The godfather of gameboys. Just picked up an OLED model, thank you so much for taking the time to address this potential concern. Keep up the good work Makho! 🎮🏆🙏
I bought a gbc with a modded screen a few months back from a random seller on ebay. When I opened it up there was a little spacer inserted next to screen that had makho inscribed on it.
I'm not an expert, but I think the difference between the two batteries at around the 6:40 mark would simply be related to regions. Japan has a different voltage in their power outlets than North America does. The Li-ion Mn battery has Japanese text on it, whereas the Li-ion one has English. They probably used slightly different batteries to account for the difference in voltage.
Wait does select + l not lower the brightness??
Is the brass version ever going to get restocked, I been trying to get my hands on one for the good part of a year.
Really thanks for the video and also the link to the assembly. For me in the EU it would be painful to order the PCBs separately.
It I just want to replace the hinges do I have to completely de-shell it first?
Im an idiot, so ill need some clarifying, is the kit technically no solder, or does it really need the wires, pls help.
I want to know if it is possible to convert this device into a PCI card or, somehow directly mount it to a Motherboard.
That dPad is hideous
Nintendo missing out. They should have realized theres still a big market for new gameboy stuff. They could of/should of been the ones selling new gameboys. I dont get why its so hard for companies to understand, we still like consoles from the 90s and wish they still made them. Heck I wish they kept making new gameboy games. They need to stop thinking about them as old, and think about them as a different style of game, that people still enjoy, and probably will enjoy forever.
What's hard to understand? The tooling for this sort of thing is not cheap, support staff and logistics are also required, engineering teams to make the new hardware, and a sea of lawyers dealing with licensing for rereleasing old games and libraries. Nintendo, for example, is already printing money with the Switch so why would they redirect their staff towards a less profitable endeavor? It's not realistic. While this may seem like a "big" market, it's an order of magnitude smaller than it once was. We're talking hundreds to thousands of units verses tens to hundreds of millions.
@@makho You just think that they'd have a bit of pride about the products of their history, and want to bring those products to the people of the future also ha. At least someone is.
If only you could just buy a receiver without a controller then no one would have to do this.
These were definitely sold separately at the time. Are you confusing this with the xbox one receiver? That is a different product. And while I agree with the sentiment for the xbox one receiver, those controllers also work over USB and bluetooth so it's not even necessary.
Finally worked
yo, is someone playing Zelda OOT or Major's mask in background. i hear random link yelling way in the distance, that said thanks for video plan to add this kit to a second SP i found in my stock of old stuff.
Where do you even buy this new board??? I JUST ordered one from the link, then i see that its the ver 1.0. Your link takes me to that one only. Looked online and i dont see a new revision anywhere
Did you check Funnyplaying’s official website? How long ago did you order it? Has it come in yet?
@nightwing179 I ordered it Friday, so nope not yet. And straight from Funny Playing, I actually don't know which HW ver I ordered. The pictures on their site show the older ver. But it doesn't actually list which one is available
@@lovelorn88nickyou’re probably either going to get hw ver 1.1 or 1.2. I know the colored boards are supposed to be 1.2 and 1.1 is the newest board revision I’ve seen of the default color.
Both funnyplaying and RGRS only have one listing and both have the latest version available for purchase, despite what any pictures may indicate.
@@makho thanks, yeah I ordered from FunnyPlaying, I see it comes from China though so it'll be awhile till it gets here
Wow, a subscribe and a like you, deserve! solve my problem.. Thanks and greetings from Brazil.
Is there a way to bypass or completely remove the touch sensors on these screens for GBC, GBA & GBA SP? I need to perform this process even more so on the GBC as the Pokémon Pinball game causes the sensors to go haywire. PS, my second screen purchase for my other new GBA SP cobalt blue came with the proper wire so I can utilize the backlight button.
Hello makho! I saw your amazing tactile button mod on KZread. I ordered a pcb board of zekfoo that is very similar to yours because I wanted to mod the start select button to tactile. However, there was no suitable membrane to use for this, so I decided to print out the spacer you put on github on a 3d printer. I have a question about this. You said you used tpu material when you printed the spacer, but what hardness filament did you use? 90a? Or 85a?
I used 95a but it's the only hardness I've tried. If you have multiples, I'd love to know which one you think is more suitable for this use, however.
are there any TV out mods for the gameboy color?
Do the leds change or is it always solid blue? Did the install and it works but battery died and its been charging for awhile but its always blue
There are multiple LEDs, yes. Is your battery properly connected?
Did you ever do anything else with this? Could find any more of your videos about it. Super interesting!
Not really -- I got pretty burned out
Found my old, busted up sp, fixed it up with new shell, ips screen, and battery... miserable battery life. One hour to red light, not quite three to dead console. Add maybe an extra half hour to both if using og cartridge instead of flash cart. I thought I just got a dud battery, so I got multiple new ones from more reputable sources, same story. tried this today, fingers crossed it fixes things... though I'm not holding out too much hope as the switch wasn't that dirty inside once I opened it up, & cleaning didn't make much of a visual difference.
Well, there was some improvement - went from about a 3 hour battery life to a 4 hour battery life, with most of the increase while the light was still green. Significant improvement, but it remains pretty far from the minimum of I'd call acceptable for a pocket handheld. Still, 33% improvement's not nothing. Maybe I'll go back and try again with the baking soda. Very much appreciate this old video showing me how to do this. Years later & still helping.
@@Malisteen I mean, if that's the original battery, it's over 20 years old. The estimated service life on most lithium batteries is like 3 years.
Hi! I have a couple of questions: 1- Is there any problem when installing the LCD if I have an original shell with its original lens attached already? Should I first separate the lens, install the LCD and install the lens again, or I can do it without removing the lens in the first place? 2- Can I remove the touch sensors? If able to, I'd prefer not to have that feature and only have the buttons. Thanks!
Can't get the damn thing to open...

Wow, I watched this video just today, and learned that the gba games like emerald only has the real time clock separate from the saves on the battery, that was kind of a big deal to me, is it possible to lose the ability to save as well though on those games? Ive got both emerald and crystal with below 0.10 volt readings, so looking to get new batteries for them, but need to get a soldering iron and stuff first, kinda scary to me though since I havent done any soldering before :D
I just bought the retrosix clean amp pro and dehum dehiss kit. should I install it or not? thanks
Wait a minute, 42:55 was that a prototype headphone dongle you're working on? I've been trying to find a decent headphone dongle for the SP but I can't seem to find one that's universally recommended. If you sold a dongle of your own I'd instabuy it..
So it works with the GB, GBC, and GBA?
GBA version is badly needed with Oled screen too.
I guess things have changed in the year since you posted this vid but there is a couple suitable batteries you can use from Digikey. Part Numbers for the two I found: 1908-CR1220V2-ND CR-1220/FCN Personally would recommend CR-1220/FCN as it's the cheaper option. In either case you'll have to change the tab bend orientations as positive terminal on both these have it's tab laid flat (so it seems these versions of the battery were intended to have positive side facing the PCB). But with both EZ Flash 3in1 and Omega it's the other way around. Better then not having tabs though I suppose. :P
Hello ! Thank you for your work! Which version of lenses should I buy with this?
they dont have stock for that EMMC reader
Does the silver shell need to cut?
How to get 3d print
I think fire red/leaf green would be better for these due to lack of RTC
The part is the same on all five games so whatever is the least expensive. In my case, the least expensive was the one I had on hand. This is totally obsolete now that the newer iG carts just spoof the flash ID though.
Is error code 2002-4373 related to emmc ?
Very helpful video. I'm considering getting the device.
i find out that there are issues with some Pokemon original cardriges. With the Burnmaster and the oscr i got "Flashrom Type not supported ID: 6213" error with different copys of the game to test and the game with the LE26FV10N1TS flash chip the small footprint version are the ones with this problem. Hopefully with a firmware upgrade this issue can be fixed.
No original pokemon games had flashable ROM. You mean repros?
@@makho No it's a original Game but safe files don't write on this Copy of the game. With my original emerald there is no problem..maybe because it's a Euro Game. I can backup the game and the safe file but rewriting the safe is not possible.
Can I use this with a non-specialized lens provided I don't care about adjusting brightness? I have a Game Boy Horror one I want to use with this.,
Is the D-pad "analogue" like the Playstation? I want to play Gran Turismo 3 on my Mac. On PS2, pressing harder left or right on D-pad would determine how sharply I turned.
have never heard of analogue d-pads. No official controller has ever added such a feature afaik. This one definitely doesn't have it. Only triggers & thumb sticks are analogue and this one doesn't have analogue triggers as it's mostly marketed as a less expensive Switch pro controller.
Nah, that was a PS2/PS3 exclusive. I believe every DS2 and sixaxis controller supported it though I believe it was dropped for DS3.
I own a Sous Vide machine. I'm going to try that.
the chip at 3 minutes, did it every go up for sale?

I have a unit. It has a ghost input issue, but when I open it up I can't see any issues with the membranes. The screen also turns green sometimes on random boots.... I'm wondering if there is a power related issue which is causing these unexpected issues. The issues dissappear if I place the handheld on a dock.
I know it’s been a while since you did this, but, do you think it could work also with an SMD button like the power button in the Nintendo Switch?
any SPST button
Would a backlight upgrade mod not help at all? Like brighter leds or a modified backlight panel from a ds lite? Its too bad we can't remove the transflective component of the screen entirely to make it purely back-lit only.
Hi, Any idea where to get the EMMC programmer nowadays? I can't find it in any store.. thanks
There's this one on retrogamerepairshop and a different one on Handheld Legend. Both supposedly drop in and both hispeedido. The one on Handheld Legend doesn't seem to be on Hispeedido's website. This one does list as having the wires, so I'm not sure if I should expect to get them. All these screens need a better nomenclature and descriptions on the websites for us to keep them straight.
I just removed the fuse and put a big blob of solder on the 2 connection and called it a day. don't have fuse that small. these things are designed to fail and they want $30 for a new one. 😂
Ah yes, lets just bypass safety devices. I'm sure nothing bad will happen. Fuses are pennies, not $30.
Is there a bracket I have to open first on the ribbon cable connector? Because I just can't seem to get the ribbon to go in...
You have to release the bale, yes.
