The Game Boy Pocket brings all the power and fun of the original brick GameBoy, but in a much smaller size. Taking 2 AAA batteries, having a higher contrast and faster response screen than the original, this is the perfect console for those who loved the original.
Hand-restored to it's original condition, with a new shell, buttons, screen, boxed making the perfect gift for a die-hard gamer.
We take an original Game Boy Pocket and start by taking it apart fully. We clean the PCB, replace any broken or worn components such as the Link connection, volume wheel, contrast wheel and power switch, and do a full hardware test to confirm good working order is restored.
Next, we replace the old, used and worn shell with a brand new one, along with the rubber contacts and buttons to restore that brand new button press feel.
We upgrade the quiet audio with our CleanAmp system that boosts the sound level and replaces the old speaker with a hyper-loud 1W speaker, pushing the sound to the limit.
Then comes the major upgrade. We install our brand new backlit IPS LCD with on screen display for various effects like retro pixels and color modes, that brings the GameBoy Pocket into the modern age. This will leave you in GameBoy heaven.
Finally, we replace the plastic screen protector with a modern tougher glass screen protector, so your old new console stays newer for longer.
The finishing touch is a boxed and sealed product perfect as a gift for any retro gamer... or maybe even treat yourself?
The new IPS screen comes with adjustable brightness, color change modes, and the ability to move the screen, add retro pixels and more. Touch the top left and top right corners for brightness and color palettes, or use the on-screen display (see second image for how to guide)
