The Pocket Color mod is one that has always interested me, as someone whose first Game Boy was the Color, and who has developed a fondness for the Pocket during my time of building Game Boys. Natalie's PoCo Plus board is the greatest way to bring together the best of both worlds: the playability and features of a Color, in the form factor of a Pocket. And believe me when I tell you that this mod has EVERYTHING built into it that you'd want in a modern Game Boy. Stereo speakers, safe USB-C charging, controllable and toggle-able LED lights, dedicated solder points for button-controlled inputs for the IPS screen's OSD menu... it's all here. And the best part, you have the support of Natalie herself, who is an absolute genius and thought of everything regarding the schematics and detailing how everything goes together and what controls what. Seriously, this mod couldn't have gone even half as smoothly as it did for me, were it not for her very careful and detailed instructions and tutorial videos. If you're looking for the greatest way to play the entire Game Boy to Game Boy Color library at a stellar price point, this is it!

Thanks a billion, Natalie! I can't wait to spend the hundreds of hours that I know I will be logging on to this beauty!

This is incredible. The POCO Plus is by far the easiest POCO Mod I've ever done. As long as you're comfortable removing and reattaching the CPU and RAM, you're all set. The price is crazy good too. Honestly, it's worth it for just not having to solder every single component. If you're looking for your final POCO Mod to truly enjoy this pint size GBC, you've found it. Buy anything from nataliethenerd and the won't regret it.

I have bought a few products from Natalie in the past and all have been well made and well priced. This however in my opinion is just an a rediculously amazing deal. It adds so many features over a traditional pocket color with old oem cut color board/parts. You gain a lipo battery, true lipo support /modern power handling /charging, stereo speakers, all new components, a toggle wheel to control screen modes (replaces the pocket oem contrast wheel which, the color doesnt use), leds, etc.

Besides the physical product, the build experience is not for the faint of heart/someone new to soldering… that being said, i had never soldered any surface mount components before this project, and i honestly didn’t have too difficult an experience with it. If you do research, watch vids, go slowly and take your time its pretty straightforward. I had a blast building mine and i will def build more in the future.
