gbc question

It is not that it is time consuming, but so much of it is just walking around, long animations and waits for attacks. Overclocking makes it into a whole new game!

Eggz hatch faster = win. Actually, I'm about to overclock, but I cant find a crystal.... maybe one of these from my old n64 would work?

SS we must think alike because I was considering doing this same mod on a gba, except putting in a switch, and putting a backlight in, although i'm told you can't led mod it by schmellyfart.

well you can put a light in it, but I think LEDs would probably take up too much room. If you want a light (frontlight, actually, but its behind the screen protector), look into getting yourself an afterburner. or there's something called the Halo or something like that, that actually replaces the screen protector and plugs into the port on top.

I didnt do a switch, but I did install a new crystal. You can front light it, I have been thinking about doing that, I have a frontlight left over from my old sp.

We need someone to manufacture a new screen, with a backlight.

Rip as much off as you can, then solder the new one on. Mine kinda crumbled apart, too, and I just got enough off to solder to the pads below it.

I thought about doing what you did, but decided it didnt work. well, on to my other gameboy

well, I overclocked the broken gameboy and it works (kinda). i broke a few of the small parts off near the crystal, so now the games work only once in a while. sometimes the games are glitchy, like last night ,I was playing link's awakening dx, and whenI came to the menu all the files had full hearts and blocky messed up names.

Do you guys know what a vise-grip is? I think it is brand name, but on a farm that's what we call it. It worked just fine to get the crystals off a computer mobo.

we have vise grips, but i didn't think about using them until you posted

Which ones? My radioshack didn't even look for me, I was given a resounding no.

well I got mine off of an old gateway mobo, and I have 3 more crystals, Ive got 14.318, 14.3,25, and 24.5 mhz I'm still debating which one to use, and then I will sell the rest on here, and hacker, the vise grip works to get the ones I listed, I don't really know about the one on a gbc.
