After buying the Board, the case, membranes, and buttons, you're probably looking around $85 for a USB c rechargeable Gameboy with a ips screen. Not a bad value.

So is this pretty much an Analogue Pocket with a less good screen?

No, the analogue pocket does multiple systems and with shipping is going to cost close to $300. This is basically a Gameboy color with those mods and no electrolytic caps.

Edit: also no SD card, so just a pure GBC implementation to read og carts or everdrives

Got it, thanks. Still a cool project but I'd love a Pocket

[–] v1605@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I agree, I don't see this as a competitor to the Pocket, more like a cheaper alternative to a modded GBC

Can it drive higher res screens?

[–] v1605@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't expect it too. The screen should be exactly the same as their other ips mods.
