Has anyone tried these? I want to replace the screen cover for my Game Boy Color, but I thought I'd ask here first to see if this is any good OR if there are better alternatives.

Thanks.

No thanks. Don't need any ridiculous suggestions.

I actually thought about including a comment about how I wasn't willing to buy a new unit, but I figured some would be able to deduce that I was *only* looking for a replacement screen.

you know what i really need for GBC? the PKMN G-S battery cover.

i replaced the screen and battery cover on my old GBA direct from NOA for $8 shipped.

I have no advice for you, sorry.

However I am dying to hear a good reason someone would stick with a GBC. What's up!

NOA discontinued support for the GBC, so they don't have anything on the site.

Also, why do I stick with the GBC? It's the only handheld I really have, I just never bothered getting a GBA/DS/PSP because I simply don't have the money (I stuck to console gaming instead). I used to own the original Game Boy as well; the only reason I took out the GBC again was to play the games I haven't beaten yet. (Dragon Warrior 1-3, Oracle of Ages and Seasons, Link's Awakening DX, Wario Land III, etc.)

To play the games using the entire screen without relying on nasty aspect-ratio destroying, nearest-neighbor upscaling which the GBA offers?

I thought the GBA used a letter box method? Upscaling is gross, especially at such low resolutions...I bet that looks horrid.

Quick question: Is the GBA SP backwards compatible with GBC-only games?

yes and the stretching is good, but playing it in 1:1 is possible, the pixels look better.

The stretching is not good, under any circumstances. And again, playing at 1:1 is still using just a little portion of the screen. The games are just better suited for GBC units.
