[jleemero]

Look at the second picture. See the thing sticking out from underneath the screen? That's the light diffusion panel. It diffuses the LED's light to make it even. I have pics and a video, but I think you've seen 'em.

That's frontlit? Uh...I don't understand... :huh:

Well, yes. Frontlit implies that it is lit from the front. This can be contrasted to the conventional backlight, which is in fact a light, originating from the backside, or, as one could put it, the ass.

How it was put in.

Contrary to popular belief, I am not so hopelessly loss that I didn't get that part. :lol2:

Im Just Hoping someone could make a complete guide on how to Front lit a GameBoy Color. :wink3:

 

[eurddrue]

Uh, did you read my reply? I explained it. You can see the panel.
@xX-You solder ground to the lower pin, a 20-60 ohm resistor to the top pin, then put the panel on top of the LCD. Super simple.

Next episode, overclocking

Overclock was successful, video is being uploaded to youtube. 8)

 

[xXPunisher24Xx]

Great! :thumb:

 

[N00BModdr]

Let us know when its on! By the way, if I were to hook up a crystal from one CGB into another in addition to the one it already has, would it overclock it?

 

[xXPunisher24Xx]

Yes it should overclock it.

 

[N00BModdr]

That's what I thought. Thanks! :happy:

Hey Bibin, Is a 16 Mhz crystal oscillator too fast for an original GameBoy Advance?

 

[themadhacker]

It would be impossibly hard to play games since the the GBA's crystal is around 4mhz.

 

[xXPunisher24Xx]

oh, wow lol.

 

[eurddrue]

It would be impossibly hard to play games since the the GBA's crystal is around 4mhz.

It would work just fine I think that the max crystal ever used was 69mhz, used by palmer himself. You're overclocking for pokemon aren't you?

 

[xXPunisher24Xx]

Yup! yes, i am overclocking for Pokemon.
