Comparison shots of three NGPC systems, each with a different screen configuration.

*Not shown: one with a worm light

Up first is an unmodified stock Pocket Color. Let’s be honest, playing that thing is near impossible, back then or now.

Next up is my first Pocket Color from back in the day with an Afterburner front light mod done by @jamma_nation_x probably sometime mid 2000s.

Last is the more recent full size IPS screen installed on one of the extra systems I had planned for a random pi project. I’m glad I decided to keep it as-was so it could land here

It’s not completely done, mind you. I had to borrow some parts from another unit to get it to this point so I’m still digging for those parts that go with this one. The shell also doesn’t sit quite flush so I need to work that out as well. Regardless… man, this is what I’ve been waiting literal decades for.

Still looking forward to what @bennvennelectronics might do in the Neo Pocket aftermarket screen game back when things are more normal again
