The Frogulator is a replacement DC regulator for the Game Boy Color, with 100% more frog! Works well in conjunction with my other GBC/MGB mods. Please carefully read features and notes below!

Features
Generates 5V rail used by system and popular backlit screen kits.
Built in battery indicator. Frog eyes change color when batteries are almost spent.
Battery indicator can be switched between NiMH and LiPo mode using switch on back. Stripe on switch corresponds to NiMH mode.
Works with both the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Pocket when using an aftermarket backlit screen.
Great choice for Pocket Color/PoCo/MGBC builds when paired with OSD IPS kit.
Notes
Does NOT work with OEM screens, including those that are backlit/biverted.
Efficiency depends on screen kit used. See "Tested Screen Kits" below.
Battery indicator is tuned for LiPo and NiMH rechargeable AA batteries. Use in a Pocket with AAA batteries will result in low battery indicator showing for longer.
When used in a Game Boy Pocket with the FunnyPlaying IPS kit, brightness control will not work.
Tested Screen Kits
FunnyPlaying GBC Retro Pixel 2.0. Efficiency with this kit depends on whether or not the PWR wire is connected on the screen ribbon(ribbon v2.6+ only). See charts in images.
GBC Q5 OSD IPS. Frogulator is more efficient than stock regulator. See chart in images.
Cloud Game Store 2.45" Backlit LCD. Efficiency not tested.
Other CGS kits should work, but are currently untested.
