They'll probably fit fine with some modifications.

Very cool. I'd love to see comparisons as my current fav are the project GB backlights. I'd love to see more colors as well, I lurve me some purple and pink.

We didn't do purple/pink because the results are pretty awful, there's a huge loss of clarity. If there's any demand for it, it may be included in the next run, given we do another one. But out of all the commissions I've had in the past, only one person wanted a pink backlight.

I've used ProjectGBs panels in the past. I purchased three from him in total, two of which had bad LEDs (Or possibly burnt out LEDs from connecting to an unregulated source). Since they connect to the unregulated power LED source, they turn off completely once the batteries get to a certain point, our panels don't do that.

So for anyone who purchases a panel: Do not connect them to the power LED source, you'll either damage them or blow them out. They're supposed to be connected to the 5v source so that they don't dim with the batteries.

Do you have a soldering iron? Real easy fix, and you won't need to sell it as defective. Sounds like who ever did the mod wired it backwards, or else one of the wires popped out.

I think the rule of having to list a price is just to avoid people from coming on here just to appraise their items.

It is a rule that you're only supposed to have one for sale thread at a time, however. Not three.

Re: (MOVED) FT: Modified GameBoy Color (14 replies, posted in Trading Post)

If you're in it for money, you're going to be very disappointed. You can be stocking shelves making 20 times the amount of money you'd make from gameboys. I'm currently down around 1k from the amount of money I've invested into my mod service.

I recently did a mod that took me around a month to finish, but I sold it for $130. Realistically, it should have been around $400.00 for how much work I put into it, but you can't ask someone to pay that kind of price for a gameboy.

It's pretty pretentious to question someone's pricing. I hate when people do it to me, so I didn't want to say anything. Just, you really need to use the proper tools to be selling for that price. Otherwise you're going to have very angry customers leaving you negative feedback and demanding a refund.
