商品描述

Complete beginner's guide to all aspects of modifying the classic Nintendo Game Boy.

D.I.Y. Game Boy Modding will provide readers with a detailed process for purchasing, refurbishing, modding, and customizing several Nintendo handheld consoles. The consoles and customizations are widely available and affordable for all gamers to try on their own, and require only limited tools and know-how. With the retro gaming trend booming across the world, old school retro consoles are seeing a resurgence of popularity among gamers of all ages. King among these throwback devices is the Nintendo Game Boy, which sold over 100 million units in its lifetime, and was where many popular characters got their start, including Mario and Pokemon. These consoles are oozing pixelated 8-bit retro charm, but some lack the modern technological enhancements that we take for granted in 2018.

Readers learn basic soldering and hardware modification techniques, then move on to learn how to change speakers, buttons, screen lens, and even fix dead speakers and sticky buttons.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《D.I.Y. Game Boy Modding》是一本完整的入門指南,涵蓋了修改經典任天堂Game Boy的各個方面。本書將為讀者提供購買、翻新、修改和自定義多款任天堂掌上遊戲機的詳細流程。這些遊戲機和自定義選項廣泛且價格實惠,適合所有玩家自行嘗試,只需要有限的工具和知識。隨著復古遊戲風潮在全球蔚然成風,老派復古遊戲機在各個年齡層的玩家中重新流行起來。其中最受歡迎的就是任天堂Game Boy,其在生命周期內售出了超過1億台,並成為許多受歡迎角色的起點,包括瑪利歐和寶可夢。這些遊戲機散發著8位元像素化的復古魅力,但有些缺乏我們在2018年所認為理所當然的現代科技增強功能。讀者將學習基本的焊接和硬體修改技術,然後進一步學習如何更換揚聲器、按鈕、屏幕鏡片,甚至修復壞掉的揚聲器和黏黏的按鈕。
