First, is the board compatible with the backlit models, or only the frontlit ones?

Second, does the USB charge mod replace the original charging porr, or does it charge through the same port as the capture board? I'd buy it for self-installation and am not sure if it's safe to use the same cable for both video output and charging.

There are no frontlit models, they are all backlit. If its an original DS then it will work. The USB charging uses the same port as the video output to your computer. It is optional when installing it yourself. Using one single USB cable for video and charging works just fine if the USB charging wire is soldered.

Thank you, that's all I was hung up on. I take it that also means I'm safe to replace the Micro USB port with a USB-C one?

I don't see why not, as long as you match everything to its micro-usb equivalent then it should work fine?
