Is that a modded screen? I don't remember my GBC having anywhere near that much backlight
The original GBC didn't have anything of a backlight. Although the earlier Gameboy Light was the first Nintendo handheld to have a backlight, the feature wasn't standardized until the GBA SP.
The original SP had a front light. The second iteration was backlit though.
It is :) did an amoled screen mod on it and swapped out the red led for an amber one
Ya that's modded.
Been thinking of doing it to mine but I'd rather keep it og. Just have to play under lamps 😁
Yes.
