Replacement PCB for the original gameboy DMG (Mainboard with audio and power board)
This project was born with the aim of saving corroded boards of Gameboy DMGs or SNES Super Gameboy adapters. For this reason, I developed replacement PCBs by using modern electronic components. Several exisisting DMG mods are included:
- Lipo power board that also provides the negative voltage required for the original LCD (this voltage can be turned off through a switch if an IPS screen is used). Thanks to a brand new 2.5A DC jack, a lipo battery can be safely charged at 0.5 or 1 A. In addition, it is possible to play while charging by using only the current coming from the DC jack.
- Audio board with all the audio circuits on it in which 1w speaker or the original speaker is directly connected (Audio is not sent to the front PCB, and, for this reason, any power absorbing on the front PCB does not affect audio). Audio amplifier can be disabled to save battery life or to use only the pro-sound jack.
- Integrated bivert chip.
- I also developed a replica of the OSD IPS (v4 or v5) board with button LEDs and tactile buttons.
- Housing shell doesn't require any cut apart from those required by the IPS LCD mod.
Detailed instructions can be found on GitHub https://github.com/VISmodding/VIS_Game_Boy_DMG
Warning: I have updated Gerber file of the mainboard to v1.1, in which an important fix has been done. If you have produced v1.0 of the mainboard, send me an email (see GitHub for my contacts), and I will tell you the fix that must be done.

For production:
- Mainboard file (that includes power and audio boards) must be produced in ENIG surface (1 mm tichkness).
- DC Jack holder file must be produced with 1.6 mm tichkness - link.
- The screw raiser file must be produced with 1.6 mm tichkness - link.
- IPS front PCB must be produced in ENIG surface (1.2 mm tichkness) - link.
