I’m glad to see some more attention being given to the Pocket; they might be my favorite Game Boy models. While the IPS panels always get nice and bright and give amazing image quality, it’s so tough to want to do this given the battery life tests. Thanks for covering all the characteristics of this mod so thoroughly! Glad to see it done on a DMG style pocket too 🔥

At first, I thought It wasn't working. But I was using old, rechergeable Sony batteries. I swapped by a pair of common batteries, and it worked. Man, what a blast this IPS screen is!

@@MachoNachoProductions Good luck! I'm sure there's tons of them out there for the Pocket, so it should just be a matter of picking the one you like best.

An auxiliary 5v regulator can really help to increase that battery life. Simply desolder (or cut the output's trace) of the stock 5v rail, hook up the 3v and ground from the input of the stock regulator, and solder the output to the 5v input on the motherboard. Use some long wires to route the board to behind the speaker, while being mindful of the rear case's standoffs around the headphone jack area, and almost all of the Gameboy Pocket's power-related issues disappear. Flashcart compatibility is better, backlights stay a little brighter, and you can squeeze juuust a little more battery life out of a couple of AAA batteries. I wish there was more documentation on the process, but if you're willing to figure it out, a 2v (minimum) to 5v regulator seems to do the trick.

Hmm, a test with medium brightness and medium loudness would have been good. Nobody is using smallest or highest brightness setting (at least not usually). But I assume it should be somewhere around 2 hours, which is really a disadvantage. Don't think I will do this mod. I have an IPS modded GMB and GBC, these are working fine due to the AA batteries. GBP really needs a battery mod for using an IPS screen. PS: Nice and interesting video nevertheless! PPS: Nobody of the Gameboy fans wants to hear it.... but the best way to play classic Gameboy/ color games is still the PS Vita. I definitely prefer it over all my modded or unmodded Gameboys, it's even better as on a GBA AGS-101 or on a modded 3DS because of the much higher screen resolution (much better interpolation). Image is much larger as on a gameboy/ color but still perfectly sharp, even with interpolation, and with perfect contrasts due to the OLED screen. If you like, you can even use 1:1 pixel mode (wich has the best possible sharpness) and the screen size is still a bit bigger as a GBC screen. In addition it has good battery time, great controls and form factor. Personally I didn't find any better way to play GB/ GBC games. Also the Raspberry Pi handhels usually have screens with much smaller resolution.

Hey Thunderbird1337! Thanks for the comment! That's a great suggestion to have the volume turned on slightly. The only reason I turned it off is because I live in a small apartment and usually run the test at night while I sleep. As for the Vita, I think it's a fantastic console! I do plan on buying one at some point. That's good to know it does emulation well! I am planning to build a Raspberry Pi powered handheld in the near future, just waiting on some parts. Cheers dude!

What if you dont solder the brightness sensor, what is the default setting?

I don’t know the exact level, but to me the default brightness is perfect!

Totally agree! I hope one is in the works. Cheers!

Do you have any experience with the game boy camera on this? I'd do the mod just to see what i'm shooting :) but if it dims the display like a flash cart then I'd rather go with the GBC. Also, have you tried this mod with rechargeable batteries? Cameras (DSLR) perform way better with them than with normal alkaline.

Hey Peter! Great question and thank you for the comment! Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with the Game Boy Camera. I have always been interested in it but never got around to getting one. I’d imaging if the power draw is similar to a flash cart, you will run into the same issue. I really need to get one soon, they seem like a lot of fun. Yes, I used my eneloop rechargeable batteries with this mod and it works well although they don’t last very long with a flash cart and IPs mod. Cheers buddy!

I hope game boy color games can only work on a game boy pocket IPS mod pixel mode

Yep

I wonder if rechargeable battery mods are possible on the pocket... I could stomach this mod’s shorter battery life if I didn’t have to burn through AAAs all the time. I’ve seen Li-ion battery mods for gameboy color, but the pocket has so much less real estate to work with. I’ve also heard rechargeable AAAs aren’t always reliable for gameboys. Does anyone know if this mod is possible/already exists?

I haven't heard of any mods currently on the market. There is always the option to put in your own Li-Ion battery with a charging board but results may very in terms of how elegant the final product looks. I hope there will be a kit to address the Pockets battery life issues. I've had good luck with Panasonic Eneloop rechargeable battery. They are a bit more expensive but its better than buying Alkaline batteries all the time. Cheers buddy!

Ill wait for the v2. 70 bucks is not worth it for me. This happened when i bought the v1 ips screen kit for the dmg for about 90 bucks. Soon after v2 was released and for much cheaper.

That's a good idea! I'm sure there will be a v2 for this. It seems to be a popular enough! Cheers!

Isn't there a reliable mod replacing the battery?

I’m not sure if I’ve seen a commercially available kit, but there are definitely ways to get a lipo battery in the pocket. Cheers!
