i'm impressed!

i assume it has an external power supply? do you have any pics of the cart guts?

Hello Jowan, i saw your program quite while back now and attempted to find schematics for making a cartridge. i have been interested in this project for a while now, very, very cool idea

there is a guide on Devrs that shows you how to make an adapter on the game link port to turn it into a IO port.

if the program worked with that then you wouldn't need custom carts, just an add on.

so you could stick the solenoids onto an ordinary drum kit?

yeah, what I figured.  Really cool concept.  One could use this for non-music related stuff as well, such as controlling a robot.  GameboyBoy would be awesome.

Side note; oh man I haven't used C in years, looking at that code brought back memories...

Bot that leaves you with a drawback...  You obviously want to sync this thing to LSDj or NL!

I would like to share a project I did a while ago but am about to make a load of boards and kits up if any one is interested.

Its a GB in/out cartridge with a simple Drum Machine ROM, but instead of making noises it controls solenoids that band and twang whatever you want, there fore you alter the noise by selecting different material.

There a some great audio samples of people playing with the Kits and some pictures too, also there is C source code available to help others learn GB development and the ROM of the Drum Machine game although its a bit useless with out the cart you could take the source code and do something else with it if you wish.

here are a few images

and leave some feedback, I'd like to here your comments.

DO FUCKING WANT

Color me highly interested.

Sign me up for the waiting list too!

I'd personally be more interested in some kind of sequencer rom, that would control some toys via optocouplers or something. Using link cable port... that would be awsome for me.

Funny you should say that. I was just modding an old drum machine (or rhythm box, to be precise) and that would go great with a sequencer and optocouplers.
But the point still remains that if you use the com port, you can't sync with LSDJ anymore...

Stil... If you find anything like that, I'm interested

using this to trigger circuit bent instruments would be truly sick. awesome project!

Would it be possible to make something more like this http://dsbrut.sukzessiv.net/ ? If so that would be so awesome, you could make the gameboy trigger almost anything

If you ever do make kits for this, I will definitely buy one. Great work!

Idly exhuming this thread just to see if there's any news and let you know I'd definitely buy a kit if you do decide to offer one.
