Game boy classic building

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.

Backlight and Bivert Mod

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.

Hispeedio IPS display & shell swap

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 ...

Gameboy Macro XL Speaker Issues

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

MX29L010TC-15A1 Sourcing

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?

Why does Princess Peach look like she's scowling in the Mario Advance ending?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBjjszUGFyE

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?

Games for adults?

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?

Reproduction Cartridge Save Injection

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?
