All the displays I’ve mentioned so far are extremely common throughout the vast majority of electronics out there. Except for the original model DS (NTR, not USG), all Nintendo consoles made after the AGS-001 use backlit transmissive displays.
The second model of Game Boy Advance SP, the AGS-101, uses a backlit transmissive display because it no longer reflects natural lighting but allows light to pass through it from the light panel behind the LCD. The first SP model, the AGS-001, is a frontlit reflective display because there is a light panel in front of the screen that provides light to the reflective display.
Starting with the Game Boy Advance SP, Nintendo started including internal lighting in the screens. This means that behind the screen is a reflector that is used to reflect natural light back into your eyes for the purpose of illuminating the screen.
Do an internet serach of the bolded terms for more information.Įxcept for the Game Boy Light, all Game Boy consoles before the Game Boy Advance SP (and even technically including the earlier model) use passive reflective displays. I would like to spend a quick few minutes discussing them, if nothing else, to give you proper terms to go research.

There are several different types of LCDs used in Game Boys and these mod kits. Newer options tend to be closer to the bottom with similar options grouped together for ease of comparison. The order of options within each section is largely arbitrary. If you find yourself building a new Game Boy for every new kit, you’re probably not in it for the games, are you? The purpose of this page is to document the different offerings and the primary differences between each item, not to create a hierarchy of options to dismiss the inferior kits. Sure, the new kit from funnyplaying may have this cool new feature but it does NOT invalidate your existing build.

For some kits this means full brightness control or hiding the edges of the LCD panel with a new lens but for core functionality, soldering is (usually) not required.įinally, if you’re using this list as a vector for picking “the best”, you should understand that the “the best” console or kit or whatever will always be the one you already have. Any field that has “recommended” in it should be interpreted as “yes” if you want the full experience with all features. You should check out the notes below or the full video for more information but it should be pretty easy to understand. I also added a chart to be used a quick summary for the kits. If you’re new to the hobby and just looking for a recommendation on what you should get and find that this document is information overload, just pick your console (new there too? Look at a GBA or GBA SP) and just stick with the summary at the top of the section.Įach system section has a summary with my recommended kit listed there. I also ramble quite a bit so I figure that limiting myself to just text and a few pictures here and there will let me try and succinctify myself a bit. I did actually end up making a video on just the GBC portion of this but it’s pretty old and obsolete now. I feel like that gives me a rather unique perspective on these things. I, /u/Admiral_Butter_Crust or makho on discord or youtube, own nearly every backlight kit on the market right now for pretty much every console. A new kit does not invalidate your prior build. Want a custom build? Different LCD color? Shell color? TV-Out? Send your request through to my email and we'll see what we can do.The best backlight kit is the one you already have. Shipping fee's will vary depending on your location.
The LCD panel is secured to the front PCB meaning you can easily remove it to customize buttons etc. The LCD is running the latest firmware and hardware mods. There are no marks, dirt, fingerprints etc on the LCD and the front half of the case has been CNC cut for a perfect straight edge.
