Reviving Nostalgia: Bringing Back the Classic SEGA Game Gear

Ойын-сауық

In this episode, I share my journey of resurrecting a classic SEGA Game Gear that I bought on eBay. This is not just a how-to guide, but a personal adventure into the heart of classic gaming. Watch as I meticulously replace the faulty capacitors with generic parts and breathe new life into this classic Game Gear.
This video chronicles my experience with this classic SEGA Game Gear, the lessons I've learned along the way, and my appreciation for the beauty of revitalized retro tech. This journey is perfect for those who are interested in the world of classic gaming or are considering undertaking similar projects with their own classic Game Gear or other retro consoles.

    I'm so glad, that I found your channel, because I love the way you approach things. And I see that you love handhelds as much as I do. So I play a lot of New 3DS at the moment, but there's one thing that seriously annoys me: No bluetooth! I absolutely love wireless headphones, I use them all day every day for everything and adding Bluetooth audio capabilities to my beloved 3DS would make my life better. So my request/challenge for you would be: Make a video where you add bluetooth to your 3DS. I mean it has all the bells and whistles like wireless charging and USB-C and stuff. But being actually able to use it with headphones on the go would be an unbelievable upgrade.

    Hi Marc, thank you so much for your support. Suggestions are always welcome! Sounds like an exciting project. But I need another 3DS first. With the AirTag mod, the space inside the device shrinks enormously. 😁

    Dude, the GameGear is much bigger than I remember. 😂 Somehow it felt smaller in my memory. hahahaha

    Hi Rob! Indeed, the device is very clunky! 😁

    Hi Sebastian! Thank you! I am still using the rest of the old flux. I will mention it in the upcoming videos when I switch to the new flux. Stay tuned :D
