Also the thing that makes this so beautiful is that fact that jake is always so like cool and calm and austin is just straight up chaotic energy we need more of this
Watched all of the video and got hyped. Seeing someone who builds PCs for a living struggling on modding a retro console was funny. Keep up the good work Jake!
Love this screen mod for the sp, wish I had more time to finish/add mods to some of my consoles. Constantly drawn back to gb macros though. I have a lot of projects right now and have been putting my time elsewhere, it’s good to see someone completing something lol.
Genuinely enjoyed this video. I love the banter and the dry humor. I don't even want the Gameboy lol just wanted to say thank you and I just subscribed so I can't wait to see what's next!
Great video. Really enjoyed the way you guys put this together. Recently modded an SP myself too - rusty soldering skills really on show That one missing screw cover got to me though!
That was good crossover, worth a watch. Good job on the gameboys, brings back memories of boarding school with my original purple GB advanced (2001) edition. The only game boy in my school at the time.
I fixed up a pair of SPs like this last year. They were saved from a recycling center and looked like they were ground into a pile of gravel. Both are re-shelled and have screen replacements like this. They're fantastic little units now!
I think the best way to teach people about soldering motherboards is, They're much more durable than you think. I've literally COOKED my motherboards trying to get solder to stick when I first started... You honestly dont need to be that delicate, Its very simple. If you dont know, Dont poke it with the soldering iron. If its not chrome like solder, DONT POKE IT WITH THE SOLDERING IRON. Just get an old junk board out of something random like a channel changer, Practice on that. Stick a bunch of solder to it. Youll get better.
After we got the screen working we cut the cameras and I ended up working on it completely disassembling and reassembling it for like 20 minutes so I was way more nervous than I looked😅
I loved the SP more, but if I do a GBA then I have to do the classic model because the SP is too small now for my adult hands so it’s awkward to hold and can cause finger cramping.
i like how this is step by step and not time lapse i tried to put a lcd screen on my ags 001 cobalt blue but i swapped it to metallic purple but now it does go on
You’re right it’s not that dangerous as long as you’re aware of your surroundings. It still is 300 degrees Celsius and will melt your finger and set stuff on fire.
I was popping out the hinges on my sp when reshelling. My daughter asks me a question, I loose concentration for a second, the hinge pops out and the precision screwdriver went straight through my index finger and out the other side.
Broo what no way today I watched this video was my first time seeing your channel and I loved it I subscribed immediately I've been watching all kinds of ur videos all day today love the content definitely gonna have to enter the giveaways the Gameboys I see u make are soooo cool it's art but u still can play your fave gameboy games on them a lil added bonus lol love the content keep up the good work
Also the thing that makes this so beautiful is that fact that jake is always so like cool and calm and austin is just straight up chaotic energy we need more of this
I was sweating bullets but I appreciate that you think I was cool and calm😂
@@JakeSimmons I mean understandably. i'm only 10 minutes in and i gotta give austin some credit for his self control so far he hasn't sniffed anything
It's so nice to see almost raw footage of a gameboy building instead of the shortened and editing on Austin's channel, great video!
Yeah you leave a lot out cutting an hour down to 4 minutes but that’s what my videos for!
But I wish the cam was near the action and not on the guys.
I loved seeing Jake be an absolute professional and literally holding Austin's hand from start to finish! Nice job Jake!
When Austin was reacting to the assembled GBA you looked so proud, awesome to see you hanging with and impressing one of your heroes!
SP has always been my favorite. This was really cool to watch. Very chill.

Won't lie the gameboy samus game boy looks amazing and the other mods for the GBA SP is a really amazing to see. Hope to see more.
Jake, this build (aside from all the shenanigans) was so amazing! Love the way the builds turned out!
I love how careful and thoughtful Austin is trying to be in this build and he's just getting absolutely roasted the entire time.
It be like that sometimes
I got a black SP that had “who are you?” Printed on it many many years ago. Still have and can play it today.
been watching Austin for years, definitely following you now too. good video
Genuinely enjoyed this video. I love the banter and the dry humor. I don't even want the Gameboy lol just wanted to say thank you and I just subscribed so I can't wait to see what's next!
It’s comments like these that keep me going man thank you so much💜
Im loving your videos man! Keep them coming. You are very talented and your mods are out of this world.
0:00 how long were u hiding under there!
Great vid, btw ur lighting and colour grading is gorgeous
Haha thanks but I just used Austin’s LUT
That add timing for the sister calling was so perfect 🤩😍
Great video. Really enjoyed the way you guys put this together. Recently modded an SP myself too - rusty soldering skills really on show
That one missing screw cover got to me though!
Yeah idk where it went😂 nobody said anything and I didn’t notice until I was at home editing it
Jake's great for fixing the Gameboy and keeping his cool around that dude with the glasses.
That was good crossover, worth a watch.
Good job on the gameboys, brings back memories of boarding school with my original purple GB advanced (2001) edition.
The only game boy in my school at the time.
dang austin 19:23 those veins are lit, good job working out. AND I LOVE THE GBA SP!!!!!
Overclocked Orange decal was amazing on that orange case!
LMAO dryer sheet! I've pulled those out of clothes while at work!
My SP is the same age and still works fine. Glad to see it's possible to update it .
I fixed up a pair of SPs like this last year. They were saved from a recycling center and looked like they were ground into a pile of gravel. Both are re-shelled and have screen replacements like this. They're fantastic little units now!
so much unbridled rage without any overemphasized emotions
i can tell you wanted to tear him apart
I now am Addicted to your channel! Great video man! (I also like your Mustache lol)
“This screen is going to be crystal clear”
*plays black and white port of wordle*
What were you doing under that table at the beginning?
the dichotomy of you and Austin was hilarious😂
Good choice in color! I went with clear orange too but with black buttons instead. Just did it recently too.
Awesome crossover and I love how the Samus Gameboy looks beautiful
Ken has amazing B roll to make it look better!

Well you made it, you got the 50k! Congrats, I've enjoyed this video a lot :D
That is a beautiful gameboy.. I like the usb-c addition
this video is raw as hell, earned a sub!
Great video. Great energy! Thanks!
Dang i wish i was part of the videos. It looked like you guys had alot of fun. Best part was Austin face after every roast
Funnyplaying made this so much easier and I'm so glad because as a beginner I wouldn't had been able to mod mine if it had so much solder to do
Both Gameboys (giveaway one and one for the vid) were beautiful. props for the work. How long did the Samus one take?
Original game boys are a lot easier to mod so way less time
Amazing intro man I love how you were never completely hidden
Brilliant work Jake, that must have been frustrating lol.
After we got the screen working we cut the cameras and I ended up working on it completely disassembling and reassembling it for like 20 minutes so I was way more nervous than I looked😅
Man, that gameboy is sick
The sp can already drink everywhere but the us
Makes me miss my old SP.
The time machine thing had me DYING 🤣
next year it will be able to drink
me: *Laugh in German*
This guys logic if logic didn’t start rapping
Austin reminds me of my senior design partner. I hate my senior design partner.
The thumbnail, I legit thought this video was from A E’s channel!
That was the goal!
Same
This is why we call him "The Torch".
Definitely going to be checking out your channel from here on out
i am impressed by the assembly but i just die laughing from the savagery
this was the video that inspired me to grab a modded gba sp with a tv out option from jake
Such awesome work. The nostalgia is real
I read “the nostalgia is real” in Austin’s voice😂
@@JakeSimmons 🤣🤣
I wish it was fully opaque, that retro Nickelodeon orange/Nintendo Spice Orange on a Gameboy looks so nice
Dude your work is amazing, i want one so badly
RGRS represent. Thanks for supporting.
Great vid man 👍🏾🙏🏽
Amazing videos
My favorite part of youtube is finding incredible people and channels through incredible people's channels.
I love finding incredibly nice comments
Well done on the collab, you have a talent 👍
I loved the SP more, but if I do a GBA then I have to do the classic model because the SP is too small now for my adult hands so it’s awkward to hold and can cause finger cramping.
Lol 90% of stock Game Boy SPs look like they've been dragged behind a truck.
THE MOST AMBITIOUS CROSSOVER OF 2022!!!!
I didn’t even know their were giveaways, was just watching it for the sp
Everybody and their mothers are building their version of ultimate GBA these days.
I love watching Austin be so unknowledgeable with retro consoles
This was a great video
Austin is just so bad at the soldering its funny
Roasting Austin because his house burned down…. 😂 that’s some true friendship right there.
i like how this is step by step and not time lapse i tried to put a lcd screen on my ags 001 cobalt blue but i swapped it to metallic purple but now it does go on
It was the dryer sheet for me
"We have a bunch of different ones with parts missing"
Why is this me though? Lmao
Dude retro remastered is fully sold out of everything gameboy. Please restock
Gotta catch the live streams. They sell as soon as I list them!
@@JakeSimmons damn ok for sure, send the link.
@@airjsn9769 just subscribe lmao streams Mondays and Wednesdays at noon pacific
@@JakeSimmons ohh for sure, I thought it would be on twitch.
@@airjsn9769 ahh I understand. I just like to have it all on one channel
Game Boy Respecter Austin Evans
These builds are amazing!
Whoa! I am here for this kind of content!
14:17 unless you are soaked in gasoline soldering is not that dangerous. Worst thing is you get a bit burned that's it.
You’re right it’s not that dangerous as long as you’re aware of your surroundings. It still is 300 degrees Celsius and will melt your finger and set stuff on fire.
Glad to be new subscriber man✌️
Logic going crazy on the gameboy sp
I thought he would be a better singer irl
I was popping out the hinges on my sp when reshelling. My daughter asks me a question, I loose concentration for a second, the hinge pops out and the precision screwdriver went straight through my index finger and out the other side.
Oh jeez now I’m gonna think of that every time I do a hinge😳
I thought this was Austin’s channel for a sec 😂
28:00 "that's it" that's how i felt when backlighting my GBC... turns out i bent the expensive custom ribbon cable just a bit too much x_x
Guy in the white was standoffish as hell 😂
thats an amazing custom Metroid gameboy
Great video! I follow you from Argentina I found you after a video you made with Elliot.
Great content!
The greatest Game Boy was the Color. SP is nice, I like the whole line, but never trust anything with hinges not named RAZR
This is a phenomenal video
Awesome content broseph!!!! And have your seen the slate????
broseph its my latest video
The hinges are the worst to remove. I broke my shell and cut my finger on the brittle plastic.
Brooo that Gameboy is so sick omg
Broo what no way today I watched this video was my first time seeing your channel and I loved it I subscribed immediately I've been watching all kinds of ur videos all day today love the content definitely gonna have to enter the giveaways the Gameboys I see u make are soooo cool it's art but u still can play your fave gameboy games on them a lil added bonus lol love the content keep up the good work
Thank you for the content! I appreciate it. You did a great job. I subscribed. You look like a cool dude. Look forward to see more!
Have a nice day!
apparently that silver color is called platinum silver
Next year it’s gonna be able to drink🤓
I’m using a spare battery screw behind where the game goes and I used same length screw in the middle same as the corners rip lol still works tho 😂
The gameboy advance sp has a special place in my heart and it was nice seeing it after so long
What are those hard shell cases he had them in at the beginning of the video? Pelicans?
Love it here! 25k sub soon 💪🏾GG
i've reshelled an original advance, i do not hav enough confidence to reshell an SP
the best crossover of all time
Hey guys this is Austin
yay the ts100, my daily driver
