It is "possible", but the results you would get in theory are worse than just using a frontlight panel.

Here is the one I promised yesterday, we had a storm so I had to wait before I could send them from my camera (bad reception)

and here is a pic

So I have two done, and I have 3 more DMGs, hopefully I wont break them
Also, I like this because its like a photonegative, and looks so awesome in person

Front light is way harder.

now I'm confused. I thought practically all lighting mods were really front lit. shows what I know.

[Basement_Modder]

me too.

[palmertech]

If it is a gameboy pocket or a DMG, then it is probably baclit. Anything else, probably a frontlight mod.

I suppose frontlight mods are easier in theory, but it is a lot easier to get a 100% flawless backlight than it is to get a perfect frontlight, since the panel is so visible and prone to scratches.

I see, said the blind man.

could you post a tutorial on how you did this with materials required. I have a gameboy pocket I would love to do this to. Also I have been haveing lots of trouble front lighting my gba. I used the front light from a broken gbasp and it was not bright at all. I don't know what I did wrong. If anyone has any ideas about what might help please let me know.

ill be making a supergameboy DMG backlight mod tutorial, but the only problem is the battery life changes drastically from 6 hours of play time to somewhere between 59-60 hours of play time.
I know holy crap im onto something.

[schmellyfart]

Soooo does it actually change the battery life?

[Basement_Modder]

Do you change the battery to a high-power one?

[SonyPortableizer]

Do you change the battery to a high-power one?

yes, I will be quadrupling the battery life in a Gameboy DMG. But all you need are 4 regular run of the mill AA batteries to power it.
Thats all im saying

You do realize that simply by using 2500mah cells instead of the standard 900mah alkaline cells the DMG was rated on, you could already get a big boost, in theory?
