She looked like this when I got her:
Probably my favorite-looking system of all-time.
I still prefer the 90’s-ness of the SNES, but this was a damn-fine looking machine.
I still have mine somewhere but I don’t know if it still works. Sold all modules for it too.
Battery use on these was crazy too.
Crazy in what sense? Very little use or a lot of use?
Edit: why the downvote?
They pulled a lot of energy for what they did. Quite inefficient from today’s view.
Got it. Thanks.
What a glow up! DMG will live on forever. Also solid game choice with DK '94!
Seeing that reminds me of being at my grams house during the summer 💕
Omg so I wasn’t the only one who’s grandparents had an old school gameboy in their house
Well it wasn’t so old school then :P
But I used to play Super Mario Land all the time with my aunt when we were there :)
If you didn’t know, you can easily fix the blank line on the screen. If you take the cover plate off and remove the piece of foam right below the display, theres a line of solder across all the rows of pins. If you take a soldering iron and just run it along the solder line and melt it it fixes the connection.
Already tried that. fixed 4 lines but I couldnt get this one to work again
Ahh darn, it may be possible to drop a bit of new flux on the one spot and solve it. Else the pin is fried, in that case RIPski
Cant see your answer on my instance because I just restored a backup. Dont really want to try doing that flux thing because I dont want to ruin the display
