Check out my original Game Boy that I've been modding for the past few weeks!

I'll put all the details in the article 👇


  • New white shell, pink and green buttons and pads. I really like this color combination.

  • Slightly larger than stock IPS LCD display. As shown you can change the color palettes.

  • Glass screen (instead of plastic that the original has)

  • Replaced the audio amp with a much louder one. It gets crazy loud and I usually just leave the volume slider down pretty low.

  • Replaced the speaker with a 1 watt one to be able to handle the extra loudness.

  • Replaced the volume slider dial in order to cut out some of the audio noise that happens when you amplify it.

  • Added a custom battery LED (pink) to match the buttons.

  • New battery pack (much more capacity than normal double AAs). USB charging.

  • Also replaced the power regulator board and recapped it, but that's more nerdy.

I beat Pokemon Yellow on it so far. Took just under 30 hours.

Hope you like it!

Modded a Game Gear! Took a long time, but I'm really happy with the results. New screen, speakers, shell, rechargeable batteries, all that. Even has an FM radio chip in it so that when it runs Master System games, it has better music.

Here we go!

After about 6 months, I started working on my custom controller again for retro gaming!

I designed the PCBs for the analog sticks, got them made, and check them out! They fit in perfectly.

Next step, building out the whole main PCB.

Here's more incredible art that Jolters made for #GameJoltColors25!

My custom-made controller. Click click.

All right, time to place my haul. I need mastery of these stickers.

Process of one of my Pikachu drawings. This is a perfect example of when I start losing myself in art land, but suddenly snap back to basics when I realize "Oh right, I have no time!" You'll see what I mean.

Oof, got three sticker packs and got super unlucky with my drop rates for the star haha. I gotta master them all though!
