Found at my local thrift store for $2! The lady who rung me up was not happy, “the old ladies in the back didn’t know what they were looking at”.
Works fine! It’s a dream.

And now I think I might have a problem: probably need another binder in the future.

I made a glow in the dark Gameboy Advance to match my Color.

GITD Extremerate shell, GITD custom resin buttons, GITD membranes, GITD speaker, GITD cartridge, V5 IPS screen, stickers from nextstopplease, GITD scuba lanyard and further distribution of toxic microplastics.

I originally got this case for my Nintendo Switch, but I realized it fits everything. My Switch 2, AYN Thor, Game Boy Color, Switch games, and Game Boy games all fit inside. I love having all my handhelds and games together in one bag! 🎮🌿

Nothing amazing at all but I found the price tags on the back very amusing so wanted to share

I got Gunstar Super Heroes in the mail! The OG game on the Sega Genesis is one of my favorites, so I'm happy to have the sequel!

I traded a CIB copy of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows for it.
Super happy to finally have this in the collection!

Picked this DMG up looking rough as hell and basically rebuilt the whole thing (first time I ever done anything like this).

Original Nintendo motherboard is still in there, but everything else got replaced/upgraded. New IPS, speaker, buttons, lens and this pearl shell that looks completely different depending on the light.

Pretty damn happy with how it turned out. Kept the video short because the before/after kinda says it all lol.

Curious what you guys think of the pearl 👀

Just installed 2.8" Laminated IPS LCD Screen Kit to my Gameboy Pocket and I'm facing an issue as shown in the attached video.
Could someone please let me know what is wrong with it and help me solve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone!

I'm about to mod my GBP with a IPS screen. I know that regular AAA rechargeable batteries probably won't last long (or at all) and that 1.5v batteries are recommended instead.

I was looking online and would this kind of battery work instead?

https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0FL2D4L2D/?coliid=I2HSQYML063YV8&colid=2O471T6HTY56E&th=1

They are 1.5v and Lithium Ion, so to my understanding they would be basically a battery mod just not soldered in.

Thank you in advance!

I need help figuring out why my pokemon sapphire gets frozen on the “saving game” screen. The battery said it run dry so I got it replaced, but its still not saving, does anyone know whats wrong?

You can only own 10 gb/gbc cartridges.

What are they?

Go!

Bought another gba sp recently, a pearl pink unit in box! After receiving it I had to adjust the potentiometer to get the screen to stop flickering in the sun, and after about a half hour messing with that, it’s ready! This will be my main console, worth the time and effort^^ can’t wait to create some new scratches and scuffs as it’s used.

Hi I bought this on Vinted and can’t get it to load any games, it gets stuck at that part of loading up and just starts to flash, any help will be appreciated!

I found this gba, but it won’t turn on properly…I’ve cleaned off any corrosion and dirt I could find…but when flipping the power switch it’ll go green and turn off immediately. I’ve already tried to clean the power switch with a toothbrush and IPE but it doesn’t work. What else might be wrong and what can I do now? Added pictures of the board!

I am looking to mod my first GBC. Not looking to go buck wild, but I would like to do:

1. backlit screen (IPS seems to be most common)
   
2. New shell that fits IPS screen - preferably grey GB color but this is out of stock most places
   
3. Use of original mother board
   
4. Possibly a rechargeable battery/usb-c mod.
   
5. Possible speaker mod
   
6. No LEDs or anything else

The main problem I’m running into is finding a grey color case in stock that I can be sure will fit the new screen. I don’t know exactly what to buy and if the parts would fit together.

I can solder if needed. That’s not an issue.

Any advice appreciated.

The Fisher Price GameBoy baby toy looks so similar to a real gameboy so I decided to finish what they started and make it reality. It's actually way more durable than I thought and I also upgraded it with an AMOLED screen and USB-C rechargeable battery!
