I got a FunnyPlaying "Retro Pixel" rainbow IPS screen for the Game Boy Pocket along with a 3D printed bracket to assist with the installation.

Join me as I tackle this job for the first time and attempt to create a classic style Game Boy with a modern twist.

Note: Since installing the screen I am getting very poor battery life (around 2 minutes!!) but I have seen elsewhere it is normal to get about 3 hours play out of a set of AAA batteries. I'll investigate what's wrong here with my Game Boy and report back in a future video.
