Some years ago I took this pictures in a museum

On the left a deconstructed GameBoy, on the right a deconstructed game cartridge.

It’s really bugging me that this is missing the gray outer border that goes around the screen

Better screen and a rechargeable USB-C battery pack are a must. I still want to get all metal shells for a lot of my older ganeboys.

Wasn't there a metal shell game boy pocket?
