Has this been done before or is it possible?
I'm assuming a white backlight would best because it wouldn't stuff up the colors.

It is indeed possible, I just can't seem to find a picture at the moment, sorry!

GBCs I think need to be frontlit. Something about the way the colour lcd works.
You'd want something like this

Apparently it can also be done with a frontlight salvaged from an SP.

Looks like you need to put some insulation tape on the inside of the case or something.

I do too, I also trimmed away the plastic under the COLOR logo, so light would shine through that too.

If i remember correctly it can be done w/ DS front lite kits too..

I was disassembling a gameboy color, and I ended up actually breaking a tiny little piece of the glass on the screen and the screen stopped working altogether, the glass on those things is real thin and fragile.
also in the tutorial it says use AGS-100, not 101, anyone know what the difference is?

AGS-001 is the original front lit GBASP from 2003
AGS-101 is the bright ass Backlit GBASP from 2005
