i thought would be kinda ironic, gameboy video out in a video.
the original design also had a screen in the casette but it was causing too much interference so it had to go.
it can be powered from a 5-12v power supply or run straight off the gameboy itself. it uses the super gameboy chip as well.
here is the VIDEOS OF THE VIDEO OUT VIDEO THING!
This is my first real project with the pocket gameboy. i wanted to see what i could fit in it and there is actually a large amount of space.
in this pocket there is a biverted backlit screen with purple backlight, also a NiCad rechargable battery and pre pot prosound.
i fitted a 25way break out socket on the bottom that fits in with the standard of all my other gameboys. this means i can use my Nes controller on it, or take out the screen data etc. it shows also that the pocket gameboy works just like the DMG and so its possible to mix and match parts easily.

I have evolved my shitwave sync cable to something that will sync just about anything with anything else.
Here are a few ideas of what it will be able to do when its finished:
This is the pitch sync, one gameboy controls the pitch of another

Here is my second midi gameboy, it is more advanced than the last one as it supports midi out as well.
it has a yellow backlight that is biverted, and internal pro sound.
