This was built all by hand including mounting all the components and took several days to build.
Gameboy DMG Color - Mouse Bite Labs
£370.00
- An original Game Boy aesthetic, using the original Game Boy shell and interface (link port, volume wheel, power switch, etc.), but with the capability of playing both Game Boy and Game Boy Color games.
- A nice, large IPS screen – the GBC Q5 XL IPS Backlight with OSD kit – with brightness and color palette control via the "navigation switch" housed where the contrast wheel used to be.
- A modernized, efficient switch mode power supply that can run off 4x AA batteries or input from the DC jack, just like the original DMG. Testing shows that playing with NiMH AA batteries can yield more than 18 hours of gameplay at normal settings (AKA, the way I normally play it - maximum brightness and headphones).
- Louder, warmer sound through a modern audio amplifier.
- Tactile switches for the face buttons - like the GBA SP.
- RGB backlit buttons, with multiple color modes and brightness control
- No externally viewable case modifications, outside of trimming the DMG power switch cover for Game Boy Color game compatibility.
