    DMG-01 Backlight plus Hex inverter mod , worth doing ?

    Hi

    Im debating if i should do this mod or not , is it worth it ? im worried im going to destroy my gameboy lol , peeling the screens film off and cleaning is the bit im most bothered about

    I take it the solder job is not overly difficult

    Cheers

    If you intend to play it in poorly lit situations, or at night sure. Otherwise, not really.

      The screenshots ive seen of yours and mmmonkeys look really good though.

      Did you find it easy ?

        What an excellent looking mod, using the white LEDs gives it such a nice finish. Tempted to buy a GB just to mod it now.

          Wow, I had no idea you could mod Game Boys in this way. Can you do the Pocket in this manner too? I love the Game Boy Pocket.

            It wasn't exactly difficult. I've done a couple now too.

            You can but erm...



            Nintendo already did it for you! And the Light accepts 2x AA rather than the abysmal 2x AAA of the Pocket.

              I'm aware of the Game Boy Light

              Still, the GBL uses indiglo-style lighting and costs a ton. I imagine a modded Pocket would be better.

                The coverage of the third party solutions pales in comparison to the Light in my opinion. I'm really quite OCD, so it used to bother me.

                  Are those GB lights expensive then ?

                    Hmm. Admittedly I've only ever seen the Light in photographs.

                      They can be.

                            Well I finally got my DMG modded , I bought the parts via the link on mmmonkeys site and ebay. I wasnt confident doing the mod myself so sent it to shaun at gameboy mods uk , well ive got it back and the mod looks fantastic it really makes a big difference but there is a slight problem, it has a small dark mark/smudge in the middle of the screen which gets worse the darker I make the contrast which is really annoying.

                            Ive tried emailing shaun but havnt got a reply , does it sound sortable ? Or does the screen sound borked

                            Cheers

                              Sounds like a LACK OF CARE on the modders part. Some people should have more pride in their work.
