Thank you Tighe for inspiring me to fix my VB!  It had the dreaded display glitches in the right eye and if it weren't for your amazing project I probably would have left it to collect dust for a few more years. 

Fixing it was not easy (it requires removing some sticky stuff and resoldering some fairly small traces) but I've got it up and running again and am seriously considering emulating your design at some point in the future.  Now to get some more games, off to ebay.  I hope your build doesn't inspire too many people to dust off their VBs and make it harder for me to get games for a reasonable price...

Yes fixing a VB is a pain!  Did you know if you leave a VB on for like 10 minutes it clears up any screen issues in most instances?  This will last for a few weeks.

I wish I kept my VB.  I remember I used to use it without the stand, lay down in bed and just rest it on my face.  Worked awesome, but I could only play for 30 minutes or more until I got a headache... oh well.
