A question for PalmerTech and Bibin

[banditpaw1]

Which of the gameboy pocket backlighting guides would you suggest?Bibin Made two of them. Also I would prefer to keep my power LED.

They both cost about the same .

One uses a Kit.
The other is done is a fairly hacky way.

Both produce good results.
The Kit will be easier and more reliable.

 

[Bibin]

I suggest the kit. Because it involves a new polarizer it'll look eons better. Even more so if you follow this guide afterwards:

Is there any way I can save my power LED with the kit?

 

[Bibin]

Yes and no. I'm working on a viable solution for the layman.

Hmmm Explain.

ya u just drill a hole in the backlight where the power LED is! so simple!!!

No shut the *Can'tSayThisOnTV* up and leave already.

Sorry to steal the thread but can you overclock mgb's?

Of course. 8 MHz or there about.

yes but wheres the crystal to begin with?

Eh, it's that black rectangle to the left of the big IC. I think, I'm going off memory here. It should have a 4.whatever written on it.
Also, it's vertical and has two leads on the left and two on the right.

Not on GBC nor GBP. it's a 4-pin oscillator.

Oh, I'm not too familiar with all of the names and terminology. If it works, that's all I need to know, really. I'll wait for my academic studies to catch up with my hobby someday, when I learn the difference between oscillators and crystals.

found it lol thanks
