I’m looking to get into modding my GBC and am pretty excited about it—I enjoy that kind of hands-on work! While I haven’t tried any mods yet, I recently assembled an FPGBC, so this is what got me hooked on this new hobby.

I’m hoping to dive into some soldering for this project and would love to hear your suggestions on what I should start with when it comes to modding or upgrading my GBC. Are there any must-do mods for a first-timer?

Also, any recommendations on where to buy parts for a good price in Europe would be super helpful. Thanks in advance for the advice!

Hello is there anyone who can tell me how I can save my Pokemon Red.gba? I have patched it into a .gba with goomba but I cant save here. Can someone help me? I need to reset for something so I cant use savestates

Game was no box $50 dollars and the gbc was $100.

Going to reshell it and ips and speaker upgrade!

But failed on the final boss in Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun: Bangai Rantō Hen. Makes no sense haha

I’m in total shock, I was getting old stuff from my parents house and I found my baby!

I recently mounted an ips on my old gba sp and there is this bright green pixel standing out and being very annoying whenever the screen is black. I tried cleaning it from the inside, run a pixel fixer rom, tried massaging it with an eraser and a pen + microfiber cloth but nothing worked. What can i do ? I know this isn't strictly a gba sub but i figured the gba one is rather small in comparison.

Pokemon Pinball (GBC)
This one is going to be an odd duck, since I don't want to make anyone dump dozens of hours into a pinball game to try and catch every pokemon. There's also no way to see how many pokemon you've caught anyway, and nobody wants to post a hundred screenshots of their pokedex. I've gone back and forth on picking various achievements within the game, and I've finally landed on this: You can earn points by completing the following tasks, in any order, for a maximum of 2 points. (must be completed and posted in November.)

one point: Top the high score table (500,000,000 pts) on the Red field.
one point: Top the high score table (500,000,000 pts) on the Blue field.

There was a Game Boy game that I played a lot on the GBA emulator for cell phones in a pocket, it was a 2D phase game, and at the beginning of it you could see a black background with dialogue from some bosses that would appear throughout the game. , and each stage you went through, at the end of them there was a boss, and in the last stage of the game you fought against a witch who played the piano and rats came out of the piano, and the main character had the power to launch blue fire from his hand and there was a candy level where you entered a circus and entered the level, and at the end of it there was a clown boss, and his walking mechanics were similar to those of Dragon ball Z The Legacy of goku, but after you entered a level and the character looked different, and all the levels had a type of parkour to go through, and the game had color, and when you started a level there was like a place with several houses with a padlock in front of them, but when you unlocked the level, the padlock disappeared and you entered the little house and entered the level

Hi all, as the title suggests I just got done wrapping up with my GBA custom, but I’ve noticed that the screen seems pretty flush with the shell up top, but as it goes down it’s less flush with the shell. I think the worst area is the corner right by start and select, but then again it’s only sunk in a tad bit deeper than the right side.

Is this normal? And if not, how should I go about fixing it? I have a transparent shell and I know that cracks/breaks are more prominent on clear plastics so I’d like to avoid taking it apart multiple times if possible. Anything would help!

Picked these up at a local convention today for a killer deal. The boxes are near mint and I’m 99% sure the games haven’t even been played and the manual haven’t been looked at. Even the maps look like they have never even been unfolded.

Anyone have a suggestion for some hard plastic protectors? I know there are the thin plastic ones but I want something a little nicer.

With no game inside and a broken gameboy :( turns on and the screen lights up but it doesn’t do anything. Pokemon cards given to my parents neighbours kid without my permission. Noooooooooo!

Es como la cuarta vez que despues de jugar al Mario Bros Deluxe en la Switch tengo un problema de guardado, no se me guarda la partida a pesar de que guarde cada vez que salgo, le doy a guardado temporal no se si deberia de hacer algo mas :(( alguien mas que le pase? //

It's like the fourth time that after playing Mario Bros Deluxe on the Switch, I have a saving problem. My game doesn't save even though I save every time I exit. I use temporary save, but I don't know if I should do something else. :( Is anyone else experiencing this?

I’m wondering what screen looks closest to the original. I know about tft screens but I can’t seem to find any reliable kits for them.

Extremely happy with these pickups! I have played FFL and Link's Awakening many times but the rest are all new to me. Especially excited for Pitman!

One of my friends has a gbc, but he lacks a lot of games and I wouldn't wanna buy 2 copies of a game just to play something together. I'm pretty sure there are some gb and gbc games that only need 1 cartridge to play.

Edit: I am mistaken

Hi, i did some repair cause of the rubbin cable between 2 motherboard was dead, i repaired everything with Little wire but only backlight dont works. I know That p3 connector is the backlight rubbin cable, but when i put it into the connector, screen still no light but work. What can i do ? Which voltage the backlight need ?
