/vr/ - Retro Games

So I am getting ever so closer to modding my ultimate Gameboy Color. This is my childhood GBC, although it was originally in a very beaten and battered purple case, and then a "new" purple case that I wasn't terribly impressed with.

I picked up this authentic kiwi green shell on eBay, and it was in decent shape aside from discolored scuff marks on the front and top, which I sanded away with my fine grit hobby sandpaper. There's a world of difference between a real GBA shell and one of those crappy knockoffs in terms of how solid it feels and how well it fits together.

The plan for the mod is to have an LCD frontlight install + LOCA, a glass screen lens, and a GBAmp3 to make the speaker louder. I'm also going to give the shell a good washing and polish it up with some Pledge.
