This is an open source project that adds a GBC processor and screen into a DMG shell. Have to say, I really enjoy the weight. The github can be found here.

They tried to claim that they weren't ending the game boy line.......welp. Still waiting on that Game Boy Advance sucsessor any day now....

We all know the DS was the next Game Boy. WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST CALL IT THAT??? The original ones even played GBA, GBC, and GB games for fucks sake!

The DS WAS a Game Boy. That's it. That's the end of the story.

The 369 in 1 can be reflashed with the Nightrap rom. Funny thing too, the bootleg shell feels higher quality.

My A button was requiring a harder press for the input to be registered than normal, so I opened up my GBC and noticed this transfer on the PCB. I guess years as a child hard holding A to improve pokemon catch rates had caught up. What's the best way to remove this? Isopropyl alcohol and cotton bud?

Limited Run Games did preorders last April fools 2023. No actual gameplay, just the movies in quality similar to the GBA video carts.

Rom is 256mb. It doesn't load in the Mister, OpenFPGA, or mGBA.

DS Lite? Yes. DSi XL? For sure. 2DS XL, 3DS and its New and XL variants? You bet. But not a single 2DS aftermarket shell. Single backplates are sold here and there but not the whole assembly.

What gives? Is the 2DS really that niche compared to its siblings?

Took all my games out of their protective cases and dumped them out on the table. Sometimes it's just satisfying to rummage through a bunch of carts, hold them in your hands, and admire the label art. Does anyone else periodically do this with their physical games?

Recently obtained a GameBoy Camera cartridge; I've been having fun finding things to take pictures of!

I got an atomic purple gameboy color when I was a child along with six games.

In 2015 I found it back in a box and that got me into collecting consoles, games and into modding for few years.

I haven't bought anything regarding gameboy in a while (due prices being crazy mostly ๐Ÿซค) but though of sharing again to get interesting discussions going on.

What is your favourite console for playing?

For me at home I've used a lot the backlited gameboy advance as it's quite good ergonomic-wise. For commuting I've played usually fire emblem in the GBA SP and the tetris in the pokemon mini, super good ones and battery lasts a lot! ๐Ÿ˜Ž
