So I have these old, original Game Boy (like, the grey one with the maroon buttons) games I wanna play again (original Pokemon Blue). What can I get to do so?
I bought a GB on eBay but the screen was barely visible. I'm comfortable partially building/programming something myself, and would also be fine with an adapter or some such that allows me to play the cartridge or copy its contents so I can play on my laptop or Raspberry Pi or whatever.
You did try to change the contrast on the GB you bought, didn't you?
Yes, noting happens.
Might also be a broken contrast wheel. Could be fixable with IPA if it doesn't work right.
If it's really the display, I guess there are at least many replacement options available.
