DMG replacement motheboard. Rolf is working on designing a replacement board that can accommodate a DMG CPU as well as an Atmega168 that can be used for “ArduinoBoy” (a microcontroller program that allows a Gameboy to be receive MIDI) as well as holes in. If you’re still in two minds about gameboy replacement parts and are thinking about choosing a similar product, AliExpress is a great place to compare prices and sellers. We’ll help you to work out whether it’s worth paying extra for a high-end version or whether you’re getting just as good a deal by getting the cheaper item.
An all-in-one sub board combines an NES controller interface with Video conversion and upscaling to convert the DMG gameboy into a full-on TV game console!
Features 3x video upscaling to fill a full 640x480 VGA screen and a controller interface which will accept NES/SNES control pads. Standard VGA out with 3.5mm stereo socket for audio. Maximum laser rifle dmg. USB-mini socket for powering the console, any standard 5v usb outlet will run this guy.

Backlighting Your Gameboy DMG – The Right Way Backlight your DMG like a pro! While taking the extra steps to do it right will take more time, and you may encounter a learning curve at first, ultimately, desoldering the screen is the best way, in my opinion, for a few reasons.
Available in short-form kits for those who are confident with a soldering iron, or fully assembled for a trouble-free plug and play experience.
Option1: Assembled Sub-Board only with 3d printed spacer. You will need your own DMG motherboard and interconnect ribbon, a NES controller and a steady hand.
Option2: Assembled Sub-Board with spacer, recycled DMG motherboard, Fully assembled and tested. No controller.
Option3: Assembled Sub-Board with spacer, recycled DMG motherboard, Fully assembled and tested with reproduction NES controller.
Great game compatibility, some games will have a few pixels out of place with multiple sprites on the same scanline. This is not apparent on most titles. Download r on mac. Functioning link port for multiplayer support. Tested on various TV's, monitors and even our 130' DLP projector :-) Pokemon on the big screen!

I've been working on this for a while now, and I'm almost ready to make a prototype. Basically, it's a replacement motherboard for a DMG that (for now) has an arduinoboy, 7486 XOR 'bivert chip', and easy prosound pads. It doesn't sound like much, but if I can get it to work right, it will be a huge step for further development, like adding different sound chips, or wireless communication.. anything's possible, really.
Here's a screenshot of the (not quite finished) PCB design for those interested:

A big part of this for me was that I wanted everything to look and feel just like a normal DMG on the outside, other than some extra I/O and a button or two. A lot of parts must be harvested from a DMG motherboard to make these, such as the link port, power switch/jack, volume pot, RAM, CPU, op-amp, cartridge connector, and screen connector. This is just my personal preference, and of course anyone making their own could use whatever they wanted.
Big thanks NeX and bleepbloop for some of the pinouts and library files, great ideas and inspiration, Trash80 for the arduinoboy, and Jeff Frohwein for his DMG schematics.
