Glad the GG is starting to get some love. I've had one I've been wanting to restore for ages. The GG was my first portable console and I only had two games for it, so I can't wait to get an everdrive and start repairing and modding this one.

The Sega Game gear is my favorite portable console and I have many of them, I have modified some, a solution to this is that they sell some voltage amplifier USB cables that amplify from 5v to 9v and 12v, I recommend the 12v one that works very well , The only bad thing is that the USB gets very hot, as I had told you in the video of the Sega nomad I am still looking forward to the mod of the screen of this great console, thanks for this excellent video.

Awesome mod, we need more USB-C mod, for DS and PSP for exemple. Something that can be cool with the Game Gear is make a replacement of the VGA Mod by a USB-C mod or a mini HDMI mod for video output. VGA is good... But not modern if you see what I want to say. Great stuff 🤘

One drawback is that you can no longer use the official Sega battery packs. As someone who owns the better of the two, aka the one that attaches to the back, this mod means that I would need to mod the pack to work with it.

Hello, if instead of batteries, place 2 ps3 control batteries and connect the type C connector, this would proceed to charge the batteries as if they were batteries?
FYI Ikea Ladda batteries are rebadged eneloop Pro batteries so get them they are much cheaper.
Need lipo batteries that fit into the battery slots. Replacement screen that is cheaper than mcwill. Maybe a slimmer case for it since it won't need a backlight tube.

The OSSC seems the best lag-free option. And i want to add the pixlx mod from videogameperfection.com to add controllers. My goal is 2 consolized GG’s and play gear-to-gear on 2 tv’s, with the link cable. Both are recapped, but one GG has minor issues. When moving it too much it shuts down/loses power. So i’ll definitely pick up this mod at one point!

Wait.. You can't charge batteries while in the unit with the usb-c power adapter? Is there a way to overcome this issue? Charging capability would definitely make the GG better.

Awesome Travis! Glad you found the videos helpful! Hopefully the power board will solve your GG issue. Cheers dude!
Is this kit compatible with c to c adapters?
I got 3 gg i think it's time to mod one of them

Absolutely Juan! There are a lot more very cool mods coming out for the GG! It’s never been a better time to mod for the GG. Cheers buddy and stay tuned!
Can you still plug the type-C in with and game genie? I can barely plug in the barrel plug with the game genie on

Great question! Unforgivably I’m not sure. I don’t have a game genie to test it out. I would hope it does. Cheers Stacy!

@@MachoNachoProductions I can confirm the type-c wire fits a game genie with probably more room! I'm in the middle of moding a powerback to use newer batteries with a type-c plug

Awesome! Good to know. Thank you. Sounds like a cool project! Power back with usb c is a great idea!
It would be even better if it could recharge AA NiMH Rechargables trought the USB!

Charging NiMH batteries process is different than LI-ion or Li-Poli batteries. Charging threw device will kill those batteries in few days. This is why devices using AA rechargables never provide charging by power adapter.
Did they make anything for the batteries yet? That's literally my only complaint with the game gear.

I know there is a way to do it, but there isn’t a kit designed specifically for the gba sp. you need a commercial off the shelf component. Stay tuned to the channel! Cheers!

@@MachoNachoProductions from what i looked up there were at least two available kits before the one guy hasn't updated his page and just says out of stock and the other guy in the items description says that he was only making the one batch not making any more restock. seems like a cool idea for retro game repair shop to do or similar stores but I've only just gotten into modding my gba sp and the community so idk if there's a specific reason they dont.

and not to say anything like the game gear shouldn't have gotten this mod and whatever I just grew up with the gba and the sp and I've never heard of the gamer gear until I've gotten into retro stuff

Can you still use it on normal batteries on the go?
@MachoNachoProductions

You absolutely can! It works very similarly to the original power board. It can run off normal batteries and you can also plug it in at the same time and it will run off the usb-c. Very versatile kit. Cheers!

Unfortunately it isn’t. That was one of the cons I listed in the video. It would have been awesome if it charged my eneloop nickel metal hydride batteries. RetroSix is working on a battery solution for the game gear so that’s exciting! Cheers!
