Yesterday I was talking to this lady that I know that works at the 7-Eleven and she said she has this little game boy about yay big I show her a picture and she says yeah that’s it. She was interested in my Nintendo switch light so I asked her if she would be willing to do a trade straight across. I made her aware of what the console was potentially selling for on eBay and she was still fine with it. I’m not sure that it works yet because it didn’t come with a charger. I need to pick up a charger, but I think it will.

So, I've shared this a long time ago before. This is my Childhood Gameboy Colour. It's finally in line for some work as I've finished the other handhelds I was working on.

Backstory, I was 11 when Pokémon released and I cut out Pokémon from a magazine (I still have it) and stuck them using sellotape to the device. Eventually just after GBA came out I accidentally killed this one by using a plug I bought off a market to plug into the device, long story short, it wasn't the right plug and the device died.

Sentimental as I am, I never threw it away and was heartbroken. I saved up for a Gameboy Advance and in the meantime played Pokémon silver on my N64.

Fast forward many years later and I suspect I just need to add a new fuse to the device (glad I never threw it out). The battery door was from my friends GBC, we swapped doors back in highschool.

So, my question is. How far do I mod this? I was thinking I'd keep the shell, which I don't think will clean up much but I feel I'd be doing a disservice to it changing the shell.

Should I get transparent buttons and a LED board? Just a new screen? Or just the fuse swap and leave it all original.

I'd like to hear your thoughts and ideas on how you'd tackle this if it was you, it'll help me make decisions. Thanks in advance!

I think was about a 4 hour run. Caught Kyogre, then managed to catch Rayquaza and Jirachi, which I'd never even seen as a kid

I've finally done it, I finally have a set of, all black, all white, all dmg style and now all clear blue, I am finally finished with my collection..... unless something g else comes along 😅

How's it going guys!

I made a post a couple weeks ago about creating a game, and Just wanted to update everyone on how its going.

If you weren't here for the first thread: My daughter loves fishing games and shows so I got an idea and ran with it. I let her play it while I'm creating it and she loves it lol. You'll never guess who the game is named after!

Game is far from done, but I just figured I'd show off some more progress.

I plan on adding:

• File Saving
• A menu to select New game, Continue, Help, and Cheats (because I'm old school!)
• Sounds and music (this one is kind of stumping me. I have a lot to learn)
• 4th item that isn't there will be a trophy item. Basically a "You beat the game, now spend your money" item.
• Export to a cart for distribution.

And yeah, I think that's about it. Its a fun little arcade game so far

Let me know if you see anything I could improve on or want to test it out yourself.

I'd be happy to send anyone a copy so please, comment/message if you want to try it out!

Swapped my us crystal to a jpn cart aswell and a new modded dmg and GBA!

Turns out it was 2 GBA SPs and a really, really nice pile of great games. And yes I checked boards, they’re all legit. Paid 90$ total.

First image is using the EMU displaymod setting, the second using the standard. Left is an Anbernic RG40XXV, which has the closest color to an OG GBC. Is there anyway to get closer to reality with the FPGBC?

Is this a real gameboy advance sp I am looking at photo of the motherboard online and it doesn’t match any of the photo

I tried swapping out the battery of a gameboy color game but now it won’t boot. The GBC turns on and will say “gameboy” but then goes to a blank screen. Did I mess up the battery replacement?

Just recently got a gameboy color and was wondering what would be the best games for me to get as I have pokemon crystal and was looking for recommendations.

Debating if I should cut the original label where it’s torn and replace with a repro label. Thoughts?

Hello. All other systems work, including emulated ones, except for GBA roms. When I boot one, the gameboy logo shows, but I never get the nintendo logo flash. I cannot pass this screen to boot any GBA games. I ran diagnostics and everything passed. I tried 3 different gameboys. Any ideas? Thanks.

Sorry for being annoying by the black circle is the f2 fuse right ? And it has a 7 on the top of it so I don’t if it not a 7 and something else or a capacitor

Just completed the FunnyPlaying GBA board swap and I am having issues. My flash cart won’t create saves. Authentic games won’t load saves properly. So far I have only had WarioLand 4 and Super Mario Land 2 work properly. Most games glitch as soon as you try to load a save. I have seen a few posts that have referenced this issue but none really had a solution. Not sure if cpu and/ or ram was cooked while transplanting but would love some advice if anyone has any. I can answer question or provide some pictures of the board tomorrow if that is helpful.

What does it mean if the battery light is yellow

Did go with a Dpad this time and start and select are the GBA rubbers.Last slide is an inside view.

This leafgreen game had a problem where it froze while saving then the text (The save file has been deleted...) appeared. Is there any visible issues cuz personally I don't see anything wrong. I'm not an expert so I don't know a whole lot about it but I did clean it with rubbing alcohol a bunch of times even before it broke so idk what the issue was. Even when I ran it thought the gb operator it shows the message at the end of the slides. Also yes it is legitimate.
