A little late, but one of these bad boys would have gone well with the green color scheme:

Here's the rom in action. So awesome.

So who bought the clear red one?

Nowadays backlights have just two wires to solder instead of component legs. They also connect to the regulated 5v source instead of to the batteries.

You can pick them up from Kitsch, and I sell the ones that he doesn't have in stock.

The damage to the ribbon cable most likely won't be visible. To me, it sounds like the brown ribbon cable under the LCD broke slightly. If you push on it with your finger while it's on, the screen should kind of flicker from normal to distorted. Sometimes fixable, but it's definitely not the backlight causing the problem. It would have happened during the removal of the polarized film/mirror foil.

Yeah, if that panel isn't upside down, they look awful. I've seen those panels around... The installation is extremely outdated and they're overpriced.

The LCD problem is mostly likely the ribbon cable. One of them somewhere. Could be the big white one, or the brown one under the screen. There's a bad connection somewhere. You may need a new LCD. But you may have just not plugged it into the socket all the way.

Dang, I'm too late. If the other deals don't go through, I'm interested.

If you download the Pocket Emulation Collections ( http://www.zophar.net/pdroms/gameboy.html ) of public domain gb roms there are a few roms in there that are essentially slideshows of fullscreen images, might help you on your quest. I tried editing one but this was the best I could do:

This page seems to explain exactly how to do it: http://gbdev.gg8.se/wiki/articles/Displ … een_Images

But none of the .exe files needed seem to work for me, they just close as soon as I click on them.

Hey, that's pretty close!

Wish I could run those tools on my OS. I really want a rom with that graphic...

Haha, man... Your other thread made it seem like you were selling just the breakout box for $160.00. Now I feel bad about giving you a hard time about the price.

Anyway, good stuff.
