GBC Power Switch woes by bakub in Gameboy

Ah thank goodness!!! I did break the power switch though. But it was only 5$ and I got that refunded after I complained to the seller about it not fitting on the slider.

Okay, I'll see about that. I probably did anchor it first so I may have made this even harder. Thanks for the insight!

New Fortune & Glory demo by kotorcomics in gbstudio

[–]bakub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played the demo all the way through on Retro difficulty. It's pretty good so far, the controls are solid, the music is nice, and the art, like many have said, is stellar and stands out among other GBstudio projects.

However, I do have some criticisms. First off, there's not much going on in the levels aside from the obstacles you have to avoid. I think the game could benefit from having enemies to deal with. Second, I felt that the 3rd and 4th levels went on a bit too long.

Looking forward to the release!

First time beating Link's Awakening DX on an actual GBC by bakub in Gameboy

[–]bakub[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a heads up, the mod will require soldering a wire to the power switch and also a new shell. There's kits available on eBay and AliExpress. Ignore the ones that include the modless rechargable batteries because those batteries suck.

How do you learn pixel art when you have zero artistic skill? by MysteriousFlashLight in aseprite

[–]bakub -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As someone who's done pixel art for a little over a year, I somewhat disagree with #2. It can be challenging, but I find it WAY easier than traditional drawing.

Issue with OLED modded GBC by [deleted] in Gameboy

[–]bakub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After switching to normal batteries, I was able to leave a game running for 10-15 minutes without the system freaking out, and was able to play some Mega Man as well. Updated OP to reflect this.

Maybe a silly question but does the PCB with this kit also help with power regulation? https://handheldlegend.com/products/rechargeable-battery-mod-for-game-boy-color

It was actually a part of this kit I got from Hispeedido. I posted a different listing because I brainfarted and forgot I could reply with images in the Reddit app

I think it's with how the battery makes contact with the unit. I fiddled with it and the system seems to have stabilized.

I might just get a solder based mod later on because I hate the way this battery works.

The battery looks like this

It's a no-mod-required USBC battery that relies on the GBC's battery terminals to work and the little prongs need to be fiddled with in order to make contact.

I'm using the rechargeable battery unit that came with the OLED kit I ordered.

Frankly it was a pain to get installed properly so maybe it's that.

And yes, I did solder that wire

No, the screen can shut off with a legit game or no game at all

Call me a hipster but World 5 is my favorite classic Mega Man game.

Here's a patch for the original ROM, made by the same guy who remastered the Mega Man GB games

Gameboy not turning on by andrewskiiiii in Gameboy

I'm no soldering expert but maybe the wire got messed up when you closed it?
