I modded a Gameboy Pocket to have a backlight so I can play in the dark (Duh )
The video quality sucks, but its better then nothing (But no sound), and in person you cant see the leds shine through
I would have posted this earlier but since my phone sent it I needed to have service to send the big video file

What do ya think, I only ruined one gameboy in the process!

Awesome!!!

Didnt some people say it was impossible or some crap like that?

No, I mean YES, YES THEY DID!!

right, they did.

It looks nice.

What exactly was the diffusion material made from?

I used some frosted glass thing on some mirror tinfoil, metallic marker (Dont use spray paint, I mess up really terribly), and something else thats white, but I forget what its from
Also, to remove the stickiness of the back of the screen, I used a sock and windex, I tried using wrapped toothpicks but when I slipped I ruined one screen
Give me ten minutes and Ill be posting another one, but really crappy one

^Your description makes me so eager.

so this is legitimately backlit and not frontlit?

yes, is there a way to tell by looking at it?
And front light would be harder right?

Front light is way harder.

is it or not, because I could backlight this in an hour, and I still can not frontlight a GBA after 5 hours of work.
I am looking into 2 more backlight ideas, and a new stupid, but fun idea. but thats a secret

Frontlighting is harder.

the laugh threw me off. And which is better looking?

Backlit looks better, if you can do it.

so its a win-win then?
And its impossible to backlight a color?
