Hi there,
I backlit my MGB a few years ago and happy with the results. The backlight came with a 100ohm SMD resistor already installed and the brightness is perfect when using alkaline batteries. But when using rechargeable the brightness is significantly less. As I want to be able to use rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries; my thoughts are to add a pot in parallel with the 100ohm resistor to be able to control the brightness.
An SMD pot could probably be glued just below the battery cover where the cover clips goes through. A small screwdriver could be used when needing to adjust it,
Has anyone done anything like this?
Thanks for any help.
Hi there,
I have backlit two DMGs now and notice that the alignment of the screen through the screen glass is different on each gameboy. I noticed this before I even did the backlight mods. It is more noticeable once the bivert mod has been done as the position of the inverted dark borders can be seen.
Does anyone know a solution to this?
Hi there,
I have modded my Gameboy Pocket with a white LED that has a 100ohm resistor built in (I could bypass it if I wanted). I am happy with the brightness as I dont want it to drain the batteries too much and I mostly play it outside so it isnt biverted.
My problem is that the brightness of the backlight varies quite a lot depending on the battery state and whether rechargable or non-rechargable. I have not had this problem with my DMG. The solder points are used were at the bottom of the gameboy in accordance with this tutorial :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0PlML-q4Lo
I have since seen other tutorials that use points on the cartridge connectors. Does anyone know if the voltage regulation is better at these points? I am currently abroad and do not have access to test this for myself.
Any help would be appreciated.
Wire them in parallel so the voltage supplied to each LED is the same
Hi there,
I'm looking for some advice on choosing a backlight for my game boy pocket.
I have a clear DMG with an olive green backlight and really like that as it offers the best contrast. I know the MGB has black pixels so the White light would likely be the best for maximum contrast. But I would like my MGB to match my DMG. My issue is that I don't know how much better the White would be in comparison to olive green. If the difference is minimal then I'd probably go for the olive green. I would be adding a resistor to reduce the light and power consumption which would make it on par with the brightness of a game boy light.
Does anyone have experience with white and green lights on MGBs?
Any help would be great.
I downloaded the patchbook app for my iPad a few years ago but looked for it again for my iPhone but was unable to see it. Any news on what has happened to it?

LSDJ does work on Everdrive GB.
But save and load funktion will not work.
That means that it will only hold one song in the sav.
You can have multiple sav files per cart, so you can have multiple ROMs with different sample kits, but you are just able to "store" one song per sav.
Not the best solution, but it kind of works.
Thank you for the heads up, I will stick with my EMS carts at the moment then.
I bought 3 of the first run gameboy color front lights from kitsch bent a few years ago but didn't install them after hearing about poor results. But I have looked into this again and see that with loco glue the results are good. He front lights I have, have small circular bumps on them to help difuse the light as apposed to the ridges on GBA panel lights.
What are the new kitsch bent front lights like? Are the diffusers circles or ridges?
An issue may be that if you have multiple LSDJ Roms on the ever drive it may use the same .sav file for them all. I'd like to know if this was the case before ordering one.
Is it possible to have multiple LSDJ Roms or save files on one everdrive?
Hi there, I am wanting to buy a yellow backlight and bivert IC chip like the one in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pZqBPUSn98 . I think it looks amazing and clear. I haven't been able to see this exact backlight anywhere. It seems to have a green outer edge.
Can anyone shed any light on this matter (pun intended)?
Thank you all for your replies. There are some really sweet designs there. I really like the clear case with white paint inside. I think I may try retrobriting the case I have then changing all the buttons to black and also the screen cover to black. Looks very crisp.
Hi there,
Ive invested in a DMG and looking to change the housing. A strange question but: In your opinion, what is the most professional looking colour of housing? Im planning on keeping it in my studio so want it to kind of match my other stuff. Im cut up between the clear or the black housing. Im leaning more towards the clear. It makes it look like a serious bit of kit.
I know this may be looking into the matter a little too much, but I may as well make the best decision for the colour!
Hi there, I am wanting to update LSDJ so I can use it with Korg volca. But the LSDJ I have on my EMS cart is one that I made lots of custom kits for. As I am currently offshore and not returning home for 2 months, I do not have the original files with me. Only the file I have on the EMS cartridge.
My question is: is there any way to update the LSDJ file and keep my kits?
Hi there. Can you tell me if the pinout you used was the same as the nanoloops setup? I can't seem to find much wiring information for the lsdj to korg volca cable, only a diagram for nanoloops
Thank you for your detailed reply. I don't actually have the USB-midi cable at the moment as I am working offshore. My plan was to remove the internals and USB cord to house the arduino and gameboy link cable. Connecting it all up in a confined space shouldn't be too much of an issue if it is actually possible. I'm an electrical engineer.
I'll look into this further when I get home.
Thanks again
