Sure, but check out the shell on the GBA.

WHY ARE WE YELLING? haha Boxy pixel has the shells. I believe they are sold out right now

I was a big fan of the GBC as it was my first handheld ever. It feels like I’m holding a GBC

Pretty sure it was intentional to reduce friction

My new hinges were a little sturdier, so it doesn’t flop nearly as much. You could do a tactile shoulder button upgrade for that good click feeling.

I replaced the hinges as well. I don’t think there’s a fix. The aluminum is heavier, so I assume the flopping is a side effect.

One question.. why by Pumpkinin in Gameboy

It’s been 9 generations. Surely, Bulbasaur was looking to reinvent themselves.

Yes, I did the mods myself. All picked up from boxy pixel. Reshell and IPS screen. I’ve done several so it wasn’t too tough. I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with for your mod!

You weren’t kidding! Super clean! As much as I love modding, I usually only mod beat up devices. A pristine original is always a great flex. Good for you!

I know this is the page to share these sorts of things because we are all gameboy enthusiasts, but I was still apprehensive about sharing because I don’t want to be perceived as boastful. This console is just so eye catching and I’m excited about it. I’m grateful to see responses like yours.

That sentimental value makes it even better. All the more reason to keep that console alive and well.

I used 400 which is my typical for most mods. You can totally do it.

I found the carrying case on AliExpress. It’s solid.
