Sometimes it is quite nice to revel in memories. Back to the good old days of our childhood where life was so easy. At least I have those retro feelings from time to time. This time I decided to follow these feelings and take back a part of my childhood. I wanted a Game Boy again. A real Game Boy, not a fake one or any of those emulator handhelds.

Fortunately the Game Boy is still very popular and has a strong modding community. After some research I found a sufficient IPS display mod as well as a replacement case that doesn't need modifications to fit the new display. As most users were also very impressed by an audio mod kit I also wanted to give it a try. There are a hand full of different mod kit providers out there and a lot more if you want to look at eBay or Aliexpress. But as some users noticed a lot of quality ups and downs I decided to go with the parts from retrosix. After a few days all parts arrived and I could finally start. The updates are all very easy to install. The display doesn't require any soldering. Optionally brightness control cables could be soldered to the shoulder buttons. The audio mod kit includes an amplifier and a new speaker. The installation in general is simple, but since the soldering points are sometimes very small, maybe this should not be your first soldering experience.
