This plastic tool made with a 3D printer will help you make a perfect hole in your Game Boy Color shell. It works as a template, helping you drill the hole precisely where it needs to be. By using a rotary tool, such as a Dremel, you can move the drill bits around the hole in the plastic tool, which will create the same hole on the shell. Watch this video to better understand how it works. FEATURES A plastic tool printed in PLA with a layer height of 0.2mm. It may be usable more than once if you use the appropriate drill bits. INCLUDED 1 x USB-C Cutting tool (Random color: Gray or Black) REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED) Two screws like those included with the GBC shell, just for holding the cutting tool in place during the cutting process. A rotary tool like a Dremel with drill bits or diamond burs for cutting the hole. DOCUMENTATION Article on giltesa.com GitHub repository

The Game Boy Color USB-C Charging Kit PRO is a new circuit designed specifically for the Nintendo Game Boy Color. This all-in-one circuit includes not only the charging controller but also a boost converter and audio amplifier. Modern IPS displays with backlighting require more power than the original display, and flash carts used to load numerous games can quickly drain the battery. To truly enjoy the games, it is recommended to use a rechargeable battery instead of AA batteries. However, simply using a rechargeable battery is not sufficient. The increased power consumption puts a strain on the original electronics, potentially causing noise in the speaker or headphones. The typical solution is to add a charging circuit for the battery and a power converter to replace the old, inefficient one included in the GBC. Some individuals also add an audio amplifier to enhance the sound quality of the speaker. All these modifications make the GBC function optimally. However, installing them requires numerous cables and may be challenging for individuals without sufficient knowledge. Typical installation of the 3 modules: Photo by Sascha This board adds all these features with a clean and straightforward installation: Board version 3.1 FEATURES Exact shape for Game Boy Color. Li-Ion battery charger via USB-C with overvoltage and undervoltage protection. DC to DC converter with 5V output.

The Game Boy Color USB-C Charging Kit is a circuit that allows you to charge a Nintendo Game Boy Color via USB-C and use a Li-ion battery instead of AA batteries. This kit includes two boards. If you want an easy installation, the main board is sufficient and doesn’t require any additional cables to function. However, if you want to have the status LEDs in the same place as the original status LED, then you will need to solder the second board and connect both with 3 cables. You can choose the best option for you. FEATURES Exact shape for Game Boy Color. Li-Ion battery charger via USB-C with overvoltage and undervoltage protection. Integrated LED indicators on the main board, next to the USB port, for charging the battery (red) and full battery (green). These can be disabled via the SJ1 jumper. External LED indicators board for playing (white), charging the battery (red), and full battery (green). Optional installation. INCLUDED 1 frame board, which includes the two boards: charging and light. 1 battery cable (with JST SH1.0 connector) 1 two-wire cable for connecting the light board. 1 light diffuser pipe. REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED) Li-ion battery Philips #00 and Tri-wing security screwdrivers Cutting pliers Cutter Tweezers Soldering iron Tin Flux Isopropyl alcohol Cutting tool (optional) NOTES This module has been designed to be used with the console’s original voltage regulator, as it supports an input voltage range between 2 and 4.6V, and the battery kit provides a voltage between 2.75 and 4.2V. If you also want to replace the original power supply, it’s important that it is compatible with the voltage provided by the battery kit; otherwise, you may damage the console. Since version 1.7, the shape has changed, but the features remain the same. The battery connector has been moved to a place where cutting the plastic shell is no longer necessary.

The Game Boy Pocket USB-C Charging Kit PRO is a new circuit designed specifically for the Nintendo Game Boy Pocket. This all-in-one circuit includes not only the charging controller but also a boost converter and an audio amplifier. Modern IPS displays with backlighting require more power than the original display, and flash carts used to load tons of games can quickly drain the battery. To truly enjoy the games, it is recommended to use a rechargeable battery instead of AAA batteries. However, simply using a rechargeable battery is not sufficient. The increased power consumption puts a strain on the original electronics, potentially causing noise in the speaker or headphones. The typical solution is to add a charging circuit for the battery and a power converter to replace the old, inefficient one included in the GBP. Some individuals also add an audio amplifier to enhance the sound quality of the speaker. All these modifications make the GBP function optimally. However, installing them requires numerous cables and may be challenging for individuals without sufficient knowledge. This board adds all these features with a clean and straightforward installation:   FEATURES Exact shape for Game Boy Pocket. External power through USB-C.(1) Compatibility with all types of USB cables or external batteries. Li-Ion battery charger with overvoltage and undervoltage protection.(1) Power DC converter with a 5V output.(2) Safe charge and play. Audio amplifier for the speaker. Integrated LED indicators on the main board, next to the USB port, for charging (red) and full battery (green). These can be disabled via the SJ1 jumper. External LED indicators board for playing (white), charging (red), and full battery (green). Optional installation. (1) The USB-C port and Li-ion battery require trimming of the shell. (2) Provides stable power to your Game Boy, IPS screen, and flash cart. However, it doesn’t supply the -19V rail, which means the stock screen or the GBP IPS screen that adjusts brightness through the contrast wheel will not be able to change the brightness level and will remain at its maximum level. INCLUDED 1 frame panel which includes the three boards: Main board. USB-C board. Light board. 1 battery cable (with JST SH1.0 connector) 1 two-wire cable for connecting the light board. 1 single-wire cable for connecting the board to the sound pad. 1 light diffuser pipe. REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED) Li-ion battery New 8Ω 1W speaker (optional but highly recommended to avoid noise, for example, this one) New capacitors (optional but recommended to avoid noise) Tri-wing and Phillips screwdrivers Cutting pliers Cutter Tweezers Soldering iron Tin Flux Isopropyl alcohol NOTES The stock screen is not compatible with this module; only IPS screens will work with it. The contrast wheel doesn’t function because the -19V rail is not provided by this kit. This means that the GBP Retro Pixel IPS screen is unable to adjust its brightness. This board is recommended for IPS screens with a touch sensor designed for brightness control.
