Frequently asked

Nintendo Game Boy Replica PCB — questions answered

Does this fit in an original DMG case?

Yes — the board uses the original DMG-CPU-01 footprint and connector layout. Drop-in replacement for any 1989-1995 grey Game Boy.

What about backlight mods or IPS screens?

The board supports them — the LCD ribbon is the original 22-pin connector, so all modern IPS kits (FunnyPlaying, Q5, etc.) work.

Built to outlast you.

Every board is hand-soldered by Logan in a Fresno workshop, period-correct components where available, and shipped with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
