Had a productive weekend!
This GBC got its capacitors and speakers replaced, and a brand new shell, along with the star of the show: an OLED screen!
With that, I also assembled a Game Boy Camera+. Thanks again to @ZephyrArcturus for 3D printing me the case!
Like OLED the screen looks so good it’s ridiculous. On this picture it looks like a flat emage. The display is so incredibly sharp and the colors are super vivid.
Fuck an Analogue Pocket, this + an Everdrive beats it
@Retidurc @ZephyrArcturus I really recommend the OLED screen mod, really worth it. You need a shell fitted for it, and there’s a single wire to solder to the motherboard, otherwise it’s like, super easy to install and the result is gorgeous.
@Siph I looooooove OLED screens on the GBCs, it really elevates the experience!
What OLED screen did you end up using? a drop in one or one you have to solder? I haven't modded a GBC in years so I'm kind of out of the loop on stuff lol
@Salem I have this one: https://retrogamerepairshop.com/products/game-boy-color-oled-backlight-kit-with-touch-screen-hispeedido?ref=6njgx4sufvs
AFAIK it’s the only existing OLED kit! All the other ones are IPS. An OLED screen for a GBC is a dream come true.
It’s sorta drop-in, you need to use a FunnyPlaying case originally made for another IPS screen kit, and you also need to solder a tiny wire to one of the pins on the power switch, but otherwise it was a really easy install.
