My GameBoy color
« on: March 11, 2008, 01:56:17 AM »
Hi,
Since I found my 2 GameBoy Colors again, (they were in my closet for about 5 years now I guess :laughing: ) I thought; why shouldn't I mod them? But because this will be my very first mod, I thought of some things.

So this is the plan (for the first one :hifive:):
- 4 rainbow leds
- new paintjob
- Build in a MP3-player
- Custom speakers
- Maybe a custom rear made of stainless Steel (kinda like an I-Pod)

So, does anyone have  some idea's or suggestions?

grtz,
Timmeh_PS3

4 rainbow leds   <<--- nice just find were you can solder them to.

- new paintjob  <<--- what color in mind.

- Build in a MP3-player  <<<--- gameboy color want let you do this unless you have the addon nintendo released.

- Custom speakers  <<<-- what size you thinking of.

- Maybe a custom rear made of stainless Steel (kinda like an I-Pod) <<<-- mite work if you have thing to not let it conflict with the bourd(static)
come to the rite place if you kiss admins as they promote you to admin.

- Couldn't find any rainbow one's so they're Blue now.... And about soldering; http://www.instructables.com/id/LED-Mod-Your-Gameboy-Color/?ALLSTEPS

- Nothing extreme, just a quick layer, it's shine-through Purple now, so I might just darken it up a bit. A thin layer of black perhaps? :cool:

- I'm removing the complete GameBoy-cardslot, It doesn't need to play games anymore :victory:

- About 3 cm. Suggestions? :dntknw:

- Ok, that's a good point, maybe I'll put some rubber or something on the inside of the back, that will work, won't it? :#1:

After all, the LED's are up first, so no worries :huh:

@andy- yes he can, just i would need its fare share of room in the case, and from what i know, gbc's dont have much extra room in them

@timmeh- i think if you look for "rgb leds" then you might find multi-color ones, idk about rainbow but you might find more then just 1 color

- paintjob wouldnt be too hard, just decase, sand, then spray or w/e you have in mind, then usually a clear coat over it

-same thing about the speakers, if you have the room then fit what you can

-but the steel backplate would problly be hardest, seeing as ive never seen one made before, so you'd have to mold it then get the steel yada yada yada
