I remember when I got a gameboy way back in the mid 1990's my mum got me a mains adapter so I could use it without having to constantly find batteries to steal. thing was though this mains adapter was incredibly stubborn to get in to the socket on the side of the console properly and even more stubborn to get out. So on one occasion of trying to removing the adapter it broke off leaving the plug stuck in the gameboys socket jammed in so tight and stubborn it was damn near impossible to get out. And just to make things even more fun when this main socket was plugged into the gameboy it somehow cut off its battery power supply so the thing was useless until my dad managed to yank it out with a pair of pliers. had the charger fixed but it broke again shortly after since all the guy did was tape it back together

The coolest one isn't listed. I saw a guy use a custom cartridge that has a usb, and it was loaded with a music writing program. Dude used it as a musical instrument on stage. It was incredible.

OMG, I didn't know my Gameboy can be attached to a shoe! That's impossible! 😑

Boombox Boy could've been really cool if it was an actual cartridge, where you'd set and select channels on the screen. I'm not sure if it'd be possible, but routing the audio straight to the headphone jack would've also been a smart idea. Basically, it could've made the Game Boy into a Walkman for kids.

i still have my old gameboy color and it still has a phone battery attached to it after i wired it up in 2007 when i was 12 years old and got sick of wasting my allowance on batteries that light shining a bright orangey red was the best thing in the world when i was a kid

*The thumbnail is like* GUYS. GUESS WHAT, THE GAMEBOY, GET THIS, HAS AN LED WHEN YOU TURN IT ON. I KNOW. MINDBLOWING.

This is more releated to the GBA, but there was a 3rd party accessory that could turn your GBA into a fully functional portable TV (called the GBA TV Tuner). It was a bit bulky and could only tune into local channels, but the entire concept was really impressive for being back around 2005, when KZread was but a wee lad, Netflix was still mailing DVDs, and smartphones were barely a thing.

you can buy mod kits online now to put a backlit screen in your gameboy color or gameboy pocket. some soldering is involved but it's not too hard. best of all the mod kits are only a couple bucks. the one site I used had even different color buttons to put in and a mod chip for the Game Boy circuit board to increase the picture and contrast.

Really should have been called “things you didn’t know accessorizes for your game boy can make it do”

Compatible with all GBs (enhanced for Color, but also works on Pocket and original "DMG"). Biggest fixes for Tetris DX are saved scores/profiles (yeah, save your scores!), and more responsive rapid motion of pieces so you can keep up with higher levels.

The biggest flashback with Link’s Awakening in the Amethyst GBC with the boom box boy! Had all 3!

another unknown fact , the gameboy has not just 4 channels for the sound ( two quadrangular , one wave and one noise channel ) but 5 channels : "The 5th channel is an external sound input from pin 31 on the cartridge port. It is there so you can place a synth chip or sample playback chip on a cartridge." " To this date, no cartridges are known to use this functionality. "
