The buttons are really bright! 😲

This is why I love this channel. Elliot does this stuff at an affordable cost so he puts many people in consideration with his modding videos. When I mod my gbc I’m DEFINITELY gonna come back to this video. Thanks Elliot!

This is on my wishlist now, what a beaut. Cheers mate.

Finally back to the core content! I really hope you do them all! Loved this one, only seen photos of this config before, it was even better with film!

I really love the improvements of the new screen(especially the lens being against the screen itself, allowing for zero dust to sneak in) just wish they made a non led gbc logo for folks who prefer it to look as authentic as possible.

Best one yet, it's amazing to see how far the mods (and you!) have gotten over the years :)

Fun fact, did you know 3M stands for Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company? Thats the US state I grew up in. Every winter night, they lit up their corporate HQ to look like a Christmas tree.

i like how considerate you are about the pricing. some people just hype products up through the roof then make it sound like you're not actually a fan if you can't afford it.

Hey Elliot! Love the gameboy you just made! One quick advice though, move the touch sensor out of the infrared leds if you plan to use it, it fits anywhere on top of the shell :)

Showed this to my parents because they had the gameboy when they were my age. They said that if ips displays and all these battery mods happened in their time, it would’ve been revolutionary.

I’m particularly not a fan of the lit up buttons, at least in this case because the shell is white, other than that the screen and functionalities look amazing

DAYM THE CASE IS SOOO CLEAN

I've customized 2 GBC's for myself. The first has a glow in the dark shell, with a backlit screen, and the 2nd is based off of the translucent Neo Geo Pocket Color with blue buttons. Also has a backlit screen! Really proud of myself, and how they both came out!

@@PurplePhantom4 Personally, I would say the GBC is the easiest handheld to take apart, and put back together. Please be aware however dealing with Nintendo video game consoles, and handhelds requires a "tri-wing" screwdriver. They use those "specialty" screws in about all of the consoles and handhelds I've ever seen them make. Other than that, a Philips head screwdriver is your best friend.

@bdillmore40 okay cool thanks for the advice and for actually responding

This was one of the first videos of yours I have ever seen (the first was oddly enough the virtual boy one) and now a year later I watch all you latest videos and and am actually modding a gameboy pocket inspired by this gameboy color. I’m doing all white with a stunning ips screen. I hope to put light up buttons in it someday but for now I don’t have the money for that. I just want to say how much I love your videos and how much they have inspired me to go out of my comfort zone and get into electronics, and I can’t even express how much my life has changed for the better from what your videos have inspired me to do!

love this video. your modding/restoration vids are always my favorite

Hello Elliot!! This model became a real amazing work of art. I am now waiting to see the GBA and GBA SP 2022 versions.

Thanks for making videos Elliot, you inspired me and motivates me to mod and fix my old gameboys. Get well soon and I'll pray for your fast recovery.

The Game Boy Color was my first handheld over 20 years ago and it's so nice to see there are now many mods for it and a community keeping it alive.

I have done this mod to my old childhood gameboy, and I absolutely love it! This and a flash cart is the best way to play gbc games for me!

Please do more videos like this. I’ve missed this and it’s the whole reason I fell in love with your channel. Great video 😁😁😁

Damn this scene has come such a long way, I am thoroughly convinced that we have been in cahoots with Game Boy loving extraterrestrials or something lol. I remember watching this very same video a year or two ago thinking “this is it, we’ve peaked”. Now I’m sitting here with my touch screen OLED GBC thinking “ok what’s next?”. Love this scene so much

I really like the funnier more confident mood of your videos recently. Hope life is treating you well. Great review as always.

I remember when ben venn first figured out how to jank a ags 101 replacement screen to work for the gameboy color pcb. It was awesome, and I thought that we had reached the backlight color screen pinnacle, but now? This is amazing, and so easy that anyone can do it. The fact that we had custom shells that don't need any special modding to fit parts is just a testament to the popularity of gameboy modding. It is only getting bigger.

I got my screen coming in this week actually and I just bought myself a new ts100 soldering iron especially for modding it, so this video could not have been uploaded at a more perfect time :) Many greetings from Holland!

recently done this mod myself its awesome and now my daily for playing all of my gameboy library

Thanks so much for this video! I just completed my own screen upgrade and I'm super pleased with the results!

Wow! That is an amazing new mod design of a Gameboy. You did a great job to surprise the Gameboy community

A big hats off to the people who made those circuits and even added so many useful features!!!

my only issue with this type of screen mod is that if u scratch the lens and want to replace it u need to replace the whole screen.

WOW that thing looks amazing. I watch Gameboy modding videos quite a bit so I thought it was just another shell upgrade with a new (but smaller) screen. But the light up buttons made me like "oooo pretty" XD and of course that screen looks amazing.

Wow that is cleanly gorgeous

Wow! 🤩 This is a definitely the way to go! Many thanks, Eliot!

This was such a beautifully crafted mod and the video made it feel so easy loved it. 🙏

Excellent mods that are available, even that shell that accommodates them are very nice but I also appreciate the fact that you can still use good 'ol AAs.

Nice mod work! I like the white aesthetic.

Yeah the button mod looks nice but I think if it were me I'd do a rechargable battery mod and the speaker/amp upgrade mod

Amazing. Beautiful. What about "the ultimate hand held device"? All the top mods and all functions. Something like that. Good job as always. Thanks for your contribution.

Holy aesthetics 🤩 what an absolutely stunning build.

4th-gen iPod vibes. Love it!

This might be the nicest replacement screen I've seen yet. Does it have any pixel ghosting issues? I really like it when they have realistic original screen pixel lines.

Elliot has consistently been the best in the game, boy!

Woah this looks amazing!! :O I'd love one!

It looks super clean

Just came upon a HUGE gameboy lot and this is in my future, would love to see a list of everything you used in this.

I have to try this! Awesome looking mod!

I can confirm this is the best GBC mod ! Top notch screen ! I have issues however with the start button, very hard to press... I think I have to use a file or whatever to enlarge button hole a little bit.

Stay safe and get well. I would love one of these gameboys. My hand cannot hold a console that small anymore though.

Elliot, never give up dont let covid hold you back, cause i love your videos and i want to watch your videos everyday. P. S, THAT GAMEBOY LOOKS AWESOMEEE!!. ITS so good when i watch people fix, mod my childhood toy 🥰

Slick as all hell! Defo doing these mods to my crusty old GBC

Feel better Elliot! I did this same comparison in my latest video. Nice job! Love that laminated GBC display. :)

great video lad keep up with the good work ps how are you feeling today

I will never ever tire of watching Elliot give new life to Game Boys. It isn't just a piece of hardware, it was someone's escape, a doorway to a million worlds, a child's Christmas wish. It was the little engine that could, and kept going, while all the portable competitors fell by the wayside.

Great video dude!

It looks beautiful. I'll definitely try modding a Game Boy Color in the future. It's a shame the Analogue Pocket is so expensive and hard to get...

That looks so slick 😎

Funnyplaying also has a button led mod and theirs has the ability to change led colors, has option for breathing animation and rbg color shift, can be turned off and offers start and select solder points for the laminated ips kit

Any chance you could get an updated video on the best mods for dmg/gbp nowadays? 👀 Great work as always

Would be cool to see you do a crazy ultimate build. Include this hardware but also any other mode you can find. ie the rechargable mod you mentioned

Oooh that is rather lovely.....might need to do that.

It looks so clean and nice... I can't with white myself, but its does look pristine as it is....

I actually got a analogue pocket first, and I love it, but original gbc modding looks really appealing to me suddenly.

Great to see you fixed it Elliot, hope you feel well soon. 👍 also wondering how you fixed it?

I did a Funnyplaying screen a few weeks ago. You can do the start and select buttons higher on the board, and hide the wires behind the screen.

Ooh really? Do you know which contact points you used? the visible wires are a bummer for me. By the way, any trouble with the touch sensor? Did you get the long thin one or the little one? Mine not working at all :/

More mods please. Feel better soon.

That is so CLEAN!

Just a heads up to anyone wanting to do this specific project that lives in the US, they can't ship that screen here 🙁 you can still get one of the other screens, but this particular one with the changeable logo is unavailable to US residents. Real bummer, I've done the GBA and SP mods, and this looked like a really cool one to tackle for my first GBC because that screen is so unique. Either way, thanks as always for the great vid Elliot, hope you and Freya get better soon ✌️

Soldering on bubble wrap you are a madman.

Best Atari Lynx video on KZread.

When was the last time you checked on Gameboy color prices? They are going for like $60 minimum right now.

Who else saw the epic live stream? Great job Elliot keep up the good work!

Pro tip for the people who are having trouble with an unresponsive touch sensor, i've swapped mine out for thicc piece of copper plate attached to a wire (just a hammered down piece of thick copper wire folded over) and now it works flawlessly

Cool mod, I have the funny playing one, that screen really is beautiful... edit: funnily enough, mine was the cyan GBC pre-mod too! Though the replacement case is translucent atomic purple.

Thank you for the Video, i was able to do the mod too it looks absolutely awesome

I've done this mod. It's awesome!

I'm still waiting for the replacement display that funny playing sent me. The kit I ordered came with a defective display. But once that arrives, I'm going to absolutely fall in love with my GBC.

Boy that’s a fancy gameboy.

I definitely need this for GBA. Cause I can't play on a Color anymore, bad hands. This is truly beautiful!

This looks so sick! I've not got any soldering skills or kit so definitely out of my scope.

Personally I would rather have the original Gameboy hardware modded. Nostalgia is a powerful thing. Great vid as always!

Wooowww soo cool! But it isn’t out yet I suppose? I see that you’re having the 2.0 with logo and on the website I only see the one without the logo and the 2.0. When is it coming out? Or is that the one? Such an amazing mod, can’t wait to get one!!! Love your vids

Nice mod, i did exactly the same mod (screen, white housing, clear buttons) 2 months ago and its magic. The only thing that annoyed me was the 3rd party start/select buttons from funnyplaying. They are sticking out way less then the originals. I hated playing zelda with those . So i swapped back the original start and select buttons.

finally a original style vid!!

I LOVE the gbc and it was my first handheld, but man, it's not ergonomic friendly in any way and that's the number one thing I need to play video games as an adult. Glad it's getting its moment with the analog release, but I'd personally rather have a modded gba

A little over a hundred dollars is not a whole lot less than the Pocket

"I wanna keep the price down as much as possible with this model" *install a light mode for the buttons. Looks cool indeed!

these white buttons combined with the IR sensor at the top makes it look like a wiimote
