Bought this little kit for a few dollars on aliexpress awhile ago figuring it was an interesting project. I would not recommend it and I've already revered back to stock.

  1. It makes the cartridge bulge.
  2. The long term reliability is questionable (my chip seemed like a rebadge).
  3. It will not work correctly on the analogue pocket (and possibly the FunnyPlaying FPGA GBC).

Also I wouldn't use clips like this for the battery when you can use the HDR retainer. This was done years ago and I don't have any more of those on hand to replace it.

I have the GB Operator, and bought a Benn Venn rewritable GBcartridge. They do not work in the FPGBC, the games corrupt and glitch while you're playing.

I saw someone posted that in BennVenn discord. He is apparently waiting for his FPGBC to come in to see if it's possible to fix via code.
