It is a fully transparent Game Boy Color, where even the circuit board is made of clear plastic. This build stands out as an artistic and technical achievement, showcasing copper traces through a see-through acrylic-like motherboard inside a clear shell. Now, that is one Game Boy purist would want to have their hands on at any cost.<\/p>\n<p>Having reverse-engineered the Game Boy Color on her own, Natalie designed and had a third-party manufacturer produce the transparent printed circuit board (PCB). To achieve full transparency, she intentionally removed the ground layer, which is essential in modern electronics but unnecessary for the relatively simple architecture of the handheld device. The clear PCB uses a fragile acrylic-like material with a low melting point of about 200 degrees Celsius. This required extremely careful soldering to avoid damaging the board or components. In the end, it turned out well, and the final result is stunning.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nataliethenerd.com\/\">Natalie the Nerd<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-571684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/modder-builds-fully-transparent-game-boy-color-with-see-through-circuitry\/Transparent-Game-Boy-by-Natalie-the-Nerd-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/08\/12\/modder-builds-fully-transparent-game-boy-color-with-see-through-circuitry\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Modder builds fully transparent Game Boy Color with see-through circuitry\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/modder-builds-fully-transparent-game-boy-color-with-see-through-circuitry\/Transparent-Game-Boy-by-Natalie-the-Nerd-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-571684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/modder-builds-fully-transparent-game-boy-color-with-see-through-circuitry\/Transparent-Game-Boy-by-Natalie-the-Nerd-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/08\/12\/modder-builds-fully-transparent-game-boy-color-with-see-through-circuitry\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Modder builds fully transparent Game Boy Color with see-through circuitry\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/modder-builds-fully-transparent-game-boy-color-with-see-through-circuitry\/Transparent-Game-Boy-by-Natalie-the-Nerd-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"ea9098fd441dbe6b58f26fb9-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ad-1 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"ea9098fd441dbe6b58f26fb9-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-571679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/modder-builds-fully-transparent-game-boy-color-with-see-through-circuitry\/Transparent-Game-Boy-by-Natalie-the-Nerd-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/08\/12\/modder-builds-fully-transparent-game-boy-color-with-see-through-circuitry\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Modder builds fully transparent Game Boy Color with see-through circuitry\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/modder-builds-fully-transparent-game-boy-color-with-see-through-circuitry\/Transparent-Game-Boy-by-Natalie-the-Nerd-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-571679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/modder-builds-fully-transparent-game-boy-color-with-see-through-circuitry\/Transparent-Game-Boy-by-Natalie-the-Nerd-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/08\/12\/modder-builds-fully-transparent-game-boy-color-with-see-through-circuitry\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Modder builds fully transparent Game Boy Color with see-through circuitry\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/08\/modder-builds-fully-transparent-game-boy-color-with-see-through-circuitry\/Transparent-Game-Boy-by-Natalie-the-Nerd-5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Beyond the see-through motherboard, most of the console\u2019s components are translucent or see-through.
