Hey guys/gals. Just thought I'd drop in and clear up a couple of things.
Midify doesn't stop the buttons from working. Obviously while one is being "pushed" by MIDI you can't push it again using the real button, but otherwise it is completely transparent to the DS.
As far as being hackish, that's exactly the point. This mod is for MIDI-enabling apps and games that have no built-in support for DSerial or any other interface. While limited in what it can do (buttons only), it requires absolutely no software support.
Take the PixelH8 cart for example. It won't support a serial MIDI adapter so this is a good way to control it.
Thanks for checking it out, anyway, even if it's not what you're looking for.

PS: Is an "out" version something you would find useful? (Use a Game Boy as a MIDI controller)
