I don’t know if this has been posted here before, I’m too lazy to search for it. But Woozle, the guy who recently created the GBA consolizer has a page on his site dedicated to an NGPC consolizer. I’m not sure how far along he got with this prototype, but it’s looking really promising.

I’ve been wishing for something like this for a while. I hope he gets to producing it!

That looks awesome. I want to play my NGPC more but this is what I’ve been waiting for.

Wow! I hope this project gets the support it deserves. Can’t wait to see this one come to fruition.

Totally. I'm hoping that if enough hype is generated, perhaps Woozle will get some motivation to pushing this through to the end. I'm on deck for his GBA Consolizer, which I've seen reviews of it saying it's pretty great. So I expect this to be equally awesome if it ever comes to light. fingers crossed!

backlit NGPC should be shipping soon. The seller on Etsy just sent me some images before he ships & they are looking GOOD.

Looks fantastic! But the $250 price tag is a bit hefty. AND you have to supply your own NGPC. Give some time, I’m sure this mod will be accessible.

That looks really impressive. Keen to hear your thoughts when you’ve got the unit in your hands.

The screen quality and colors look great, but is there some kind of scaling going on?
Maybe it's an effect caused by the pictures, but it looks like the pixel size is uneven (like it happens in the GBBoy Color)

that looks amazing. The price is a premium, but I didn't think that was even possible.

It's too bad the screen he's replacing it with isn't the same size as the original. Also, it looks like there's some odd scaling of pixels in those images. Maybe because the screen isn't the correct aspect ratio?

BennVenn is working on anew drop in backlit LCD. Definitely something to keep an eye out for as he does good shit.

It looks like a bootleg GBA that I have. The issue there is that although the screen is of good quality, the resolution is slightly higher and the image is stretched to fit the screen. It looks okay with most stuff but text looks horrid on it.

That scaling would bug me over time, looks pretty cool though. Hopefully the other solution being worked on doesn't have that problem.

I picked up a second one yesterday with 3 games.

One of them being Metal slug but I already have that so will flog it.

I plan on mod’ing this one with a front light.

I just bought a NGPC after giving up and selling mine twice before. I just couldn't see the screen. The BennVenn mod rumors is what prompted me to jump back in...

Which metal slug? The second one is a ton of fun and I prefer that one

I'm waiting for the BENNVENN protos to be done, so he can start making more units. the backlit looks amazing, plus it's cheaper than the Etsy guy.

After years of lurking around here I am glad I finally have a NGPC and am loving it with Metal Slug: First Mission. Timing is right to, with Benn Venn's LCD kit on the horizon and hopefully greater availability of the Neo Geo Pocket SD soon. What a time to have this little piece of greatness.
