GameBoy Synth....

I know, I know, again with the bumping...

I cracked open a Gameboy Pocket, and it's pretty amazing, all the pins have holes for headers, and pretty much everything's labeled. I see Sin, Sout, Sck lines on the processor, MA0-MA11, MD0-MD7, SO1-SO2, LD0-LD1, CPL, CPG, CP, ST, S, FR, etc.

And of course, audio out, a DC-DC converter, and a pot for volume :)

I know most folks have been focusing on external connections to gameboys, but I figured the whole 'internal' approach might yield better results.

Edit: From my research, it seems that the Z80 would require a cartridge to be programmed. These  carts and programmers are getting harder to find... Mind you, the GB Advance/GBA SP/GB DS have better cores, and let you access the serial port directly.

As much as I love the Z80 pseudo-sound-chip, you can get GBA's for $10 or $20 on ebay. I'm thinking it might be easier to just develop with those  :-[
