I think 133mhz has answered that question before.

Yeah, I've seen it done with the first type GBA's but not a GB. I would assume it's possible.

The GBA backlight was called an Afterburner. I was very interested in one of those when they first came out, but never got around to getting one,.

Yeah I did, and also nurd gave a pretty good idea (using EL tape instead of surface mount LEDs).

thx i will try

but i have two ? wat does the tape do is it a special tape or is their any other tape i can use

[133MHz]

It's a special kind of tape which lights up when you apply an electric current through it. Do you know those digital watches which light up when you push a button to see the time when it's dark? Those use EL tape on the back of the display.

EL means ElectroLuminiscent. And nurd left a link somewhere where you could buy some.

But... there is another thread by you, almost exactly the same, just worded differently.


Also, what should I do to one of my gameboy colors?

[earthquakejake]

yea i know but i didnt get any use full info from that one

[nurd]

Well...EL tape.


Anyway, I'm going to try this with one of my GBC's.

What should I use as a reflector?
Aluminum Foil might not look good,but it can't be so shiny that you can see through the screen.

Don't tell me you guys don't even know
GameBoy Light........

[nurd]

We do know GameBoy Light.

We also know that it is expensive, and not in color.

[megaman]

my bad.....

That tape thing sounds like a damn good idea. Anything is better than that silly contraption that straps onto the front of the thing.
