Thanks to a custom kit that is available online through BennVenn, YouTuber This Does Not Compute successfully created a version of the Game Boy Color with a backlit screen. By combining the kit with a Game Boy SP and a bit of handiwork, the Game Boy Color screen comes to life like never before. Check it out for yourself below:

Seems like more trouble than its worth compared with a frontlit mod which doesn’t have noise and is the right size.
I never knew it was the only non backlight system, no wonder it was dark as hell.
This mod blows at $140+, no power button, and loose case.
Good to see MNN finally states the name of this console right 😂
