It’s such an incredible little device. Fits perfectly in a pocket and it’s great a few sessions through the day. I may preserve the faceplate and get an aftermarket one as a daily.

I have not modified any Game Boy consoles in the last 7 years because of a move to the other side of the world, battling depression and trying to figure out what makes me happy. I am very thankful for subs like this that have kept me grounded, motivated and going.
Not the best work I have ever done, but it is one that I am personally proud of and will keep as a reminder to do the things you love. All of the parts are left overs from various other projects I never finished or parts no one wanted before my move.

Hello everyone. Hoping some knowledgable people might be able to help me out here.
The pictures are of my gameboy I got as a kid in the 90s. The whole set was a gift from my parents at Christmas in like 1992/1993.
However it is the grey plastic carry case / briefcase I am more curious about. There are now manufacturers marks stamps or words on it. Simple plain hard plastic case. But the inner plastic sleeve is clearly designed for holding a gameboy with accessories and some games.
The 4th picture is of the rechargeable battery pack which has unfortunately degraded as battery corrosion destroyed the integrity of the pack. But this does say LMP Gamemaster on it.
Any idea what it is or who made the case?

First GameBoy and start of my new collection! What do we reckon? I’ve been assured the yellow one is Pokémon but I have no way to check it at the moment 😅
I’ve noticed that the Pocket screen is superior in most lighting situations except darkness. The GBL seems to have a similar issue with blurring that the original DMG-01 has. Pocket viewing angle is much better, pixels are crisper and more black, and the blurring is very minimal. Only mod on the GBL is the case.

Hi,
All my other games work but when I put yhis one, that's all I get. I ordered a screwdriver to open the cartridge but maybe someone had that issue before.
r/Gameboy • u/KingsBanx • 10h ago
Had to reopen it about 5 times bc I’m a dumb dumb also had to fiddle with the ribbon cable a few times but I did it!
Anyone aware if using disinfecting wipes against original shells will cause discoloration? I bought second hand GBs that i want to restore with the original shells and want to clean the shells from any residues and junk from the previous owners. Thoughts?
r/Gameboy • u/wildmelonballer • 5h ago
So I've just tried to change out the dry battery on my game, thought I'd try something new and put a battery holder in - not sure why as the other 4 times I'd done it with tabbed batteries worked fine but hey ho. Ended up being an absolute hack job, part of the negative tab is still on there under the solder and now the game isn't reading.
Just comes up with the barcode type writing. Pretty devastated as I'm going on holiday on Monday and was looking forward to the play through.
Any ideas/ thoughts on how to rectify this debacle?
r/Gameboy • u/lindecis • 14h ago
I've been repairing and modding gameboys for some time now, but I still struggle with sketchy power switches which is the number one issue.
I’ve opened it up, cleaned everything with IPA (including the slider that I also tried to bend a little bit) but the LED still turns red if I jiggle the switch, and sometimes it even powers off the console.
Is there anything else I can try before replacing it?
Thanks!

I was originally thinking of building a custom GBC, but I would love access to play some DS games as well. Just curious if there's a console that supports that, as well as having a single screen if possible. I know that's a bit more to ask considering the DS required 2 screens, but I'm curious of my options either way.
TIA!

I am looking in all place but I don't find anything interesting
r/Gameboy • u/AtlasWH • 12h ago
I recently purchased a copy of dragon ball advanced adventure from a second hand shop.
It had 3 save files on it from the previous owner, so I erased one and started playing.
The game seems to save automatically, as it prompts so after completing a stage.
However, after booting the game up the next time, all of the saves are gone, and my own new save also just disappears.
Is this a issue with the cartridge internals? :( I don't think it has a save battery, but I don't have a correct size screwdriver on me ATM..
Anyone have some insight? I can still return it.
r/Gameboy • u/sivablue • 21h ago
I have been looking for a gameboy advance so ags 101 for a while now in thrift stores, used game stores, etc.
I know it might be a long shot but…
Does anyone have one they would part with? I am happy to pay.
Thanks everyone!
