Documentation 

The functionality of the LCD is as follows:

  • A short tap of the touch sensor will cycle through 7 brightness levels
  • A long hold of the touch sensor will cycle through retro pixel effects
  • A long hold of start + select will enter function mode; holding start + select again will exit function mode
  • While in function mode:
    • Tapping the touch sensor will cycle through different words in the GBC logo
    • With "game" selected, start and select will move the display up and down
    • With "boy" selected, start and select will move the display left and right
    • With "color" selected, start and select will cycle through color options for the GBC logo

Notes

    • Some soldering is required, install as shown here
    • We recommend using this LCD with Funny Playing's GBC shells, as they are designed to make installation of this kit as easy as possible; while this kit can be installed on other shells, some shell modification is required to accommodate the pre-adhered lens
    • If you encounter a situation where the logo is partially missing, hold start select for 8 seconds.

        Warning

        • We strongly recommend testing the display before installing it in your console. Please follow our Display Testing Guide to confirm the kit is working before the adhesive is secured, the display protection sheet removed, or any non-critical soldering to the ribbon or driver PCB. We are unable to accept returns or replacements on kits that have been installed in a console. Individual replacement parts may be available in the "Included" section above.
        • The ribbon is very fragile, be sure to handle it carefully to avoid damage.
        • Too much pressure can permanently damage the display, do not force the shell closed around the LCD. Ensure the shell is properly trimmed for the display before attempting to install it.

        My favorite way to play my old Pokemon carts!

        I got this kit with no intention of being able to use all features because I was under the impression I needed a touch sensor of some sort to do so, and some extra soldering. To my surprise, I was sent an upgraded version of the kit with a touch sensor built into the ribbon cable that extends to the top of the shell, and it works too good! This console was completely transformed when I finally got it functional and operating correctly. I am a beginner with soldering and thought I was going to have more trouble than I actually did. The screen itself looks better than what the pictures tell you, and I am surprised at all the color options for the logo itself. From what I am aware, extended batteries and this screen can work without replacing the regulator, FYI. This console is the cleanest and brightest way to play all your classic favorites on original (or unoriginal s/o FPGBC) hardware.

        Worked great until the laminate started peeling off after only two months. Get yourself an LCD screen that is separate from the screen plate, it'll look just as nice and last infinitely longer.

        It's AMAZING!

        I've just instaled it and so far it's great many features that are cool !
        Fitting it in the shell (not funny playing one) requiers a bunch of trimming and precise work but with patience and a dremel it's nothing to get overwhelmed by.

        The soldering is straight foroward and verry eazy it's almost a drop-in replacement

        I recomend it promptly!

        Easy as pie to install and worked perfectly. Beautiful screen and amazing built-in settings. Literally could not be happier with my purchase.
