VIDEO: GAME BOY COLOUR'S GLARING ISSUE FIXED!
The Game Boy Color has had issues with the backlit display and now it has finally been changed with a new hardware mod, which you can see come together in the video from Colin Wirth on his YouTube channel This Does Not Compute.
Colin Wirth used a backlight setup provided by Ben “BennVenn” Grimmett, a longtime Nintendo hardware tinkerer. The mod swaps out the Game Boy Color’s built-in screen for the backlit LCD of the upgraded Game Boy Advance SP, the AGS-101 model, which was released about two and a half years after the original GBA SP’s debut.
With a little bit of soldering and some adjustments to the Game Boy Color's plastic shell, This Does Not Compute was able to add BennVenn's backlighting conversion cable to the Game Boy Color, solving that horrible problem of not being able to see your screen without a direct light source. Just look at how pretty those colours now look with a backlit screen.
Have a look at the video below to see how This Does Not Compute managed to fix the Game Boy Color.
