I general stick with a GBC or GBA with an Everdrive, as well as a DSi with custom firmware. It gives me the benefit of original hardware without paying the absurd retro game prices.
No backlight mods. I actually like the stock screen. Not having a backlight is what gave the GB and GBC it’s legendary battery life. In addition, many GB and GBC (not not necessarily all GBA) games were designed with a non-backlit screen in mind.

Do you have a backlight mod for your Gameboys? I’m tempted to mod my GBA but I know I won’t use it lol

That said my GBA is a SP AGS100 (front light)
I understand the appeal of a stock console, but damn I could not play on a non backlight device anymore, was such a pita when I was younger lol.
I’d love some links for more info on that stuff!
