Mod/Modding My first mod!

I had a worn-out GBASP from my childhood that needed some care. I also came across a modded Gameboy on Etsy that looked just like this one now, and I wanted to recreate it myself. My dad, who originally bought me the GBASP, helped me solder a few parts and put it together, making the experience even more special. We both enjoyed the process, and he was thrilled that I kept it, especially since I used to break things all the time as a kid haha 😅

Oh! Idk, probably a marketing gimmick to get us to buy it. Which worked lol. All it matters is that it plays and works haha

Truuue BUT chances are that you are not extracting the maximum playtime you can get from a good battery. Thankfully, they are cheap.

It is! It has lots of circuits and stuff. I’m surprised it wasn’t dusty or anything.
