    Has anyone here tried the Funnyplaying V2? What about Blackberry Display? Is that new as well? Give me more info please :D Maybe a video link would be great!

    Hardware GBA Backlight! (AGB-001)

    Hmm it’s a pity that you can’t get the centered lens anywhere else. Did you already get your kit? Maybe we can just use regular GBA lenses? I don’t want to install it offset and I’m easily able to print the cantering bracket. I just need something to cover the display after it’s installed :D

    Thanks a lot, I’ll order one then! I have a new shell anyway so that’s not an issue. I also have a 3D printer for the bracket so that it’s cantered. AliExpress has some offers for under 40€ including shipping. I guess that’s fine and you don’t necessarily have to buy from RetroModding right...

    Hardware GBA Backlight! (AGB-001)

    Hi guys, sorry for not replying, I had practically no time for retro modding or gaming lately, but now I do I ended up getting a refund for the money I paid for the 101 screen and could keep it. It hasn't bothered me a lot since it's just 1 dead pixel and I didn't have much time to play, as...

    Hi guys, so my screen arrived today and it actually worked out of the box without even soldering the wire, though I did it anyway. Image is crisp, bright and with great colours imho! I took the attached photo trying to get it as close to original as possible, so you can judge :-) For now I don't...

    Hardware GBA Backlight! (AGB-001)

    I just found people on Reddit claiming a lot of issues with the Aurora! [reddit] /r/Gameboy/comments/a1ltm1/aurora_gba_101_mod_cable_from_aliexpress_ist/ Did anyone here try it yet? By the way, this (attached image) is what I bought and the adapter looks similar to what the sellers that were...

    Thanks about the info on the source of the "brown cables". I heard about that adapter. Something that I really like about it is that you don't have to bend the screen's ribbon if I see it correctly. Bending / folding it was something that I've always been a bit concerned about. This looks...

    Hardware GBA Backlight! (AGB-001)

    Hi guys, I have a GBA where the model number starts with a "0" (40 pin) and ordered a screen with white connector earlier today :cry: I read that in some cases, it worked just fine, so I really hope that it does since I don't really want to cut and solder wires to the ribbon cable. Actually, I...
