Overview

This adapter enables the easy use of a Game Boy RIPS V5 display replacement for a Mega Duck handheld without any soldering inside the handheld. The pinout of the Mega Duck display and the IPS display, as well as the idea for this, are based on Ruud van Falier's great hackaday article Mega Duck (a.k.a. CougarBoy) IPS screen mod.
