[@Heidegaff]

The reason the battery has to be charged when the device is off is because the GBC lacks the circuitry required to cut off the battery while charging, it would discharge the battery while it's being charged and the effects could range from ruining the motherboard to the battery exploding.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Whoa that would be bad 😅 thank you for the explanation.

[@roarke222]

Yeah, although if you use a LiPo and an Adafruit PowerBoost series, or similar quality charge board, you can charge and play at the same time. The PowerBoost has charge protection, a power regulator for stable output and can handle charging while playing

[@GENKIDAMA10]

Fuck**** genius

[@Ponnybit]

it's doable tho

[@garystinten9339]

Why not a redesign of the circuit to stop the battery from draining whilst charging.. as in have a set of batteries that would allow maybe an hour of play whilst the rest of the batteries could be charged??

[@BRKsEDU]

I recently started playing The Machine (amazing btw) on my GBC and that made me realize how dim the screen is. And I played that as a kid in my dad's car during family trips 🤣

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Haha nice dude! Yeah, I remember playing my game boy pocket and game gear on road trips back in the day. I keep thinking how cool would it have been if we had these types of mods back then 😅. Cheers dude!!

Seeing all the cool things we can do today with GBs is such a pleasure. I would love to be able to take modded consoles like this to the 90s and blow younger me's mind. Thanks for another great video!

I think about this all the time. What would younger me think of all these mods 😁

[@jigs4wkiller]

@@MachoNachoProductions I would have destroyed at least 2 Gameboys and ended up with an unmodded one. I'm really not talented when it comes to soldering 😂

[@ghost-jesus]

​@@MachoNachoProductionswhat about a super gameboy color cartridge or even an SGBA

[@ccricers]

The Game Boy Color was my first handheld over 20 years ago and it's so nice to see that there's now a modding community for it and helping keep it alive.

[@milnan]

15:40 White light is een perfect mixture of the three colors red, blue and green. Blue has a higher intensity so if all led's are the same size the blue could very well be overpowering the other colors creating the blue instead of white.

[@user-tx5nh7pv2o]

They may just be RGB instead of RGBW. RGBW has dedicated white LEDs that are more accurate

[@bahamutbbob]

If you're reusing the stock membranes, they are a light blue. For an LED mod you really need to get clear membranes for the full effect, but new membranes take a few months of regular use to break in.

[@ImadKhan1990]

I think the only thing I'd add to this mod would be a USB-C port for charging and a speaker amp.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

I was torn between this power mod and the usb-c one. The usb-c one requires some shell trimming but is definitely more convenient and there’s no proprietary cable which is nice

[@ImadKhan1990]

@@MachoNachoProductions yup. The USB-C mod is a bit of a pain. But like the European Union said to Apple, we're all tired of carrying around 10 different cables. Now, as for the amplifier, could you sit it on top of the LED thingy?

[@japanboys13]

@@ImadKhan1990 I think you can with some insulation,( kapton tape), and possible shell trimming to ensure the parts are not crushed. Goodluck!

@@MachoNachoProductions I have the USB-C kit, and it's very nice to just grab any of the cables I already have, and not have to worry about it.

Nice, though I'd probably go for something that cleans up the headphone jack output, tbh!

[@kylewalker7991]

Macho your videos are incredible. I work as a night shift machine operator and my cycles take two hours at a time. My manager is pretty laid back so I get to just sit back, keep an eye on my machine tools as they run, and enjoy some quality modding videos. Thank you for keeping work fun!

[@quatreryukami]

Oddly, this covers basically everything I wanted to know about my desired end product except for a speaker amp and USB-C. Brilliant.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

There is another mod there that does have usb-c but it does require some more trimming 😅

[@Mdg87]

These videos are so satisfying and relaxing to watch. You make this stuff look so easy breezy and not tedious at all. I love tinkering but after losing a tiny spring for the 3rd time while fixing my sons joycon, I had to walk away and found this to watch!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you! I’m sure with some more practice you’ll be able to do these mods as well! Just gotta stick with it 😁👍

[@rolandorga9212]

Macho you never dissappoint, I would love to see a "Cramming a shit-ton of mods on a gba" but take your time, your quality is super worth the wait uwu

If this happened, I might follow along. I have an (old) modded GBA with an AGS-101 screen, and I recently put a Helder battery in it, but it would be nice to be able to have more control over brightness. Maybe all I need is a new ribbon cable?

I thoroughly enjoy watching your tutorials Tito. I am new to retro modding and find your videos very helpful, simple and detailed. Thank you

[@joharakiri]

This is quite impressive. For everyday use though personally I'd just get an IPS screen and a pre cut aftermarket shell to make the mod entirely drop in. HDMI out feels more like a gimmick anyway. As to power supply i find two sets of rechargeable AA batteries do the job perfectly fine. Any money unspent after that can go towards a decent flash cart.

[@TravisFabel]

It's only a gimmick until you want to video capture or you have a young kid that wants to see what you're playing and you don't want them being a parrot on your shoulder.

[@LRM12o8]

That's my plan for a GameBoy Color as well. I prefer AA/AAA rechargeables anyway, because they can be swapped in seconds and don't require you to stay tethered to a power socket.

[@adityavaibhav4941]

Nice video as always Tito, your video production quality is next level. I hope you can do something same for the og GBA 😁.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you so much Conscious ONE 🙏☺️

[@hawkfeather6802]

It looks amazing! I really like the shell and IPS screen.

[@bahamutbbob]

I did a similar build 6-7 months ago, and I'm using it all the time. I used none of the same parts/kits, but it has most of the functionality. I'm tempted to do that LED kit just to get low battery warnings, because as it is now, it just shuts off on it's own.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

That is definitely one of my favorite features of the led kit

[@revelationsthreesixteen1108]

Always loved the led designing of a console,and would love to see a led showcase in one of your future moddings...don't matter which system,but your capability to create a great led show experience on it...one of the better design concepts of my interest... good work mate🥂✨

What an inspiring video. I found my old GBC and watching this has definitely convinced me to try this mod. A few questions: what kind of solder do you use and at what temp? Also does the RGB LED kit show the low battery warning regardless of power source? I’m thinking of installing the USBC battery kit from Retro Game Repair Shop.

With capturing, after also having the same problem with my elgato, I bought a cheap usb dongle type capture card from Amazon. Works a treat. Seems like the elgato is expecting a handshake but the cheap ones ignore it.

[@guardianrandy]

My issue with these modern enhancements is that I'm one of those sticklers who prefers the way in which a CRT or LCD screen would blur the pixels creating a softer image. I know a lot of people really want crisp pixels, but it just feels wrong to me. I recently modded my GBA SP with an IPS screen, and that was the first thing I noticed. I wish there were some way to enable a filter to slightly soften the image. Still, that's a slick-looking Gameboy Color! Nicely done and hats off to you for putting in all that work to trim and solder everything.

[@LRM12o8]

That's why I prefer connecting my NES and SNES via RF over Component out and part of why I prefer a backlight mod over a sharp screen on my GameBoy pocket. NES graphics just look lifeless and bland without the RF noise. I feel like many games (most notably SMB) relied on noise to give texture to the backgrounds or they were simply not able to fill the screen with textures. The SNES has more textures, but it still looks fine through the RF, definitely better than a cheap converter. GameBoy graphics also look quite untextured in a perfectly crisp, high-res image, and I feel like the pixel grid makes the image look more defined on that console. For all other consoles that werw released later, I prefer a sharp, flawless and noise free image though. I've never been a fan of CRTs, I can't stand CRT whine and it's a mistery to me how it didn't make my ears bleed as a child, but it did make me very uncomfortable nowadays.

[@BenSchmerler]

Excellent communication as always. You are even using the word embiggen, which is a perfectly cromulent word.

[@stevet7522]

I had no idea that Gameboy modding was a thing. Is there a build for using roms? Great video btw.

[@SoundToxin]

I'd love to see a battery mod that supports play and charge and fits in a funnyplaying shell. I've heard some mods support play and charge, but I'm not sure which ones. Being able to plug into a big power bank to expand your charge while you play even longer would be really cool.

[@cheater00]

You should try using a cnc for cutting jobs like enlarging the screen hole. It might be difficult at first to get access, and it's not something people can normally repeat at home, but: 1. You can show how much better the result can be this way; and 2. People will see it's easy and will start looking around for access to cnc themselves at hacker spaces etc. And this way the skillset will become more and more popular and more people will find themselves able to do even more amazing looking mods that look factory made.

You could easily modify it to use usb-c/micro-usb instead of that barrel charger... that also could work as port for external gamepad(but that need some custom pcb and some delicate work). Thenuse bigger battery(but it look bad in translucent case) also I remember that there is mod for bigger screen... so yeah, we can go even more with modding.

[@anon_y_mousse]

The batteries not being able to charge while you're playing is a huge minus, plus the power cable not using a standard USB port as well. As for the battery compartment, you should have used a drill to make a clean hole and thread the battery wire through that. The giant cavity with the jagged edges is definitely a mistake.

[@Fat_Halpert]

Great stuff man! Random question. In the future, do you have any interest in making videos about adding USB-C ports to handhelds? I'd love to see you tackle that on a PS Vita or a Game Boy Micro.

the battery mod not being able to charge when in use is a major set back, I'd like the battery indicator on the screen not look like the pixels are just not turned on(and if that could be turned off), and I'd wonder if a stock/Nintendo branded GBC wall power supply even work with this battery mod. I like a lot of things about this GBC mod setup but those little nit picks would make it pointless. I love the ideas these mods propose but damn Funny play did you have to just goof up the execution. I hope they iron out these inconveniences so this is just a kit cause this mod setup looks sick. And the white leds not showing white would probably be due to the pealessent coating on the shell distorting the color cause in the video it looked like a green dot with a blueish halo.

You can make the flex pcb even flatter by holding it down with neodymium magnets. This way ut won't be just flat at the points, it'll be flat everywhere.

a thing of beauty!

Totally agree 💯

16:24 Alright, I'll stick to using rechargeable AA NiMH/Li-Ion batteries then, thanks! 😂👍

The case from funnyplaying is much better because the Q5 ips display already sticks to the glass there and thus the gap between the screen and the glass is left out.

With your discount code, all four of these mods would run about $125ish. Not bad. Considering I still have my original GBC and would like to refurbish it at some point. The speaker doesn’t work anymore and needs repair. These mods are cool enough that it makes me want to tear into it, mod it and fix the speaker at the same time.

One thing I don't really care much on GBC mods is the battery one. The energy density to good Ni-MH cells is about the same, and with those you get to have as many batteries as you want fully charged ready to go, and specially, with zero modding needed. Also nothing impedes you from adding the internal Ni-MH charger as well like with the Li-Ion. The one thing Li-Ion mods got tho is weight.

I agree and think quality nimh batteries are a great power alternative. I still use eneloops in some of my consoles.

Tbh i would've gone for usb c port for charging but other than that this is brilliant

[@calibomber209]

[@MachoNachoProductions]
