Game Boy Buttons (NES Style) Our unique, in-house Game Boy replacement buttons are cast using high-precision machinery. These quality buttons take their design cues from the NES controller to bring a different look and feel to your Game Boy. Sometimes the buttons on the device may stick or become unresponsive, requiring replacement. This guide shows how to replace buttons on the Game Boy Color.
Hi everyone, I just started my CGZ but with a GameBoy Color.
These quality buttons closely reproduce the style and feeling of the original hardware, so you can enjoy the same great experiences in a brand new color. Looking to change things up? We also offer NES-style Game Boy buttons with concave A and B button surfaces and arrows on the D-pad. Durable ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) material.
For this mod I want to keep the case as brand new as possible. I will not add any more button. A+B are enough for me, but I'm sure there are enough place to add them. What pieces I got : - GameBoy Color (the blue one) - Raspberry Pi Zero - 2.5 Adafruit TFT Screen. The 3.5 is too big for the GameBoy Color. It can probably fit in the case but you have to move the volume pot and the power switch. - Powerboost 1000 C - Audio amplifier from Adafruit - Speaker from Adafruit
- GameBoy cartridge What I need now : - The battery - Some small stuff like small button for the display, etc... What I don't use : - Teensy LC to keep space
Gameboy Dmg Backlight Mod
- USB hub - More button I did not start as Wermy because I want to be sure every part can work with each other before to cut the case. First Step : The screen So the screen PCB for the 2.5 is not the same of the 3.5. But the chip which should be removed is also on this board at the bottom right of the photo [spoiler='Show me the photo'][/spoiler] So i removed it [spoiler='Show me the photo'][/spoiler] And link the power + ground to old place of the chip, like the tutorial. [spoiler='Show me the photo'][/spoiler] Then I linked everything to the raspberry. But watch out, to link the composite to the raspberry, I had to link the yellow to the square
, and the white to the circle. This is the opposite of Wermy. When I did as Wermy the screen turned on (the backlight) but nothing appeared on the screen. [spoiler='Show me the photo'][/spoiler] And finally, I linked the raspberry to the power and wouuuuuaaa, it works. [spoiler='Show me the photo'][/spoiler] This step is validated for me. I'm already happy. The next step will be the buttons. I think I got an advantage to use a GameBoy Color, because there is a lot of testing patches on the PCB, So I will not have to scratch the PCB
