Battle of the Game Boy DMG Screen Upgrades! (Patreon)
Content
IPS replacement display kits have taken the retro handheld game console scene by storm...and now there are two options to pick from when it comes to the original Game Boy. So between the Funnyplaying and RIPS v3 kits, which one is better?
Be sure to check out Pad Chennington's unboxing and impressions video on one of the handhelds I built in this episode! [link coming soon!]
These are my favorite flush cutters -- they work very well and are actually surprisingly inexpensive (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/3kwfU3F
