Great content. I really enjoy that you care about these game systems, and take the time to make these videos. I've taken your preferences and am going to do my sp mod. Yeah yeah, sp. Thanks man.

Excelent video! Just in time for my own DMG IPS upgrade 🥳🥳🥳🥳

This is perfect. Inspired to do this myself. Thanks so much

Your attention to detail and descriptive method is bullet proof. Very good, engaging delivery for a mod process that is easy to follow.

Thank you so much!

Goddamn, that Dixie Cup look on the DMG-01 is sick

How long does the battery last with this mod?

Your videos are really awesome. I installed an IPS screen and everything is perfect until I have to put the screws back, closing the shell. I think things are really tight because screen goes blank. Don't know if ribbon cable is bending too much... When I take out the screws everything works great again... Any hint? Thanx for your time!

The „unknown“ board is the dc regulator board 💪🏼

It feels thick but it will fit !!! that's what she said 😅

That little daughter board is the power board!

Got a busted GB with a busted up screen coming in as my first project for something exactly like this!

I appreciate the metric conversion! I thought retromodding had the option to get them pretrimmed? It's an extra $5 or something like that. Maybe it's only for the SPs

What screen do you get to make it a Colored screen

Does it have a motion blur effect?

This is just a gameboy color with extra steps and I like it!

14:55 - that’s what she said

Did they ever end up making pre trimmed shells?

Nice. That's a lot of hard work.

If I close my eyes, I hear pauly shore guiding me through this lol

Alright maybe I will mod a DMG.

@@JakeSimmons The man on the KZreads taught me to snip the speakers off because soldering is hard 😩

So I was rehousing my gba sp and I noticed that the volume switch cover does not come of like the others. Is there a way to change that or would I have to get a new volume switch that allows me to do so since my ocd does not let me have the console one color and the volume another.

You would need a new switch. Some SPs you can swap them, some you can’t.

I did indeed watch the video. Like 3 times over. Is it the RIPS V5 motherboard that lets you be able to do it? I know it has the 36 different colors, but just didn’t know it could produce full color. Unless I’m missing something?

You are a bit wrong there, it actually wasn't the games being good that gave it the heads up from the competition... the competition had good games too. The real reason was 3 fold (and in no particular order) 1st, the battery life. Less power means it lasts longer. 2nd was the price. At the time, parents were the ones buying the systems so they'd obviously buy the cheaper system. Especially since, back then, our parents viewed video games as toys... 3rd, Nintendo was just a bigger more trusted name than the competition...

Yes but you’ll have to trim it like I did

Maybe this was the joke he was making but in the UK you hear people saying the phrase "a metric butt tonne" quite a lot except butt is usually substituted for one of the more explicit four letter words lol. I wasn't sure if he knew that or was just saying it because people in Europe in general use metric but I thought it was funny that he said that phrase because it's something I assumed was only said over here lol

why was the colour?

Some carts have color maybe because of the release of a game was close to the release of GBC

The ammount of likes being so little is criminal, this is extremely underrated.
