Faulty Brightness Controls -- One Chip 2.45" GBC Drop-In

This is the kit from my recent stream: • [STREAM] 2.45” Drop-In...
I do not recommend this kit until they can fix the brightness inconsistencies and the power usage.

on a scale from 1 to 15, it's feeling 41

Hopefully it's just some cold solder joins, they said they found the problem but It's gonna be hard for people to differentiate the fixed revision from this one

[@makho]

It's 100% a firmware bug. The fixed kits are going to look identical since they're just going to reflash the firmware on the hardware they already have.

Would you still recommend this drop in kit? Have a pokemon gbc I don’t want to swap the screen or cut any of the inside shell, and saw this and got excited but this isn’t selling me on it
Any other drop in recommendations?

[@makho]

The power usage is absurd. Look into cloud game store’s offerings.

[@ricardobriceno5614]

one chip is the same as cloud game store?

[@drivenbyfate]

I believe one chip is now known as hispeedido

[@makho]

Not at all.

[@icyds]

It shouldnt do that.

[@klayH66]

Yikes 😬

[@zeomax9635]

As long as the brightness control works who cares what number the OSD is showing.

[@makho]

But brightness controls aren't working properly. That was the point of the video.

@@tragiclostgaming nah, I wasn't doing it anyway and I already told them as much. This behavior has only strengthened my resolve, however.
