Project planning can get really tiresome and boring, so I spent the bulk of my evening learning how to use LSDJ better, with help from a tutorial on 8BitCollective. Here are the results:

I’m having a few problems with the volume at the mo. You can probably hear a very quiet noise in the background, and I have no idea how to turn it up… yet.
More to come
Now that I have the Game Boy Camera and Printer, LSDJ and will soon have the Transferer and 32M Cartridges I’m hoping to make something like this
One thing I also really like is this dance piece:
I would’ve like to have seen the dancers incorporate more erratic movement and even some sort of costumes (Princess Peach and Mario perhaps), but overall I think it shows that Game Boy Music isn’t just for the hobbyist.
I’m on the Printer, originally uploaded by hellocatfood.
Now I’ve got a Game Boy Printer as well. Not really needed for any projects, but it’s just a bit of fun! It’s amazing how awful the quality is, but at the same time that’s what makes it so cool!
It’s surprising how hard it is to win a Game Boy from ebay. Nearly everyone wants one and because they’re usually sold in a bundle with other games and accessories it usually goes for about £30. Luckily I managed to get one from the Indoor Market for £5 and the Game Boy Camera for another £5. Schweet!
Like everyone else and their mother I’m hoping to get my groove on and make some music using programs such as LSDJ. I’m gonna get a Game Boy Pocket to make the actual music on, due to it’s bigger screen and better display, but according to some surveys the DMG has the best sound. So I’ll export it all using this one.
