I wanna see that finished!

the coolest thing about the pocket is its size and weight, and of course it's sleeker look

But their sound (through the built-in speaker) is a lot quieter than the DMG's speaker. Why is that? Lower voltage? Smaller speaker? I never knew why.

It was my very first gameboy and got me interested in gaming. I remember my whole town had this day every year where you put out crap you don't need anymore in boxes in front of your house, and then a truck came and picked it up. It was kind of a tradition for kids to look through the boxes and find stuff. I remember I was digging through my neighbor's box, and I pulled out a blue gameboy pocket with donkey kong land 2 in it. I remember being so excited and running home to test it. The screen was blank, but after about 3 minutes I realized that the contrast was all the way down.  Honestly, i don't remember how i remember this, but I do. XD
I really wish I hadn't sold that gameboy. I realize it kinda has sentimental value now sad

also, i'm pretty sure the pocket has less processing power than a DMG. most of the tracks i write on DMGs end up slowing way down on a pocket, if not crashing.

This. Only an advance or sp can play my songs. All of my dmgs and mgbs slow down and crash. When I release my .savs I wonder how people will react.

This is part of why I have a few Pro-Sound Game Boy Colors around (primarily because I am learning Carillon and want to use Pushpin). My clear purple one is my baby and go-to game boy right now. I also find the screen a lot more readable for general composing, especially in daylight.

The GBA and GBA SP run older games by literally having a small IC that is the entire CGB on a chip inside of the game boy advance—when you plug in an older cartridge, it hits a button in the bottom of the cartridge slot which activates the CGB chip instead of the Game Boy Advance main circuit.

So, in theory, the things you can write which will crash the MGB and even some DMGs will run on the Game Boy Color.

Just something to consider if you're using an EMS flash cart.

I'm working on my perfect, favorite DMG at the moment smile supposed to be über durble

I do not like it as much for playing games, but I can notice a huge difference in sound quality. The DMG beats the pocket into the ground in that department. but the screen is better on the pocket. and the pocket is a sweet size.

so, if I am writing music - DMG
If I am going on vacation or playing Pokemon or Final Fantasy in my downtime - Pocket

Here's a good backlight (I installed one in my pocket, it looks great)

Here's a good tutorial

You'll also need a Tri-wing screwdriver and a small phillips head screwdriver if you don't have them.
