Gotta love a fully modded boi.

All white shell with IPS drop in screen, aftermarket white cart with ez flash jr (and a crystal sticker to finish it off)

That looks sick, how difficult was the process?

It's actually not very difficult but can be pricey depending on what you wanna mod and the tools you need to get. Plenty of YouTube videos that teach you how to do it, and I highly recommend checking some out.

Many IPS screens for the GB/A require extra sanding or removal of plastic internals so that the screen seats correctly.

We need new front lenses that say "Game Boi Color" for units like these that are so awesome.

Can you get the dot matrix effect on the ips screens? It’s a big part of the gba nostalgia for me

Some screens have this as an optional feature. A lot of times they call it something like “retro pixel.”

Ah, very cool, I’ll have to look into it more

Nice! I just got a similarly modded GBA and Pokemon gold to play on vacation 😄 I'm so excited

Where did you buy it out of interested? Not sure I could more this myself but would be intrigued to know how much it would cost to buy.

Etsy. Just search 'modded gameboy' and you'll see plenty of results

Imma be honest. It sounds like you’re describing a hotrod lol

I love it. This is really cool!

Love this, I'm about to attempt my first GBA mod this weekend. Got a bone stock blue one off ebay with a broken screen so going to install a backlit LCD

My custom FunnyPlaying SP build is basically the same - all white everything!
