I know it’s not what you asked for but it’s a really easy mod to do yourself. My screen cost me £28 from Aliexpress. It’s at least as good as an AGS101 (which I also have). There are two types of screen connector for two types of GBA PCB. If you end up going down this route I’ll consult my memberry banks.

I am looking into this too. My prime concern is buying one with original shell and buttons, plastic lens and a good mod job. And not a ridiculous labour charge slapped on.

The way I treat portables, glass would be idiotic.

Ugh, the white yellows.

I didn't know you can pick up backlit screens from Aliexpress

Excellent!

Now where the hell did I put that bloody console...

Going down the rabbit hole again. YAJ has ridiculously OTT bundles of gameboy ****, and I couldnt resist this: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 3587226253

price is right ,but worst pics ever ,it could be bluey /purple !

Post by **cools** » April 27th, 2018, 9:41 am

It probably is.

I can almost guarantee I will break something/do something wrong modding the first one - so a cheap sacrifice

You simply don't see this kind of thing in the UK: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u194507324

Yeah that must be a purple.

Everdrive brah

Nah. I don't know why but I've had an urge for a random Game Boy library of bare carts for a few years - probably related to mine being nicked back as a kid. Tried with some original form GB and GBC a while back and didn't find the motivation continued for long.

Consider it my equivalent of your toy and steelbook stuff

Have you considered a GB Boy Colour?

Post by **cools** » April 27th, 2018, 1:45 pm

Aspect ratio horror

Post by **LEGENOARYNINLIA** » April 27th, 2018, 1:47 pm

I guess I'm not that fussy about original Game Boy stuff as I never had one as a kid.

My first GB was a GBP, so I was late to the party. I finished all the mainstream 1st party and excellent (at the time) capcom Zelda games.

Going back to the GB is too much of a step back. GBA is still incredible though
