Full description

Game Boy Player shell: a new base under your GameCube

The Game Boy Player attaches under the GameCube to display Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance cartridges on the TV. After twenty years, its case often shows scratches and marks. This BitFunx replacement shell reproduces the case of the DOL-017 model in six colours, to replace a damaged shell or to match it to a re-shelled GameCube.

What it does

  • New case: replaces the shell of the Game Boy Player DOL-017.
  • Six colours: translucent dark green, dark blue and purple, glacier blue, red and pink.
  • Matching: lets you match the base to a GameCube whose shell has been changed.

What it doesn't do

  • Shell only: no circuit board, no connector, and not the boot disc needed for the Game Boy Player to work.
  • It does not repair a faulty Game Boy Player.
  • It does not replace the shell of the GameCube itself.
  • Transferring the components requires a full disassembly of the Game Boy Player.

Compatibility

Game Boy Player DOL-017, the model that attaches under the GameCube. Not covered: the GameCube shell and any other accessory.

Skill level required

No soldering. You need to disassemble the Game Boy Player and transfer the board, the connector and the internal parts into the new shell. Have a security-bit screwdriver suited to the screws of your Game Boy Player and a plastic spudger ready. Intermediate level.

In the box

  • 1 replacement shell for Game Boy Player DOL-017, in the chosen colour.

The Game Boy Player and its components are not included.

The job: giving the base its looks back

The Game Boy Player spends its life under the GameCube, and it is often the one that has taken the knocks. You disassemble it, transfer the board and the connector into the new shell and screw it back together. The accessory works as before, with a clean case and a colour of your choice.

The part: six colours for the DOL-017

BitFunx reproduces the case of the Game Boy Player DOL-017 in six colours: three translucent ones, dark green, dark blue and purple, and three other shades, glacier blue, red and pink. Enough to match the base to a re-shelled GameCube or to make it stand out clearly.

Our support: preparing the disassembly

A shell transfer needs preparation: a screwdriver suited to the screws of your Game Boy Player, a plastic spudger, and a work surface where you can keep track of each screw. If you are unsure about your accessory's model, send us a photo: our customer service replies within 1 business day.

Why buy here rather than on a marketplace

It is a fair question. Here is the answer, straight.

We verify, they list

Every listing is checked before publication: real compatibility, material, dimensions, box contents. Many models never make it into the catalogue.

Customer service that speaks French

A question about compatibility, a fit problem, a return: you write, a human replies within 1 business day. In French.

2-year legal warranty, 14-day returns

The 2-year legal warranty of conformity is handled by us — not by a form on the other side of the world. And 14 days to change your mind, with no need to justify yourself.

The price is comparable, the rest is not

We do not claim to be the cheapest. We claim that you will know exactly what you are buying before you pay.
