backlit Viper progauge

So in my quest to constantly tinker, I have taken what I know from messing with gameboys and applied it to my radio controlled hobby. This programmer is used to change setting in the electronic speed control. The quick dirty for people who are not familiar with the terminology, ESC stands for electronic speed control. It is the "box" that takes data from your controllers receiver and takes power from the battery and runs the motor.

Update cart

been dragging my feet posting this for like months or something. browsing youtube I saw a video that inspired me to post my cart. Basically the only difference is I added more ram, then had to re-wire the traces using wire to get the memory bank controller to "like" the amount I was using. now I can actually have lsdj v 2.6 on it and save. has some compatibility with fatass as well. The gb IR remote rom now holds the memory of signals as well

Updated PLCC Cart







This time the cartridge is based off of an AMD chip, and also the MBC5 instead of the previous MBC1. I decided to put the plcc socket right where the rom was. The ram IC was swapped from a 64k to a 256K from a Zelda cart. It has the battery retainer from a BleepBloop cart so that the battery can be swapped out. The cartridge can be fully programmed (rom/ram) from a USB cartridge flasher, and the rom can be flashed from a PLCC programmer. I finished it off with a nice green power LED.

SGB CPU in a DMG

based off of another mod by Nex here is my sgb cpu swap into a dmg. It makes boot time much faster, but also makes the gameboy run slightly more reliably. For example, programs like Muddy GB and even lsdj run smoother.

Black and White LSDJ

So I had posted this on the forum a while ago, but my basic idea was to get rid of the shading in LSDJ to make it look more crisp. I will post more details later. In the upper picture is the standard, and the bottom is the black and white. Just changed the order of colors in a hex editor of the rom. I also edited myself a version with little fm and that black/white as well. in the program when you toggle from inv/regular it switches from black and white to shaded.

PLCC cart

old design with a new spin. Always wanted to build one, finally did a while back. I also did a solid state version where I just soldered the atmel chip. anyway enjoy

Clock Control Gameboy

I just finished up this Gameboy for Travis, a client of mine. It features a green-backlit inverted screen, green-lit buttons, Prosound, and switchable normal/variable clock control.
