Re: is retro computing going to be viable in the future (28 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Just think for a second about the everdrive 64. totally modern flashcart, that is able to hold the entire library of games on a single SD card. It uses modern technology to get the best out of original hardware. It's main component is the FPGA that it has. almost ever part on a "retro" computer can be replaced except the proprietary stuff. but what is nice is tha modern chips like FPGA's can emulate this old hardware perfectly. aren't there already gameboy cartridge FPGA's... I swear I saw a video on YouTube of a guy that had one running into the cart slot and was running games on it. I don't see a reason why you couldn't replace an entire DMG motherboard with a single FPGA, and likewise get a replacement LCD made. One with a backlight built in, and black instead of blue. I don't think retro hardware will ever wear out, I think the components that can't be replaced straight up will be replaced with emulation. emulation does not feel the same when it's not on hardware (like project 64 for example) but I don't care about the emulation the everdrive64 does of the cart so that I can play all of mh favorite games on my actual n64

Re: What happened to all of the 8bc projects? (45 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I've read that post and it doesn't really cover the whole story. I was impressed by the design of the standalone cart, but I think he could have made it known that it was based off of another design. The improvements on the design I think made it original enough to sell, but maybe the code should have been re-written.... That was a huge moment in the community, and that blog post barely covers all that went into it. if nothing bleepbloops look really sexy, and are still generally loved. Until the doaheaps cart. which is all original. Play ball

Uh the only clear pocket I have left is a non power led type. and I can't find the screen covers without the led hole. I have some SMT LEDs on the way I'll see if one of them can mount on its board. Pm me for my info. here's the most recent pocket I did for someone. I was really pleased with how clear the screen was (might have to bivert me a pocket soon):

Re: Maize Mods (150 replies, posted in Trading Post)
So here I have a new beautiful inverted DMG (can make bivert for 15$ more, but easier to run lsdj inverted) anyway price is 115$ shipped. (or trade for bleepbloop cart and flasher, or smartboy cart and flasher). can ship worldwide for extra, can get exact shipping quote. The LCD holder has been removed to decrease stress on LCD, no color spots. Backlight is a kitsch vc gen 3 led backlight in white. red NES buttons all contacts cleaned and super responsive. no battery corrosion. overall b+ in case condition because there are no pronounced scratches/dings. speaker is clear. can prosound but this gameboy was designed for writing not recording, easy mod though.

Did you reinstall the film?

Re: vb backlight help (8 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
The darker side has to be towards the screen, what it sounds like is no polarization film, but these backlights come with the film. Try flipping your backlight around.

Maybe the cart is locked on one of the pages. Try burning the same rom to both pages.

Re: Front lighting a color Help? (4 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I don't think it touches the power led at all, I believe the was only with older style backlights. I've frontlit a few gbcs now and would say that I really hate doing it. it's extremely hard to solder the Little ribon cable, if you don't solder much. This is by far the best DIY guide for this:

Topic: Bleep bloop led application (0 replies, posted in Software & Plug-ins)
Does anybody have the application that was released that made it so v1 carts had the red led on while the gameboy as turned on. It also made the computer recognize the cartridge as a "USB bleep bloop gameboy cartridge"
