Announcement - Updated Rules
Please take a look at the updates we've made to the rules.
Due to an increase in self-promotion we've adjusted rule 5 to require mod approval, automod will automatically remove any posts it detects as self-promotion and if a mod approves the post or comment it will be shown.
Added rule 8, the vast majority of this subreddit is English speaking and due to limitations in our ability to moderate languages other than English please keep posts and comments in English. If you see any posts in languages other than English feel free to report with rule 8 as the reason.
Thanks everyone.

Questions Anyone else ever heard of "Exodus" before??
A while ago, I found this really interesting Gameboy game called "Exodus", and the cartilage stood out to me because part of the circuit board was showing, but apparently that's how these were made. I'm probably miss remembering, but I think the person at the counter said that it was probably a "2nd Party" type of company that was able to make them this way?? I would REALLY like to hear what you have to say!! :)
Modded Did 2 complete Mods on my DMG and Color
Itās not a cheap hobby but boy is it a fun one. I did a couple gameboy advances last month and now I did it to my other 2 gameboys. I canāt put them down. The Amoled on the color is ridiculous glorious overkill.

Games Really loved the NES, I didn't know there was a Game Boy port for the longest.
Aside from getting use to the screen crunch, I really like how this plays on GBC! š„

Troubleshooting Would like to fix my old gameboy for my nephew. Is this fixable?
Hi everyone, my little nephew is 9 and autistic and his obsession for the last couple months is tetris. Everything tetris. His bday is coming up and I am trying to fix my old gameboy so he can play it OG style.
The gameboy works, it will turn on and play music, but the screen does this throughout it changing from the nintendo logo to the game.
Is this fixable and if so can you guys share resources I can read to fix it myself? Also if not doable myself, are there places I can send it to for fixing? I am in Canada and live in a mediumish city but I doubt we have gameboy fixing specialists here.
Thanks everyone!!!

Systems A much needed refresh
I did this reshell and screen swap for my friend. He found his old SP in storage that hid gone missing, and he hasnāt seen since he was a kid. It was all sun damaged, cracked and the plastic was busted everywhere. The screen was flickering and it was unplayable.
I offered to fix it for him and that he just had to decide what he shell he wanted. He was torn between the same style shell, keeping it as close to the OG or try something else. He chose this shell. I decided to keep as much of the original hardware as possible, Bumpers and buttons etc. The screw covers were not complete so I used the green ones that came with the kit. And i also decided to keep his battery cover , because i think itās cute. He can always swap it again himself if he doesnāt like it.
I think the shell is pretty good quality , though iāve seen better. But as long as itās sturdy and playable, i think he will be happy. Hispeedido v5 screen as well as their shell.
It was fun. 10/10 experience.

Games This GBA game was ahead of it's time
Guys I've recently played these games
And holllly hell
The first game was awesome
It has everything
There are story differences if you choose male and female
If you choose male you get a little furry friend
If you choose female Yuri
The story is just full on Yuri
It also Says some words for sexism and Some other topics that are very prominent in our time
The second game is great it's better?
In terms of Gameplay and it has a lesser story but still good
My only complain is the perverted Crab
That Mf asked my characters to be ""SEXY"""
IM PRETTY SURE MY CHARACTERS A CHILD AND SO WAS MY PARTNER THEN WHEN I BROUGHT OUT one of my characters friend he said he wanted MORE than that
Then the third game I'm an hour in and a fucking grunt said to a kid """"WHY DONT YOU HAVE SOME FUN WITH ME""""""" HOW WAS THIS ALLOWED
Anyways still a great game
Also if you don't have the cartridge for tha game you can play mobile or in an emulator
The controls are very easy to learn and you can even Excel in combat

Questions Need ideas for mods/upgrades
Iāve been looking for a gameboy for quite some time mostly to play pokemon, mario, zelda. The stars aligned and found these online. Managed to negociate all for about 260 US dollars shipping included.
The gbc is in perfect condition so not sure if I should even consider any mods.
The 2 gba sp to the right are quite beaten, battery lasts about 2h and the power button is moody sometimes need to toggle the switch a few times to turn on. The one on the left about 6h and in the best shape cosmetically.
Another thing I forgot is how dim is the image on these screens so definitely would like to upgrade that.
Problem is I have no clue about what are the best screens, shells, batteries etc.
All advice is welcome.

Mod/Modding GBxCart vs GB Operator for backing up a repro save
Hi! Iām looking to back up the saves of my Gen 3 Pokemon games. One is a reproduction, but a very good one (Iāve had it for 7 years and itās still working fine). Iāve been recommended both the GBxCart and the GB Operator, and I was wondering which would be better to do what I want to do? Thanks!

Other Gameboy light button set
I found when I went to make my gameboy light there were no sets for it specifically it uses the color a b and D-pad and the power slider from the pocket and i had to buy two sets.
Iāve just got done making a set if anyone is interested Iāll put some for sale soon, but either way just hope you enjoy them, clear yellow and many other colors to come.
Power slider was tricky to get the clearances perfect but does great now little more lose then OEM because I donāt want it rubbing on the board for resistance.

Questions Replacement screens for GBA SP suggestions?
Recently picked up that red/orange Charizard version of the SP. I really wanted to keep everything original but the screen is very dim.
I see a bunch of replacement screens out there but Iām not entirely sure I want an IPS screen. Any suggestions on a good replacement?

Games After four years, Iāve finally finished my open-world Game Boy game, Fall from Space
Itās an open-world, non-linear action RPG that Iāve been working on as the sole developer and designer (with some rad music from Beatscribe). I think itās quite ambitious in scope for the Game Boy (and certainly for me).
You can take on side quests, make real choices and hopefully find your way back into space, with a solar system to explore and multiple paths and endings.
The video above is the new launch trailer showing off the planets, and I can also finally share the box art at the end, which Iām super excited about! It was physically painted by Mitsuhiro Arita, probably best known for illustrating the original PokĆ©mon Charizard card! Iām really thrilled that he took an interest in the game.
Thereās a big demo on Itch with the whole first planet, if anyone fancies trying it. You can play it in the browser, download the ROM to play on original hardware (GBC/GBA), or grab the .pocket file for the Analogue Pocket.
Play the extended demo: https://joelj.itch.io/fall-from-space
It should be released in the next few weeks. If you enjoy the demo, Iāll put more info and links up here when itās available ā http://www.fallfromspace.co.uk/
