This custom PCB is the simplest and most effective way to bivert an original Nintendo Game Boy. Backlighting the Game Boy's dot matrix LCD descreases the perceived contrast of the image. To improve its contrast and clarity, we invert the image twice: once by rotating the polarized film 90 degrees and once by installing this board. This process is known as biverting.

Our V2 now boasts a more compact footprint! At nearly half the size of the original board, it's never been easier to bivert your DMG. 

Features

  • Completely wireless installation
  • Optimized circuit for minimal signal loss and interference
  • Cleaner results than using a bivert chip
  • V2's smaller footprint simplifies installation

Included

  • 1 x Game Boy Bivert Board

Notes

  • This product is intended for use in the original Game Boy (DMG and PIL)
  • Installing this PBC is only one part of the bivert process. Please ensure that you also rotate the polarized film that came with your backlight by 90 degrees
  • Biverting your Game Boy will make the image more difficult to see in full daylight but results in a dramatic improvement in dimmer light situations
  • The bivert board V2 (compact) has undergone a couple of design revisions. Please note that the product you receive may look slightly different from the one pictured
  • Installing the bivert option for IPS displays will not improve contrast and clarity but only invert the colors.

Works great!

Bivert board was super easy to install, love the new compact design! Works flawlessly too, no issues with it whatsoever.

Easy, even for a beginner!

Great product! I installed it along with a backlight mod on a DMG. One point of feedback is the tutorial for the backlight was easy to find and use. I could not easily find a tutorial for V2 of the bivert chip and ended up having to look on YouTube and still just had to make due with a tutorial for V1 and figure it out on my own. As a beginner, I was able to figure it out, but it was a bit of a process. I could have just missed it too, but giving an updated tutorial would be great.

Great result, tedious to install

Definitely watch a video beforehand. I'm a beginner modder and I bought this along with a backlight. It took me probably 11 hours to get everything together. I ended up uninstalling the bivert mod and reinstalling it because I thought it wasn't working; turns out my GB is just very sensitive pressure wise and I needed to screw it together in just the right spots...probably related to the ribbon cable or something. AFAICT, this board largely works the same as the original one except you don't need to solder a ground wire in.
