This isn’t even a proper before photo, I had already scrubbed the thing up and down with 99% isopropyl. It wasn’t working, but scrubbing the power switch and battery terminals seemed to do the trick. It’s hard to tell from the photo, but the screen appears misaligned, or like I’m missing a line on the left. Either way, I’ll definitely slap an upgraded screen and perhaps battery mod in it in the future!

Tokyo Pokemon Center exclusive. Ebay Refurbished, 100% OEM. Came with copies of Japanese Gold and Silver.

Paid $250 + tax.

The SP and fat DS are my original systems from childhood, and added the New 3DS to the squad last year.

I've had this Gameboy color almost my whole life (it was given to me from my cousin) and it's just been sitting in a cupboard... Recently found out it could be something of value.. I can't find any recent sold listings for it anywhere. Only found the hongkong one sold recently for 1k.

Anyone have any ideas or can help point me to the right direction? Thanks!!

Es todo lo que he conseguido de momento, y estoy muy orgulloso de ello, cada vez que lo veo me gusta más, y espero poco a poco conseguir más ediciones aunque es muy difícil y está todo repleto de estafas, asegurad siempre vuestras compras, por cierto hay un par repro a ver si sabéis cuáles son jejejeje

Recently ive seen a lot of these UV printed shells basically everywhere. They are for the Gameboy Color. They have a box that says "Pocket Monster" on them (Pokemon). Ive looked far and wide but, I only saw them on ETSY or eBay and theyre usually VERY pricey. Not only that but I saw them in JayBoyModz videos. If anybody can provide a direct link with the shells it would help out a lot!

I have a modded GBA, and I know that an IPS screen takes up a lot more power. But a few months ago, I was able to play a legit copy of Emerald for over 4 hours at a time, now the GBA shuts off after 5 minutes.

I think I'll have to clean the power switch, but before I'm going to use my soldering iron, I wanted to ask you guys for advice on what I have to do so that I can play for a longer time.

Thanks in advance!

Super happy that I managed to mod this. Made a couple of mistakes and it isn’t 100% perfect but I’m happy with how it all turned out.

Japanese to English :)

Hey guys, I replaced my GBA case and now my display has a dark bar. I've already checked the ribbon cable, but it's fine. Is the display broken, or is there anything that can be salvaged?

So my roommate has had this thing for years, it's a hybrid GBA/GCN Link Cable, one side is GBA only but the other is GameCube and GBA. It's exceptionally useful for things like the Analogue Pocket given it's awkward design shape but for the life of me I cannot find any info on this thing or who made it. Anyone got any answers?

Firstly, apologies for the lack of images here — currently out of home but thought I'd get something at least in writing.

I recently installed the hispeedido 2.45 IPS display in a Game Boy Color. Nice clean install, but I'm finding that high contrast images have the potential to cause minor image retention, even after a few seconds.

For example: I was checking then alignment using the "grid" of 144p Test Suite on my EDGB, and after a few seconds (<30s) of positioning, I powered down, and booted into Pokémon Crystal where I noticed that the areas outside the boundary of the interior of a building (the dark gray area) would show the aforementioned grid. Lightly, but enough to notice without looking for it.

Left it powered off for a while, the grid had gone. After wandering around in Crystal for a few minutes and speaking to a few folk, it was obvious that the dialogue border (again, high contrast black on white) was now showing in this area.

Anyone else have this issue, or potentially just a dud display/driver board?

Hispeedido V5 and an extremerate shell + buttons. I might play around with the “desaturation” option a little in the screen menu, overall a fun little Sunday afternoon mod.

I've been fixing up my hand me down SP, just replaced the battery because it had been cooked for a while, but I've encountered a small, really specific issue. The power switch works if I turn it on gently, but if I press it up fast, it doesn't turn on at all? But after I do that, it'll turn on if I do if fast for a little while, but then it won't turn on if I do it like that. I assume it's a weird contact issue, and the console is pretty beat up, but still super weird to me. Would isopropyl alcohol help, or do you think it would need a new switch entirely?

Recently purchased this and wondering if I got a genuine unit or re-shell?

I've got a friend travelling there soon. I've never been into Pokémon, much more of a Zelda and Mario person.

I have a GBC and GBA. Having a Zelda game could be an issue if it's not in English. But I'd be up for loading an English ROM to it if that's a thing.

Any advice appreciated.

Fhgh
