![]() Using with a Game Boy Color or Game Boy Pocket Bootloop protection circuitry to prevent overdischarge of AAA batteries, and to allow the Game Boy to die gracefully instead of violently stuttering until the regulator gives up.Improves the audio output of the Game Boy.Generally improved efficiency over the OEM regulator, and increased switching frequency.A dirty power switch can severly impact performance, so using this scheme can remedy that issue. Changing the power switch to a "soft power switch," meaning the main power of the Game Boy does not flow through the switch.Some features of this power board include: ![]() Surface Finish: ENIG or HASL (ENIG may be easier to solder).The zipped folder contains all the gerber files for this board. Do not attempt to hand-solder the QFN component on this board, you must use either hot air or a hot plate. Please do not attempt if you do not have advanced soldering experience. This is a complicated build that requires high level soldering skills. At the very least, you can add the assembled board to your Game Boy PCB, but keep pin 7 empty until you confirm with a meter that you are getting a solid 5 V output, after which you can add a wire to connect it to the main board. This can be done by connecting pins 1 and 2 to the positive terminal of an input voltage source with at least 2 V output (using battery clips or an external power supply) and measuring the output voltage on pin 7 (remember to connect pin 3 to the ground/negative end of the power source). If you are assembling this yourself, I suggest testing the assembled board externally before mounting it to your Game Boy. I have, however, tested it in my MGBC project extensively. This should work perfectly fine on a regular Game Boy Color or Pocket, but I haven't exhaustively tested it yet. ![]() This is a power regulator board for my Game Boy Pocket Color (MGBC) project.
