I added an OLED display to both my GBC and DMG, and I'm very happy with it. I wrote about in on my blog :)
Thanks! I'll check out your blog 😊 I didn't consider OLED displays, but that would definitely be cool!
One thing I read when looking into it is that the gameboy pockets 2 aaa batteries are kind weak to power an oled. But… if you get an lithium ion rechargeable battery back I think it’s better and that should solve the cover issue too
Thanks for the heads up! I wouldn't be looking for an OLED for the Pocket though, I would only consider for the Color. But I do like the idea about the battery regardless, thanks!
The link in your blog post that goes to the OLED screen on AliExpress is a 404 error.
Well I think it's just because they used official Nintendo logos, so the listings on AliExpress probably got taken down (maybe only in Europe?).
But the company still exists and you can get their stuff on other shops. But you'll have to do some research I guess. I found this German shop that still has some.
