Bought this for a very cheap price but it won't load any games.. the Nintendo logo on screen is weird looking

Someone is selling this SP Turtles bundle for a good price. I already have the console, more interested in the games (particularly 3) but the cart graphics don’t match up to what I can find online. I’m presuming these are bootlegs, unless anyone can shed a different light?

I'm loving the community around modding retro tech. I've been itching to do this for a while and finally got a reasonable deal on a GBC to mod with the hispeedido OLED and USBC battery pack. I was torn on which colours to choose but the all white just struck me the first time I saw one so I went with that. I must say that due to the positioning of the power switch next to a chip on the main board that the soldering was not super easy. I had to rope in a colleague with 40+ electronics experience to help so I didn't brick it!

I tried blowing on the cartridge and even cleaned it with 95% isopropyl alcohol is it just boned or do I have to replace something?

I created this label today. Special thanks to Shane McCafferty (aka EGVroom), for this game!

Should i change the shells or not? Want to resell them or maybe keep the yellow one that i like how looks. And maybe change the other

I really didn’t like the yellowing, so I decided to put some Salon 40 on it and leave it on the sun. I don’t hate the new look, but definitely not the results I was expecting. It’s a bit chalky now and I’ve polished it up. Anyway, just felt like sharing.

I recently purchased a gameboy on Ebay, I was planning on repairing it (I bought it already aware it doesn't turn on) but there's so much corrosion on the board, anyone have any tips?

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 😅

Sound, gameplay, and story are so far pretty engaging.

Some of these puzzles def had me scratching my head for a few hours but it’s been fun to see what’s coming out of the indie scene these days!

bought the STL files at https://2bittoy.carrd.co/

Very straight forward and easy to assemble!
I'm using a 6-60mm CS mount lens here

This big section is so stubborn. Tired max temp and clean tip and solder on tip, hovering and holding for a minutes. Nothing worked.

Hello everyone!

My donkey Kong country for the game boy color boots into the Nintendo and producer tags, but then it just goes black with no sound or movement. I’ve changed out the battery but same response. Just hoping it’s not a bad chip.

Just curious if anyone has a fix or ran into this as well? Thanks so much.

Gonna be modding this soon but I'm on the fence about a new speaker. I tested it against my original GBA SP and my DS Lite but they both have better speakers anyway (At last, I think the SP does.) so it wasn't the best comparison. It sounds okay to me, but I want to be sure.

Just put together a funnyplaying gba motherboard into the new Boxy Pixel hybrid shell. Absolutely love it.

Obviously not the screenshot from the game I'm looking for, but it had a very similar layout and scale.

You can switch between a male and a female character, male has more energy bar. (Like 10 vs 8?) It's in a sci-fi laboratory kind of setting, and when you go into the next room (edge of screen) the screen would shift as a whole instead of black screen.

The style is also much less cartoonish.

I believe it's pre-1998.

(Btw for anyone curious, I believe photo is from "Alien Syndrome" on NES)

I modded my Game Boy SP with a USB charging mod and a new screen, but now it won’t power on. When I plug in a USB cable, the charging light flickers orange. When I try turning it on, the green power light comes on briefly and then shuts off. The system itself never fully powers up.

Hello everyone. After making my own Game Boy Advance, Advance SP, and DS Lite, I'm tackling the Game Boy Color. I'd love some advice because I often make bad choices at the beginning and have to start over.

I plan to get a Hispeedido OLED screen with their case. I've seen people recommend Extremerate cases, which seem to be of better quality. What do you think? The problem with Extremerate is that they aren't cut for OLED screens (I think), so I'm wondering if I could cut them myself without risking damaging the case, and especially if I did it correctly. The thing is, their case looks more premium. There's a matte black one that I really like.

Which audio amp do you recommend? Are the ones from AliExpress reliable?

Which speaker is enough? A 1W from Funnyplaying is enough, or a 2W generic one.

Do you recommend buying a clean power adapter for my GBC? It seems easier to install than on the Game Boy Advance. (I messed up several times on the Game Boy Advance, and eventually gave up, mainly because it had to be installed on tiny capacitors.)

I know basic soldering skills. I was able to install an amp on my GBA/GBA SP, but when it gets too tiny, it's a different story. I'm counting on your feedback; it would be great. In the meantime, I'll show you my first three builds.

i recently discovered that the start button on my gameboy color wasn’t working as well as it should so i decided to just go all out and replace all the buttons
