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.
