GetLoFi Modified Game Boy At Experimental Sound Studio

The Nintendo Game Boy is now good for more than just stealth gaming at your work-desk when you're supposed to be writing video copy about circuit bent portable gaming consoles. Alex from GetLoFi.com shows us a Game Boy that he bent using a 555 Timer Circuit so that he'd be able to perform pitch bends. On the plus side, every new game he picks up is a different musical tool to work with.

Time to break out that copy of Nobunaga's Ambition. Daimyo Power Struggles, here I come!

@DrummingMonkey13

How could it kill it?

[HardRemixx]

LOL that's pretty sick dude

@DrummingMonkey13 , I think it would kill the amp first. From my understanding synth stuff should be ran through a bass amp, although i don't think it matters on low volumes as he is doing.

wow this is awesome!

Doesnt it kill the Gameboy being plugged into a guitar amp?

[mopasaurus]

[fattandthecheese]

where can i get the 555 timer chip?

[wielderofdrumstix]

the gameboy camera... my favorite musical tool... the fact it has so many tracks, from the start screen to the screen where you choose the music for "your slideshow" AND the DJ part, i'd say that this is a great game to use while circuit bent!

How did you get the 555 stable enough not to crash the GB?
