Looks awesome! I'm going to be doing a big shop at kitsch soon... Going to try the RGBva though... The one where you can change the colour of the backlight with a screwdriver! (here: http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/rgbva# )

Wish me luck!

Did you get your prosound mod kit from kitsch? I couldn't find it....

You don't need a kit, just wire if you search for an internal prosound tutorial smile

This is key. There are variations in game boys both due to changes on Nintendo's end and all the abuse many of these things have been through in the last 20+ years, plus everyone has different tools, different levels of skill, etc. Soak in as much information as you can from as many sources as you can, and be open minded to changing the process as you go. Don't follow any instructions verbatim.

I've quoted it once and I'll say it again, Hemisphere, that's a super clean mod for a first timer, and you have every right to be proud of it. smile

Any tips? (I broke two dmgs in a row(Yes I read the tutorial))

aw no man!
i would reccomend not following the tutorial perfectly. i had to follow a combination of tutorials and then wing some of it (as they do things in different orders) and i had to run wires in different places to make them fit.
the main part is making sure that you solder the right bits to the right bits and be careful.
what part did u have trouble with? the backlight or prosound?
