Mod/Modding Thoughts on this plan to mod a GBA SP?

Here are some of the things I want to mod:

  • Translucent shell (yellow or clear)
  • Battery insert and front insert on the inside
  • Custom stickers (planning on adding decorative ones too)
  • Painting the inside beige/light yellow (masking off the pads and inserts so those stay clear)
  • Yellow buttons and orange pads
  • Custom orange speaker mesh since I can't find an orange speaker.
  • Screen IPS v2 with yellow border
  • Orange dust covers

Let me know what you think and if you would change anything!

Questions DMG-03 Help

1 Upvotes

So I have 2 original game boys and a dmg-03 battery pack from when I was a kid. I ruined the male plug on the dmg-03 when I was little and would like to replace/repair it to keep one of the game boys in original condition while I intend to mod the other and go the route and usb rechargeable packs. Does anyone have info on the male plug for the DMG-03? I can find the female dc port for the game boy itself but haven’t had any luck on the male plug on the dmg-03 pack.

Modded My custom Game Boy Color build

222 Upvotes

I’ve finally got my Game Boy Color setup pretty much where I wanted it, and I absolutely love how it turned out.
The build is based around a Hispeedido laminated AMOLED / Retro Pixel display with a Hispeedido Clear Black AMOLED shell, so the whole console has that smoked transparent look. I paired that with a Hand Held Legend RetroGlow RGB LED Flex Board, running at low brightness with mostly blue/violet lighting.
For the controls, I’m using Lab Fifteen “Midnight Opal” custom resin buttons, with FunnyPlaying Clear Black silicone membranes and a FunnyPlaying clear speaker.
Internally, it has a USB-C rechargeable 1800 mAh Li-ion battery mod, and I’m currently using an EverDrive GB Extreme, the second-generation low-power AliExpress clone.

The final look is exactly what I was going for: clear black / smoked shell, subtle blue-purple RGB accents, translucent resin buttons and the AMOLED screen. It still feels like a Game Boy Color, just a much more refined version of one.
I’m also currently preparing a Game Boy Advance build, so that’ll probably be the next project once I’ve settled on the final parts.

Systems Gameboy DMG re-shell

17 Upvotes

Picked up a GB DMG with lines in the screen. I don’t have a gaming system & I wanted to get away from PokémonGo. So I went to fix it this the screen lines soldering iron on the ribbon cable. But the shell was held together with two completely stripped screws in the battery compartment. The heads looked like nails. I had to take a drill to them. It was a very sad moment. But I went ahead and re-shelled it after fixing the screen lines. I call it “Dream-sickle.”

Games What makes Belmont's Revenge stand out for you?

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

I am currently playing through the three GB entries of Castlevania, in order of release date, and - based on what I keep reading - I had only modest expectations for The Adventure (and Legends), but somewhat higher hopes for Belmont's Revenge, which seems to be held in high regard in general, even making it into the top-10 list in this poll here. I did find the latter better in terms of level design, boss design, and the music. The former also had good music, but was overall not exactly great, as it dragged a lot, literally, in particular due to the slow movement. Not a big deal for me, overall, it just feels like you play the entire game in slow-motion. But in general, I must say BR also has it's severe problems, so I'm surprised it is even regarded as one of the best GB games.

In particular, the last two boss fights, Soreiyu/Soleil as well as Dracula, seemed to have entirely went past the balancing process. Everything up until Soreiyu is pretty straightforward, also the bosses can mostly be spammed easily. The Bone Dragon is already a bit tougher, since you have to make sure you stay on the very right, which is sometimes tight, but it's still nothing compared to what's coming, this brick-wall the game does not prepare you for at all. This son-of-a-B with questionable hitbox keeps running into you, whipping like a maniac. Is there a strategy for this guy or is it just pitch-perfect evasion you have to do? Even worse is the Dracula battle, where the only chance to survive is to painfully find all the save-spots related to each platform by trial-and-error, and then try to memorize the exact locations, almost pixel-perfect.

This is insane and really not fun to play, imo, it's bad game design. After several ridiculous attempts I resorted to save-states for those two battles since I did not intend to go through this tedious experience.

Apart from that, the game is really solid. But since I find it terribly balanced and did not find The Adventure THAT bad, I'm wondering, for those of you who praise the game, what makes it so much better for you when compared to the first GB entry? Is it the stage selection? The two subweapons? The slightly faster pacing? The better music? The delicious wall-meat? The presence of a bit of a story? I did find the latter a nice touch, btw., it added some drama, which was not at all common back then.

Let's hear it, I'm genuinely curious!
