I spent an afternoon fiddling with one of my Dreamcast VMUs and some old Nintendo DS parts trying to add a backlight to the LCD screen. I'm really happy with the results and how it turned out.
I used the tutorial below and a few other forum posts from around the interweb as a guide. I tweaked some things to suit my personal needs and the parts I had available.
