What value is the extra capacitor on the original version?

[@Blehstor]

I've measured it, its 100uf

[@N269]

Since i just discovered what Kapton tape is, who needs tweezers to hold things in place...? Kapton tape is like a second set of hands. 👍👍 Great videos BTW. Excellent productions. 👍

[@jhob101]

Does this also affect the headphone output?

[@RetroSix]

No this just amplifies the speaker. We can make a headphone amp as part of the next design no problem

[@jhob101]

@@RetroSix that would be great! I use mine with LSDJ and the headphone output is insanely noisy! I could do the prosound mod, but then I'll lose volume to the headphones which I need.

[@MitchKarajohn]

Damn, I just recently got the previous iteration of this mod 😖
This is so much cleaner

[@RetroSix]

Yep, very long time coming before I got around to making all the wire free versions. Been like 18 months since I said I would do these lol

watching from Philippines..
coz of you retro is cool!

[@Asperius_zockt]

Since I put a Q5 OSD IPS in my DMG-01 I noticed that the stock speaker is buzzing, even when I turn the sound silent.
It´s not very loud, but noticable.
Will this mod also get rid of the buzzing?

[@RetroSix]

No but if it's a FunnyPlaying screen they are known to add noise. Better using the generic ones like what we have for the DMG. Also our CleanPower might help

[@jerb2k]

Does this fix the issue of only hearing 1 audio channel from the previous CleanAmps?

[@RetroSix]

CleanAmps have always been stereo input. Used to use the combined speaker stereo mix in, now they use the pre mixed left and rights. Both were stereo

[@savavlad]

I got this kit for my DMG. If I install the extra capacitor (minute 3:30), I get a short between the two wires and the GameBoy doesn't start. I checked the capacitor and it's fine.

Jump on our discord.gg/RetroSix and send install photos

[@savavlad]

​​@@RetroSix I figured it out: I had a short under the capacitor. Thank you for the short reply.

[@garrettjones6741]

@@savavladhow did you find out you had a short? I might have the same issue

[@Blehstor]

Are you planning to do a GBP version?

[@RetroSix]

We have the universal one for Game Boy Pocket that fits all game boys but needs wiring in

[@Blehstor]

@@RetroSix shouldnt be hard to do a GBP one, wire location is the same as GBC
