First SP Mod - Avoided a Tragedy!

I've done a few mods now, but this is my first SP mod. My neighbor gifted me some great GBA games to do a custom mod for his childhood Game Boy. He picked out the buttons and the UV printed Funnyplaying shell. Added the M2 screen, USB-C mod, upgraded battery, audio amp, and new speaker.

When I first installed the audio amp, I accidentally bridged two pins and popped the F2 fuse. I initially thought I had completely killed the motherboard, but after a lot of diagnosis I was able to figure it out. The fuse finally arrived today and after replacing everything works perfectly!

It was definitely my most difficult mod so far, but it was very satisfying to complete. Hopefully my neighbor likes it!

What games should I play with my non-gamer partner?

My partner isn't a gamer, but I am. We've had a lot of fun playing games together, but she gets motion sickness from many 3d games and doesn't like games that are overly intense.

The games we've played the most by far are Pandemic, which is completely broken and unplayable at this point, and Catan, which is playable but not much better. We've played some FMV games like Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus, Telling Lies, and The Complex, and we've had a lot of fun with other games like Jackbox, Wheel of Fortune, and Jeopardy. We've dabbled in adventure/puzzle games like Sopa, Venba, had a blast with As Dusk Falls, and enjoyed Sunderfolk.

We tried playing It Takes Two, but the 3d was just too much for her. We tried Overcooked, but it was a little too intense.

I'd love to get some recommendations of what to play next! Game Pass is ideal, but I'm open to buying games too.

How did I do?

I picked these up recently. I'm pretty confident they are real but wanted a quick double check! HeartGold and SoulSilver do have the code on the back, it's just very faint and doesn't show up on my camera.

My Second Mod

This is my second handheld mod ever. My first was a Game Boy Color, and this one definitely upped the difficulty!

It features a new screen, shell, buttons, membranes, drop-in USB-C battery, and speaker - all from FunnyPlaying. The D-pad and A/B buttons are chrome green from Retro Game Repair Shop, and I used a RetroGlow RGB LED Flex Board from Hand Held Legend.

I ran into a few challenges along the way, but overall it was a really fun project!
