I still remember when the best we had in terms of backlighting the Game Boy Color was using an AGS-101 screen. It's crazy to think how far we've come with Game Boy mods. Definitely picking this up soon!

Most likely due to Chinese companies deciding there was a profit in it. Replacement LCDS are all over Aliexpress.

I don't see the point in the 2.0 screen over the 1.0 The hardware and its capabilities haven't really changed. The price is a wee bit higher. And the customization is not there because that laminated screen will never come off without damaging the IPS display, and the effort to modify your own shell more or less defeats the purpose of an easier installation. I don't get this version of the kit. It makes no sense to me.

@@briananthony4186 The laminated screen looks better in my opinion vs the previous GBC IPS displays. In addition, there's the added factor of having an illuminated Gameboy Color logo. I replaced a scuffed Gameboy Color shell with this kit and I'm happy with the result!

​ @Ryan Kao what's sad to me, is that I can't modify my 3rd Anniversary Pokemon edition with this IPS without removing my "glass" (don't know the exact name of this thing). I will then have to stay with my McWill mod until they maybe do some similar glasses.

That's a beautiful display!

Superb work, as always! Thanks for the tip about the game, too. Hadn't heard about this, and while I have approximately 32,768 RPGs to beat as it is, I decided to back this one.

The infinity shell is looking really nice. Was trying to figure out where it came from until I saw this was from retromodding lol.

At 4:57. I too have shaky hands soldering. As long as the solder holds, I’m cool.

Every time you post a new video on these devices it makes me want one as I never had consoles as a kid. Looks really awesome with the new display!

Now that's quite amazing! I'm sure The Retro Future will keep you up.

Great build, that screen is gorgeous 😍 Also, I feel your pain at 4:57 . I've had shaky hands (essential tremor) for as long as I can remember. I appreciate you leaving it in as I know it's annoying to have people question it all the time (e.g. "no I'm not nervous/cold/etc, my hands just do that" 😅)

Such neat work Colin. 👌😎 Great display!

Thanks! You made this super easy for a beginner-level solder.

I want that specifically to play Pokémon Crystal Clear.

I'm about to upgrade my teal GBC from '99 with a backlit screen and I discovered your channel. Looking forward to checking out your other videos. Also, I spy a Handspring Visor in your intro and I have the same one!

The Game Boy modding scene is insane nowadays. Game Boy Advance is my go to, but yeah DMG and GBC has so many cool things you can do, from audio to cases to buttons and more. Oh and Funnyplaying is one of my go to companies for parts and mods. Pretty quality stuff!

Seeing that Mario 6 Golden Coins looks like that in color blew my mind!

I was downright shook when the fake pixel gap was turned off, I thought the display just looked like that! Amazing kind of pixel density to pull that effect off so well. Rendering without the fake pixel gap looks so clean, I don't know which I'd actually prefer.

Excellent job.Thanks for sharing. Subscribed.

Wow that sure looks amazing! I'm sure your daughter will be really pleased with that. Good evening from Ireland 🇮🇪

Im glad this is getting recognized. I made 3 of these and are absolutely flawless

I just watched your original video on this topic nice timing lol

amazing screen and video!

Awesome! Great review of this mod. The gbc is one I still don't own, but otherwise I'd definitely be interested in this mod. Thanks for another great video.

I saw the palm pilot in the intro and was clobbered by a wave of nostalgia. Everything back then felt so groundbreaking.

Love the look of it black and gold With a bigger clear picture

Man, I thought I was the only one with bad hand shake while soldering. Happy to see I'm not alone :)

Awesome! Congrats.

Is so perfect, I wish they allowed to pick the original COLOR colors, but everything else, it makes you drool. Amazing video, better than ever!

Perfect place to pass time, great video!

Always like it when unfinished or near complete games from the past get released

This is awesome, it looks great too :D I’ve always wanted to do something like this

That's pretty cool they are finishing a game and sent u a copy along with the cool uv shell for the best backlit display for the gbc ever I wish they would have done a bigger one for the OG GBA but With mine finished it's aright.

Awesome build

Got the advance SP with a new ips display. Beyond pleased.

WOW, even the soldering looks really easy now. I guess I gotta get me a GBC and do this. I already have an IPS GBA.

8:00 was that Mario Land 2? Looks like a GBC version of Super Mario World for a quick second! Anywho, great video as always thank you!

Wow that's really nice screen

Dang, this looks good. I've already put an older IPS in my Color, but when I can snag another unit...

awesome video !

Damn this completely blew my expectations away

Apperantly the subpixel arrangement looks quite unique, I haven't seen a square one until now, most of the IPS screens have chevron or normal line type subpixels.

You should really consider getting a tip cleaner for your soldering iron. Tinning your iron and properly cleaning it will make it last a lot longer.

My favorite part of Friday mornings!

I think this is the best Gbc mod i've ever seen

Definitely gonna back Infinity just because it's such a cool project idea, thanks for letting me know about it! Also can someone explain how the top touch sensor works? Is it capacitive or something through the plastic and if so how? I have never seen one of those before. (Though I am also not much of an electronics person so it could be bog standard for all I know).

@t3rminus

It is a capacitive sensor. All capacitive sensors can work through thin layers of non-conductive materials, like plastic or glass (think about how your phone’s touchscreen continues to work even if you put a thick tempered glass screen protector on it). In fact, capacitive sensors can work without physical contact at all! If you’ve got a steady hand, you can scroll a touch-screen by hovering your finger a very small distance off the surface.

test point 12 and 13 near the start and select buttons also work with the start and select controls too

Awesome vid

I have an older IPS mod from my GBC but now I want this one - but ONLY if I can get the Infinity Shell with it!!!

Nice kit

Bold choice to keep the Nintendo logo's on there. I don't think Nintendo would care but on the other hand they are the people that won't allow people to stream their games.

You having shakey hands is actually inspirational

RetroModding is Awesome I did a DMG gameboy with thier screen and replacement shell Great CS and shipping

Its beautiful 😭

Nice flex with that Infinity game and shell lol

I'm glad I found this video. Time to resurrect my GBC

Nice GJ 💪 one question: Which Mario Game was it in this clip?!

Game Boy is gone, but not forgotten.

Crazy to think the modding scene has come this far since LOCA front-lights and trying to squeeze an AGS101 screen into the GBC with it barely being able to close the shell

Love the shell where you find it I need one 😍

That is pretty amazing! Now what do I do? I was thinking about just getting a good emulation device, now I am not so sure. Both my wife and I have GBCs (mine with a backlight kit)... Is it really worth it?

Got my kit from Aliexpress. It works great, but I had to relearn soldering which I haven't done for 20 years. Also it bricked the original gameboy I tried it on, because one of the wires got screwed in, I had to buy a second kit (and a second gbc) and that one is working great. I skipped soldering the wire for the buttons and only went with the power (which is required) and the touch sensor.

I think my funnyplaying screen must be slightly earlier than this? It uses the IR sensor to adjust brightness. That and having to 3d print a bracket for the shell. Still super happy though, especially when paired with a line out mod.

Wonder when we'll get OLED screens for the Gameboy with perfect response times.

Literally the only reason I don’t use my Gameboy Color anymore is because I’ve been waiting for a custom panel that has a backlight. This is awesome.

I am a top supporter of the infinity project, I wasn't even aware that this amazing shell exists, how do I get one?

Any recommendations for a drop-in/solderless IPS?

Godammit! Just when I thought I was done with modding for a while. The GBC keeps bringing be back with new mods coming out for it.

Oh wow...might be time to mod my childhood game boy beyond popping a glass lens on

Good looking upgrade. But for me the screen and speaker are welcome. Yet,for whatever reason I feel changes to the case as well ??? Is starting to wonder into a territory the UK residents will as "Triggers Broom" (Well older UK residents). Its the age old question that happens to sail ships. At what point is it still the same thing after you changed the screen, speakers, case and nearly the buttons 🤔 I know the pcb is the " game boy" . But... it almost comes over your holding a clone console and somehow it's losing almost more than its gained? I've asked the same question with some sega dreamcast "upgrades" where everything is gone except just the raw boad and the ports. The case, disc drive, power supply and bb adapter all gone for a call looking black tin? But is that still the essence of a dreamcast or game boy? Or is it some new born clone, hybrid remix edition? Maybe it's where I'm old? I mean I can remember the GbC, the original GB and... only fools and horses it seems. Good video, great looking screen. Thumbs up without a doubt and looking to seeing what happens next 👍

i'm looking to replace my DMG original screen with horizontal lines with something as close as possible to the original (no backlight, same resolution and pitch). It seems there is no transflective screen replacement to be found anywhere, any clue ?

Is the resolution of the screen an integer scale of the original?

How does this compare to the regular Q5 OSD mod? Is the main difference just that the logo lights up?

I would like to see a similar laminated option for the GBA

Are retromodding selling those shells? They are very nice.

RetroModding hasn't been able to ship this stuff to the U.S. for quite some time now. If your in the U.S. you can't even browse custom shells for the GBC.

i just did an order earlier today but i made a mistake and didn't get this sweet laminated screen. there's a cancellation fee on the site i ordered from. so it looks like im modding 2 GBC.

Ill stick to my little swirly led light that plugs into the side. THANKS

Cool! :)

Please tell me, can the lower inscription be turned off to save energy?

I just want that shell.

Hello sir! How about CGB-CPU-06 MOTHERBOARD, where is the select and start to soldered?

Does anyone know the name of the game at 5:38? The stunt racer in the bike. Thanks for the video as well! I just bought a gbc. I plan to mode it down the line. I'd like to buy another to give a fully mod. Had shared one as a kid and love the pixel look so I'm keeping the gbc for my pixel look and will install a front light then get a second for an ips build.
