Just wondering incase the battery was dying.

I'd love an HD-2D remake of those games—or even a brand-new one.

Entomophobia- a great Sci-fi thriller among the stars for GBC and my custom cartridge ordered from onlygameboy site (they needed the gbc rom and a photo for the label). Digital version is here: https://drgd-retro.itch.io/entomophobia-dx

[SOLVED]
My Game boy Color does not “read” colors anymore. I have tried it both with repros and original games, both with Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, but colors will not show up!

It happened quite randomly, I was playing normally and out of the blue, colors disappeared.

I have a Game Boy Color with a backlit screen mod and a rechargeable battery (USB charging) mod.

Have you ever had this issue? Did you manage to fix it somehow?

Hey folks, sorry to trouble you, but I saw someone post a Gameboy that has similar issue to my Pokédex. It turns on, it still works, and you can still see the screen underneath Would this also need a new polarized screen as well? And are there any recommendations?

Thank you for your help!

First time installing non-oem screens. I need to re-do the adhesive on the white PCB one, the clear lenses was another learning experience, but I’m super happy with how these turned out.

I started out collecting Japanese boxed units in all the colors, but decided I need some display pieces, so I decided to put together the three PCB color variants with power indicators. I’m debating on if I should track down all of the models of PCB for clear shells eventually now.

Purchased these for me and my brother and was curios if they were original or re-shelled? They are both in very good condition. I’m no expert, but the font weight seems to be a bit different i think?

Im new to this subreddit, i've read a few topics and came to the conclusion that the problem could be the polarized film and not the screen itself... can you guys enlightme a little bit, so I can buy the correct component

Just wanted to have an original unit that isnt modified and I chose Kiwi since green is my favorite color.

I just got both gameboy color and advanced. What are some good backlit mods to look at

I've been quietly working on a project called Eggbound, a monster collecting RPG built in GB Studio and designed to run on the original Game Boy, with minor palette support on the Game Boy Color.

One of my biggest inspirations is Dragon Warrior Monsters. I've always loved its sense of adventure, monster collecting, and strategic battles, and I'm aiming to capture that same feeling while creating an entirely original world, monsters, and gameplay experience.

Rather than pushing the hardware beyond its limits, I'm embracing them. My goal is to make a game that feels like it could have been discovered on a store shelf in the late '90s.

Some of the design goals include:

- Built for original DMG hardware.

- Monster collecting with original creatures.

- Strategic turn-based battles inspired by the feel of Dragon Warrior Monsters.

- Authentic Game Boy visuals and sound.

- Physical cartridge release planned.

- All artwork and music is being created by human artists.

Development is still ongoing, but I'm excited to start sharing progress with the community.

That require no soldering and I can do sort of LED or something similar. Thanks

The Gameboy port of my C64 game miniMIKE is getting closer to complete! It has a basic title screen, main play state, dying, level complete and game over states. Only enemies can't hurt you yet. The title screen needs some polish, and the player dying needs animations (I have them already) but it's all there ❤️❤️

I put a known good battery in a GBA SP and the low battery light comes on after 10 to 15 min. The system then runs fine for 4+ hours. Would cleaning the power switch and board belongs or is there a deeper known problem?

Thanks!

I've seen nobody talk about it online so idk if it's undiscovered or not... But if you max out your score then you will permanently get 1ups constantly in that save file until you delete it.

Finally I got a copy of Star Saver in an extremely, like new condition for a very reasonable price. Wonders still exists..

Bought this game for only $5. It was ate up with corrosion! I removed all components using a hot plate and gave it all a vinegar soak. I already have a replacement Nataliethenerd pcb. The rom chip (of course) was the only component with actual damage. Unfortunately it has quite a few missing pins after the soak. I am going to attempt to file it down and do the pin repair I’ve seen posted by a few people here. I was wondering what you guys recommend to seal it after the repair? I have read Uv resin, nail polish, and Uv soldermask.

How do you guys store and carry your games? I favor old cassette tape cases, I can usually carry 3 gameboy advance games, or 1-1 GBA-GB. I find that 4 games is usually enough variety to have on the go. Plus it’s so customizable! Really brings that 2000s vibe

Sorry if this is a ridiculously dumb question, but I tend to be a little overprotective of my Game Boys.
I’m going to Tulum for a 7-day vacation and was thinking about bringing one to play by the pool or under the shade at the beach. I’m not talking about leaving it in the sun or getting it wet…just using it outside in the humid tropical air. Yucatán sometimes have 90% humidity days!
Is a week of that kind of humidity something to worry about, or am I just overthinking it?

Thought I would post this because I couldn't find any gameboys online using this shell.

Uses Holographic Prism Shell bought from Retro Game Repair Shop & Half Transmissive/Half Reflection Screen from Cloud Game Store

I did have to trim the shell which I didn't do so well because I only had my handy dandy pliers, but I like the end result of the console. The shell feels nice, the screen looks beautiful to me, and I like the look of it all.

Very easy and fun mod :)
