The SGB CPU is compatible with the DMG. By swapping the CPU, your Gameboy will skip the falling Nintendo animation. This decreases the boot speed.

How the fuck did you even begin to solder that?!? That's incredible

Thanks! Getting them off was probably harder than soldering them on. It took quite a bit of heat to melt the existing solder. After that, line up the pins and tac it in place and use drag soldering with plenty of flux.

#Rules: taken from r/gameboy

Rule 1: Be polite

Rudeness, namecalling, and/or hate speech of any kind are not welcome. Repeat offenders will be banned at moderator discretion. 2. Rule 2: Do not distribute copyrighted material

Do not publicly share ROM links or sites that illegally distribute copyrighted material. Homebrew and other aftermarket apps are allowed if the author permits it. 3. Rule 3: Stay on topic

This is a Game Boy community. Related content includes the original Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and hardware that is able to play those game libraries. (Super Game Boy, Game Boy "Macro," GB Boy Colour, etc) Occasional posts about fringe topics (Pokemon Mini, emulation devices, etc) may be acceptable, but will be removed if they become too frequent. 4. Rule 4: No buying/selling/trading

Rule 5: Self-promotion is ok in moderation

Self-promotion of your site/product/channel isn't forbidden as long as it's done in good taste, and not too often. If we see that your account or c/gameboy activity is overwhelmingly used for self-promotion, your posts will be removed. If any self-promoting post gets reported to the moderators in great numbers, moderators are unlikely to protect/defend it. 6. Rule 6: Post 'counterfeit cartridge' questions in the Fake Cart Thread

Rule 7: Use common sense

Moderators reserve the right to remove your post or take other action, even for things that are not expressly specified in the above rules. For example, spamming will result in moderator action, and nobody should be surprised when it does. If you have any questions or feedback, message the moderators and let us know!
