Game Boy

Each GB is built from a fully restored and serviced official motherboard. The components used to customize it are carefully selected to ensure you have the best possible gaming experience.

The new shells and buttons are of very high quality and offer a feel close to the original. If you are looking for a specific shell, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss it.

Original shells in good condition are also available upon request. It is possible to mix and match button and rubber pad colors to customize your console.

The IPS is a modern, high-contrast screen with brightness adjustable directly via a dial on the side (replacing the old contrast wheel). It offers several display modes (classic, pixel grid, etc.) and allows for both black-and-white and color gaming, replacing grayscale shades with colors.

Two versions are available:

• The first, the Open DMG Display, is an IPS screen the same size as the original. It stands out for its numerous display options, notably the ability to use official GBC and Super Game Boy color palettes.
• The second is an IPS screen 11% larger than the original. It is also laminated, which prevents dust from getting between the screen and the lens.

Installing an IPS screen can be done on either an original shell or a new one.

Unlike traditional battery mods integrated into the battery cover, the battery mod I install integrates its charging circuit directly into the Game Boy, thus preventing the battery from overheating during charging. It is the only safe battery mod. It also features a "Charge & Play" function, allowing you to play while the console is charging.

The battery offers at least 15 hours of battery life. It charges with a standard 5V charger and a USB to USB-C cable. The USB-C port is located at the bottom of the Game Boy, or on the side if a new motherboard is used. An LED lights up on the side when the battery is low. A charging LED also lights up on the side while charging. This mod replaces the original voltage regulator, which improves power consumption and current stability.

IPS screens can generate audio interference due to their higher power consumption compared to original screens.

The audio enhancement reduces this interference, both for the speaker and the headphone output. It also increases the volume and provides clearer sound thanks to the installation of a new 2W speaker.

The sound improvement, particularly in terms of amplitude, is more significant when a USB-C battery is installed.

Capacitors are components with a limited lifespan. When they stop working, it can lead to various malfunctions. Replacing them extends the console's lifespan.

The RGB LEDs are located at the A, B, START, and SELECT buttons and the D-pad. The installed PCB is Natalie the Nerd's ARC GB. It allows for brightness and color adjustment via button combinations. Several modes are available: static LEDs, dynamic, etc. It is, of course, possible to turn the LEDs off.

This motherboard (Super DMG-01) is manufactured using new components and parts from an original Game Boy (CPU, RAM, etc.). It improves power consumption, battery life, and sound, and significantly extends the lifespan of your Game Boy. If your console is completely out of commission, this board is perfect for bringing it back to life!
