please can anyone give me a website that sells replacemtn screens for the Gameboy pocket?
There's no website that sells replacement screens the only way to get one is to order another Gameboy off of eBay and take out the screen
I get mine from Handheld Legend. They have all the Gameboy parts you could ever want.
