🕹️ Revive Your Game Gear: A Modern Upgrade! 🕹️
Want to breathe new life into your old Sega Game Gear? This build shows how to create a nearly new handheld using the original processor and cartridge slot, but replacing everything else!
Here’s what’s cool:
- Modernized Internals: New motherboard, high-quality screen, rechargeable batteries, HDMI-out, and even an FM sound module for better SMS game audio.
Original Feel: Keeps the original ASIC processor for a 100% authentic gameplay experience. It feels* like the Game Gear you remember!
- Options for All: You can buy components individually or get a pre-built unit.
- Important Note: ALL Game Gear consoles need capacitor replacements ASAP – they leak and destroy the motherboard! ⚠️

Worth noting: The Analogue Pocket with the Game Gear adapter is a simpler (and potentially cheaper) route, but this build is for the purists who want the original experience with modern reliability! ✨
