Original Game Boy (DMG)

Mainboard (DMG-CPU-06)

Traced based on high-res scans by Alex a.k.a. ArcadeTV.

Components were identified by desoldering and measuring everything on a DMG-CPU-06 board.

Note: there are several versions of original Game Boy mainboards, and these schematics have accurate information only for DMG-CPU-06

LCD board (DMG-LCD-06)

Components were identified by desoldering and measuring everything on a DMG-LCD-06 board.

Note: there are several versions of original Game Boy LCD boards, and these schematics have accurate information only for DMG-LCD-06

DC/DC power board (DC CONV DMG / DC CONV2 DMG)

Components were identified by desoldering and measuring everything on one board of each type (A/B/C/D).

There are several versions of the regulator board, but the board label is not enough to distinguish the different versions. gbhwdb uses unofficial type A1/A2/A3/B/C/D designation, which is also used here. Identify your board by looking at the following board version comparison photo:

Visual component references:

Known differences:

  • A1 vs A2 vs A3: one trace is laid out slightly differently at the bottom of the board
  • A vs B: exactly the same circuit, but the board layout has been redone and small components now come in MicroMELF packages (vs 0603 imperial)
  • B vs C: almost exactly the same circuit, but the input filter no longer has an inductor, and many component values have been slightly changed. Schottky diode switched from surface-mount SOT-23 package to through-hole DO-34.
  • C vs D: main circuit and components are identical, but an extra undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit has been added and board layout has been redone once again

Headphone jack board (DMG JACK 01, DMG JACK 02, DMG JACK 03)

Components were identified by desoldering and measuring everything on one board of each type.

Game Boy Pocket (MGB)

Mainboard (MGB-CPU-01, MGB-ECPU-01, MGB-LCPU-01, MGB-LCPU-02)

Traced based on high-res scans by Alex a.k.a. ArcadeTV.

Components were identified by desoldering and measuring everything on MGB-ECPU-01 and MGB-LCPU-01 boards.

DC/DC power boards

Components were identified by desoldering and measuring everything on one board of each type (A/B).

Type A (LSEP01088A1)

There are actually at least three different variants of this board with some minor layout adjustments, but the same schematics apply to all of them.

Type B

Game Boy Light (MGL)

Mainboard (MGL-CPU-01)

Components were identified by desoldering and measuring everything on an MGL-CPU-01 board.

Game Boy Advance SP AGS-001

Mainboard (AGS-CPU-11)

Components were identified by desoldering and measuring everything on a AGS-CPU-11 board.

Note: there are several versions of Advance SP mainboards, and these schematics have accurate information only for AGS-CPU-11
