Recently, one of the Game Boy backlight kit makers had a batch of brand new LCDs manufactured for use with Game Boy Pocket consoles. This LCD appears to be heavily based upon the Palm Centro 690 LCDs used in the older, smaller AIO kits. The hardware of the adapter is identical too and is made by the same maker so I just had to test the hardware in other consoles that the kit works with.

These theories were corroborated by BennVenn who ordered a few to test with his Freckleshack.

Spoiler alert

But unfortunately, this does not appear to be the case. These LCDs appear only to be compatible with the adapter it comes with and, especially unfortunately, the adapters are only compatible with the Game Boy Pocket (and a Game Boy Light and with the correct adapter or wiring, an original Game Boy). There is also an original Game Boy version that should be coming out soon if not already.

Per the manufacturer, there is a Game Boy Color compatible version coming soon. Cloud Game Store on aliexpress says they are due October but delays seem to be the theme of 2020.

This kit in particular was provided to me by RGRS and you can pick one up direct from their store: [ Ссылка ]
