Nice ... I want one

[ToneDeafCP]

Check your inbox, I want to pay you to mod my gameboy

[DaVince21]

Could you please remove the horrible screeching from the sound? It prevents me from actually listening to the sound...

[RustyNex]

@DaVince21 sorry but i don't have any money for a decent camera so this is all i got

[DaVince21]

@RustyNex I see, that's too bad. Did you know, though, that there's a way to rip the sound from the video? Then you can let loose a noise reduction filter on it (using a noise profile) so the peep sound is removed, and then you can merge it back into the video.

I guess that takes a bit too much effort for a quick and dirty video though. :P

[RustyNex]

@DaVince21 interesting, i will have to look into that and see if i can clean up these videos

[Thalesperes]

AWESOME!

[RustyNex]

@Thalesperes thanks :)

Funkytown <3 :D

[RustyNex]

@BannedMapleStory yay someone noticed!

[dacasman]

I have the same keyboard.

[RustyNex]

@dacasman its an awesome keyboard, it just does the job which is great

[dacasman]

@RustyNex yamaha makes some great inexpensive keyboards. : )

compare it to a casio in the same price range. 

[RustyNex]

@dacasman exactly, i have a roland XP10 synth too, but i use this one so much more

[donutsprinkles99]

how much did your kit cost?

[RustyNex]

@donutsprinkles99 if you want one you can send me an email for prices: ralph(dot) nex (at) gmail (dot) com

[donutsprinkles99]

@RustyNex i didn't want to buy one i was just curious how much your parts were

[RustyNex]

@donutsprinkles99 they are not so expensive its the fitting that is the difficult part

[meatloaf666999]

The high pitch sound makes the videos of yours iv tried to watch unwatchable with sound.

People with desktop speakers will probably not be bothered by the sound.

[RustyNex]

@meatloaf666999 i know, unfortunatly i cant afford a new camera otherwise i would change all the videos

[shaddowlink18]

hey man is there any tutorial for the midi port i cant find anything online already have my DMG expanded with pro sound and bitch control as well as back light

[RustyNex]

@shaddowlink18 sorry no there isn't but i sell kits which come with a basic guide

[shaddowlink18]

@RustyNex thx for the anser where can i find these kids and do you also ship to germany

[RustyNex]

@shaddowlink18 i ship world wide :)

drop me a mail Ralph (dot) nex (at) gmail (dot) com

[Dzumeister]

@shaddowlink18 Your Gameboy has bitch control? You should mod mine for me LOL

[ToastyW33N]

Holy crap Nex, how did you make that heart in the middle?

[RustyNex]

@ToastyW33N it was a pain in the ass! it is made by wiring a load of tiny SMD UV LEDs to some strip board. problem is that the strip board is too big so i had to cut each stripe in half, which is what was so painful! then i wires them in 4 parallel groups, so they could be individually controlled. it was more work than its worth. the UV LEDs were taking a huge amount of power to work, so i put a hefty resistor on them so the backlight would work properly, and now they don't really look great

[ToastyW33N]

@RustyNex

Oh come on it looks awesome :3

Even though it does sound like quite the amount of work.

You inspire me, man.

btw I sent you an email, dunno if you got it.

[RustyNex]

@ToastyW33N lol well yea it does in the video, but notice the screen is pretty much black? made the gameboy almost unusable, so i had to divert more power to the backlight, making the heart very weak, so it doesn't look so nice now. i might do a bit more work on it at some point, but its kinda obsolete now.

i am glad i inspire you! thats exactly why i do this stuff, to get people inspired, i may not have the best ideas but if they lead to good ideas via other people then all is good! email repl

[sexiemusik]

genio!!!!

[KFXG]

how much do u sell these for? and were u playing a gbc game on it?

[RustyNex]

@KFXG you can send me an email if you want to talk about prices: ralph (dot) nex (at) gmail (dot) com,

the game works on both the DMG and gameboy color 

[AwesomeOpossum4]

I am definitely interested in paying you for one of these!! ;~;

[RustyNex]

@AwesomeOpossum4 drop me a mail, ralph (dot) nex (at) gmail (dot) com, i am still making them

[cdebov]

this is a waste

[Tubofluxar]

DO WANT!! :D

[RustyNex]

@Tubofluxar they are for sale ;) not this exact one, but midi gameboys

[Tubofluxar]

where can i buy one? :d

[RustyNex]

@Tubofluxar drop me a mail, ralph (dot) nex (at) gmail (dot) com, i build them

[s0mthingsmells]

@RustyNex can i buy a normal one without mods thanks

[RustyNex]

@s0mthingsmells yea sure drop me a mail, ralph (dot) nex (at) gmail (dot) com,

[JetStorm17277]

Woah!, cool!

[phatmoose94]

could you make a tutorial for how you enabled it to use midi?

i have an old DMG-01 lying around and im ordering nanoloop pretty soon and to have it midi enabled would be great for my setup,

cheers (:

[RustyNex]

@phatmoose94 its not a simple job, but i sell a kit that could be used to midi enable a gameboy, and it comes with some basic instructions. or i can just make one?

[phatmoose94]

@RustyNex how much would it cost?

[RustyNex]

@phatmoose94 drop me a mail we can have a chat :) Ralph(dot)nex(at)gmail(dot)com

[TheAnonover9000]

THE RINGING IT WILL HAUNT MY DREAMS

[RustyNex]

@TheAnonover9000 someone donate me a new camera?

[jazzmountain]

Very nice looking machinery. Which arduinoboard did you use?

[RustyNex]

thanks, this one uses the Arduino Nano version 3.0, but recently i have been using the Pro Mini 5v which is a lot easier to fit, but makes it harder to update

[jazzmountain]

Okey! I just asked because I want to build an Arduinoboy (not inside my DMG-01) and everyone seems to be using different arduinoboards and I'm getting confused which one to choose since I have no prior experience of Arduino, but from what I can understand so far it seems like it doesn't really matter which board. So you live in i sweden? Any tips on good shops for buying the parts for Arduinoboy?

[RustyNex]

thats the same reason that put me off making them in the begining, but yea any arduino will do as long as its 5v (so not the pro mini 3.3v) and best to get the fastest one, which is most of them anyway. i would recommend the arduino Nano, from ebay, the Pro mini is a little bit more complicated, but you get that from Sparkfun, both ship to sweden, yep i live in sweden, but i don't know any shops in sweden, everything i get comes from ebay :)

[jazzmountain]

Okey thanks dude!

[Zkrudriverz]

@RustyNex jaaa du e svensk!!!!! har du kvar?

[RustyNex]

@Zkrudriverz actually i am from England, but i live in the south west of Sweden, with my Swedish girlfriend :)

[Zkrudriverz]

@RustyNex where, i live in stockholm:)

[RustyNex]

@Zkrudriverz i'm in Gothenburg on the other side

[Zkrudriverz]

nice, i was born in gothenburg

[RustyNex]

@Zkrudriverz what made you move to stockholm?

[Zkrudriverz]

@RustyNex my parents, i was like 3 years oldXD

[RustyNex]

@Zkrudriverz ah thats no fun lol

[Zkrudriverz]

@RustyNex naah, i donno rly. I like stockholm cuz i find more kinds of people here, that have their own style. Im in gothenburg quite often and i fell that theyre not as acceptable of different people. Buuut thats just me:P

[RustyNex]

@Zkrudriverz interesting, i don't know because i haven't been to stockholm, but when i came to Gothenburg it was so nice to see how accepting people were, of different people. in England, if you look different or act different then your life will become hell. but maybe its even better in stockholm, i will have to visit it some day.

[menatmachine]

Can you not make a dvd how to make from a to z with details.

[RustyNex]

well, not to be insulting but if someone doesn't know how to make it already, they shouldn't be trying. this took a lot of trial and error, a lot of hard work both in hardware and software, so making a guide will be complex. but i am more than happy to build similar things for people.

[menatmachine]

Not a qwestion about that for sure. thanks for the uploud. My mouth angles drips. haha.

[menatmachine]

Men this is great, you have to sell this stuff. go tru with this. Or you sell already. 25 stars and back

[RustyNex]

i plan to make at least one more and sell it on ebay, it will be advertised on 8bc and chipmusic, if it sells well i will make more.

[Spacemonkeyfx]

out of curiosity, how much would you charge to build one of these?

[RustyNex]

i am not sure, that is why i plan to make one first and sell it on ebay and see what people pay for it, but you can message me if you would like a custom gameboy
