Latest LCD Upgrade for the GBA | Laminated ITA Kit

[@megamix5403]

Man, we have come a long way since AfterBurner mods and AGS-101 kits. I'm seriously considering getting one of these. Good review, MachoNacho.

[@HerroYuy246]

Oh the afterburner days

[@Tye2K]

Just wanted to say I just received the kit a day ago, and thanks to this vid installation was easy. Also, the screen being laminated with the lens looks BEAUTIFUL & the “hum and hiss” isn’t as apparent with these ITA screens. Definitely recommend.

[@Grant-H2O]

you gotta see the one i just put together yesterday. Charmander Shell and ITA screen with ORANGE EVERYTHING ITS SICK and the ITA LCD is vibrant with the colors and has those retro lines on it. Now i see why ppl get the IPS mod but i kinda like that retro look to it. Honestly either one is cool but i would like to see IPS side by side but unfortunatly i ordered another ITA from funnyplaying in china so it wont be here for forever and returns would be difficult.

[@Tye2K]

@@Grant-H2O it might come sooner than you think. I ordered my GBC laminated kit & shell about 7-9 days ago and I thought I wouldn’t even get it this month but it came yesterday!

[@brooklyn11218]

I think a big con to these laminated kits is the fact that we have to buy a specially made shell. I love the look of the laminated LCD but I'm not a fan of aftermarket shells.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

That is certainly a con. And after reading your comment I just thought of another which is if the the screen lens cracks it will be difficult to replace. I’ll definitely mention that in my next laminated ips video.

[@slurmp4876]

There are a lot of crappy aftermarket shells, I agree. But I heavily modded my GBA and haven't looked back. The new shell I got for it came from HandHeld Legend, it's made by RetroSix, and it's the pearl edition. It's got a matte finish and a slight rubbery texture where your hands hold onto the console on the back. It looks and feels nice and gives the console a nice grip. I paired that shell with buttons from FunnyPlaying. Plus there's no excess plastic to shave off because it's made for ips screen mods 🙂. Unfortunately price wise it is a bit on the higher end as far as shells go though. It also fits the chargeable battery pack mod and you can get a matching battery cover that has a type c usb hole in it. The only shells I find that are always bad, no matter what, are the horrid DS lite and nds shells. There's always excess plastic and they require too much plastic shaving just to get original OEM parts to fit.

[@hotcoffeebreath]

Are the screens very prone to cracking? I'm guessing if you drop it on the floor it'll crack for sure but does it withstand the odd drop on the table if it slips out your hand?

[@shadow306k]

Thanks Tito for covering these kits, I am looking forward to seeing the comparison between this and the upcoming IPS kit!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Stay tuned 😉

[@Tye2K]

I already commented a week ago, but I wanted to come back just to thank you for this tutorial! This build looks FAR better than my IPS modded GBA & was way easier to accomplish thanks to this tutorial! Can’t wait for your next video, this really made my weekend!

[@dustinmoore6363]

Awesome tutorial as always, Tito! I put this kit together last weekend after watching this video and it looks awesome! FYI for those who want to try it out - I ran into a small snag where the screen was only showing white when I first fired it up, but some quick adjustments to the potentiometer mentioned at 8:32 fixed that right up. Keep up the great work!

[@retrojb101]

This video has already got me looking on eBay for busted up gameboy advances just so that I can perform the mod. Thanks again for a great video, Tito!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Your most welcome! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@Mob720]

I know this video focused on the screen kit, but man that drop in rechargeable battery mod is so slick. Utilizes the existing battery connectors so you don't have to desolder them, fits neatly in the battery compartment, only need to swap out the little door.. they really thought that through and made that as user friendly as possible!

[@amaiorano]

One con that should be mentioned is that these shells with the battery compartment that allow for both rechargeable and regular AA batteries are actually not awesome for AA batteries. The batteries can get easily knocked out of place if you're not careful (which happened to me while playing a game, almost dropping and catching the GBA... to find that it was turned off because one battery fell out of place). Awesome video as usual, Tito!

[@leinsaat5779]

This sounds super annoying, can't the batteries be hold in place somehow inside the Shell?

[@MrDrPhDDakamC]

Love the production quality of your videos and I'm definitely the target audience but man, when your video title says 'No Solder' it's hard to explain what you're doing at 3:54 to my friends who are afraid of soldering because they see that first and get freaked out. But I am really glad you explained the difference between models. Here's hoping we can find some 32 pin models.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Totally agree solder can be pretty daunting, I’m glad there is an Avenue to do this mod solder free with a 32 pin model. Wish it was for all models though

[@PooCrizzap]

Ive been watching a lot of gba and gbc mod videos lately, and I have to say yours are by far the clearest and most well done. Thank you for these!

[@localdude2979]

the power of thumbnails, i never had a gba in my life and didnt knew what were you talking about at first but the whole subject of moding stuff is cool, ty for sharing this with the world

[@ModzvilleUSA]

Damn these kits are looking pretty slick 👀 Those touch sensors really piss me off though so I'd probably end up lopping it off and just wiring it. I always accidently touch it on all my builds that have them.

[@TheMidGeekCrisis]

Agreed. I need to remove it from the NGPC I have. Every time I pick it up, it changes. And it drives me crazy.

[@leinsaat5779]

How do you lop them Off?

[@TheLatinDracula]

Can you just snip it off?

[@ramaaninsari9468]

I followed this guide to put together something similar! Two corrections: You placed the A/B membrane on backwards and didn't place the power light diffuser. The screws that come in the kit are pretty soft and strip easily, so the less you have to open it back up the better. P.S. The original screws for the GBA are stronger and reusable.

[@scottyparsonas6018]

Love these GBA mods. I've been waiting for a kit just like this. I have kept my GBA in the drawer for years because the screen isn't back-lit. Thanks to you sharing this kit, I'm ready to order one and pickup my GBA. Thanks Tito!

[@ratykat]

This really seems like a no brainer if you're trying to resurrect an old GBA with a dead screen! Thanks for another top notch video Tito, hope you're doing well!

[@kitterbug]

No brainer unless you have a 40 pin, lol

[@ratykat]

@@kitterbug I mean, you only have to remove one component off the board for the 40 pin right?

[@DiacloneFx]

Another great video, thanks Tito! I'd say one of the cons of a laminated screen is that, if you have the bad luck to scratch it, you have to replace the whole screen. Instead with a regular screen you just need to replace a much cheaper lens.

[@dragoonfunykid]

This is important to keep in mind. Along those same lines with this kit, you can’t get any custom printed lenses which may be a dealbreaker for me.

[@craigachuff6087]

Good point. I would definitely put a screen protector on it.

[@perpetualcollapse]

I prefer a matte anti-glare screen on all my portable devices but it’s nice to have options.

[@atheistbear2500]

Just love this system so much. So many mod options for any price point, and you get access to most of the 16-bit era for a huge discount compared to the home consoles.

I don’t really know what you want Nintendo to do about a 20+ year handheld other than re-releasing/remaking software from the library.

[@Punmaster9001]

@@Tye2K I want them to support their past products. Whether it's through an online option, like the NES, SNES, and N64 online service, or create an add on, probably in the next system that allows people to play their old kart games on. There's a company called Epilogue that created the GB Operator, it allows you to back up your games, back up old saves, and even play the kart you put in the slot for backing up. Nintendo has a vast library of games they could still make available to play, and the ones they can't relicense for an online service, they could create an addon that allows people to play their own games, the tech exists already, they even made their own at one point.

[@Dominicn123]

@@Punmaster9001 lol what an ignorant and entitled comment dude, Nintendo DOES support their old stuff, more than any other game company! Even in the form of merch and collectibles, and with the actual games you’ve had classic systems in every single system since the SNES in one way or another lol..even the GBA had NES classics and tons of SNES PORTS!

Thanks for this! I love the idea of a laminated kit as I find it super difficult to keep dust out of these things. One thing I would really love to see is a screen mod that incorporates the colour matrices available in GBI. I have a GBA Consolizer and use the palettes almost all the time - when I use my LCD modded GBA the colours look way too garish in a lot of games.

[@retro-junkie5741]

pretty slick. Wish they had more color options for the special case. Nice video bro!

[@akiriki97]

About the touch sensor acting up on it's own, I find that the best solution is to turn Frame Blending off in the OSD menu (since it's an ITA display, this feature isn't all that necessary).

[@aravindvinayakan]

I just ordered this kit yesterday! Can't wait to install it :)

[@skins4thewin]

Noticed that you didn't mention one of the biggest benefits - less input lag. At least I assume these kits have less input lag than a cheap aftermarket IPS display not originally designed for use with the console? Hope this gets tested, input lag on portables is not talked about or tested nearly enough for these screen replacement kits. It's a MAJOR issue though & needs to be taken into account when buying!

[@freddychopin]

It seems that FunnyPlaying's own IPS kit has at least two whole frames of additional lag, whereas the ITA only has one (which is unavoidable, because the original GBA display drew frames directly with no buffer, and this being a DSi display means it requires a buffer).

[@johnnycha]

This mod is really interesting! I would love to try this out for my Game Boy Advances with this kit and also the one for the original GBA shells soon!

[@homelesstogreatness6626]

This is my favorite screen out of all. Though I had to redo all the mods I did on my IPS v2 like the clixky buttons and amplifier mods to a new board because my V2 is already starting to wear out but I still plan to keep it as long as the corners of my screen hasn't turned black or faded into white. ITA screen's look is just way in-line with my preference.

[@TheOMGPudding]

Hey my procrastination paid off! I’ve been meaning to mod my GBA for a while but have been kind of intimidated by the non laminated kits, getting dust or a mid aligned screen would annoy the crap out of me. But now I don’t have to worry!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Haha, yep this scene changes all the time. It’s crazy how fast it advances.

[@marcianoacuerda]

It’s a mix of the game boy macro and the body of the Gba!! Yes x 100, this is what I’ve been waiting for, finally!! IPS screens look good and sharp, but I love the retro look of older lcds!

[@HydraSpectre1138]

This screen is basically the best of both worlds. The brighter and more modern displays of the AfterBurner mods with the authentic retro look of the vanilla and AGS-101 screens. This is exactly why I always wished for a screen with a 1:1 pixel grid or 1x scaling. I hope similar screen mods get made for the GBC, DMG, GB Pocket/Light and Game Gear.

[@swipyduck]

Just took the parts and added ur partner code :) I kepts watching videos like this but I never took the leap and did one myself. I can't wait !

[@KaleZ5272]

This is exactly what I have been wanting for almost a year

[@Grave79]

For anyone buying this kit now, the display bracket has been changed. It fits over the connected ribbons so you don't have to un-tape the board from the display at all. If you try to put the bracket under the board so that the ribbons lay on top of the bracket like the video, you'll damage the bottom ribbon. Unfortunately my display arrived with the bottom ribbon broken off where the ribbon comes out of the display, so unless I want a screen with no backlight (defeats the whole purpose), I'm waiting for Retro Repair Shop to replace :(

[@familybarton]

Thank you for this! Good luck with yours. My dilemma is that I like to look of the transparent shells, but this kit has really bad light bleed on anything that isn't a solid color. Haven't made up my mind yet.

[@Grave79]

@@familybarton Luckily I bought a solid black shell so light bleed shouldn't be an issue. I like the ITA more than the IPS. It looks more retro with the natural pixel grid and less saturated colors. Funnyplaying instructions show the board on top of the bracket, so maybe they still want you to install the same way. But the cut outs on the new bracket don't align to the ribbons perfectly on mine to do it that way. Makes more sense for the bracket to sit on top. New screen comes Monday. I'll try it again and confirm.

[@Grave79]

@@familybarton Received my replacement display. Honestly, I can't figure out which way the bracket should go. Both ways stress the ribbons once in the shell. I even tried ribbons below the bracket and display board on top of the bracket as a third option and that also didn't work out. I'm reaching out to Retro Game Repair Shop and FunnyPlaying for guidance because at this rate every way I try is going to wreck these ribbons.

[@familybarton]

@@Grave79 Thanks for the additional info. I just ended up buying the older unlaminated ITA kit. I wanted the option of being able to use an original OEM shell, so just went that route. Good luck though!

[@cat5e]

​@@Grave79 I just finished an installation with the revised kit, and I had to install the DSi LCD ribbons under the bracket instead of over. It was very frustrating to figure this out. Running these ribbons over the bracket almost destroyed the video signal ribbon -- I could not get anything but a white screen in the assembled form. Now everything is working fine.

[@MiriamBubger]

just ordered this entire set thanks to your vid! I've been waiting for a good kit using the AGS-101-like LCDs for the GBA, and I've been practicing soldering so this is just perfect!

[@DarkBowser64]

This looks great! If only I didn't have a 40-pin model original GBA; I really don't want to have to pick up a soldering kit! But this is definitely something I want to consider in the future as I really want that 1:1 pixel ratio and natural pixel grid look, even if I have to go and buy a 32-pin GBA just for it.

[@onldhes]

This is pretty awesome. I love that more screen options are available. I wonder what the input lag is like? I've personally been waiting for a good replacement screen with less or no input lag.

I do microsoldering for lots of different phones, consoles etc.. your work is clean.

[@emotionz3]

I’ve had about half the touch sensors on various kits malfunction and self-trigger. I usually just snip them off. If you wire the buttons it’s irrelevant. Also worth noting is the AGS101 and DS TFT’s do not natively support 5 levels of brightness. The potentiometer can only accurately dial in one level, so realistically I would go with the default brightness (3) on any retrofit kit using a TFT, not worry about changing brightness, and calibrate the potentiometer for that. Odds are it’s going to already be close to perfect for the default brightness anyway.

[@Kalvinjj]

1:1 pixels are nice for sure. Really like this option compared to the AGS-101 screen, given that the original ones aren't getting made for years, getting ever more expensive, the corners getting white towards the center and so on, plus killing an AGS-101 if it wasn't board-dead already which I've rarely ever seen anyway. Then the option turns into the Aliexpress new reproductions that have visibly different colors, contrast and sunlight visibility (to be honest not that there was much to begin with in that regard, that's AGB/AGS-001 dominance). This DSi LCD seems to match the color tone between the original AGB-001 screen and the AGS-101 ones. A huge plus in my view, the original 101 is way too saturated in older games. EDIT: ...what does ITA stand for??

[@DarkBowser64]

ITA stands for "DS[i] [T]o Game Boy [A]dvance".

[@viridionwaves]

Unfortunately it's not 1:1 pixels. Funnyplaying markets this as having the exact same resolution of the gba (240x160), but both top and bottom Dsi screens had a resolution of 256x192. So either it's not a dsi screen or its not the same resolution. You can see a visible difference in the way the pixel grid looks when turned off if you compare these screens to an ags 101.

[@Kalvinjj]

@@viridionwaves Doesn't the controller that interfaces the GBA to the DSi screen do the cropping? The GBA frame fits without too much borders inside the DSi frame after all. This would allow some calibration to center the image as well after install.

Hey Tito, pretty cool laminated ITA kit, thanks for showcasing this build. I have the previous model non-laminated and I can confirm that it's prone to dust building between the lcd and the lens. I'm only disappointed to see that for the moment Funnyplaying have a limited number of shells available, I bought a SNES theme shell with the previous kit that looks amazing and I don't have this option yet with this new iteration. But regardless, the ITA is my favourite LCD for the GBA - resembles the AGS-101. I'm not fully convinced on the rechargeable battery mod, not a bad option, but AA last a ton with this kit compared with the IPS kit version. Have you measured how many hours you pull with a full charge? (I get 9 hours with std rechargeable AAs)
