I found my old gameboy color, and I started playing Pokémon gold on it.

The thing is, the screen sucks. I see there are backlight mods and wanted to know if anyone has experience with this.

I’m not sure if all the displays made for the gameboy color have the same resolution.

I can only buy kits directly from China where I live, but the resolutions are not listed. I’m worried it’s going to distort the original image.

    Solid plan - since the DMG runs off 6v instead of 3v it’s a better backlight platform anyway if you’re not doing a battery mod (less need to worry about power regulation/battery life).

    And DMG kits usually just replace the whole display daughter board, so dead easy install, comparatively.

      I was surprised when I saw how simple the upgrade seemed to be. It is also a bit cheaper. I guess it’s because it’s not color display.
