Hi Giltesa, Thank you for producing such a great product! I'm in the middle of installing an instance of V3.2! I wanted to comment and give you a suggestion for a modification consideration that may make this mod more appealing to the community. With the release of the funnyplaying FPGA emulation hardware, Funnyplaying has also released a USB-C shell that includes an opening for the port already. Unfortunately it looks your mod may have been designed before this shell was released. As i'm working on this GBC I see that the components to the left of the USB-C port on the mod board take just enough space that the USB-C port on your mod is a few millimeters out of line from where the FunnyPlaying shell has a pre-made cutout. If you are still iterating on this mod, I would like to suggest to you to consider looking into modifying the location of these components else where so that you can slide the USB-C port to the left and then include a recommendation to use the Funnyplaying USB-C shell so that modders can avoid some of the shell trimming steps. Just a thought! once again, thank you!

Hola Alberto estoy empezando con Arduino y tengo montado un reloj con el modulo DS3231 me puedes decir como cargo tu librería para el cambio de hora automático

Now I know why my audio didn't worked Edit: fixed now. I have used a tiny piece of kapton tape placed with tweezers instead of solder mask

A DS box in that condition is kind of rare nowadays. Hopefully you preserved it. 😅

When testing my version of this board (3.2) I am not able to get the color of the led to change from red. Is this expected? When plugged into the wall it shows red even with no battery plugged in

Great video. These seem very easy to follow instructions. From what I've just watched this seems to be a beautifully well thought out product. I ordered one of these kits yesterday from "zedlabz" (I'm in the UK, so it's easier to buy small stuff like this from UK based companies than risk it incurring import taxes), After buying it I saw the link on their web page to this video, so came here and watched it. You made installing the boards look like a reasonably simple task (even though you were having to do the whole thing with a camera in your way. :D). I've got no love of soldering the PVC coated wires for the LED board, so I'm thinking that I'll be looking into substituting those for some of the 28 or 30 gauge silicon sheathed wire I've got around here. I might have problems trying to get superglue to stick silicon wire to the edge of the board, but I'm sure I can work something out if that's the case. I've only just noticed that you have an online shop link in the description, so I stopped typing to have a look over there. From what I saw it seems you redesigned this kit. It's a shame I didn't notice that before, as the revised battery connector location would have been a lot more convenient. I'm assuming that as the zedlabz website only has images of (at a guess) the v1.1, then this is the only version they've bought from you? I'm just curious if there's any chance their current stock might be v1.3's or v2.0's and they haven't updated the image? After a bit more looking around in your online shop I stumbled upon the "Game Boy Color: Custom Motherboard" project....... I'd just like to say, I find the prospect of being able to build a 100% brand new GBC really appealing, where having a modern IPS screen, a lithium battery, a built in charger, a better audio amp, and tactile buttons wasn't just after thoughts "Hotwired" all over an original (And dated) piece of hardware. It's all dependant on what the resulting board costs, but if it's not ludicrously expensive, I could see a lot of other people getting excited about the possibility of building themselves a brand new GBC rather than having to base their high end build around a major component salvaged from a 25 year old handheld unit. By "not ludicrously expensive" I'm not saying it needs to be "Cheap", but if the price isn't astronomically more than buying a working GBC just for it's motherboard, then buying all the upgrade boards necessary to get similar functionality out of it, I can see a new all in one board being a winner purely for folks who want to avoid the risk of messing something up while soldering all the addon boards to an old, and potentially unreliable, piece of kit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edit - For anyone looking to buy these kits in the UK, The one Zedlabz currently send out (As of 14/04/24) are version 1.2. In the end, as the position of the battery connector on the V2.0 seems more convenient I decided to order a couple of these direct from "The Giltesa's Shop" in Spain. The shipping to the UK isn't that expensive, and going by the tracking, they should get here in a week or so.. There's also the swap from the v1.x's TP4056 charging chip to the IP2312U that the v2.0 uses. Both chips work fine, but from what I read, the IP2312U is a little better suited for a device that may be getting used while charging. If the battery is charged while in use the TP4056 chip can underestimate the true state of charge a little, and therefore keep charging an already full battery. The higher the load the further it can overcharge. We're not talking about overcharging to "battery igniting" levels or anything, but the further above 4.2v you go, the quicker a li-po will "Wear out". Because of how the IP2312U reads state of charge, it's apparently somehow more likely to catch this over voltage situation sooner and stop charging. Oh, and for anyone who wants to either make themselves more than one battery, or chose to look for batteries with the correct connector pre installed (Though I couldn't find any that weren't 3x the price of the same cell with bare wires) the battery connector used is a "JST SH 1.0". You can get the pins and housings to crimp on by yourself, but you'll need the specific crimping plyers to do it. So it's not a particularly cheap option, but it's an option none the less. I chose to buy a few pre made leads, and will be soldering them to the cells protection boards once I've worked out the exact length they need to be.

That’s nice but funny playing all ready release there’s. Kind of late your ideas if your able to add everything will be better then funny plying though

Where can I buy this tool?

Waos

that's awesome

Can I ask what Battery you used specifically? I am trying to find one that will fit in the batter compartment but am having trouble.

Does the contrast wheel work with this kit?

Gracias Alberto por compartir sus conocimientos,Cesar Vasquez de Republica Dominicana le saluda,me gustaria saber si en algun momento implementara un menu pero en una pantalla LCD TFT no Tactil o al menos explicar como hacerlo solamente aparecen menus en pantalla tactiles,sin mas se despide y gracias por compartir👍👍

Hey I just bought the Pro Kit from Hand Held Legend. How similar is this video to what is in the Pro? Will I be able to follow along with this?

You really did asmr all the way back in 2009 before it was a thing. Nice

Please make another revision to this board where the pads for the charging leds aren't TINY. Was just installing a kit and the pads ripped off when I was routing the wire in the top shell.

This is like the oldest video I’ve come across (14yrs ago) on KZbin!!

I am assuming this kit isn't compatible with Double AA Batteries like the Game Boy Pocket/Color: USB-C Charging Kit, because of the needed removal of the battery terminals?

I installed this mod on my GBA SP. Everything is working and the battery is charging, but there is no sound. The sound appears when I connect the charger. When I pull it out, the sound disappears after 10 seconds. What could be the problem?

Buenas tardes @giltesa , Eh visto que en tu pagina de tienda tienes un adaptador para los PSP 2000 y 3000 para cambiar el porte de cargar typo c. Yo tengo 3 PSP, 2 3000 y 1 2000, a los cuales les quiero cambiar esa parte. De casualidad tienes un video de la instalacion. Veo que de acuerdo a las instrucciones ay dos versiones el 1.2 y 1.3. Cual es el que reciviria si ordeno las partes? Tambien me preguntaba si tienes idea el tiempo que tarde llegar el envio si es enviado de Espana a UUEE?

2023?

Hola tienen corriente los faders es decir de 220 voltios gracias un saludo

I know this has got to be super frustrating for you. I really appreciate the QA you are doing on these boards. So much better to find the problem here than after installing into a Gameboy. Thanks for sharing a video on it.

Are these for the gameboy?

it’s me from the future

Can you still lift the pads with the air soldering iron?

What is the difference between the 1.5 and 1.6 board? thanks

Hey Alberto! Will you be making videos doing the psp and new 2nd xl installs? It’s always great seeing how the maker of these awesome mods does the installs😎

hola lavariacion de la resistencia es lineal o logaritmica?

@giltesa Do you have a followup video for 3.1? Are there videos showing how to remove the components from the board prior to installation? Is there a video you recommend showing replacing the capacitors?

Ma ci credi che mia mamma mi aveva buttato là scatola perché occupava spazio???? 😢😢😢

Hi just ordered the other usb charge kit, just wondering is the wait for this far away? Because this looks much better :)

Does this version allow charging while playing?

Wait so is dmg the same as a regular Game Boy?

Hi, do you think is it better the diaphragm system or brushless air pump?

I remember. When i was a kid. I have one like this.

e fact that this video is older than me and I like it is cool.

I just bought a silver one off ebay

the gameboy looks very good!!

I looked on aliexpress and the listing is gone, i also checked the ebay one you had linked so do you know of any others that work or how to know if they will work? Thank you

Here's my third result. And now i installed it without any problems. The shell i used was the slate from makho. Soldered it exactly like on my boxypixel build and it charges the GBA like normal. And the headphones also work perfectly fine. But still, i can't really say why it works now. Sound is good via headphones. drive.google.com/file/d/16rVpXNU1BWUOwPiHLxhgxU4NLlVJFys8/view?usp=drivesdk drive.google.com/file/d/16tprF-q9HMLlagwp2fZiOjhZdvAGwMdd/view?usp=drivesdk drive.google.com/file/d/16w44D2Go2-k_OE_ItuNQwSb1W3i8fIQD/view?usp=drivesdk

Would this work with the slate sp mod so we could have USB type-c charging without interference from the top case

Si hicieses este contenido en Español sería ya rizar el rizo.

Now my second result. And I must say, i can't be really happy with this mod. It may work yes, but this mod now destroyed my second mainboard. And the second board charged before I did this mod, and now...nothing. The second board is toast. In my opinion, i can't really recommend this mod. Sad.

I tried this mod. But for now i need a new motherboard because i had a solder bridge (i guess). Can this be an issue that my GBA SP doesn't turn on anymore because of a short circuit?

Emulators are no good for systems like this. You need to be tactile. You need the real thing. Nothing- even now in 2023 - beats the compactivity and sheer addictivness of the original Nintendo black and white Game Boy.
