Just got an Everdrive x7 to finaly enjoy Pokemon Crystal romhacks, I forgot just how comfy and wonderful the GBC is. What are you guys playing on yours?

And to the people who get a glass screen mod, is it worth it? I've heard glare and coloration can be an issue with one.

Pokemon isn't that slow unless you're an impatient Zoomer. But even then, with the disassembly you can make the experience much faster by fixing up bugs in the code.

What are some good ones Op? Interested in playing something that isn't just "yet another pokemon game" , or maybe in challenging hacks.

Mario Picross 2, it's peak comfy puzzle game. I've been playing it every day on my breaks at work. The first is good also, but I feel 2 is a bit better. I've fully solved the puzzles on 1 and about 55% on 2.

GBC is such a comfy and good looking system, it's too bad retards rip the screen out and put in undersized China lcds.

OP you should go for the glass cover if your plastic one is scuffed up, it makes a big difference and is non destructive/reversible.
>>5887428
The SP is the best unmodded option for playing real Game Boy cartridges, but if you're not using cartridges I think the 3DS is the best emulation option.
Pic related is my backlit pocket's LCD. I recommend people don't do this mod since it's easy to botch, unlike buying a GBColor LCD like >>5887510 did. If you really want a backlit GBP and you don't already own solder supplies and a GBP, it will probably be cheaper to buy one pre-modded from some dog fucker on reddit.

>> No.5887657

>>5887602
That's true, but I meant as far as restoring the rubbed off "O" before something like that wouod take place; though "HELL KITTY" is pretty cool, I suppose.
Keep in mind, I'm pretty sure this particular GBC is pretty damn rare.

>> No.5887662

>>5887657
I got it pretty cheap because of the defect. Not sure how I would go about restoring the O to HELL KITTY or if I even feel the desire. I'm not sure of the legitimacy of this statement but according to https://consolevariations.com/variation/console/gameboy-color-hello-kitty-special-edition this model was a special 2008 release of the console and only 2000 were made to begin with so I'm a little protective of it. Kept the original LCD so that I can always revert it back if I ever wanted to sell, but I love it so I doubt I ever will.

I've been playing it in sessions for about two and a half weeks and haven't had to swap to my spare batteries yet. Battery life seems decent, but of course it drinks them harder than the normal screen sips


>>5889172
The aspect ratio is accurate, but the screen is very slightly smaller than the oem screen so it's not exactly the same. Here's what it looks like before applying the new lens. All the backlit gbc screens are like this, which is why lenses with slightly thicker borders are widely available.

>atomic purple GBC

Based.

I've been thinking about getting an Everdrive, but I don't really know how often I'd actually use it. Is there any good GBC homebrew stuff?

>> No.5889501

>>5889439
If you want a GBC everdrive, the main reason you would do it is for Pokemon romhacks (which is in a very good place since there's disassemblies of the Pokemon games), or just having multiple versions of Pokemon without shelling out the cash for the games (no compatibility with Stadium but you can still trade with official games and what not). There's also translations or decensor patches if you're into those, like Pokemon TCG 2, or the GBC version of Donkey Kong Land 3, or uncensored Link's Awakening. If those, and the desire to play on real hardware with (some) compatibility to things like Game Boy Printer, there you go.

I don't know the exact specs, but it looks pixil perfect. The only difference I've come across is the size. There is another chinese mod sold on taobao that supposedly has problems. I've been playing the thing daily and have had nothing at all to complain about. Actually now I think about it, adjusting the screen's brightness to anything other than full brightness or off creates a whining noise in headphones. That's the worst of it though, it's a quality mod.
