My first successful mod! Backlit Gameboy Pocket.

So after previously messing up a DMG screen, I searched out for another gameboy to potentially ruin. Got this clear MGB and surprisingly did right! Well, apart from having it inverted. I had several heart attacks putting the case back together so I dont have the heart to fix the inverted thing tonight. Ah well, still fun to play for now! (Do I rotate or flip the polarizer? I dont quite remember.)

Thanks for looking and thanks for all the input in chat from you guys.

PS I would have routed the wires to the left of the dpad, but the shrink tubing was too thick to fit. Works fine all the same.

Inversion is awesome. Personally I wouldnt fix it. I love my ivnverted japanboy.

But if you must, rotate the polarizer once in either direction and it will be fixed.

Haha, yeah I would keep it inverted if I was just playing puzzle games and such, but in Zelda it just doesnt look right. Thanks man.

You get used to it. I didn't like playing pokemon inverted, but it grows on you and starts to look better and better. Good job by the way. It looks pretty clean.

I went ahead and flipped it around. Its pretty dope. And thanks!

Orange is the best color for a backlight

Orange gets the best contrast. Period.
