While I'm reading this I'm yelling to the kids, "hey, what kinda game boy do you have? Can I play with it?"
Cool. This bears furthur investigation.

I had a chance to play with the ROM of 1.2 for a while once. Really neat and interesting, but a huge pain in the ass to use. I certainly don't think it's worth the price for what it is, but other might disagree, especially since I haven't had a chance to mess with 2, and probably won't bother.

Yep Peter H, I figured that there must be another Mefite that got the same e-mail, so I had to rush ;)

Fun toy, but you can make just as much glitchy music on the cheap with Buzz and a pentium-500 laptop
Should be perfect for emulation under Virtual PC under 667Mhz TiBook, then.
Still, this is interesting. Handheld 8-bit music messing for $150-$200 USD. I'm definitely intruiged.

starscream - ha, yeah. I must've gotten on that mail list like two years ago or something. I totally forgot about ever even visiting the site. Totally surprised with the news. Awesome news at that, too!
Oh, others, if you can handle the ebay auctions, you can usually pick up a copy of nanoloop 1.0 with an old gameboy (which many think has a warmer sound, and comes with a headphone out) - cartridge and player together for about $100-$150. I can't tell but it doesn't look like there's much done to the new version other than the interface of the thing. Either version'll bleep n bip.
Incidentally, I'm fairly positive every sound from the group discussed in this thread came from a nanoloop, unprocessed

wow OOPS, I have no idea how I double posted. That's never happened, thought you couldn't. Scuse that.

Yeah, I did it too! Then left the PC for hours and had no idea that I look foolish at the top of the thread!

I dunno. If I want to make 8-bit bleeps, I'd rather play with JCH. But maybe that's my 6581 chauvenism showing.

Has anyone ever played with Nanoloop? Starscream? I haven't ever, sadly.
I want one bad (version one or two) but the cost is just too crazy, even used.

I got to play with a v.1 only once. I agree with angry modem that the interface was a pain in the ass, but once I got past that I was hooked :)
One of these days I'll get one of my own....
