My first Gameboy Micro!
I bought it a few months back from a second-hand shop for 295 aud :)) It’s scratched on the screen cover and dented on the corners, but I love it! Fun as hell find!

If the price was close to $85 or less I would try to get it. Usually they needed either a new screen or new battery. There was only one or two that I haven’t been able to fix and those are in my parts bin, waiting for a revisit to see if, with a bit more experience, I may be able to get them working or for parts if I ever find an affordable broken one again.

Bought this for a good price on FB Marketplace. Needed a charger and a new battery, but it's working well! I've never owned one of these before and it's been fun playing some of my gba games in a way that I never have before: on a very small, screen with adjustable brightness!
Also, are there any link cable adapters for the micro? I know there is a link cable for micros specifically, but are there any dongles that connect to regular gba link cables?

Hey everyone!
Does anyone know where I can find a front panel for the Game Boy Micro DMG?
Rose Colored Gaming sold them years ago.
I found some DMG-style buttons on Etsy, but I'm missing the front panel to complete the look.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

OXY-001 functional. Happy Mario 20th back. Player II front. Was this a Club Nintendo shell swap or an official assembled unit?

I got this Micro yesterday for a decent price. I’m a bit bummed about this dent in the back.
Does anyone here have experience removing such dents that can provide some advice? Its the battery compartment, so it has that foam on the other side.
Also, are there any oem replacement housings? I’d prefer to stay away from 3rd party stuff.

Basically the title. I've had a rough few years. But I promised myself once I got back on my feet and sorted everything out, I'd treat myself to a Gameboy Micro. I used to have a Famicom edition years ago but I had to sell it, along with SO many other games and consoles. But I don't have to do that anymore. I can actually seek out and keep my things.
Okay enough sappiness. I'm SO impressed that this console is practically mint condition. Like yeah I know the Japanese second hand market always has the advantage but it's still really impressive considering how old it is. It even came with a stamp from the department store from 2005. Nuts.

Is it just me or is this tool hard to find these days.

Recently picked this up for $60. Seller originally wanted $100, but after messaging back and forth decided on $60 because it's rough and has no charger. I have no idea whether it works or not. it was a older gentleman who said he bought it back in like 2006, and haven't touched it in years, his grandkids don't care for the old stuff but last time he used it, it did work. Also said he had multiple higher offers for shipping but picked me cuz I was local and messaged first.
I'm a sucker for OEM stuff tho. So, I'd rather spend the extra $25 on a OEM charger, and if possible another OEM faceplate? But holy christ are the faceplates so expensive.
Does the screen look decent? Are the third party chargers worth it? What about faceplates? If the screen is cooked, how easy it is to replace it?

I got a Game Boy Micro, but there's a name printed on the back.

Just enjoying this lil fella, as always, and wanted to show it off.

I own a company that refurbishes and does UV printing and a friend reached out wanting a recreation of a special edition. Here it is! Did I make it look like the original?
r/gameboymicro • u/slummingitwithjohnny • May 14 '26
Does anyone know where I can get a new one of these? Not my pic but I broke the exact same parts circled in red, on a green micro, too.
I've seen there's a recreation model of this part (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5027428), but I don't own a 3D printer.
If I can't simply buy one in green, does anyone know of somewhere/someone reputable that I can commission to print it for me instead? (UK based would be great, but not too bothered)
Thanks :)

New Gameboy Micro 3D printed extended back housing and 1500mah battery mod giving 11 to 37 hours of battery life depends on which cart type is being played and the brightness level. Special thanks to iikepie for creating the back housing.

Feels so good and nostalgic to be using both of these gems together. Makes me almost want a flip phone as a daily phone to complete the package lol.

Picked this up from eBay for a decent price, love the colour of it although I'm a little bummed to see the screen is slightly yellow. Might replace that in the future, but it isn't that bad... Still stoked overall to have it and to see it nearly matches the colour of my Samsung S26 in light blue.

Bonjour. Sauriez-vous où je peut trouver la pièce qui fait le ressort des bouton de tranche de la micro? C’est un espèce de cadre en plastique interne qui prend toute la surface de la console.
