⁽¹⁾ Remember to purchase the shell for the circuit. It’s up to your discretion whether to use the one for Game Boy or Game Boy Color; both are compatible.

⁽²⁾ This could be optional. If necessary, it serves to reduce the side tabs that the circuit has. This depends on how faithful the shell is to the original; the tabs prevent the circuit from wobbling or shifting from side to side. If the circuit doesn’t fit into the shell, you’ll need to file the tabs slightly.
