As a kid, I spent most of my time searching for ample light sources while playing Pokemon on my Game Boy. Back then, even having something as simple as a few colors on the screen seemed futuristic. In spite of this, Nintendo’s Game Boy consoles revolutionized video games while featuring an unlit monochrome screen. Aside from the Japan-exclusive Game Boy Light; there wasn’t a properly backlit Game Boy console until the Game Boy Advance SP was released.
Nowadays, we’ve got handheld consoles with OLED panels and pixel-rich experiences. But, there’s still something so special about the Game Boy Color.
So, what if we combined a screen from the present, and a Game Boy Color from the past?

That looks so cool Dan! Nice job on the upgrade!! I might have to do that too in the future…
The Game Boy Color has always been impactful item in my formative years. It gave me friendships, heartbreak, and tons of hours of fun. This video really brought back memories. Great work!
Congratulations on successfully completing this project! I find electronic tinkering to be super fun and rewarding. Hopefully your confidence grows and more projects show up here. 🙂
This was so fun to watch! Awesome stuff.
Great song choice. Always the song I go to in my head when I think Pokemon.
Flux makes solder flow/work easier with electrics. You can use alcohol to remove flux after soldering. Soldering is a useful skill to have. Good job for your first time with a soldering iron.
WAIT I WANT ONE SO BAD
What is the mod name
I learned to speak English playing Pokémon red on my gameboy advance and I could never forget what it felt like to go to the recess at school and see kids playing Pokémon on their gameboy color. It is something beyond emotional, it is the reason I learned English as a kid in Venezuela. Thank you for sharing! I am buying a Gameboy color today (after 21 years) and your video inspired me to try this mod.
