I love bootlegs. The history of piracy and copyright-defiance in general really fascinates me, but I have a really specific taste when it comes to boots. For one thing, I'm not big on the 90s-era Dendy-esque "GRAND DAD MARIO" kinda games, and anything that was made post-2000 doesn't interest me at all (seeing Mario Sunshine art on a famiclone cart using the cheapest, flimsiest yellow plastic known to man gives me some sort of visceral reaction), but if it's old and odd, chances are I'm interested in it, especially if that means original artwork.

When it comes to almost 1:1 recreations of legit games I honestly don't mind it at all. I own a CIB bootleg of Shadow Dancer for the Mega Drive that looks almost 100% exact but is missing the Sega logo and some other text and symbols on the cover (oddly, the removal of these bits means you can see more of the artwork than on a legitimate copy, making me wonder if they just "filled in" the originally-obscured areas themselves or if they also possessed a clean copy of the cover artwork). I'd gladly own any number of retro games in a similar condition, even if they were counterfeit, just because it intrigues me. In the same breath tho I have zero interest in modern Chinese bootlegs. Legit or fake, it still has to be retro.

On that same note, I sometimes find the bootleg stuff cooler than the official, especially in the case of some famiclone carts, like the Whirlwind Manu version of Lupin III. Sure, it looks largely identical, but it's a counterfeit version of a game about a thief. Something about that is just inherently cooler.

Thank you so much, I seriously appreciate it. I know, it's definitely a pain to take apart (and put together again). So many screws...

If you can wait a few days, I'll do it for you. I'm sick as fuck right now and just don't have the energy to take it apart for photos.

I understand completely.

If I have time tonight, I'll get you a pic. Otherwise, I can get you one this weekend.

Thanks a ton, I really appreciate it. Sorry about the hassle.

Does it actually look like a component was placed? A lot of times manufactures leave unpopulated areas on the board. These changes with board revisions or regional differences, I'm no expert on the gameboy player though, I don't have access to mine at the moment, otherwise I would take a pic for ya.

Yeah, there was definitely a transistor there prior. There's photos online of the PCB showing the transistor but none of them are a high enough resolution for me to read the actual value.

I have a Game Boy Player in non-working condition that I've had since childhood. Long story short and one tragic backstory later my mom got in a not-so-great relationship with a not-so-great guy at one point when I was young who decided to take out his adult temper tantrum on my poor Gamecube one night. After he hurled it at the wall like a cubical wrecking ball made of Japanese plastic (I guess Chinese technically based on the sticker on the bottom of my specific console) the Game Boy Player ceased to work correctly and the system has forever been cracked and bulging apart since.

All that aside, now that I'm 23 and I know how to solder I decided to take apart my GBP and peep inside for any possible damage that might've occurred that night, and lo and behold there's a missing... transistor? I believe? At position "U20" on the board. It's a tiny SMD transistor as far as I know (god I hate microsoldering) but it's missing entirely, leaving just the solder points behind.

I was wondering if anyone had any opinion as to whether I should just get a new GBP or try to replace this transistor, and if so, would anyone be willing to take apart their Game Boy Player and take a hi-res photo of their U20 transistor? Or, alternatively, read off the value of the transistor that's missing. I'd honestly appreciate it immensely.

I'm umjammercammy from NintendoAge, I like trading money for video games and now I'm here to trade money for YOURS... provided it meets my given criteria and is a fair and respectable price.

I'm looking for a black Gamecube system in good condition with minimal scratches and a Digital AV port on the back. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have one. Thanks.
