I think 133mhz knows a way to place a light inside any gameboy lol

[earthquakejake]

realy that sounds pretty cool

You could actually fit some white LEDs and a diffuser behind the screen with some serious Dremelling. Preferably surface mount LEDs since space inside a Gameboy is a premium.

Or you could put EL tape around the screen.

im good i dont want el tape

[133MHz]

EL tape seems like a great idea! But AFAIK they work with high voltages, powering them from a Game Boy would be somewhat hard. A GB already has a DC-DC converter which steps up the 3V of the batteries to 5V and some weird-ass negative voltage like -18V for the LCD contrast, but I don't think it could handle the power requirements of a EL backlight properly.

you could do some serious business dremeling and put one of those cr2032 batteries in it.
Or would that be too little/much power?
