Gameboy unsync








I've been toying with the idea of writing a piece of music that explores the subtle unsyncing of gameboys. To the left, you can see the lsdj song I have started working on; it is very simple, using just the two pulse voices.


This song would then be uploaded to three old grey gameboys, who have all had their start-buttons hardwired to the same switch. When I press the swtich, they all start at the same time. Eventually they will drift, causing an unsyncing... a glitch of sorts...

so this is achieved as you said through hard wiring the start button...

Can LSDJ be synced in a similar way through the GB link cable?

Sorry I didnt mean to confuse by my wording. My idea is to produce UNsyncronisation, slowly, by the fact that the gameboys wont be accurate in speed when compared to each other... (and there is not data link between them...).

LSDJ syncs very nicely to another LSDJ. The timing is great.
