EASIEST Game Gear LCD Mod | RetroSix CleanScreen GG Kit | Retro Renew

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Hey everyone! The CleanScreen GG is compatible with both 2 Asic and 1 Asic Game Gear motherboards. You just need to make sure to buy the correct flex cable kit. Sorry for the confusion. Cheers!

FM sound for the Game Gear and Master System converter, please?

[@RetroDodo]

That custom shell is stunning! Andrew is a talented guy! Great video Tito!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Couldn’t agree more dude! I loved the way he made your shell too! The colors were perfect! Cheers my friend!

[@JanosTheHedgehog]

Sadly this custom shell is not what RetroSix sells on their website, they sell UV printed ones with no precision on the print, which means it can have something like 1 or even 2 milimeters bad offset from what you expect, it also can't print shades on transparent because the UV print needs to print a white primmer layer 1st, so if your shell is not white there's no shade for you, and that has limited printing area only on the front of the shell so nothing on the sides and nothing on the back of the shell.

[@CrossingRover]

Fantastic video. My only experience with the Game Gear was a girl in my neighborhood who got one in 1999 when Majesco re-released it. I was blown away with the backlit screen and power in a time when I had a Gameboy Color and a worm light. I was less impressed when I found out her parents refused to give her batteries so she had to use an AC adapter and plug into the wall!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Haha, that’s was the true struggle of the game gear. I remember when I was younger I spent more time playing it plugged in than with batteries too. I also had a recharge battery pack which was kinda cool! Cheers!

[@diogotorres30]

dude, your channel is truly inspiring. perfect pacing, presentation, cinematography, interesting content... the only thing i see lacking is recording in 4k, but i understand it has its costs. keep it up man ;)

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you Diogo! I will do 4K one day! Cheers!

[@dthom88]

I just want to say I second everything he says. I just got into the modding scene, and have really enjoyed watching your videos learning how to do so! Keep up the great work!

[@MatSpeedle]

This is going to save a huge amount of time doing these mods, it takes a long time to mod the GG with an LCD screen and this is a game changer. Definatly going to pick this up for one of the motherboards in the spares bin. Great build chap and that case is superb!

[@The8bitBasement]

This was insanely helpful! Every time we attempt a new mod or repair we always come to your page first to see if you have a video on it. Everything is explained so well!! Thank you

[@AlanLopez-rd6fj]

Thanks so much for this video. I was able to install mine first try! the screen looks awesome.

[@DisguisedPigeonLOL]

Fantastic video and super excited to see more competition for Game Gear modding. Seems like each company releasing an LCD kit is improving on the last. This leads to something I'm surprised you didn't mention in the video, and that's costs. McWill's will go over $100 (if you get them Stateside and get a genuine McWill, not a Chinese clone) and the RetroKai Magic Screen also comes out to $100 with better features than the McWill. And now it seems like this kit will be closer to the $65-$75 range WITH significant install and feature improvements on the other kits.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

That’s a great point! Cost is definitely a huge factor that I should have mentioned. I need to get more sleep.

[@DisguisedPigeonLOL]

@@MachoNachoProductions haha I understand that. You're videos are superb - some of the best retro modding videos on KZbin. Your sub numbers definitely don't reflect the quality of your content. Keep pumping it out and I'm sure the subs will catch up.

Hi, as usual here is a nice and awesome video ! I love watching your tutorials ... I decided to go for this Retrosix kit. I think it will be so nice because the original screen has always been of poor quality ... Thank you very much Macho Nacho

[@hadesmcc]

Awesome build but the fact that the screen isn't a perfect integer scale to the original resolution kind of kills it for me. I really dislike shimmering.

So far all kits have this issue. I’m hoping we get a solution that solves this. Cheers!

@@bland9876 I didn't notice the latest NGPC mod to having any shimmering. And great Pixel Mode.

[@Evercade_Effect]

Totally epic and awesomest Game Gear to date. GG was my second handheld console. I enjoyed playing Sonic, Streets of Rage on it very much. Terminator was fun as it was frustrating. When Mortal Kombat was all the hype I loved playing it with all the gore and blood. Kano was missing with one punch and kick button. Start was block but it all worked. At the time be a kid who could play an arcade port in the car and in color was worth it.

[@ForeverWinter1812]

Absolutely stunning video work man! I absolutely love your content! The Game Gear was my first handheld so I have a lot passion for it. And I am so happy that it's getting all this love and attention. I just wish the screen had correct scaling. I have a custom Japanese gray Sega Saturn themed will modded Game Gear with video out a player One controller port, love everything about it except the shimmering and Screen tearing. Lol. I just bought a second Game Gear that I'm just going to save until the right screen comes out. Thanks for all your hard work and amazing videos!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Same here, it was also my first handheld. I’m sure we’ll be seeing more mods moving forward! Hopefully some will address the shimmering. Cheers dude!

[@PabloAvilaEstevez]

Damn, this video could not have come at a better time, a buddy of mine gave me an old game gear a while back and just yesterday I got around to opening it up and inspecting it Thank you for the awesome content

[@ardentdrops]

@@MachoNachoProductions one thing I didn't see in your installation: does the mod require you to snap off the screw post like the other two? Fewer cuts will definitely affect how I see the mod

Wish these were out sooner! I fried one of my 2 ASIC models trying to get the McWill kit to work... Still have a single ASIC, I will definitely be buying this kit to make the install easier!

The age old question Tito!! What lens colour 🤣 We really struggled deciding on black or white lens...

[@LakeParkerYT]

Hey Tito! Love the video and that dope custom MNP shell! You've inspired me to start building my own ultimate sp, and I was wondering if youd ever make video about soldering? Covering your equipment, tips and tricks, recommended products, etc. I've learned a lot just watching your videos but a dedicated video would be extremely helpful! (especially because your solder jobs specifically are so clean)

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Hey Luke! Glad you’re enjoying the channel! Absolutely, I am planning on making videos covering those topics! Stay tuned buddy!

[@Consolerepairstore]

Sega Nomad needs some love.. Prestige Shells and More options for Screen upgrades.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Agree! That would be awesome!

[@SuperNova0079]

Wow this mod is a must have for me. Your game gear in this video looks gorgeous. I've been looking for an easier mod for the Gamegear than the previous featured. Thanks for showing it Macho, Keep up the great work!!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thanks Super Nova! I’m totally in love with it too! It’s a great mod, I think you’ll really like it! Cheers!

[@BrotherTyGuy]

This looks really cool. A couple years back I collected many retro consoles and portables. I lost interest but have gotten back into it a bit and I want to upgrade my Sega Game Gear. My only block is I have no prior knowledge of soldering and I'm unsure of these tools and whats needed. I think if I did start, I would want to try on a GBA, then move on to a Game Gear. Wish me luck!

[@overnightdelivery]

Start with cheap practice kits. I went with a mini-Piano 🎹 kit off Amazon that has lots of soldering and fun to use after your done. It's surprisingly easy after awhile but you'll need quite a few tools to be ready for a big modification. Temperature controlled Iron, several different sized tips big and small, Micro screwdriver and screws set, Soldering wire with Rosin/Flux already built-in, Micro Wire Cutters, Tweezers, Flux, Soldering Wick and Solder Sucker. Bunch of stuff I'm probably forgetting but those basic tools will get you off to a good start. ;)

[@BrotherTyGuy]

@@overnightdelivery Sorry for the late response. I recently bought a bunch of tools for soldering. I've so far have only done simples projects like fixing Gameboy cartridge's save batteries. I've never heard of these kits and will defiantly will be checking them out.

[@thathvacguy]

I appreciate this, I just recently found my game gear in a box, in my parents basement and have replaced all the caps from the retro six cap kit on the mother board. In doing so I also order the screen but after watching your video it looks like I will have to order those bracket other boards and that tape as well 🤦🏽‍♂️😂

[@stuartleckie]

Oooo. It’s getting close now to where a ham fisted hack like me might be able to do this mod. I have my spare GG almost ready, new case, buttons etc all picked out. Just need to decide which screen mod to attempt. Thanks for this.

[@skins4thewin]

Looks great! Really wish it had a gridline scanline option tho, it looks amazing with retro games.

[@billgower7896]

Hey what gauge wire did you use for the 9 and 21 pins on the back? I want to use wire from a CAT5 cable that I had but the gauge seemed to big. Any suggestions?

Hey Tito, amazing build and video as usual! I’m digging that custom shell, looks high quality and the colour is outstanding, nice touch! Regarding the screen, it does seem to be easier to install than the RetroKai which is a lot to say. Something I noticed with the screen modes, the scan lines seem horizontal rather than vertical present on the McWill and RetroKai modes, I’d like to see them side by side if possible and what is your opinion. I’m also curious about the sound card, how better is the sound comparing to your RetroKai build/stock i.e.? I look forward to that video then hehe. Cheers!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

I am definitely thinking of doing a comparison video of the 3 options, I think people would be very interested in that. Will also be doing a dedicated RetroKAI soundboard video. Stay tuned! Cheers Jesus!

[@Tsigarinho]

First of all hello Tito. A new video and a very interesting one as Game Gear is my favourite handheld console. 1) I contacted Retrosix and they told me that the cleanscreen is compatible with all game gear models! In your video you are telling that is only compatible with 1 asic model and in the future will support 2 asic model too. Now i am confused! What is the truth? By the way i own 3 Game Gear consoles. 2 modded with McWill and the third one with the official screen as it is a version 5! So is it compatible with cleanscreen? 2) The procedure of installing that new screen is not the easiest thing but not also the hardest one. For the noobs with no soldering skills is gonna be a difficult one. I am noob too but until now with your videos i've managed to mod a lot of my consoles with 100% Success :-) 3) I love the scanlines effect that are horizontal and not vertical like on McWill screens. 4) Also i like that you can edit the brightness with the wheel as you can't do such a thing on McWill screens. 5) What is the difference by instaling that new sound board? Less power and more clear sound? Please enlight me. 6) I love those shells BUT i hate that dark spots like holes. I have seen many designs of that producer and is doing an excellent work. I wonder if he can make those spots disappear. Overall is the best mod you have done so far and is really beautiful. For the video i have no words. The same as usual......PROFFESIONAL! Have a nice day Tito and thanks for sharing! Love and peace from Greece!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Hello there! Yes, this kit is only compatible with the single asic, retro six will release a new flex cable that will work with the dual asic in the future. The new soundboard is good if you have a damaged one. Not sure if any improvements at the moment. I will be making a video soon about it! Stay tuned! So glad you are enjoying the videos my friend! I hope you have a wonderful day also! Cheers buddy!
