23 Years Later, there's a new Game Boy Color screen

[@Gamechangermods]

also, Q-tip + rubbing alcohol on the cartridge contacts is our recommended cleaning method!

[@S_Tadz]

Just a pencil eraser does wonders, most aren't dirty enough to NEED alchool

[@mekaijohnson]

@@S_Tadz Hmm. Never heard of using a pencil eraser. I feel like that would leave a lot of residue behind.

[@mattfire8579]

@@mekaijohnson you clean it off with iso alcohol 90% after. First I swab it good with Iso, then use eraser but not from a pencil. Just a rectangle shaped pink or white eraser, then over with alcohol on a cotton swab again thoroughly to get the residue off.

[@siahfishin5295]

Yeah these old games are soo easy to clean the contacts, dont blow in it and then put it in the console cause u are just gonna slowly ruin the contacts in the gameboy itself. Best method and ive done them all, is open up the game cartridge , take out the board, set it on a napkin , go buy some Brasso from home depot or any hardware fixer upper kinda store, use a qtip and clean the contacts with brasso (apply conservatively) then take a dry qtip and wipe off the brasso and buff it eith the qtip to get it off as much as possible, then take another qtip and use 90% or higher isopropyl alchohol, then one last qtip and dry rub it down again with the alcohol on it. Itd alot of q tips yes but that is the best way to fully clean and polish the contacts for maximum effectiveness. Never put dirty cartridges in your gameboy, as the dirt and oxidation from the carts will mess up the gameboy contacts.

[@mattfire8579]

@@siahfishin5295 Brasso is good as a last resort IMO, because it was metallics your really etching into the pins and as you said if you don't apply it conservatively or you do and really scrub it could take some of the contacts off. I use it if the pins are corroded beyond hell.

Yup, this. night road trips leveling up my Pokemon driving across the country with my parents. When the Gameboy died I always had the next Harry Potter book to read until I could get more batteries at the next gas station

[@chinchillamdgamer]

I hope not, I'd miss him tons. Then again, who says he doesn't do ads on the side huh?

[@CharacterDesignForge]

Now all y'gotta do is solder new batteries in to all those GBC cartridges becauses it's been 20+ years 😂 every day it gets harder to be a physical/non emulation guy

[@MakerOfChase]

There's a hole in the wall game store out here in San Diego that does exactly this and charges an almost fair amount for an upgraded refurb slice of nostalgia

[@jbuggyps2]

You can tape the batteries in. That's what I did for Pokemon Emerald

[@jamiebob]

I managed to get a gbc for like £30($41) on ebay and I've bought a new shell and ips display, probably all in I've spent just a touch over £100($136) including postage

[@DarkBowser64]

You can put in battery holders. There's a flex PCB for CR2025 cartridges as well so you can solder a holder on them. It makes them very easy to replace in the future especially for the Pokémon Gen 2 games, which use battery power really quickly thanks to powering both the save chip AND the real time clock.

[@brutalhonesty07]

Jesse McKowen yeah but that can damage it over time.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Hey Bob! Great video! Thank you for the shout it! This IPS kit is definitely my favorite Game Boy Color mod to date! Glad you could give it the attention it deserves! Cheers dude!!

[@Ed-jg3ud]

Dude, I love your ads. I sometimes just watch for your ads! No other channel on KZbin can hold a candle to yours. Everyone skips ads, but when u make them, they’re enjoyable, even if I don’t want the product

[@madelinehoyle1059]

You said there aren't a lot of great games on Game Boy, but there really are. Donkey Kong 94, Final Fantasy Adventure, TLoZ Link's Awakening, Mole Mania, Super Mario Land 2, and Pokemon Red and Blue were my favorites growing up. They're definitely still worth playing today.

[@thegarf5677]

FFA lost me my Vcard

[@tabsntoot]

Tons of great gameboy and Color games. Nearly a combined library of 2000 not to mention an active homebrew scene I’d deffo get a flash cart the EZ Flash Junior is a good choice

[@Jacob-zv7xw]

I recently bought a modded gameboy color and sold it because there really isnt too many games im interested in. Im looking for a modded gba now lol

[@tadeuszmarin5704]

​​​@@Jacob-zv7xw You can get a Revo K101 for less than half the price of a modded GBA. And it comes already bundled with a flash card, so you can play both original and Jack Sparrow games ;) As far as clone consoles go, it's a very solid one, and it's already backlit + rechargeable but with the original Advance form factor.

[@mxwoods3]

It's so cool being able to watch this when you've seen the B-roll video on the clips channel and seen the behind the scenes of the video. Also cool knowing that table is chilling on 2 chairs and has dog scratches on it lol

[@rinkashikachi]

Hopefully a Game Boy OLED reveal from Nintendo

[@bland6004]

Nah, I heard a rumor they're making a 4k 120hz Gameboy with Xbox Gamepass. I put all my stock in Nintendo.

[@CDX23]

probably the most intricate screen mod ive seen for the GBC. I guess a rechargeable battery mod would be necessary to keep up with how much power it uses haha.

[@rockmanfan5104]

2 AAs work perfectly fine. I've done the mod to a few and honestly I like rechargeable AA over the rechargeable mod. It's easier to replace the AAs

[@filterfreephotography]

I just scored two Game Boy Colors for $40 untested. Turns out both work. One was missing all the screws and the speaker and was heavily dirty (I did not know it was grape until I opened it... ). It looked black. The Teal one has a lot of melted parts on the shell and a ton of scratches. Also, the Start and Select words are almost completely worn down. I picked up a new shell and IPS screen for the teal one and a new regular grape shell and speaker for the other one. Keeping one as original as possible and making the other into an IPS show piece. Love your channel!

[@JohnAllen-po5wd]

Your hair looks particularly soft and shiny today!

[@hacked2123]

4K videos look sooooo much better than most other channels. I think a few content creators either "upscale" to 4k, or the equipment blows, or they use a softening filter, idk what their problem is...but your video quality is on point!

[@panriso]

Bob this was an amazing video! Good job!

[@aarif1202a]

Literally was hoping to find someone to build it for me and the end of the video you mentioned just that!!! Scurries over to check their inventory and shipping costs to the uk . Cant thank you enough for this video!

Came for the GBC video, stayed for the ad. Love these ads Bob I can't really say that about most content creators but I really appreciate the effort you put in the ad spots.

[@Moonlighter_TV]

Man. The ads just keep getting better. Was also looking forward to the actual vid after seeing the previews you did on the Adarama stream.

[@robertfrost8264]

I remember this epic ice storm in Rochester in 1991. Power was out for days and all of our neighbors would gather together at night. All of us kids had the OG game boy and we crowded around a candle flame to play them haha. Good times.

[@MrSgnyktas]

Wow - looks gorgeous. Definitely getting one! You asked what other mods/systems would be cool to see, and honestly I’d be most excited to see a Neogeo Pocket Color with an IPS screen, but I know it’s niche. I’m also curious if anything interesting can be done with the GB Operator.

My favorite way to play Gameboy Color is with the Retroad 5 Plus and the GB/GBC Extension Converter. The home console version is the Retroad SFC52HD with the GB/GBC Extension Converter. Ali-Express has all the Retroad products. It's 16/9 and 4/3 aspect ratio and region free. It comes with two wireless controllers but I use the 8bitdo SNES dongle and the NES/SNES online controllers. A bit like pumping iron. It's a little big and heavy but there is a stand as well.

[@jelks_]

How do you wash waterproof shoes? With waterproof water?

[@Shawn_White]

You can get an aftermarket logic board for the DMG that gives you color. You have to transplant a CGB CPU from an old color gameboy since that's a custom chip but afterwards you have color on a DMG.
