WS Crystal No can do Neo Geo Pocket Color Ditto Game Boy / Color Totally possible Lynx Also doable as I understand it --- End quote --- 2 first two would require an entirely redesigned screen, like the GBA SP-101 (which is what I'm using for the old GBAs). They can't be lit from behind as is :( The GB and GBP I know for a fact are doable, but I'll have to take a look at the color. I have an old busted Lynx. I'll take a look at it and what makes it tick. edit: Oh yes, the Lynx is entirely possible. It's lit with a fluorescent tube like the Gamegear. Wouldn't be hard at all ;D |

I'm pretty sure the Game Boy Color is doable, since I've seen mods on YouTube, and I believe they used the GBA SP light (not sure if it was front or back-lit version). Not to get too ahead of myself, but do you think one day you might be able to offer LCD screen replacements and installation for Game Gear and/or Sega Nomad? I've seen several people on YouTube who offer to do that and also replace the Nomad's rechargeable battery with a modern rechargeable battery, but I would much rather go with someone here I can trust to do it to a real quality standard. ;) Here's an example of one of those people: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bix64MUBx-8 EDIT: Also, caught up on what I missed in this thread while I was gone - GBA Micro faceplates?! Count me in! With a little paint on the A and B buttons, I'm sure people would love to see these concepts realized: |

I figured you'd be the 1st to want one ;) --- Quote from: Dr.Agon on September 10, 2012, 04:40:01 PM --- --- Quote from: Forte on September 10, 2012, 04:01:05 PM ---Holy crap, Lois wiggy, I just might need one of those backlight GBA Phats because I hate the SP --- End quote --- the backlit GBA phat looks pretty cool, id get one if i didnt already have an afterburner one! i too am not a fan of any non-Phat GBA, but i needed a lit solution for my GB/GBC games... i call it the Oh!GBA SP --- End quote --- You can front light just about anything, but back lighting can be tricky. Some screens (like the GBA and NGP) cannot be backlit and must be front lit. The SP (101) came with a backlit screen, but cannot simply be plugged into a normal GBA or even a non-backlit SP (001). It requires some crafty wiring to make it work. It may be possible with the GBC, but I haven't looked at it yet. So what do you do exactly with that GB? Is that an SP in a GB shell?! --- Quote from: TyrannicalFascist on September 10, 2012, 04:45:34 PM ---I'm pretty sure the Game Boy Color is doable, since I've seen mods on YouTube, and I believe they used the GBA SP light (not sure if it was front or back-lit version).

Back light is another story (see above). Maybe. It's not on my current list of things that I plan to offer :/ That is a sweet looking mod though! :o Paint? Pffffff, I'll cast fresh new buttons in any color you want ;) |
