    Machine Shop 101: Do NOT wear gloves while using a drill press. The bits have a tendency to take hold of the gloves and twist. Often resulting in the loss of fingers, hands, and sometimes arms. An easily prevented injury or death. That little dremel and stand would probably break before a working mans hands would, but for the sake of proper shop instruction please do not ever suggest gloves while using a drill press. OSHA, your WC insurance, or some other safety inspector may disagree 'til their blue in the face, I'll gladly hand them some pigskin gloves and put them in the shop. Keep in mind that if you're not capable of ripping your own caught appendage quick enough it's gonna keep taking more. Wanna use the lathe next?

    You need a cork sheet under the plastic to keep it steady.

  • @TheDutyPaid

    Wearing gloves and using a rotary tool are not the best workshop practice. A pair of safety glasses would have been an better option.

    • @baldguywithbeard
      @baldguywithbeard 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Those are good tips - I was just about to write exactly the same comment! Generally using any kind of power tools and having gloves on is a risk of things getting caught up and pretty messy. And safety glasses would reduce the potential risk of parts of the casing flying in your eyes.

  • @EndUser2090
    @EndUser2090 6 ปีที่แล้ว +38

    The dremel montage is so bad ass. Its like you're working on an old GTO

  • @atelier_AG
    @atelier_AG 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Super video! very good idea to use the dremel in this way to be able to fit the screen. Just one tip, in stead of taking away all the necessary material in one go, try taking it away in multiple steps. This means less stress on the material, less heat being generated, and overall a smoother finish. This will take more time, but it is definitely worth it. I sometimes work with CNC machinery, and this dremel setup is very similar.

  • @AlexReyes-od4kv

    The dremeling part was so satisfying.

  • @joshuak4553
    @joshuak4553 6 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    You have no idea how much this video helps me. I needed some alternative way to close the top half of my kiwi GBC shell (raspberry pi project) and this may have just allowed me to fit a much larger screen inside. So thanks!
    EDIT: I also understand where you're coming from with how annoying it can be to dremel the plastic. It just boogers up and snags.

  • @PandaXclone2
    @PandaXclone2 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I still wish there was a 1:1 screen replacement solution. Even the Taobao GBC sidesteps these issues more neatly.
    **Cue the oncoming hate-storm**
    Still, I'll concede that everything that was wrong with this mod has been resolved, so good job with that modding community.

    • @guangsihan
      @guangsihan 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That Taobao LCD screen is slightly smaller than the original screen and it makes a huge noise, and most of all, it plays the games in a slightly slower speed (very minor slow down, and you have to A-B compare with the original to find out).

    • @PandaXclone2
      @PandaXclone2 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It will still fit neatly into the case without having to resort to drastic modification of the case and removal of the LED. And I don't know if this mod allows it, but the Taobao also allows brightness settings.

    • @guangsihan
      @guangsihan 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      PandaXclone2 No the taobao mod won't fit perfectly either, you have to brute force to screw back when closing the housing. His previous video shows that, and I have the taobao one myself and I can confirm on this. It still needs to trim down some of the housing. The benvenn mod (or it could be the Chinese version of the adapter) also supports brightness adjusting. The downside is that the screen/viewing area is smaller than the original GBC screen.

    • @Kalvinjj
      @Kalvinjj 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well to be fair, the GBA SP AGS-101 screen also has terrible speed if you go with an original one (tho re-reading I understand you mean processing delay not ghosting), so better option is to go with a new batch chinese part. Funny that the new knockoffs are better than originals but that's true. I've done classic GBAs modded with those and they did perform better (color reproduction and speed) than the original. Only thing it loses is on sunlight visibility, but well that's where the AGS-101 gets destroyed by the AGS-001 and classic anyway.
      To be fair I really don't know which one of the mods I prefer, I would go BennVenn cause availability, but no way I'm not giving credit to Taobao as well.
      All this knowledge of the signal interface makes me wonder how viable would it be to produce new drop-in screens of the original resolution, preferentially transflective, with enough people into the idea we can reduce the impact of the tooling costs significantly, and the individual part price isn't all that much usually.

    • @guangsihan
      @guangsihan 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Kalvinjj there's another Chinese seller who is currently developing a new screen for GBC, 1:1 pixel match, not doubling, backlit of course, but that screen is actually a little bit bigger than the GBC original (slightly bigger, like 1 mm wider). He said he got the prototype working but he's still tweaking around and will start to sell them in the future.

    thanks for the update! I've been unsure about the bennvenn mod for a while, and have an extra front light + loca (applicator) sitting in my apartment for a few years now debating to do this ... well, order a custom one. But interestingly enough, because of brexit, it'll be cheaper to order from retromodding and ship to Europe, than ordering from Jellybelly ...

  • @Kalvinjj
    @Kalvinjj 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Removing the screen's frame is one of the steps that was necessary for my classic GBA with AGS-101 screen mods. Tho on my mods I removed both metal shell parts of the screeen, as it does hold itself well without the back one (if removed carefully) when assembling back the modded console, and no need to fuzz around with the components, as the necessary cuts to shell and small trimming of the risen frame of the screen is enough to make the new screen fit. Heck I would bet I wouldn't even need to sand down the inner small inserts if I had removed the metal frame in 1st place (as it has the exact same internal structure).
    Also hell yeah that back sticker!

  • @juanjosegh2423

  • @bassstorm89
    @bassstorm89 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    To help with milling - get a machinist jaw for smaller parts to clamp it in. It will help cool the shell a bit and it makes it more heavy and therefor easier to handle under the milling bit!

    @rad._.3 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you have a spare lens keep that attached while you are using the Dremel it'll help keep the frame flush and not war because the glue will hold and take most of the Heat as well as the additional plastic on the screen

    Damn it’s like every time I think the backlit GBC is dead because of some problem, it comes back with a vengeance. Want light in your GBC? Try a frontlight! Frontlight not bright enough? Try the Kitsch-Bent backlight kit! Too washed out? Buy a clone console! Not the right aspect ratio? Buy a modded GBC from Taobao! Too expensive/not enough stock? Stuff an AGS-101 screen in there! Shell doesn’t close properly? Here’s a custom milled shell and some 3D printed brackets! No more power indicator light? We fixed that too! This search for the perfect backlit GBC has been a wild ride from start to finish. Now if we could only find another warehouse full of those AGS-101 screens, so people would stop destroying perfectly good GBA SPs, everything would be perfect.

    • @ThisDoesNotCompute
      @ThisDoesNotCompute  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Actually, reproduction AGS-101 screens have been around for a while and are readily available. No need to scavenge one out of an original console.

    • @griffinoconnor1523
      @griffinoconnor1523 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      This Does Not Compute Well I guess that means everything IS perfect. How long have they been around? I just recalled in your video about where all the GBA backlit kits went, that you proposed a theory that someone had just found a warehouse full of unused screens and that they ran out (funnily enough that was the first video to introduce me to your channel). Have you talked about these reproduction screens in any of your other videos? Are they the same aspect ratio as the original? I’d love to know more

    @hbarudi 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    If only there is a better 160x144 lcd, websites and companies only offer 160x128 displays all the time. But it did well using the 240x160 sp display and center the image on the screen with only 8 pixels from top and bottom removed and 40 pixels from each side removed by covering them up. Then about the case, I do not wish to dig into my clear-purple colored shell so I might want to simply frontlight it or there is a way to backlight the display if I peel the right set of layers and insert the light that way.

    • @Kalvinjj
      @Kalvinjj 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      well if you go with ANY screen mod you'll need to mod the case as well, front lights will need at least some small inserts cut for the front light wires.
      To be honest from what I've seen, I wouldn't really recommend it either (well you can see on Colin's videos how it turns out).

    • @Obscure_man31

    • @Kalvinjj
      @Kalvinjj 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, I just mean that since he doesn't want to mod his own case, he would need a new case regardless of which mod he goes with.
      Either do the cuts, or get a new case, whatever mod it is.

      I sure would agree, specially with the new tabs. Unless of course one has great tools at disposal and wants some color not available on the pre-modded ones.
      Heck that front glass and the modded back sticker alone would justify it!

    @Marc_Fuchs_1985 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Fascinating modding...... If you the already prepared shells wouldn't have been available, I would have suggested that you might do the milling in a little bowl of water, whatever would fit under the machine. This way, you could have been working at highest speed without melting damages. And the debree would have been flushed aside for better view. Anyway, I like the engineering level of that thing.

    I’ve been eyeing a GBC backlight for quite some time. Now with all the new screens I don’t know which I should get . From McWill , Freckle Shack , Ags 101 , and TaoBao . Someone help me decide . Thanks !!!!!

    I understand that back in the 90's, technology was not as advanced as today in the sense of the picture quality screens from any handheld, but man, imagine if every handheld out there came originally with this type of quality picture screen? I would have in my possession the game gear, atari lynx, neo geo pocket color, gameboy color and so on.

    Do you know where a good backlit Game Boy Color could be bought? Jellybelly is out of stock, and I see no place on the website to get in contact with them to call or email them about the Backlit being re-stocked. I would really love this piece, but I don't know the first thing about refurbishing and stuff. Nor would I like to buy the type of machines stated in the video to just make this one thing. I would really love your help, thanks very much! If you can't help, its fine! Loved the video!

    Hey. This video was published on my B-day, in my mind, I want to mod my GBC with that glorious screen. I enjoy GB+GBC games, quite a lot. I'm going to do all the modding myself, I already have the donor console and 101 screen, haven't bought BennVenns
    ribbon adapter yet.

    Does the power switch lock into place, or is it loose?
