Around 20 years ago, I disassembled various electronics and scanned them on a flatbed scanner. The scans were 300dpi. Gameboy Color and Gameboy Pocket were among the items I scanned. You can see the scans at https://waltersgameboy.tripod.com/ https://waltersgameboy.tripod.com/
I don't remember why I didn't scan my DMGB. Either I had lost it, or it was too precious to me to risk breaking. As a kid, I bought it with my own money. I was probably 11 years old.
edit: I did find my DMGB eventually when I moved out of my family home.

- harha 5y agoWhat's a DMGB?
- DrBoring 5y agoOpps. I spelled it wrong. It's DMG: Dot Matrix Gameboy. It's what the Gameboy enthusiast community calls the original Gameboy. The name comes from the model number: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy#Development https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy#Development > The original internal code name for the Game Boy is Dot Matrix Game, referring to its dot-matrix display in contrast to the preceding Game & Watch series (which Yokoi had created in 1980) that has segmented LCDs pre-printed with an overlay, limiting each model to only play one game. The initials DMG came to be featured on the final product's model number: "DMG-01"

- whizzter 5y agoI think it's a mis-label. OG Gameboys had the product code DMG-01 (acronym for Dot Matrix Game) and when talking about different models people often use DMG to specify them or DMG Gameboy when the GB context isn't implicit.
