So, I've just found a DMG-01 Gameboy at the local bootmarket. Couldn't resist and had to get it as I always wanted one as a kid. It cost a whopping £1! Shame, it's filthy though, some type of dirt has got inside so have to buy a tri-wing screwdriver to get inside to clean it.
Aaaanyway, as I don't have any games yet, if I put the batteries in, what should happen without a cartridge in? Power light I know. Do I get some sort of welcome screen flash up before trying to load the game?
That sucks - I'll have to buy something - what do you recommend?
Does something exist that plugs into the back of the gameboy, to which you can download the code onto of different games? e.g. you download a cart from somewhere online, then plug this device to the computer, download it, then this thing will plug into the gameboy like a cart? I'd imagine that'd be fun to make if it doesn't!

Wha??
LED mod kit?! How many batteries do you use per day? :))

I think.... the gameboy can use eneloops, it doesn't require high voltage..
This makes me sad as one time my dad found a ****ing great deal for a Nintendo gameboy with the original giant Nintendo carrying bag in mint condition with all the like multiplayer cables and power cables and a near mint condition copy of Tetris. Dumbass kid me lost the bag during moving.

Yea it's fun.Is this a DMG-01 thread??? I was a lil obsessed when I was into chiptune and using the Gameboy w/ LSDJ. Did the LED mod myself, my first solder experience :) It also has a pro sound mod.
You need to get a backlit mod kit, to make it more playable though..
Yup, flashable carts can have ROMS put on em. Here is the one I remember being most popular, using a USB cord: http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/usb-64m-smart-card (The drag and derp is the easiest to use though).

An old dead cart: 0 - 50p

a lug to open the cart up: £2 - 3.50
add in a soldering iron, some wire and a few hours of programming to read data from the sd card and an interface screen to select files (there's probably at least one library to help with menu creation) and you have your own with the knowledge you made it yourself!

To my knowledge it's not that easy. Nintendo uses custom mappers on many boards meaning each system has multiple pcbs used and variations. I make my own NES and SNES repros, which IMHO are much easier.It's not that much for an Everdrive. The only cart you'll ever need:

Unfortunately the NES version didn't have the backlit screen. If you can find the others you can tell easily if they're backlit--just turn them around and look at the model number! What you want is AGS-101.
As for shells, I have a couple complete ones you can have as well (purple and pink), but it's the mobo you need to check to see if it's compatible with the AGS screen.
If and when you do this mod, the rest of the pieces shouldn't be more than $20 each, even if you have to buy a whole 'nother GBA if my mobo isn't compatible. It's the SP that will cost you at least $60.

People mod Game Boys?Modify old ones to be back lit, color mod it to your preference and run a cartridge that has flash memory and emulates a number of roms.
I think
Yeah, you can mod GBs. The biggest mods are making them backlit and improving the speakers. Otherwise, the rest are just aesthetics or small tweaks for personalization. The old GBs can have backlit screens in any color (since they were monochrome anyway).
And the reason krikkz's products are usually leagues above anyone else's is for ease and convenience. His Everdrives can utilize microSD cards, so all you gotta do is drag and drop the ROMs into the memory card, then plug the card into the cart and voila.
He tests them a lot as well, so they usually have near-100% compatibility. If there are any issues you can report them and he might include a fix in a later patch. They might seem expensive, but they're definitely worth the costs.
I think the only games that don't work with the Game Boy Everdrive are those that utilize the RTC, and the only ones that come to mind are Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. He said he might be working on a new PCB what will have a RTC, but it's not a priority since he's not a Pokemon fan anyway.

had no idea these were moddable
i have a couple of them somewhere deep in my old boxes
even though i don't want yet another thing to spend money on (especially on something that i really won't get much use out of even with a flash cart), i can't help but be drawn to this sort of thing...
AGS 101s also have a darker screen when powered off. The front lit 001 models look grey when off and the 101 look black.

What colors are they? If I remember correctly, I think the AGS-101 models also had darker buttons, but maybe on just one or two colorways.
For sure you can make your own, but you may have to keep tinkering with it if you run into crashes or glitches. I think I found a DIY kit on Tindie.
For supplies there is handledlegends.com and rosecoloredgaming.com too, though there are more not coming to mind.

My case is from RCG. For some reason I thought the color was the actual plastic, but instead it's just paint. A but pricey for what it is.

Yeah they have a tutorial about casting parts on their website so maybe that's the case. That's too bad about the quality, I had thought about looking out for one, but may just go murdered out black or something on mine, I have an ags 101 waiting for me to get the ribbon cable and time.That's a shame I eat hoping they were cast. How are the buttons holding up if they are painted?For supplies there is handledlegends.com and rosecoloredgaming.com too, though there are more not coming to mind.
@romevi: did you paint that case or buy it from rose colored gaming? Looks great

Also Kitsch Bent, and a few DIY kits off Tindie.
My case is from RCG. For some reason I thought the color was the actual plastic, but instead it's just paint. A but pricey for what it is.

The buttons and side panels, I believe, are cast. It's just the housing that isn't. The paint even comes off easily, too. I put a grip on it that fit really tight, and when I took it off I noticed a little nick on the back that showed some clear housing underneath. :(
The buttons are okay. Not sure what plastic they're made of, but they're not the same as the original Nintendo quality. They have a little "sticky" feeling, almost. The A and B buttons aren't too bad since you don't keep your thumb on them, but I had to switch my d-pad back. You can notice the gray d-pad on my pic; that's the original Nintendo one. The RCG case came with a black d-pad to better match the ol' DMG case, but it often gripped my thumb uncomfortably that it rubbed against the skin, especially on games where I had to change directions frequently. I had to switch it back after a week.
had no idea these were moddable
i have a couple of them somewhere deep in my old boxes
even though i don't want yet another thing to spend money on (especially on something that i really won't get much use out of even with a flash cart), i can't help but be drawn to this sort of thing...
Yeah bro, the DMG modding is usually for backlight, case mods, and sound mods for music artists (you can see a switch in the top right). For those who use the Gameboy to create chiptune music via LSDJ or whatever, its cool to customize your own lil instrumentShow Image(http://www.gamingrebellion.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/0720201401.png?9d7bd4)
