That looks sick, how difficult was the process?
It's actually not very difficult but can be pricey depending on what you wanna mod and the tools you need to get. Plenty of YouTube videos that teach you how to do it, and I highly recommend checking some out.
Many IPS screens for the GB/A require extra sanding or removal of plastic internals so that the screen seats correctly.
That looks incredible!
We need new front lenses that say "Game Boi Color" for units like these that are so awesome.
Love it. I’ve seen a few metal CNC cases too.
This is slick! I love it!
Nice! I just got a similarly modded GBA and Pokemon gold to play on vacation 😄 I'm so excited
Where did you buy it out of interested? Not sure I could more this myself but would be intrigued to know how much it would cost to buy.
Etsy. Just search 'modded gameboy' and you'll see plenty of results
Can you get the dot matrix effect on the ips screens? It’s a big part of the gb nostalgia for me
Love this, I'm about to attempt my first GBA mod this weekend. Got a bone stock blue one off ebay with a broken screen so going to install a backlit LCD
How did your modding turn out?
Don't judge me....1 year later these parts are still sitting on my desk awaiting assembly lol
I’ll check back again next year then, hahaha.
Imma be honest. It sounds like you’re describing a hotrod lol
I love it. This is really cool!
Been wanting to make one of these so bad, anyone know of a goode guide that a beginner can follow along?
That is gorgeous.
Real sick tbh
Never seen a crystal in grey tbh
My custom FunnyPlaying SP build is basically the same - all white everything!
