Built one at a time

Restored first.
Customized second.

Game Boys and handhelds have always been a passion. Each build starts with old hardware that deserves another life: cleaned, repaired, tested, and carefully rebuilt before the customization begins.

From IPS screens with touch controls to upgraded LiPo batteries and USB-C charging, the goal is a handheld that feels better to use than you remember—without losing what made the original special.

Restored — Cleaned, repaired, and tested
Modernized — Display, power, and charging upgrades
