Honestly this is one of my favorite videos you've done in a while! It's such a neat device with such a brilliant design; it's a shame it's not more reliable and obviously not finished. If this is a prototype and GameboyCustom does release a finished product, I'd love to see you review it!

Great work Elliot! You now look so at home with a nest of wires and a soldering iron. You’ve come a long way since your first mod! That SD card is probably not corrupt, it just has lots of “._xxxxxx” files that are left there by macOS. Just scroll past them and the real files should be there further down the list

Wow, this is basically the same as the retrohai DMG104 (apart from the lack of cartridge slots) but if you message retrohai to try and buy a DMG104 he doesn't reply so doesn't want the business. Whereas, will Gameboy Custom actually make / sell me one of these...?

"guys, i think i'm underqualified" this guy's level of humble, given what he makes for fun on the reg

The roms weren't opening on the microSD card that came with it is because you where trying to open the "._" version of the file. An annoying thing that MacOS does by default. The ._ file prefix is hidden by default in finder, so unless you remember to delete them manually there will be a bunch of files on the card that don't work. I'm almost certain that if you scroll down more in that folder, you'll get to the games that actually work. I had to deal with this all the time when I was younger with my R4 card

Pressing either select or start will cycle through the view options to show or hide those files, and smaller or larger icons. Or Select opens options and start does the cycling thing. I cant remember as I've used both Acekard and R4 Wood software. Very similar, and with three different R4i/Gold cards both SW work with them/ I dont know where people buy cards from that only work with one firmware version.

The screen might have stopped working because the battery circuit was disconnected. It could have been a grounding fault. Either that, or the ribbon cable wasn't seated properly, but I doubt it was that since you've been messing with these sorts of electronics for a while and that was probably the first thing you checked.

The lose bodge wires may have been causing a short on the board. Neat stuff

You are the man, man. The collab worked to get this awesome, weird and great device working again as it should. You were the right person for the job. Great video.

Love watching these teardown videos. Don't know how you figured all this stuff out. It's like watching a magician. Well done!

Ayyy hell yeah GameBoy Custom. Top tier 'Strayan modder they is.

What a rollercoaster of emotions watching this teardown and repair happen!

I was genuinely surprised that wasn't your own creation, That seems like something you'd tackle next.

Retro, from the bottom of my heart, this is probably my favorite video in your channel. Fixing things, or at least figuring things out and getting them to work correctly is such an amazing feeling! This is the exact reason why I subbed to your channel in the first place. You the man, Retro!

I really love the fact that you took the time and dedication to fix it! Great video :D

Game boy Custom makes some amazing mods! So glad you gave them some time on your channel. 💪👍

HAHAHAHHAHAH lov the moment when you found out you didnt have to change the screen and ribbon cable LOVELY

Really good job fixing it. Loved the video

the bit with the kapton got a hearty chuckle out of me. nice work.

Ribbon might've been loose, that happened to me before in a GBA and a Gameboy SP!

I subscribed for your repair videos so I quite enjoyed this.

I know it's a really cool device and all and it was great seeing you tinker with it, but I think the thing that made me go "ooooo" the most was your soldering iron. That thing is fancy compared to what I've used.

Super nice video dude, I love that little hybrid.

You do an amazing job with these projects! All I saw was a big hairy mess when you opened this one of a kind up. You just said yep, here's your problem. Mad skills man, keep these videos coming 🙂

Thanks for all your hard work! 💪👍

Next I want to see an extra-wide original Nintendo DS. Make it like twice as wide.

Yes, Ds Lite is one of my childhood favorites, along with a Gameboy Sp

Yo man you got some mad repair skills at this point. And it's all self taught right? That's badass.

Love this creations! Keep up the great work sir :)

Nice. I really want to make one of these, looks awesome.

i've waited for this video for too long and it's finally here

I absolutely LOVE this!

This is really amazing!

This is, layers of pure genius. It perfectly captures all three console. You can play all three, Gameboy color, Gameboy advance, and DS games. The design is perfect.

Brilliant work Elliott. Loved the video. Keep it up. I would love to have one of these.

Great job fixing it! 🔥🔥🔥

Yes, I've wanted to see something like this for a long time. Nice!!!!

We love you Elliot, congrats on getting the thing to work again, we knew you would do it. P.D. I need one

This is a banger video. “Nerdy and niche” is why a subscribed.

Elliott is amazing and just a genius. Well done 👍👏👏👏

I love that classic best ds cartridge video you’ve made years back. Miss the old intro too!

Love how technology can be possible for this concept

Said this would be a great idea and it made for one of the best Retro Future videos I've seen in a while also.

You are the man mate, fantastic fix 🔥🔥🔥👌🏾

You are a genius for fixing this

Been waiting for this one

Custom Yellow Stripe Edition... great work

Great work

The loose wire touching the body was probably shorting out the ribbon cable. Yes sometimes the cable's pick up weird signals and pulses that well grounded screens don't.

Great video!

Nice job! I'm impressed with your ability to fix things without doing anything too. 🙂

Nice device :D and you made it work! xP

I really enjoyed this vid. I love this chap 👦

THIS IS SO COOL!!!

If I had to guess, the problem with the screen came from the battery. The backup battery is probably delivering power different, than the original pack. Kinda love the idea of the Gameboy ds 🤣

Oh cool. You made that "Gameboy SDSC Advanced" that my grandpa was talking about all those years ago... That's strangely satisfying. I'm not sure that's what he was imagining when he strung those syllables together though. (That was probably just a DS lite)

Haha yes I was hopping to see this one on your channel

i've been wanting a mod like this for so long, only thing i'd change is find a way to keep the original slots for ds/gba games and the touch screen so it still works as it normally would. a bit of a different mod but it's so nice to see the idea of literally just spinning the board sideways LMAO i never thought of that and will keep it in mind for my mod whenever i build that

Well done on the fix! Intriguing device. Would be good to see an iteration with a working touch screen.

All the spaghetti and tape inside is like the underlying code in most modern websites and apps: Pretty package on the outside, nightmare on the inside.

this is a really neat project, but I'm glad Nintendo did not go with this for the DS/DS Lite design.

Holy crap! you have a creative mind! 😃

Great Concept.

Can't wait for the final version

Seems like the USB charger wire was shorting out the screen once you reconnected it the screen was no longer shorted. Great job loved this video.

That is a great product and you did amazing fixing, maybe you should give it a go to put a Nintendo game boy sp screen on an advance with the DS internals, basically turn the game boy advance into a DS. Keep up the great work

Ah Yes, the GameBoy Color Advance SP DS Lite.

Love it

I would really like one of those

This is pretty cool.

Wow, this thing must've taken a tumble during shipping. Great job fixing it!

Amazing!

Glad to see you got it working. If anyone could, then it was going to be you!

I know why the ribbon cable didnt work at the beginning its cause you have to push it in all the way

The. most. LEGENDARY!

Watching these videos makes me really want a modded gb

This was very exciting I'm not going to lie I like it

I think the loose battery cable was shorting something out while it was jiggling around inside.

Super cool

This took 2 reviewers, 2 screens, and one battery mod to get working. I’m not sure yet if that’s a good thing or not.

Every single project gets more and more wacky. Next thing you know we'll be seeing "Nintendo 3dsiXLAdvanceSp" with a see through case.
