RGB boy gets bluetooth upgrade, wireless pro sound

YouTube via RustyNex | January 14, 2011 |
Audio comes in just after :34
"I have been adding some extra features to RGB boy (like it didn't have enough already) and i have fitted a wireless bluetooth transmitter for transmitting audio. it works ok, but there are a few problems, first of all there is a ground loop problem because the transmitter is powered by the gameboy, where as before it had its own battery, and secondly there is a delay in the audio which stops it really being any good for live shows which is a shame.

anyway in the video there are things that need explaining, at the beginning the gameboy crashes a few times, this is because there is just soo much stuff in the gameboy that the CPU doesn't have enough power to boot, so i have to reset just the CPU to get it to work some times.

secondly, if you look at the bluetooth reciver (the thing on the floor) that flashes red when it connects to the gameboy and makes a small beep in the speakers so you know it is connected."

Gameboy DMG-01 with Arduinoboy Midi Interface

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction
Videos below.

"Included are:

-Gameboy DMG-01 - Has the best sound out of all the gameboy's (you can also use the included midi interface and flash cart with other models as well)

- Custom built arduinoboy midi interface built into DMG-07 four player link adapter (plugs straight into the standard ext. connector on any standard gameboy) - This allows you to plug a midi keyboard or sequencer directly into the gameboy so you can play it like a multi-timbre, multi-channel, multi-voice synth

-64MB GB-USB smart card (preloaded with the MGB software which turns the gameboy into a full midi capable musical synthesizer) - can also be flashed with other homebrew gameboy apps

Sync LSDJ with Shitwave

YouTube via RustyNex. Gameboys on Ebay. via Gameboy Genius
"this is a quick mod i made up, it involves a link cable from the LSDJ gameboy to a 74161 counter and then to a CD4024 counter that converts the master clock signal into a tempo signal, this is then fed through various pots so you can control the gain of the signal, attack, decay and to some extent the duty cycle, that is then fed into a LTC1799 which converts the signal back into a clock signal which is fed straight into the CPU of the shitwave gameboy

shitwave is made by Nitro2k01 and is a shift based drone generator,"

Midi gameboy, with built in Arduinoboy.

"this is my midi enabled gameboy which i built. it uses a very high contrast gameboy pocket screen in it which has been adapted to fit, the screen has also been bi inverted thanks to bibbin and nitro's hex inverter idea. It has a white backlight from Nonfinite, and used to be a clear gameboy with the inside painted white.

i have also removed the text from the front of the gameboy to make it look cleaner and added purple snes buttons to match the purple LEDs in the middle.

the middle has a metal bezel which has a small window inside the gameboy to show a pixel heart made out of 16 UV LEDs.
the pixel heart is divided into 4 and shows the 5 modes of the Arduinoboy, blank for LSDJ master, to all on for midi.

the mode switch is above the headphone socket which has been pro sounded.

the arduino code has been edited from the original code written by Trash80, i changed how the lights light, so that the heart looked right, as well as "pulsing" in time to the music. i also modified pin 11 to work the speaker so that you get some beeps on mode change and start up.

the midi socket is on the side which was a pain in the ass to fit, it involved cutting the mother board of the gameboy.

and lastly the usb port is on the bottom for updating the arduino.

the two gameboy carts are USB carts that i have modified to look awesome, the blue one has LSDJ on it and the white one has MGB."

Arduinoboy in a soap dispenser (gameboy midi interface)

YouTube via RustyNex — May 26, 2010 — "a customer of mine asked for a pre assembled Arduinoboy, which is not uncommon, but they requested that it be something different. so this is an Arduinoboy built into an old soap dispenser, the plunger is the mode switch.

it was very difficult to build, i had to work out how to wire it so that i could still assemble it inside the bottle, it was a bit like fitting a ship in a bottle. the LEDs for example had to be hot glued and then quickly but carefully pushed inside and pressed into place using a wooden stick. also when looking at the bottle straight on there is a green LSDJ sticker which looks like part of the label from the right angle.

it also supports both DMG and smaller gameboys without external power. it also gives all your music the smell of apples."

Super sync thingy test - (pitch sync)

YouTube via RustyNex — April 01, 2010 — this is my arduino based sync thing. it can basically sync just about anything to anything else.

it can sync anything that can make a tempo, either from midi or just from sound, or in this case the sync clock from LSDJ on my gameboy,

and then it can use that to effect something else, either by changing the speed of the internal clock, or interrupting the audio stream.

it has various controls that can control the timing and duty cycle as well as the rise and fall of the wave form.

the grey gameboy is modifying the CPU timing in the black gameboy based on the clock output from LSDJ, it controls the rise and fall in the wave form. the black gameboy has been setup just to create a drone sound.

its synced with my midi gameboy SP running LSDJ

sync thing in a gameboy (two gameboy sync)

YouTube via RustyNex — May 28, 2010 — "this is a gameboy i built for a customer, i was a be reluctant to build it as it uses my sync thing which isn't fully developed yet. but the results were better than i had expected. this video shows how the system can be synced with another gameboy and pass its effects onto that gameboy as well. this is running as master

the gameboy was very difficult to build, i was designing it as i built it because the sync thing wasn't finished yet and so i had to add bits as i built it to make it work and i was running out of room. in the end i had to loose the headphone jack and internal speaker"

Nuby reverb box for the gameboy

YouTube via RustyNex
"this is a reverb or echo generator i built for my gameboy. it is made from a nuby amplifier. the insides have been taken out and fitted with the reverb circuit as well as a 1/4" jack socket and power regulator to step down the 9v battery to a steady 5v.

the red dial controls the volume of the reverb, the blue controls the duty cycle,"
