Hey, I just saw this! Interesting video. I wonder if there is any fix for the screen flicker. Maybe some kind of additional pulse generator that just uses the original signal as the trigger or something. Definitely seems like the new screen is much better with ghosting, but the old screens probably used it to their advantage when doing grayscale.
Lmao, GB Boy.
You might laugh, but these were highly coveted from Aliexpress back when they were being sold! Finding one now is extremely hard, since they ceased production, so in handheld circles these still have big fans!
Why were they in demand? Because the only issue with them was that they ran too fast?
That was not the only issue. It has some little sound issues in some games (Tetris IIRC) and the aspect ratio of the screen is wrong.
They were the only cheap and quite accurate way to play your original carts. Since they’ve stopped production the only alternative now is Analogue Pocket I think, and that cost is sky-high
Back in those times, when the screen mods were just biverts, you’d either do that for a modern lit screen, or pick up a GB Boy. Funny name, but they were actually very clever and the only real (almost) 1-1 copy of Nintendo’s own systems
Quick edit
These were fairly universally mocked when they were sold, just because of the name, but now they’re gone everyone is sad they didn’t pick one up!
That’s rather crazy.
