I used to track with the "hacked" LSDJ inverted rom, it was better without the backlight, dunno now.

But since the newest versions of LSDJ has that option, is stupid to do this.

you can invert the theme colors within newer versions LSDJ, (or hack the rom like nitro posted a while ago). and put a not inverted polarizing film. the kitsch backlights work really great in all lights; on direct sun i just can't see the backlight color but the screen keeps reflecting the light, not as much has the unmodified gameboy but is pretty good.

i guess there's no need on using the inverted film if you can change it in the software.

or try inverted film+inverted theme, something like "hybrid biverted" maybe work nice.

Why didn't anyone move it to the right section section yet?

I have a ledx3 and it works nice in daylight, but even better in the dark.

this was never an issue before because chip musicians generally dont see sunlight.

/obligatory

I was wrong it seems but I have no sunlight to test. Well played.

Got them from Nonfinite maybe 2 years ago. I'll check the polarization to see if you're right but from what I remember it was dark in both orientations and I have it not inverted right now.

Where did you get the polarized film and/or kit? Other colors do exist, but I don't know any suppliers that sell them. I'd like to try some out.

Yes, I know, thanks again.

If you have the contrast dial in the right place, you can make a blue inverted backlight look like it's in the normal polarized position.

Nope but good try.

Blue was inverted, red was normal

All I know is I had 2 distinctly different polarized films with my 2 backlights (blue and red). Blue was super dark, red was light. Just speaking from experience.

The polarized film is generic and not color specific.

rlock999,

Is the polarized film in the 'inverted' position? When your DMG is off, the screen will be a dark blue color.

The downside to the backlight modification is the mirror foil is removed to allow light to shine through the LCD. The mirror foil is what makes the screen more visible in daylight. The backlight mod is geared towards people who use their gameboy at night and play gigs. If the polarized film is in the normal position, it's much more visible in daylight. If it's in the inverted position, it's more difficult to see.

I installed the RGBbb backlight kit from kitsch-bent myself and got a similar result. First I installed it to be red, then after turning it on, noticed I can only see it well in the dark, or if I look at the screen from a certain angle (from the top, looking down). Then I changed it to white and it looks great now, day or night.
