If you’ve ever wanted to get into the world of creating chiptunes, now’s a good time. Over at Gameboydev.org, you can purchase a USB Game Boy Cartridge designed by Jose “BleepBloop” Torres from 8bitcollective.com.
It was designed with LSDJ (a popular chiptune homebrew application) in mind. On top of the $75 price tag, you’ll have to also make a minimum donation of $2 at the Little Sound DJ website in order to get the LSDJ ROM file. The cartridge also includes a user-serviceable battery compartment and a USB port for easy data transfer. Added frills include your choice of circuit board and label colours as well as a printed “I love my Gameboy” on the board itself.
