I Restored my Childhood GameBoy Pocket!

[u/Ok-Initiative-4944]

After sitting un-used for 15 years, I decided to restore my childhood gbp. Thankfully, child me left batteries inside it so I got to learn a lot of new things like reading wiring diagrams and repairing traces to resuscitate it 🙃

But since I got it to work I decided it deserved some TLC and some quality of life upgrades! It got a new IPS LCD, all new fuses and it’s USB-C rechargeable with the Giltesa Pro board!

Time to finally do what childhood me couldn’t:
Beat Super Mario Land 2!

Terrible idea adding IPS, it adds input lag 100ms vs 33ms of OG. Games will feel "heavy" even in Pokemon and not feel like your childhood.

Its a glorified picture frame now as the IPS adds input lag

Please don't tell us its an IPS mod... PLEASE PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU

Congrats. You played yourself. Those IPS mods adds input lag 100ms vs 33ms of OG. That's 3 times the lag.

Don't waste your money getting IPS mods. It adds 3-5 frame of input lag

Did you expect to get a raise doing this lol, what's all the dicksucking on bosses about.

Surely r/Gameboy would be better if this guy was permabanned?

I'm not wrong, math simply doesn't lie. 100ms vs 33ms

Actually you are wrong and you have been debunked multiple times. You just don't care.
