Questions about putting an lcd on my game boy color (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I found my old gameboy color, and I started playing Pokémon gold on it.

The thing is, the screen sucks. I see there are backlight mods and wanted to know if anyone has experience with this.

I’m not sure if all the displays made for the gameboy color have the same resolution.

I can only buy kits directly from China where I live, but the resolutions are not listed. I’m worried it’s going to distort the original image.

There aren't. I've read up on it, it seems to work really well. And the firmware is upgradable, so they will probably release updates occasionally.

FPGA systems aren't like software emulators. The hardware itself emulates the original circuits, so the cartridges think they're talking to original hardware.
