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.
Good job! This is not an easy feat for an amateur!
Thanks! I’ve built a MGBC, a DMGC, a Funny playing GBA so I have some experience (though very much still an amateur).
Did you use a heat gun to get it off?
Hot air station. Put down some tacky flux and kept it moving around the chips at about 380c.
Good job! You’ve done the research!
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.
