Someone on Reddit asked if the RGB kit was compatible, and I responded "no, you'd have to scrape through to the traces like a madman" and well, here you are. Thanks for your pursuits in science and tinkering!

I really like my Analogue Pocket fpga makes all the difference and the display is great.

[@PongbyAtari]

That is a sweet looking system. The Funny Playing mod is fpga?

[@makho]

Yep. Not the same hardware I used in this video but I did a video on a newer version if you want more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j36aqIyulLimiLs

[@RaceFace85]

This looks great.

[@manyakeebler6965]

It does look like newer Versions of the FPGBC board have these test points exposed, at least the non black models, based on pictures on the Funnyplaying website. So it could be a much more straight forward install on those.

It's a shame that they don't make an LED kit specifically for the FPGBC, or that they didn't think to integrate LEDs in to the motherboard itself like they did with the custom GBA motherboard that they make.But this is a cool mod nonetheless, and I'd attempt it but I'm still pretty new to tinkering with small electronics like this. With my luck I would probably damage the traces when scraping the PCB to expose them.

[@RMwashere]

Is there a way to install a power LED on the kit like to OG Gameboy?

[@jed1nat]

So what do we know about the latest FPGBC 1.11 revision? Too many revisions.

[@makho]

I have documented all the revisions and major changes in the firmware github repo

[@jed1nat]

@@makho I've since seen that, thank you. Appreciate the alternate bootloader too.

[@Ami-Jimmy]

Cool. This is something I was planning to do, soon I'll know if you managed or not ;)

[@hiroshi7025]

I love watching you do this tinkering and see stuff working at the end. It's so satisfying.

Hi, would you be able to bring back more Slate cases in black lens please?

[@adrianfernandez7458]

Is it possible to add a rumble motor on to this board?

[@jareddehart9107]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS, TY man. I was wondering if this was possible.

[@roman1305]

Hi Makho, did you notice bugs playing pokemon Crystal with this console? Thanks

[@makho]

None whatsoever. I didn't beat the game but I did still do double digits in it. If there are issues, I didn't find any.
