Youll be opening up the shell, removing screws, popping off screens, and possibly soldering so the right equipment is mandatory.

The GBA SP and Gameboy Micro are a bit more awkward to mod, so we advise looking elsewhere for that.

So lets jump in with the best Gameboy Mods that turn your old crusty handheld, into a fresh modern day games console.

A new shell is the biggest change to your new modded gameboy, so choose wisely.

Firstly, does it come with the buttons and silicone pads Or is it literally just a shell Does it come with the screen cover.

This is simply a brand new display that slots into your Gameboys in order to create a bright, vivid display.

Backlight displays are very high quality, and create a crispy, saturated gaming experience.

We advise using a utility knife to slowly slice away the plastic.

You can buy some backlight displays that slot perfectly into a pre-trimmed shell, for those of you that dont want to cut your own shell.

The weight and the craftsmanship is something that weve not felt in a long time.

Its also fairly easy to build too, as you buy all of Boxypixels parts, and they fit like Lego.

Obviously, we advise doing it yourself, because not only is it cheaper, it also makes the handheld feel more sentimental.

You can pick these up for around 50, and as much as it feels expensive, it will save you plenty of mullah down the line.

The speaker is incredibly loud, and you can feel the vibrations through the handheld.
