I have bi-verted and backlit other DMG-01s in the past and they look great but there's no way they can match the clarity and quality of a modern day display. While it's awesome to use as much original hardware as possible, we have to take a look back and realize this new screen tech is a fantastic addition to these wonderful machines.
I found the installation process super easy and straight forward. The process took little to no time at all and it's literally a drop-in replacement for the old display board. I used an aftermarket shell and it dropped right in. I will definitely do another on a stock shell eventually because I'm hooked!
The only issue I have had with this installation and why I deducted a point, was because the ribbon cable is so darn tight. I'm pretty sure it's much thicker than the original stock cable. I had issues getting it in and when I did, the corner bent a little. I managed to get it straightened out and it worked until I went to button the case together. The screen would flicker when I put the two shells together. It would only work half open. I ended up having an issue where the D-Pad was unresponsive as well. After I flipped the cable around, everything worked fine.
I would definitely buy it again and next time I'll be prepared for the stiffer ribbon cable.
Finally got my new Hispeedido DMG Laminated IPS screen installed. The screen looks absolutely amazing and I love the custom color adjustment. The issue I am having is the button sensitivity with the new front PCB seems very low, I need to push quite firmly on the buttons and especially the D Pad for them to register with the new front PCB, which makes games like super mario land very difficult to play. I've tested it with both original dmg buttons / silicone membranes as well as new buttons and silicone membranes, both give the same poor results. The original buttons and silicone membranes were very responsive using the original nintendo pcb that was replqced. Hoping this is a one off issue, as this looks beautiful, but isnt really playable without a lot of frustration.
Thanks for your feedback! It looks like we have a replacement front board on the way to you. If it doesn't resolve your issue, please reach back out to support.
