- With game gears in their current state needing capacitor or screen replacements, lets build a new one out of 2022 parts!
We'll be using a SYF mainboard utilizing the BennVenn display.
I do not profit on any of your purchase decisions!

Details in the next video!
U r such a great electronicus pal. I love ur work and the humor u soldering with it 😂
just something small i found worth mentioning bcs i love the game gear console ever since i was a kid.
Good job and wish u all the best !!!👌👍✌
btw congratulations cause u just got urself a new subscriber😉
I like that you have a towel for soldering on. Everyone should have a soldering towel.
it really helps avoid micro gashes on the lcd screen.
thanks for the comment!
I love seeing game gears being worked on! Not sure if I would have personally gone with the all clear lens but either way absolutely stunning!
It took a minute for it to grow on me, but I agree with you on the clear screen.
Thanks for the comment!
Love that clean clear look.
yeah. it really looks different than the other game gears!
thanks for the comment!
Very clean install. Nice work.
Bens LCD has certainly come a long way since I did that first shonky install with the first prototype.
is there a video you can share with us?
thanks for the comment!

I wasn't expecting this level of 'new', so it was a good surprise. Great video, nice work!
Im glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for the support!
I really enjoy watching those retro console repairs and mods.
Got another one coming soon! It's been a project for sure.
I love seeing the progress the BennVenn mods make over the years
and we're still getting improvements too!
such an exciting time!
Great video. I grew up with the Sega GG, and it was how I was introduced to many Sega IPs. Your clear, cleanest GG is sooooo 90's it hurts. Looks awesome.
Thanks for the feedback!
Really cool and nice work! This kind of stuff is pretty fascinating to me since it's so far over my head, lol. The idea of a game gear without needing so many batteries is really appealing for sure!
Never too late to learn!
Thanks for the comment!
Long time retro gaming fan here, I've never seen your channel before but this is super awesome! You've gained a subscriber here.
Welcome, and i'll try not to let you down then!
Thanks for the comment!
This Game Gear is absolutely legendary!
And you guys did a great job putting it together!
My go to with soldering TQFP components is by first just flooding the pins with solder and then going over it with soldering braid, but this looks much easier!
For that game port with the plastic spacer it might be easy to remove with a desoldering pump, but not sure if that would melt it too.
Im sure a desoldering pump would be fine. I was pretty aggressive with the hot air station.
A braid would work too (if youre patient)
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks TH-cam for recommending me an awesome channel, proof the algo sometimes does a great job.
Welcome to party!, Thank you!
7:34 now that is very clean
Glad you think so!
Awesome video man, ive never seen one of these that looks so nice
Thanks for the feedback!
Great video. Did you ever go back to solder the point near the brightness wheel for using Ben's screen? Wonder if that was the source of your grounding issue?
At 8:00, you can see that the image output is larger than the case frame. Is that pixel perfect?
With the scaling modes you can adjust the size to the case, but then it is no longer pixel perfect, right?
PS: Well done. I' ve been looking a long time for a video that shows exactly this.
You nailed it!
Thanks for the feedback!
Great content on this channel. I think I might have to buy a game gear soon.
They are pretty fun to repair / game on and are a great part of handheld history.
thanks for taking the time out of your day to comment!
It's really cool how those old consoles can be repurposed, I hope the twin ASIC models will be moddable too.
There is a twin asic version. Thanks for taking the time out and commenting.
Love the aesthetic of your build.... I'd like the same thing but with clear or white buttons 😃
I tried clear on clear but the buttons looked hidden. Still a super clean look.
Thanks for taking the time to comment!
@@retro-af Wonder if one of those LED button kits would work on it? That would get it to stand out 😁
@@my80chevettes ikr! theyve been sold out for over a month!
Diggin' it
thanks for the comment!
This insane and I love every second of it
thanks for taking time out of your day to comment!
Thanks for showing the mistakes you made. It’s a good way to remind people of when to be more cautious and how to fix things when they do go wrong.
Good eye!
I'll always display my messups in hopes that someone avoids it in the future!
That is so dope!
Thanks for the feedback!
Did you know that the Sega Game Gear lasted longer in North America than in PAL and Japan. The system discontinued in 1997 abroad, while here it lasted until the Game Boy, long thought to have "massacred" it like all other portable competition, was succeeded by the Game Boy Color and eventually the GBA. BUT!!! The Game Gear technically didn't lose, because while its lifespan is still shorter, even more so abroad, this is still a monumental sign of Sega's much more stronger American fanbase. While Japanese in origin, Sega consoles were American, preceeding Microsoft's Xbox.
NA Release Date: 1991
NA discontinuation: 2000, around when the GBC came out.
wow! i love these tidbits of information!
thank you for taking time out and sharing it with us!
Its weird that there isn't a mounting bracket provided and that you have to trim ribbon cables to make it fit. This is a really good idea for all those cap ruined game gears though
The new kits come with an exact length flat cable. I had to custom order those so it took a while 😅
Bennvenn provides a mounting bracket for a regular sega game gear.
The custom bracket was for a new SYF game gear and is offered! I just print my own with ABS plastic.
The trimming of the ribbon i agree with.
Thanks for the comment!
looks so cool
thanks for taking the time out of your day to comment!
you should have added a clean light to this lol.
I wanted to, but they were sold out!
Great comment!
Prefer to buy a completed unit or a send in service cuz I don’t have the skills, patience or time to do this build myself LOL great to see this process tho
I agree with you. If i didnt have the tools, I'd just purchase a completed one and save the time and headaches that come with it.
Thanks for taking time out of your day to comment!
Looks MIIIIIIIIIINT 😩👌
thanks for taking time out of your day to comment!
That looks super dope...+ I posted up your video
Thanks for the post and the comment!
Awesome I wish 🤞
thanks for taking time out of your day to comment!
Why does the speaker sound crunchy?
I use an oldschool, 90s test bench that i know works for the game gear before i introduce the new sound and power boards.
doesnt sound good, but it tells me if we are backwards compatible. 7:54 is using the new sound board, while the others use the test bench.
Great Question!
Would love one of these. Expensive though.
I agree. They're really just novelty devices for game gear fans.
Thanks for taking time out of your day to comment!
@@retro-af I am a massive Game Gear fan and have a cpl of Original ones and a McWill modded one but the BennVenn screen is in a league of its own. Reminds me of when I was a kid saving up for a Game Gear.
@@RBKing80 I always wanted a game gear as a kid, but my parents stated it was too expensive.
Seemed like the only-childs got them back then.
No time like the present to enjoy them now!
@@retro-af Yeah I have three siblings and I have to do a paper route to pay for mine. Was pre owned to. I remember being amazed
congratulations !!!exelente project I want to win this game gear 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
