That screen doesn’t look right unless you messed your console with some new acreen
Haha yes definitely not original. I put an IPS screen in it over Christmas. Gave me the push I needed to revisit the GB library on semi-official hardware.
That looks amazing!!! Pokémon Red next?
Ps: tutorial for that screen update?
Played yellow when I was younger, never got around to blue or red. Added to the list :)
Parts: Replacement screen+front PCB https://funnyplaying.com/products/dmg-retro-pixel-ips-lcd-kit
Alignment bracket: (the link above came with a bracket even though it said it wouldn't) https://funnyplaying.com/products/dmg-retro-pixel-ips-lcd-holder
Video tutorial I followed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDmJ1IJG_Zo
Good luck :)
If you have a way to load Roms into it, you may want to to try ShinPokéRed. A mod fixing bugs and trainer Ai.
Yep I have a flashcart. I'll def give it a look before I start Red version!
Saving that screen link for later. I cannot imagine how great that must look in the old girl.
Oh it's night and day. It's really made me appreciate the DMG library. It has a dot matrix mode that emulates the grid of the OEM screen. I flip back and forth from time to time.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
