if someone can help me find the original parts for this and a average price for a used one that would be appreciated
Hi, I know it might be silly to ask, but I want to clear my doubt. Is there any service or place where I can request a replica of a Game Boy? And I’m not referring to a customized one, but one created from scratch.
I mod my Game Boy Special. I really like this mod but unfortunately the mod pushes the glass out a bit, even though I made room for the cables.
Hey guys and gals I can’t seem to find the post but I know you can hardwire the CHS IPS screen to the pocket power switch I believe? It says just the wrap it around the power terminal but I want a better install. Can someone link me or just tell me where to solder? lol thanks
Ive been trying to decide for over a month, but its just too complex. Chromatic has am authentic screen, but GBC has the original shell and custom palettes
I DON'T WANT ANYONE SAYING "just buy an analogue pocket smh its a multiuse machine"
shut up lol
Can you swap the shells for a color change with these modkits once you installed one? Or are you stuck with one shell and display is stuck too firm in it? I'm having trouble deciding, which color I want ...
This really noticable stain appeared on the sticker of my gameboy game and it won't go away, I was cleaning with IPA
Hello!
I've just finished up a Gameboy Macro XL mod, and all went well, but I've an issue where I only get sound via the headphones, but not the speaker.
I tried with the original (DS) speaker and a brand new Switch speaker, and still nothing. I'm confident in my soldering, and have tested for continuity (across the wires, to the speaker), and all checks out fine.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks
Hello everyone.
Recently I got a Pokemon Emerald Original Cartridge, but it had its Flash Memory dead, so Im in the hunt for this component, but its hard to find somewhere to find it available.
Does someone have already had this issue and found a trustful site to buy this IC?

See about 29 seconds in. The others look as if they're either smiling or expressionless. Peach for whatever reason looks like she's scowling. Is there a canonical reason for this or is it just a random choice / accident?
My mom recently got interested in the Gameboy after I repaired one for myself. She's never been much of a gamer, more puzzles and practical type games. Besides Tetris, what should she try?
Gotta say, i wasn't a big fan of the SP, until I decided to mod it
I already posted this once, but I don't think I saw the picture. It's the Game Boy micro CoroCoro edition. The sample size is too small, and aftermarket faceplates exist, so it's confusing. If anyone knows, please help
Pokemon Green repo cart. It's obviously a GBA board, and is populated with MX29LV320EBTI-70G ROM and IDT71V256SA15YI SRAM chips. Weird part, the save seems to be part of the ROM. When I extract the ROM and open it in VBA it already has the save data and generates a .sav file from that. I've tried some online guides to try and force a save into the ROM via savestates but VBA just hangs. Are there any other ways to inject a save into this ROM?
HI everyone, I have the opportunity to buy a classic Game Boy in great shape for 60€. I wanted to give this to my kid for christmas who loves old consoles ... is it a good price ? no pixel problems, and everything works
