Great content. I really enjoy that you care about these game systems, and take the time to make these videos. I've taken your preferences and am going to do my sp mod. Yeah yeah, sp. Thanks man.
You are a bit wrong there, it actually wasn't the games being good that gave it the heads up from the competition... the competition had good games too. The real reason was 3 fold (and in no particular order) 1st, the battery life. Less power means it lasts longer. 2nd was the price. At the time, parents were the ones buying the systems so they'd obviously buy the cheaper system. Especially since, back then, our parents viewed video games as toys... 3rd, Nintendo was just a bigger more trusted name than the competition...
Maybe this was the joke he was making but in the UK you hear people saying the phrase "a metric butt tonne" quite a lot except butt is usually substituted for one of the more explicit four letter words lol. I wasn't sure if he knew that or was just saying it because people in Europe in general use metric but I thought it was funny that he said that phrase because it's something I assumed was only said over here lol
I appreciate the metric conversion! I thought retromodding had the option to get them pretrimmed? It's an extra $5 or something like that. Maybe it's only for the SPs
Your videos are really awesome. I installed an IPS screen and everything is perfect until I have to put the screws back, closing the shell. I think things are really tight because screen goes blank. Don't know if ribbon cable is bending too much... When I take out the screws everything works great again... Any hint? Thanx for your time!
I did indeed watch the video. Like 3 times over. Is it the RIPS V5 motherboard that lets you be able to do it? I know it has the 36 different colors, but just didn’t know it could produce full color. Unless I’m missing something?
So I was rehousing my gba sp and I noticed that the volume switch cover does not come of like the others. Is there a way to change that or would I have to get a new volume switch that allows me to do so since my ocd does not let me have the console one color and the volume another.

The „unknown“ board is the dc regulator board 💪🏼
Thank you! Makes sense haha
@@JakeSimmons you‘re welcome
It feels thick but it will fit !!! that's what she said 😅
That little daughter board is the power board!
Your attention to detail and descriptive method is bullet proof. Very good, engaging delivery for a mod process that is easy to follow.
Thank you so much!
Got a busted GB with a busted up screen coming in as my first project for something exactly like this!
Goddamn, that Dixie Cup look on the DMG-01 is sick
14:55 - that’s what she said
Alright maybe I will mod a DMG.
I know a guy that can teach you
@@JakeSimmons The man on the TH-cams taught me to snip the speakers off because soldering is hard 😩
How long does the battery last with this mod?

Ive been doing this for the past 3 years.
Show us any proof you’ve been doing this? Picture? Video? Anything? Didn’t think so
@@LavaCakes-g1g Bro took it personally💀💀💀
This is perfect. Inspired to do this myself. Thanks so much
Excelent video! Just in time for my own DMG IPS upgrade 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Just got my first soldering iron a couple days ago, fixed up a xbox controller and Im riding high off that success 😂 time for gameboy modding >:D
Instead of my mom’s, can I use my mother-in-law’s toothbrush … asking for a friend
Only on Wednesdays

Thank you for this’ planning on making an SDR radio receiver with a pic 3A*
This is just a gameboy color with extra steps and I like it!
Did they ever end up making pre trimmed shells?
Your videos are really awesome. I installed an IPS screen and everything is perfect until I have to put the screws back, closing the shell. I think things are really tight because screen goes blank. Don't know if ribbon cable is bending too much... When I take out the screws everything works great again... Any hint? Thanx for your time!
If I close my eyes, I hear pauly shore guiding me through this lol
If you close your eyes Jake sounds a little bit like Pauly Shore weasel buddy!
Nice. That's a lot of hard work.
I did a rgb baclight on mine with a 4 point dip switch and that was fun
That sounds awesome!
Can anyone explain how he gave this thing full color? List of parts ETC. I’ve been trying to figure it out, but don’t quite get it.
Did you watch the video?
I did indeed watch the video. Like 3 times over. Is it the RIPS V5 motherboard that lets you be able to do it? I know it has the 36 different colors, but just didn’t know it could produce full color. Unless I’m missing something?
@@dominicschollmeyer1090 it’s not full color. One of the palettes is multicolored
I see. Thank you. Much appreciated.
What screen do you get to make it a Colored screen
Does it have a motion blur effect?
Is it possible to do this with a GBC? I don’t own a DMG and I can’t find one for cheap.

Now I wanna mod a DMG lmao, too bad I haven't bought one yet, I only have a GBC and og GBA
I think it’s worth it but GBC and GBA are awesome too and cover all the bases!
You prefer retromodding over retrogamerrpairshop?
No. The opposite
You made a paper wax cup gameboy.

You would need a new switch. Some SPs you can swap them, some you can’t.
@@JakeSimmons thank you appreciate your time
What size of trywing does one need?
I use a Y0 bit
Will this mod work with using the original shell?
Yes but you’ll have to trim it like I did
why was the colour?
Some carts have color maybe because of the release of a game was close to the release of GBC
The ammount of likes being so little is criminal, this is extremely underrated.
Super Duper Duper dumb question will it play the clear GBC carts know
Does not play GBC games
@@JakeSimmons thanks for the reply. Really enjoyed the video
Is there a battery pack with type c charger like I saw for GBA?! I wanna mod my gameboy but I don't wanna use AA batteries still dammit! hahaha
Yes
Tack!
...
or maybe buy and mod a gameboy color
Cool
The gba was ez
No. You dont. It kills the value of the console.
Flush cutter and xacto knife machine go brrr
Mine gb classic screen is broken or pixel death on the sides...i cant find a new screen original for it?@@odd-jm6wd
