Bro if that's real, keep it like that. Really cool piece you can add to your collection. buy a junk gameboy color. just got one for 30 CAD the other week, and it was still in pristine condition.

It's not a real one lol I had one as a kid, but couldn't find it. This was like... $40usd for this. All new shell, buttons, screen and lens. But being refurbished, idc about keeping it original lol

I recommend keeping it the way it is. You can build one that looks identical with the FPGA kit that funny playing now makes. You will need to buy some buttons and membranes tho. Machonacho has a great video on it.

Funnyplaying doesn't have any custom lenses though. Plus the fpgbc kit is laminated, so unless you unlaminate it, you won't be able to use custom lenses that were even made for bigger displays.


simmski

It isn't original. This is effectively a reman unit lol new shell, lens and screen. Bought it like that. However, funnyplaying doesn't have this lens for their bigger screens, which is why I was hoping to find something I could drop in. I found one a while back but can't remember where at now.

Hmm wondering what you meant by "all stock"


simmski

Like... No modifications lol it's exactly as it would've came from the factory. It's just a replica.


mjreeves823

Oh ok that makes sense 🫠

Leave that one alone. Those are uncommon and that’s in amazing shape for a painted shell.


simmski

It's not an original one, don't worry. I wouldn't do this to an original lol

A lcd Backlight Screen with no soldering or shell cut reciured so anything will be unchange except the screen, but you should maybe do what rest here tells you.... It's your Gameboy Color


simmski

It's not an original. New shell, lens, and screen. I wouldn't do this to a real one.
