The usual way, run Update_FW3.gb and wait till the end or make the update fail, so it gets rolled back to the FW0.How do you upgrade or downgrade the firmware on the GB Boy Color?

Cool, thank you. I had no idea it could even be messed with. Can I edit the boot logo?The usual way, run Update_FW3.gb and wait till the end or make the update fail, so it gets rolled back to the FW0.
He's referring to EZ-Flash Jr. FW LOLCool, thank you. I had no idea it could even be messed with. Can I edit the boot logo?
"Most clone consoles of any form have traditionally worked by basically being a ROM and save dumper"
Does a Game Boy Camera work with this clone? If it does, it's highly unlikely to be a dumper.
"Get a real GBC made by Nintendo"
Nintendo no longer makes and sells an authentic Game Boy Color. Eventually, decades down the line, electromigration will cause authentic GBC hardware to stop working. (It's already been happening to Commodore computers from the early 1980s.) The only long-term solution I can think of is to clone the Game Boy system on chip under a free software license to run on an FPGA.
Yea so use real hardware not a cloneHi. I just installed Kernel 1.05e and Firmware 5 Release Candidate. The GB Boy clone now boots correctly. I only tested Pokémon Red, and there some things go wrong. On the title screen, the slideshow that shows various pokémon left to Red/Ash, these pokémon look like bar codes; also no save game is seen. On a real GB all works correct. Just to let you know.

It needs 2.7 or 2.8V to operate normally. The closer to 3V, the better. Adding a voltage regulator should help.Hi, I just signed up when I saw this message.
What batteries have you used to make it work well in the GB Color (Kongfeng)?
I just received my EZ Flash Junior and with the Game Boy Original Classic it works perfectly, but with the GB Color Kongfeng it works when it wants, sometimes it does and sometimes not.
The few times I get it to work is with two new regular 1.2V batteries.
I have tried two rechargeable batteries of 1.2V each, new, one new and another used or two used and with rechargeable I have never managed to get it to work.
I have the same firmware and kernel (the latest ones).
Thanks a lot!.

The support of clone consoles(none genuine game boy consoles)are not listed in the product features.
but the chinese users find the solution
if the batteries's total voltage higher than 2.8v, the sd init error, and lower than 2.2v, recycle gb boy title
so please try to use a pair full charged rechargeable ni-mh batteries instead normal batteries
Another one?The issue with "GB boy colour" is totally hardware or it can be solved with new ezflash firmware?
In case ezflash firmware could solve the issue why you do not release any patch? Nintendo does not produce "gameboy colour" anymore then gameboy's fan can buy just new clone console.
As far as i understood reading aroud the web the the public interested in this possibility is very large.
yes i'm having the problem and the "solution" about voltage in the range of 2.2 to 2.8 at the moment to me looks like a fairy tales.Another one?
any video or photografic guide about how to add voltage regulator ?It needs 2.7 or 2.8V to operate normally. The closer to 3V, the better. Adding a voltage regulator should help.
