Here is what I ended up with I've shared process steps and pics also, if you keep clicking along. I put a GB Macro together and had to do something about the rear shell. You can pick up this shell and all the necessary components at the Boxy Pixel Website. ago Hi Everyone Here is a new project I had been working on somewhat recently. So bottom line is, this is a pricey project should you want to do it yourself. This does not include the price of the metal buttons or and IPS kit should you want to install those as well. Getting other essential components will cost about another $12. The shell itself will run you about $142. Now the cost of these shells is another thing to consider. Hopefully Boxy Pixel will offer spare thumbscrews for sale on his website in case one of these scenarios occurs. Use for custom button colors or a Game Boy Macro. Additionally, you do not want it to be too loose as it could fall out and become lost. Cut down the excess top screen hinges and fill in the holes left over with epoxy of your choice. Once fully apart place everything in a plastic bag to not loose any pieces. We need to remember that aluminum is a fairly soft metal, so do not over tighten it or you will risk stripping the threads. Take apart the DS completely but keep the DS bottom screen connected. While it is a fantastic solution, I can see a scenario where the thumbscrew could be lost or broken. By allowing the use of AA batteries as originally intended, the installation process is quite a bit easier since you don’t need to modify the console to be able to use reachable lithium ion batteries.Īnother notable feature is the use of a custom thumbscrew to keep the battery compartment door closed. I think this is a welcome change and I am really hoping that this option also get integrated into some of his older product (CGB and AGB). With the exception of Boxy Pixel’s Unhinged SP and Joy-con shells, which allows you to use the original lithium ion battery they came with, this is the first product released by the company that allows for the use of AA type batteries. Typically, these shells from Boxy Pixel require you to mod the console to accept additional circuitry to use a rechargeable lithium ion battery. One of the most interesting features about this shell is that it allows for the use of 4x AA batteries. One of the long awaited products (at least for me) was a machined aluminum shell for the Original Game Boy, and we finally got it! In addition to the shell itself, Boxy Pixel also sells machined aluminum buttons to replace the original plastic d-pad and 2 action buttons (A and B). ![]() Each and every gaming console is to be preser.

The GBA Micro was surprisingly made a year after the Nintendo DS.Boxy Pixel recently released a brand new machined aluminum shell for the original Nintendo Game Boy. It also doesn't work with the Game Boy Advance cable link. Backwards compatibility with the Game Boy Color was sacrificed in order to make the Game Boy Micro smaller and more affordable. This makes Game Boy Advance games seem to be in HD quality, and prevents reflections on the screen's surface. ![]() Unlike the Game Boy Advance SP, the Game Boy Micro does not have a clamshell design (similar to the original Game Boy). It was designed with a very small screen and a powerful backlight. Unlike the Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP, it does not have backwards compatibility, meaning it cannot play Game Boy Color games, or the original Game Boy games because it lacks the Z80 processor. It is much smaller than any Game Boy, including the Game Boy Pocket, but can still play all GBA games. ![]() The Game Boy Micro is the last of six in the Game Boy franchise and a redesigned (much smaller) version of the original Game Boy Advance and is the final, last Game Boy.
