Giving the Game Boy Color Two Screens

[@TheRetroFuture]

Very cool! So glad this worked.

[@esotericsean]

Thanks Elliot!

[@markcordova8126]

You should do this

[@Hunt4Yoshi]

@@markcordova8126 why? this guy already did

[@markcordova8126]

Joseph Palma he did it on a gba sp

[@zeroset7402]

Wow, is this becoming a trend? I can imagine people adding another set of wheels to their cars because of all this

[@bodybody5609]

Adding 4 screen to the ds for no apparent reason

[@nerb6833]

love this, I want to see a play it loud colored original gameboy with the biggest amp/speaker you can possibly fit in it to make it sarcastically loud

[@prottentogo]

that ribbon soldering omg. I’d totally watch a video only about this.

[@esotericsean]

It was a pain haha, but I got better and faster the more I did. :)

[@ethand4784]

and so it begins...

[@sojannedos]

Music: 80s Hair by Hill. Give him some credit! He's a talented music composer!

[@sojannedos]

I saw this on your Instagram. So unnecessary, yet inspiring!

[@stinkysocksgamer3535]

LOVE IT! I saw the SP video from The Retro Future and yours really works!

[@suicide19915]

You think that's good check @haihaisb on Instagram. God mode King of handheld mods. He has and original Gameboy that plays all Gameboy variations and DS games. He's got Gameboys that play ds and have 3 screens... He's also been doing it for years.

[@stinkysocksgamer3535]

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you!

[@leapingfrog1159]

I love that you put "this is a love letter to Elliot" in the description. Such a cool community!

[@TurboGreen]

hahhaah this is brilliant! you and elliot are absolutely nuts and i love it!!!

[@keshov7945]

how is this channel not blowing up ? you doin great work my guy

[@weaponizedemoticon1131]

I hope this becomes a trend. Clean build!

[@teshx9x9x40]

That's actually super cool. congrats on a 2nd concept of a dual screen gameboy and 2 101 screens. big spender. ; )

[@yesterdays-tech]

It's madness and I love it!

[@maxtap2580]

You are really good at soldering, your work is inspiring. Very entertaining video.

[@JayBoyModz]

Toooo insane, I dont know how you guys have the patience to make these lmaoo great job on it now I need to see an original GBA version

[@ungratefulmango]

Really impressed with this one

[@SamuraiNetwork]

You should compete with Elliot to see who can add the most screens to the gameboy!

[@esotericsean]

😆

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Very well executed! Came out really amazing!

[@esotericsean]

Thanks so much! :)

[@W00fer]

That's a pretty neat microsope solution you have there. Your phone and a photo lense.

[@esotericsean]

Thanks! The lens was just to set the phone on. Later in the video I use a glass. Whatever I have nearby on my desk, heh.

[@jacksonshelton8055]

How in the world is it possible to solder that without melting the solder and disconnecting all the adjacent wires? Incredible!

[@esotericsean]

Haha thanks! It takes a bit of practice and a fine soldering tip, but I think most people can learn to do it :)

[@AppleVsGravity]

Love the 80's sound track!!! Great synth!

[@TheCustomWayOfGaming]

I wonder whether you will actually play on this thing. It's hard to focus on only one screen, isn't it? I have also watched Elliot's video, but your build looks even cleaner - and it does work. Wow! Also the video quality went up, great job! :-) P.S.: The camera zoom magnifier trick is amazing! :D

[@esotericsean]

I tried soldering without my phone “scope” but it was just too small lol

[@TheCustomWayOfGaming]

@@esotericsean Haha yes, I see. These pins are tiny! oO

[@TheJunky228]

> It's hard to focus on only one screen, isn't it? That just made me think of this, put the screens side by side (instead of vertically oriented like here) and turn it into a pseudo-3d gameboy! cross your eyes and enjoy getting a headache!

[@Ruslan.88266]

What we really need is a Gameboy color XL!

[@cljoe35]

Wow man! U da man! A true gameboy color engineer!

[@SCorpG22]

Maybe you could join a secondary battery bay onto the bottom for the second screen? And then maybe an additional D-Pad and buttons on the side for 2 player games! And the coolest thing? It would also look like a Tetris shape. I know I know, you don't have to thank me. You're welcome.

[@Richter.Belmont]

Absolutely epic work!

[@666lordofdestruction]

Hello everyone. Today we’re giving the game boy colour two screens....... for no reason.

[@NYKWHY]

You're a good soul Sean!

[@dubaigeek1988]

That's something. Love it

[@tonyortiz623]

Cool idea. I like it. but I have one question, if you can 3D print the back cover why didn't you just print a whole case. It would be stronger.

[@esotericsean]

Most 3D printing isn’t as high quality as people think, but I do plan on making a future episode about it. Still working on the 3D model. :)

[@EXT4NT]

Oh no, the retro future started a cursed trend

[@turank9201]

His qualities are so underrates

[@MrOmegabrian]

Awesome mod, bro. I hope the "useless mod for no reason" thing catches on. Now you gotta make it longer.

[@kcin4997]

Oh boy this is exciting.

[@stephenr7424]

Elliott was not the first to come up with this type of mod. Haihaisb has done a few of these years prior

[@esotericsean]

You're right, I follow Haihaisb on Instagram. Though, his are typically actually useful mods, lol. This one was just for fun.

[@RogueDarkChaos]

Super cool all the gameboy youtubers homies just vibing B)

[@netherrack7059]

i had a dream about 2 weeks ago playing on that?????? it was the same goddamn color too???? 😭😭😭😭

[@Th3OmegaPoint]

Nice! The real challenge is a Gameboy that plays on a DMG and a GBC screen simultaneously from the same cartridge :)

[@Hunt4Yoshi]

this must eat batteries...but anyhow,can you add a Cycloid to a gameboy?

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaq]

It looks so good it looks like it was made like that from factory, I subscribed. Make more videos!!! (sorry for my bad english I am from Chile.)

[@esotericsean]

Thanks! Hello from California :)

[@RuixuanWangTechnology]

Cool

[@gluttonousmaximus9048]

Somebody's gonna make a 10-screen GBC next; battery life be damned.

[@esotericsean]

lol I wanna see that

[@vitzie629sgamingtechnology7]

Where did you buy the violet (matching to the grape GBC shell) spray paint originally?

[@esotericsean]

Local art store called Art Supply Warehouse. But you can get Montana Gold online.

[@vitzie629sgamingtechnology7]

esotericsean Okay, thanks! What’s the name of the spray paint color?

[@esotericsean]

@@vitzie629sgamingtechnology7 the grape color is called "Gonzo"

[@vitzie629sgamingtechnology7]

[@mariahm9889]

Can you do a video about putting a gbc motherboard into a dmg shell?

[@sjrnoodles5721]

Make the bottom screen touchscreen and you got a DS

[@esotericsean]

@haihaisb on Instagram makes one like that :)

[@gathnobrain8024]

What paste are you using to solder the screen case on the other one ?

[@esotericsean]

Bondo and epoxy :)

[@ruthe.272]

you should try adding a gba slot to a switch or 3ds :3

[@esotericsean]

Hmm adding a slot is easy, but getting them to actually play GBA games is the hard part lol

[@ruthe.272]

@@esotericsean lol, understandable! love your vids, stay safe :3

[@MommaJuice-MJ]

This is epic

[@RetroRexzi]

So unnecessary & overkill, I love it. 😂 If you did this with just 2 original screens, that would have been impressive enough. But to go as far to put in 2 ags-101 screens, this is god tier modding!

[@blakryptonite1]

can you turn it sideways and use it as a split GBA display to play GBA games on GBC?

[@esotericsean]

Haha I dunno if I want to attempt anything like that 😅

[@blakryptonite1]

@@esotericsean I mean you might as well. tons of people like GBC form factor, but want to play GBA games on it.

[@stevenmills6502]

Yea you should make a GBA style set up for a game boy color I always like the layout of the original game boy advance compared to the SP version. Edit: I just left this comment and remembered: OH, yeaaa, it's backwards compatible

*Hey why doesn’t mine look like that?*

[@smproductions8989]

Oop nope I fixed it all good

[@David-hq9kn]

What did you use to connect the pieces together?

[@esotericsean]

Magnet wire. It’s super thin copper wire with a coating on it, designed for motor wrappings.

[@David-hq9kn]

@@esotericsean Thanks! I actually meant the plastic pieces. You used some grey stuff for it

I wish I had the time to do more modding, but it was very overwhelming running a modding business. Happy to recommend some other modders who might be able to help!

[@RAD_ss]

Ah yes, my favourite console, the GBC DS. Now I'm going to wait until someone gives the Nintendo DS phat 4 screens for no reason, or essentially the Nintendo QS.
