I know nothing of the requisites behind powering a modern LCD, or the difficulty in making the appropriate signal connections from the old old gameboy to modern LCD form factors, but It would obviously be really really cool.

So I guess Im just curious what limitations or difficulties or impossibilities there are to this.

Im not sure if it has gone from schematics to working prototype yet, but it might still be on the drawing board.

The catch is that since the screen is attached to the front PCB by so many contacts it would almost be easier to design a whole front PCB to match the screen (which is exactly what kitsch was hinting at).

I wouldnt say we will see it soon, but I would not write off such a product.

Its convenient if you can hook up to a big screen TV or home theater to show people what you are doing, and you can pump the sound out to a stereo system over the same cable.

CGB version, perhaps Wishful thinking low demand A color screen would require a more-capable CPU, and that would mean there would be a back PCB that would also need to be made.

However, Rolf is not a finished product, more like a plethora of schematics and technical details.

Chances of seeing this come to light will be slim for a long time, Id bed.

CGB version, perhaps Wishful thinking low demand The CGB and the MGB both are single circuit board designs with a separate LCD attached to a smaller ribbon cable that the one found in the DMG.

The somewhat popular frontlight modification for CGB involves removing the frontlight panel from a (hopefully) broken GBA SP, and then installing it into a CGB between the existing LCD and the screen protector.

These sorts of screens by design cannot be backlit with the same method typically used in the DMG and MGB.

The Backlit LCD on the AGB SP-101 was the first of its kind available in a Nintendo handheld to be a truly backlit color LCD.

Afterwards, I believe all of the DS models have used similar screens.

Designing, manufacturing, and selling a Backlit CGB LCD drop-in kit likely wouldnt be impossible; however, conceiving, designing, and manufacturing such a product would far exceed my technical capacity.
