Okay, so I just built MYSELF a new Gameboy...

Blog entry Gallery
This is the Pocket Color by Boxypixel. Pocket form factor and design, with a Color motherboard inside. I upgraded the battery from 1700mAh, to a 2000mAh battery. Added my ever-so-useful magnetic USB charging nub to the USB C port. And the Retropixel Q5 screen? AMAZING CRISPY PIXELS!!!!!

Y'know, I understand the USB-C Magnub, but why not also add Qi wireles charging? Couldn't be that hard to add in the very back, right?

I don't want a charging coil on the back, because they don't work through metal shells. This shell is aluminum, and would block almost 100% (if not 100%) of the charging. Plastic shells however, are very easy to add them to. I put them in all my DMG builds for customers because they're easy to add, and cheap too. Like $2 on eBay from China.

Ah. I didn't realize you used a metal shell, my bad.
