Package arrived on time and works as intended however I made a mistake with the loca and had to remove it, severely scratching the front light in the process and didn't have enough LOCA left so I just did the drop in method. Oh well. I'll be ordering a new one soon to try again, as it's my first time modding. Just beware it breaks easy!
BTW, very happy they listened to my special request to "include a drawing of waluigi", that's awesome and waluigi for smash!!! 😆
Let's be perfectly honest here, this is a cheap way to use your gameboy in darker enviroments. For the $10 I got it for, it was amazing, but I wouldn't spend anymore than $20 on one. It's not a funnyplaying ips pannel, so its not gonna win any clarity or picture quality awards, but it gets the job done, I've actually used my gbc more since getting it. If you're on a tight budget, go for it, or if you dont care about picture quality, get it. If you're looking for the best possible way to play your gameboy color games on original hardware, you'd best look elsewhere. I'd reccommend the funnyplaying ips kit, I've heard it's great, here's a link to it: https://handheldlegend.com/products/game-boy-color-ips-v2-lcd-backlight
Decided to give the front light mod a try because I hate my work light. Very simple install even with the Loca. I used sunlight to cure it and it came out great. Might not be as great as an LCD upgrade but you can't beat it for the price.
…but we’ll always have a special place in our heart for the glow of the Worm Light! ❤️
