14 days agoIf you do check out LBP, do know that all of them were delisted and the official servers shut down a couple years ago. Physical copies are plentiful, but the games had tons of DLC. A lot of it was just cosmetic, but there were a few level packs that added new mechanics. Fortunately, it’s not too difficult to find archives and there are custom servers too.
The servers had actually been down for maintenance for months before the shut down was made official. From what I heard it was because someone figured out how to upload malware through custom levels.
This is a really good resource on Game Boy modding and repair..
For my own Color I went with the Hispeedido/OneChip OLED kit. I’m happy with it. I recommend using NiMH rechargeable batteries with it. I get around 5 to 6 hours on two Eneloop Pro AA batteries.

As for the Pocket, you’re probably going to have to cannibalize the part from another unit. I did a quick search on eBay and did see a few working LCDs for around $50 each. That isn’t really a good price since it’s possible to find a functional Pocket for around the same price. Though, it can be difficult to find one without screen cancer these days.
