A Game Boy Color that uses 100% aftermarket parts, even the cart slot (yes, they had custom OEM compatible cart slots made).

Comes with small bezel screen with no power LED cutout or logo but if you insist on having both (there is still no power LED on these console motherboards), you can purchase a replacement screen meant for other kits and use that instead. The replacements do NOT support the "full" screen mode due to the larger bezel but they are otherwise drop-in: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32568...

Game compatibility is mostly hit though there are a few misses. Most games seem to work fine via a specific combination of menu options. Those specific options may require experimentation to find. Original Game Boy games tend to work better on the GB core and newer games tend to work better on the GBC core.

Everdrive and EZ Flash Jr MAY or MAY NOT work, depending on your specific hardware variants and the specific game you're trying to load. It's basically down to luck of the draw. If this is a red flag for you, consider skipping the cart emulator entirely and stick with an Anbernic or Miyoo or similar. You'll have a much more consistent experience. Funnyplaying has stated their intent to make these carts compatible but as of v1.04 firmware on v1.1 hardware, compatibility is STILL hit and miss.

This console ONLY works with game carts. You can not load ROMs and run them directly.
