Documentation

  • The files for the 3D-printed bracket can be found on our Thingiverse, here

 

Notes

  • Some shell trimming is required for installation; unless you are using a Funny Playing shell.
  • Minor soldering is required (two wires)
  • When the grid line mode is turned on, some game scenes will flash when switching, which is a refresh problem of the motherboard of the console itself. This flashing is expected, and temporary.

 

Warning

  • We strongly recommend testing the display before installing it in your console. Please follow our Display Testing Guide to confirm the kit is working before the adhesive is secured, the display protection sheet removed, or any non-critical soldering to the ribbon or driver PCB. We are unable to accept returns or replacements on kits that have been installed in a console. Individual replacement parts may be available in the "Included" section above.
  • The ribbon is very fragile, be sure to handle it carefully to avoid damage.
  • Too much pressure can permanently damage the display, do not force the shell closed around the LCD. Ensure the shell is properly trimmed for the display before attempting to install it.

Retro Pixel IPS LCD for Game Boy Pocket

I've used this screen for 2 different projects and they look great. Installation was super easy. I used the centering bracket on one and not on the other. I would say that it's not absolutely necessary, but it did make the process easier and I would likely use the bracket again if I use this screen for future projects. The screen also has a number of color palettes.
