I modded all of my gameboys. I love the AGS-101 screen mod on the GBA, and the backlight mod on the DMG. I was kind of underwhelmed by the front-light mod on the GBC though and overall I consider it as having been a bit of a waste of time and money. It's very difficult to install without any dust or other visible imperfections, and even with LOCA gel the results are very washed out and underwhelming. I have since acquired a GB Boy Colour and that is currently my go-to option for GBC games.

DMG mod is GOAT. GBC front light mod is generally disappointing though.

Good thing I'm not you and I don't give two shits about your feelings.

Here's all of my modded Gameboy systems. I also have a frontlit GBA SP that isn't really all that remarkable. I'm torn on whether or not to get a Gameboy Pocket. I think they're neat but I'd really only be buying it to be a completionist, since I prefer the DMG model, although they're not very expensive at least.

For my next projects I've got my sights on the Game Gear. I'm going to recap my childhood GG, and then either mod it with a McWill screen or buy a blue GG for the mod. If I get a modded blue GG I'll probably put an LED backlight in the old black one.
