Led Game mod!!!

Post by banditpaw1 »

you probably want to know what i mean well i will tell you.
i will now show you a fun and easy [yet pointless] way to make your gbc and gba game more interesting! look at my pic! and the game still works!!
http://picture.vzw.com/mi/386955785_133 ... er=2,0,0,0

I know the pic is bad yes its a red led
sorry it was taken from my cell phone

first open the cart.

http://picture.vzw.com/mi/386978964_133 ... er=2,0,0,0

then you will find 2 contacts
the are large gold sqares to the left of the gameand gbc
and small gold squares on a gba

note you will need to find the polarity yourself

then for a gbc/p you will need i 50 Ohm resistor becuse of the five volts

as for thegba it gives 3 volts so go strait to it!!!!

Also light will be off when the game is off

Fun try on games with clear carts for a cool glow effect

p.s this is my firt how to!!!! yay me!!!

I believe all you have to do is solder on to 2 leads, correct? There isn't much to write about.

I can't see the guide pictures! O.o...

Yep, Crystal and Ruby! :mrgreen:

@euddrue: I know, which is why I resisted making one. If you cannot figure it out, chances are, you will kill your cart, and then come and blame me. :lol:

haha, I also did this with Pokemon Crystal, and an EZ-Flash III cart. I've also done it to a couple of DS Lite dust covers. I nicked the idea from someone else (might have been Palmer :) bout 10 months back).

From memory, I think you wire to the 2nd pin from the right, and the last pin on the left, although I would refer to a pin picture :)

I had been trying to come up with a way to add a capacitor to the mix, so that that LED would appear to glow (probably more like flash when the capacitor dissipates) but I forgot about it when I killed my DS Lite. :(

How about drilling a hole in your cart and attaching a 3 volt fan that cools you down during those stressful games ;)
I am a case modder trying to be a portablizer. Will get there one day. :)

Which is why you need to power a peltier effect pad off it. ;)
