Important Notes
•
Do not remove any orange Kapton tape from board/parts. Tape is adhered for electrical protection.
•
Project can either use 4 Gameboy color buttons with silicone button membranes, or you can use
Gameboy pocket buttons (no letters on the buttons) by soldering the optional soft switches. (I personally
prefer the pocket buttons)
•
Save and reuse all original screws.
•

Further important notes will be displayed in RED.
•
Completely turn potentiometer labeled VR1 counter-clockwise, otherwise the screen may appear dimmed
or black. Adjust from there as needed.
Shell Modification
Back shell
1.
Remove back metal plate.
2.
Remove the battery compartment. Leave the screw holes on bottom and the lip around the edge that
catches the compartment door.
3.
Clip off the tab located near the headphone jack, below the battery compartment. Clipping it off flush
should be enough but depending on the case, you may need to trim the area down slightly more if it
obstructs the headphone jack.
4.
Square off the volume port hole by cutting back the sides until it reaches the edges. This will widen the
port hole to accommodate the volume wheel.
5.
(Optional) Remove the plastic tab near the top so that the area is flat and flush with the rest of the case. If
you are not installing the USB port, this step is not necessary.
6.
Install 3d printed cart air vent using the screw posts and screws originally used for the metal plate.
