Interesting idea though! The latest CycloDS Evolution firmware has soft reset for homebrew, just like with commercial games. I never got into Lameboy until 0. BTW, just to let everyone know, I have stumbled across a couple games that have some sound issues. So I just turned the volume down for them. When you pay the extra money for a Cyclo over the other flashcarts, you are paying for the great support and constant improvements being made by the Cyclo Dev team.
I look forward to more great DS emulation articles, and maybe even some posts regarding emus on the Wii someday? Portable emulation is my favorite area of the subject. Neither will dsboy. It was one of my favorite games back in the day and I hope it gets fixed soon. Super Metroid on-the-go would be awesome.

Easy Installation After some of my frustrating experiences getting some of my GP2X emulators to run, I was very happy with the simplicity of the Lameboy installation. July 4th, at pm by racketboy.

When the spring moved down, the screw head met the other wire and it counted as the button being pressed. So I put a piece of card stock under them and used hot glue to hold the bottom wire in place. I also used a small amount of hot glue to hold the springs centered above the bottom wire. I came across a guide on adding a front light to a GameBoy Color. So I bought another one that was the correct model number.
Like the person recommended, the second SP I bought had a broken screen, but I asked the Ebay seller to check that the light still worked. I started with the screen. I made sure to carefully clean all screen components because I accidentally got a lot of fingerprints on them.
Once the screen was glued in place, I realized I had forgotten to extend the power switch to reach the outside of the old GameBoy case.
I tried to use a tiny hollow pipe and that seemed to work, but then it broke the power switch off. To fix that I used an extra wire to test different connection points until I found the two that counted as the power switch turning on. I soldered wires to those points and rigged up a setup with small sections of the tiny pipe. I built a cardboard enclosure around my new switch and it worked great! After the power switch issue, I wanted to get all of the GameBoy Color parts in place before I accidentally broke it again.
I installed all of the parts and arranged them to fit into the new case. Once it was in place, I used some hot glue to get it all to stay still. I noticed the start and select buttons were not pushed up enough to be easily pushed, so I put a few layers of cardboard to push against the back of the circuit board a little.
That pushed the buttons up enough to work. I then glued the game connector to the back of the case and ground out an area for it from the bottom of the DS with my dremel. I laid everything on top of each other and made one last check to make sure everything lined up correctly. I figured that would prevent any shorts from occurring.
I noticed one spot below the R button on the DS that I ground down a little too much. I placed some cardboard behind it for extra support. After testing my setup again before permanently attaching everything with hot glue. The cardboard I added was blocking the wire bunch from the game connector, so I gently cut off a section of it.
I used needle nose pliers to pull it off due to the hot glue. Unfortunately I damaged the flex cable that controls the top screen. This has effectively put my project on hold. I went ahead and added in some cardboard to fill in the open gaps. Because of this fact, I will leave the last step blank and fill it in later.
I will be applying some epoxy clay that dries in a light gray color to fill in the gaps left on the sides and make this into a complete unit. Once I finish it up, I will update this final step. While it is a little bit taller than an original GameBoy, most people will probably still assume it is one. Once they notice the hinge, open it up and they will be amazed to find a DS inside. I think this project would look a little bit better is I had used a DS Lite.
This would have made the DS portion smaller and probably easier to work with due to the smaller size. Reply 5 years ago. Reply 6 years ago. But you could use a pi as an emulator inside if you take out all the guts and run it on a new tft screen. That's the project I'm slowly working on, and writing up. Yeah, that all sounds pretty awesome! A little beyond my current skill level though I'd say try it out, and post it on the site if you get it working!
Great tutorial! I have a kind of irrelevant question though. I am trying to fix my gameboy color it has a broken power switch. I do not want to desolder the old switch as it is a tough job for me, all i want is to "bypass" it by soldering a new custom switch and sticking it on the outside of the console.
My question is, which of the four pads of the switch 1, c, 2 and 3 should be wired to the new switch and how should they be wired? I mean i can't figure out how the switch works and i am afraid that wiring the wrong combination will destroy my device.
I asked because i saw on the tutorial that you have already tested how the switch works. Reply 8 years ago on Introduction.
