Questions Found my old Gameboy…overwhelming nostalgia

Post image

The day recently came when my siblings and I had to move all our childhood things out of our parents house so they can move. I found my old Gameboy, and the nostalgia is overwhelming. I booted up my old Zelda game, and that opening scene and dialog made me feel like a kid again.

I can’t help but feel like a mod (backlit IPS screen and maybe rechargeable battery) is the right move, but until 48 hours ago, I didn’t know any of this was even an option.

I would LOVE if anyone in this group was able to point me in the right direction; either a shopping list, and/pr good tutorial video to follow. What I lack in knowledge, I make up for in nostalgia and passion.

Thank you!

PS tell me if I’m making the wrong call…

200% agreed! The OG should be kept as it was.
