A clever GameBoy Micro owner, John Tokash, discovered a secret/hidden jack on his GBM. He speculates that it could be used for a smart faceplate.
My guess is that it’s for a Micro VR helmet (I’m only joking), what do you think it does? Is it on your Micro?

I love this kind of stuff. Every time someone finds one of these wierd little odds and ends that Nintendo have left draped around, my fanboy organ skips a beat.

So that’s where the headphone jack is!

I’m still waiting for them to tell me what the port on the bottom of my NES was for..

looks a bit like an ordinary reset button to me…but that may be related to the low res image! 🙂 Guess it´s nothing worth mentioning if they hide it under the faceplate. May also be some sort of serial developer port…

Smart Faceplate sounds interesting…
Hmmm….maybe you can plug in the Play-Yan micro with an SD card and a WiFi Faceplate (acts like an antenna) and you can download GB, GBC and (maybe) GBA games to your GBm O.o

Actually, I’ve heard that there IS a way to hook up a LED faceplate for the micro… Maybe that’s how…
