Solar Powered GBC

[someone406173]

I've been lurking around here for a while before I made this account, so hi everyone!

Anyways, here's the result of my first attempt into actual console modding/soldering. Did this mostly because I was inspired by the thread below, and I had an extra GBC to do this.

I finished it about an hour ago after two hours of what could be considered as a hack job with soldering, and it looks like it's working so far (drained the batteries, and powers up for a few seconds after a few minutes of "charging").

Have you checked to see if it truly charges the batteries? You can usually squeeze a few more minutes out of "dead" batteries if you let them sit for a bit. Drain it and leave it in the sun all day, if you can play for at least 30 minutes, I would say it's charging correctly.
Congrats on finishing a project.

Fail.

More on topic, I think this is pretty sweet Yeah, if you can still put in or charge batteries (for indoor use) Then that would be champion!

Hey, a mod said it belongs here, because it does. So shut it.

Solar Panel is on the bottom of the handheld Would be cool if it was on the top and you could charge while playing.

I wouldn't exactly say that calls for a facepalm... but a solar panel that flips up would be really cool.
