Title: New DMG Build. Backlight, Bivert, and reshell
Post by: justin8301 on December 03, 2018, 02:16:31 am
Pretty happy with the way this one turned out although I got excited and rushed part of it, so there's a smudge under the screen. I suppose I could disassemble it and fix that though.

I already had the gameboy, so for the backlight, bivert chip, new shell and buttons is was about $35 shipped from handheld lengend.

Awesome job, looks great! I still want to do something like this with my original Game Boy Advance.

I've done a few of those actually. Much easier than the DMG

Neat! Lately it hasn't been a practical thing for me to do since I play GBA / GBC / GB games on my TV 100% of the time via the Super Game Boy and Game Boy Player, but it would be fun to try it out.
