There are a couple different vesions of the gameboy color that have
different output resistor locations that i have found since writing this artical, but the two that you need to find are usually in the same spot. Hope this helps as well! _LameBoy

Abstract

Introduction

How to do it
1. Get a soldering iron, a Game Boy Color, a pair of cutting pliers and an audio cord with a 3.5mm stereo jack in the end.
1. Open up your GBC. The screws are Nintendo specials and quite difficult to unscrew. I used a small flat screwdriver that connected to two of the three corners.
1. Find the volume potentiometer to the right. It has five pins. Solder the audio signal cords to pins 2 and 3 (starting from the top). (Pin 2 is left, 3 is right.)
1. Unscrew the board and flip it over. Locate the connection under the headphone jack that's marked '4'. Solder the audio ground cord to it.
1. Cut a small hole in the plastic for the audio cord.
1. Close it up.

The big advantage of this is that you can then carry around your GBC in your pocket, without having to worry that the Pro''''' Sound? cord might break.

Having just completed this mod, here's a few things to take notice of:
1. If you want to put an 1/8" jack in the suggested space behind the speaker, make doubly sure that it will fit with out hitting the speaker. The wall is curved there and will make the jack set against it at an angle, pointing it towards the speaker. A little trimming on the case and the jack solved this.
2. Pin #1 on the volume pot (from the top) is also a ground and you can use this instead of the headphone pin on the back side of the board. #1 is ground, #2 is left, #3 is right.
3. Plan the wire routing carefully and use very thin wire. I used pretty thin wire but decided to twist all three together to get some shielding. This caused some problems with getting the case to close properly. You can send the wires through the hole in the black edge pin connector for the cards and down the right side (right side when the back is up and open) and then across to the jack below the batteries. A little hot glue helped hold the wires in place in crucial areas.
4. It's pretty easy to make a Nintendo screwdriver with a nail and a Dremel tool. It might take you a few tries but if you plan on opening it more than once, it helps.
Good luck,
