The SGB CPU is compatible with the DMG. By swapping the CPU, your Gameboy will skip the falling Nintendo animation. This decreases the boot speed.
Good job! This is not an easy feat for an amateur!
Thanks! I've built a MGBC, a DMGC, a Funny playing GBA so I have some experience (though very much still an amateur).
Did you use a heat gun to get it off?
Hot air station. Put down some tacky flux and kept it moving around the chips at about 380c.
Good job! You've done the research!
How the fuck did you even begin to solder that?!? That's incredible
Thanks! Getting them off was probably harder than soldering them on. It took quite a bit of heat to melt the existing solder. After that, line up the pins and tac it in place and use drag soldering with plenty of flux.
#Rules: taken from r/gameboy
Rule 1: Be polite
Rudeness, namecalling, and/or hate speech of any kind are not welcome. Repeat offenders will be banned at moderator discretion. 2. Rule 2: Do not distribute copyrighted material
Do not publicly share ROM links or sites that illegally distribute copyrighted material. Homebrew and other aftermarket apps are allowed if the author permits it. 3. Rule 3: Stay on topic
This is a Game Boy community. Related content includes the original Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and hardware that is able to play those game libraries. (Super Game Boy, Game Boy "Macro," GB Boy Colour, etc) Occasional posts about fringe topics (Pokemon Mini, emulation devices, etc) may be acceptable, but will be removed if they become too frequent. 4. Rule 4: No buying/selling/trading
Rule 5: Self-promotion is ok in moderation
Self-promotion of your site/product/channel isn't forbidden as long as it's done in good taste, and not too often. If we see that your account or c/gameboy activity is overwhelmingly used for self-promotion, your posts will be removed. If any self-promoting post gets reported to the moderators in great numbers, moderators are unlikely to protect/defend it. 6. Rule 6: Post 'counterfeit cartridge' questions in the Fake Cart Thread
Rule 7: Use common sense
Moderators reserve the right to remove your post or take other action, even for things that are not expressly specified in the above rules. For example, spamming will result in moderator action, and nobody should be surprised when it does. If you have any questions or feedback, message the moderators and let us know!
