I recently got an original Gameboy as a bonus with an eBay haul. In this video, I build a USB power cable for it, add a backlight and bivert mod to the screen and retrobright the case to its original color.

Here's the backlight/bivert tutorial I used (German, but the connection pictures are nicely color coded): circuit-board.de/forum/index.php/Thread/13820-Bivert-Mod-für-Game-Boy-DMG-und-Game-Boy-Pocket/?s=45f695086dfd49a0b197537d19937f2c505261ee

The music used for the soldering/timelapse portions of the video is called "8-Bit wannabe" and was kindly provided by Focus 10 aka Øystein Hansen. Thank you! Check out more of his work here: soundcloud.com/user-993847645

"8-bit wannabe" is now also available as a single from CDBaby/iTunes/Spotify: store.cdbaby.com/cd/focus101

Edit: Just noticed that I left the intro text unedited. I'm just going to leave it like that for giggles... Shame on me... ;)
