Re: How to diffuse led light in a gameboy??+Backlight GBPocket
Well, I'm going to have to attempt something of this sort for myself. An LED backlight would be very nice on my GBP. Does it have to be the silver model?
Emulation isn't accurate. There is no substitute for real hardware!

I'm very glad to see others are trying this too. I'm working with EL foil right now, however. More results later on!

Re: How to diffuse led light in a gameboy??+Backlight GBPocket
Not to hijack, but I have another question: how does this procedure work? Here's what I am guessing you have to do (based off reading your posts, which show the finished product and no making-of shots)
1: remove reflective backing on GBP screen.
2: replace reflective coating with light diffuser (from DS maybe?)
3: Place opaque plastic behind diffuser
so you wind up with a sandwich, with plastic on bottom, diffuser in middle, and glass screen on top
And where does the LED go? And I have never had a DS screen apart before, where do I get this diffuser layer from? How do I remove it without damaging it? What's a good way to remove the reflective layer on the GBP screen? It seems a bit too vague for my liking.
