The NEW, BEST and EASIEST Way To Do The Gameboy MACRO Mod! | Helder’s Macro Flex Amp Mod

[@BloodSinEngraved]

I really wish the psp go would get this kind of attention. I would love a micro SD mod for storage, or third-party batteries.

[@valley_robot]

Had SD storage on PSP for years , buy a memory stick to SD adapter they are around 2.00 pounds from ebay, ahh just realised you said PSP go ,only 16gb internal, that sucks

[@burakgursoy1388]

Go has the smaller memory card, not the memory stick

[@cameronn2572]

Get the micro SD card adapter. You'd have to open up the console and install it yourself, buy it does allow for SD storage for your PSP go if you do

[@frikifectonotengo6609]

The memory cards used by PSP Go are even smaller than micro SD, so there's no room for modding a microSD port in substitution of the one already has.

[@cameronn2572]

@@frikifectonotengo6609 it's been done before. requires case trimming to fit it inside though kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmLVo2CEdpx7ers&ab_channel=LongIslandRetroGaming

[@Tense]

I just want to say again for like the tenth time. Your videos have such an amazing professional flair to them. I am always blown away every time I watch one at the absolute high quality of them.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you so much Tense! I can’t tell you how much that means to me! I always try to make the best possible videos I can and will continue to try an make them better and better. Thanks again buddy for the kind words! Cheers!

[@DisguisedPigeonLOL]

Agreed. Can't believe the sub count isn't higher yet

[@keeganfaulkner1240]

I love when you are right about to complete the mod and the piano riff starts playing

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you Keegan!

[@jakethesnake4040]

I’ll be honest. I’ve been playing mostly Pokémon on mine, and I play with the audio off or headphones anyway. What I do like is that it simplifies everything. You’ve got everything you need in this, and it upgrades and improves the original mod. So now you just solder this little thing in and that’s it, your done. It’s really great. The resister was tough to solder cuz my hands are shaky. I may just have to redo mine. Tho I gotta open it up to fix it, my triggers aren’t working for some reason now lol

[@guitubagrips9719]

any luck fixing the triggers?

[@Monkeymeep]

Idk how you even make so many videos so quickly. It takes me 3 weeks to make a video like this.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

With a full time job it’s tough. Takes a lot of planning and some late nights. But to me it’s worth it in the end! I love modding and making videos and sharing them with this awesome community! Cheers Darby!

Helder is a legend. Since his Gameboy Zero days (with his awesome AIO and retropsu), until all the new goodies he is now making, the design and build quality are outstanding. Too bad his work has been shamelessly been ripped off from so many "BIG" businesses of the scene.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

His work is great! From the batteries to his flex amp mods! Great stuff!

[@DaRk_DoG]

@@MachoNachoProductions indeed. I wanted his megabatt batteries also but thats a no go for Europe atm :(((

I just bought a GBA SP battery from Helder and it is fantastic. So much better than the junk batteries on eBay.

@@Crynok thank you mate, just checked their site. Cheers!

[@ayellowbeard]

Okay, so when I first watched this tutorial I missed the part where the resistor was already on the flex board and so when I was ordering the parts I went back and watched some of the older tutorials where you had to solder the resister in separately. I was pretty nervous about that but went ahead and got all the parts. When everything came in today I saw how small those things are and just about had a heart attack but then rewatched this video and when I heard that the resister is part of the amp board I just about fell over in my chair! I literally yelled out, "Oh thank gawd!" Thank you thank you thank you!

[@stevenboswell4524]

The helder flex amp is the ONLY way to do the macro mod! Super easy to do even for my shaky hands, and his customer support is hands down the best out there, helped me diagnose my issue within 2 hours of emailing him. I'm glad I saw this video recommending it! Thank you Tito for the excellent videos!

[@TheeNerdyDad]

with this piece, its a call for me to get the parts together! great video tito!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thanks dude! It really is pretty awesome! I think you’ll like it!

[@Chrono_Dragoon]

Just wanted to say thank you for doing this mod, and sharing the information with us. I recently built a Game Boy Macro that has audio issues - crackling/distorted at high volumes - and was seeking a solution. Then I saw this video, and think Helder's amp will do the trick! I've got a couple amps on order now (I'm planning to build a second Macro), and I'll let you know how it goes.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

You’re most welcome buddy!

[@Chrono_Dragoon]

Hi again! I got the amp from Helder and installed it today - it ended up great! Between installing the amp and adding some kapton tape under the speaker (a step I overlooked in my initial build), the audio is now crisp, clear, and LOUD. His amp design and your video made it super easy to understand what to do, and the video was easy to follow along with as I went. I will say I had some bumps along the way, but that was due to my skill level - I'm new to soldering, so this was a great learning experience. And, my screwups (due to a slightly unsteady hand) were nothing a little solder wick and IPA couldn't clear up, so: no problem in the end. Cheers to you once more for making such a great tutorial!

[@renatinhoss]

the quality of your videos is impressive. You can see the enormous dedication you put into them, congratulations.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you🙏! That really means a lot! I try to make the best possible video I can. Cheers!

[@aravindvinayakan]

Purely by coincidence I ordered Macro parts from BoxyPixel the day you uploaded this haha

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Nice!

[@paganmadnessYT]

2:23 -> You got a type there: It's not a 331 Ohm resistor, it's 33 * 10^1 = 330 Ohm, since the last digit just says how many zeros you have to add (just for clarification for viewers who might not know)

[@darklink4160]

This video is so professional and right to the point plus it has modding consoles in it. I'm sold.

[@glitchedmac]

just waiting for all the pieces to be back in stock... seems to be the story for so many things these days!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Totally, wish it wasn’t like that. Best of luck! Cheers!

[@blackishjustin]

Great video. It's really exciting to see these new innovations from the modding community. Even though I'm getting better at soldering, seeing solutions such as this makes it all the more appealing to try it out. I'm definitely going to have to add this to the future projects list.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

So glad I’m able to show you these really neat new mods! This is certainly a great project Justin! Cheers buddy!

[@MAN-fh5ol]

This is by far the best channel when it comes to retro gaming

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you so much! 🙏. Means a lot, cheers!

[@Leinner16]

Clean and nice as usual. Only thing I've been doing when tangling with the rubber covers on the DS and the SP is put a drop of IPA and let it soak for a few seconds before removing them. This loosens the glue but not permanently so it's easier to work with and can help preventing damage. Same process when putting them back on.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Nice! Thank you for the tip! Cheers!

[@FamousWolfe]

Oh man this looks so cool! Sadly I don't have the tools or the soldering skills needed lol. I'll stick to emulation on my Steam Deck for now, but keep up the great content!

[@LsAdventurer]

It's so cool how GBA games actually look good on a DS screen, and aren't being upscaled to the screen's resolution like DS games are on a 3DS by default.

[@csmyder]

Excellent video and awesome product. Helder’s stuff never disappoints, so well designed!

[@MewKnows]

I probably will never actually be doing this mod but I still watched it til the end lol, great vid!

I'm not interested in Game Boy Macro, but your videos are so professional and well done that I've to see it anyway! :-D

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you Dario! Really appreciate buddy!

[@MrGamecubeVT]

The one downside I always so with the DS is that it lost multplayer functionality for GBA Games, would love to see a GBA Link port mod for DS/GBA Macros. Hopefully someones working on it.

[@ccheat113311]

This is a great video. Well done and informative. Something to note if you are planning on using the DS Lite faceplate you'll need some 30 gauge kynar wire to extend the speaker over to where the stylus used to be. For the price of the helder's flex amp it felt like an easy decision to build my gb macro with it. Though, I ran into an issue where everything was working fine including the headphones, but no sound came out of the speaker. I checked all of my solder points and that didn't solve the issue. It turns out quite a few people on the gameboy macro subreddit have run into this with the helders flex amp and there doesn't seem to be a decent solution. I'll be troubleshooting mine and will post here if I find anything.

[@Keithjordan101]

I can't get the replacement switch speaker to work well. The speaker wire is so thin, hard to strip. Now sound cuts in and out, and mostly static.

[@soraa34]

This is a great video, I would love they add a back cover for the macro mod so the DS slot stays hidden.

[@HitnRunTony]

I like the custom shell, makes it look more sleek

[@AceUndergeekBunny]

I don't thank's you... I want to mod every Game Boy Advance I have and make a GB Macro 🤣. Like many I discover your channel with the 2nd GB Macro a year ago and I going to repeat myself, but you do a wonderfull job and you are a great ambassador for the Modding communnity. Thanks 🤘.

Your videos make me feel warm and fuzzy inside also. Great job, Tito. I already did the Gameboy Macro mod but this is making me want to do another one. How hard would it be to undo the mood I already did and use the flex amp PCB?

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you bro! So glad you are enjoying my videos! Means a whole lot to me! It’s very easy! That what I did. Just desoldered the resistor and speaker and remove the residual solder with solder wick and you’re good to go! Cheers buddy!

[@binkus8585]

The only downside is no backwards compatibility with the gbc and dmg

[@MitsurugiW]

Here is some news since I've not seen it addressed anywhere else. If you received the revision 1.1 of the flex amp (version shipped in batch after this video) there is a design flaw where the sound is muted when you press right on the D pad. This was fixed in their new design but the v1.1 can be modded with 1 jump wire and a small piece of kapton tape to fix it.

[@josephlefebvre9213]

oh nice! Def going to get one of these for my Boxy pixel Macro as the audio is quite anemic. Thanks Tito!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

You’re most welcome Joseph! The volume is now super loud with the amp!

[@Tk4Plz]

Always really appreciate the work you put into your videos. Great entertainment and source for new ideas and information!! Keep it up. Greetings from Germany. :)

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you so much Thomas! Will do buddy! Cheers!

[@Aces50001]

Now we need an amp for a regular ds lite!

[@Shaner9er]

They really should have done this for the NDS as it had all the hinge issues even more so than the lite and would be a better unit to use for just advanced gaming in my opinion of course. either way very cool and great video.

Great video! How does this amp affect the battery life?

[@nonlegend]

Love your vids Tito. Your guide was essential for me to complete the Gamegear mod. If you ever run out of things to mod. You might consider doing a video on the Arduboy. It got a mod chip add on a few months back.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you nonlegend! That means a lot to me bro! Will definitely have to check out the arduboy! Haven’t heard of it before. Cheers buddy!

[@nonlegend]

@@MachoNachoProductions The arduboy is a micro handheld that has a community of developers who share free games. The original Arduboy could only hold 1 game at a time. The add on lets the device hold over 200 games.

I wish the Boxy Pixel faceplate had an option to add a dowel light rod. They look so cool!

[@Servbot31]

Damn I need this! Have you ever made a video on basic tools needed for modding? I'd like to put myself into this and I have actually no tools at all so I could use some advices here ^^

Gonna do this but with a plastic faceplate! So excited. I was able to find a broken DS lite really easily! And in black! Most expensive thing will be the EZ-FLASH Omega DE, but I have a single GBA game to play until I'm ready to buy.

[@nerdynicknacksandgeekygear8682]

Love what you did here, This looks like a fantastic project, probably going to order the parts. The one thing holding me back is my lack of experience with soldering. Would you recommend this or a different project, like one of the GBA IPS installs for someone with ZERO soldering experience?

[@adept_digits166]

I know this is an old comment but I've been thinking about making this my first soldering project too. I'm desperate to raise this DS up to a new glory The fact that this mod has the register built in is incredible that was my biggest concern with how small it is

[@juanbermudez964]

Sick!! I’ll get one for sure

[@josephtirado123]

Hey man, I’m a huge fan of your channel. I follow a lot of your in depth tutorials on modding. I was recently trying this mod (gameboy macro). I completed it and The system boots up fine and plays games. But my sound quality is terrible. From the moment you turn it on you hear a high piercing sound followed by crackling and static while the audio plays. Do you have any suggestions of what I might be able to do next? Should I just replace the speaker? I do have a second replacement speaker. Thanks for your time. I appreciate it.

[@geriscorner]

It is a beautifully crafted piece , no doubt. I think I will be making one just for the novelty of its aesthetics even though I still haven’t found a crispier image than the one offered by the ips v2 kit on the gba sp. Which one is your favorite way to play gba on the go ? Agb, sp, unhinged or macro ?

[@MachoNachoProductions]

The pros of the macro is just how thin it is compared to everything else (I think it’s even a bit thinner than the micro). Plus I really like the horizontal layout. The unhinged is just beautiful to look at and it has an IPs screen. I’d say both are great! Cheers bro!

[@ryujiyamazaki583]

This is an amazing mod and I would love to use this in my macro💯!

[@nubatman]

Not a bad alternative to the GB Macro mod. It's not one I want to try since I already did the original. I do, however, want to bridge the audio channels and run the appropriate resistor for that.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Plus the amp is a huge game changer. I removed the old resistor and installed this puppy! Super easy and the sound is so loud now! Cheers!

[@SuperNicktendo]

I think I might tackle this now. I have had a broken DS light for a while. I think it needs a new battery though

[@ElricSowrd]

This is awesome, but the problem is the Aspect Ratio.

[@gletscha1]

Really interesting. Im still playing with the thought of doing some sort of macro mod with my ds. The thing that would interest me the most tho, is, would it be possible to make a gamecuber-controller-port mod on a ds lite?

[@MitsurugiW]

***WARNING*** OK. So I just did this mod from scratch with a new DS lite and using this flex cable. There is a potentially major pitfall that you didn't encounter since you had modded yours previously without the flex cable. If you are installing the new Macro glass screen cover you CANNOT WAIT until the very end. The flex cable lies under the top left corner of the LCD screen. If you press the new glass screen down onto it you can very easily damage the screen in that corner leaving big ugly dark splotches. This happened to me! I was mostly able to fix it by taking apart the LCD screen itself to relieve the pressure. This problem can also present itself when you go to clean your screen if you press too hard. I can think of a few ways to fix this issue so maybe they can include something in the future.

[@PelinalWhitestrake_]

[@kagejonin]

i'm curious how this may affect the battery. the original mod (single resistor) eats battery faster than normal ds lite usage in my tests.

[@takwu0]

it sounds like a great product... but, mmm, wouldnt it be even better if you can put a second speaker on the right side? especially since the x and y buttons are gone which frees up a lot of space. BTW, i think you misinformed a little bit when you said nintendo ds when u meant ds lite. but anyways, great video!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video. The only issue with putting a speaker in the other side could be it would block the leds. I’m sure there is a way to put another speaker. Cheers!

[@chrisblack7658]

I've looked through all the comments and it hasn't been answered yet, what is the battery life of this macro with the flex amp? @Macho Nacho Productions

[@SupremeGoldra]

Will the macro flex amp work on the DS Phat? (Impressive Video. Keep up the good mods)

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you! Unfortunately it won’t work for the Phat. It’s designed just for the Lite. Cheers!

[@travisedwards3543]

Why doesn't the game boy macro make use of the y and x buttons especially because the motherboard has them and it would have been simple and much better for gameplay?

[@wama307]

yeah.. its easy.. but again you must invest extra money into that board and wait 1 - 3 months for delivery an pay $16.00 shipping costs to germany fo example.. so its again, only for user in the US or users with enough extra money.

[@CirbyWeh]

Is there no way to have a GB Macro with two speakers? I am playing GBA games on my DS Light right now, and I really enjoy the stereo in Pkmn Emerald.

[@PoserBallin]

I'm running an iphone speaker that pumps volume up through the old ds card slot. Sounds better than the typical back facing solo speaker but I think I will likely upgrade it with this mod for the audio mixing in particular, once the kit is available again that is.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

It should be available very soon, if not by today. Cheers Ryan!

[@zenogoberti9003]

Nice vid. Wouldn't be more ergonomical to use the two upper buttons instead? Would it be possible?

[@stormevans6897]

I really wish I could get my flex amp to work.. I'm able to boot up my macro with it but my speakers get no sound. I've reflowed my own solder points already, tried a different speaker, Helder told me to do a continuity test to check the pcb for cold solder points but I don't have a multimeter. I guess what I could do next is try to carefully touch all the solder up on the entire pcb but I'm afraid I'll mess it up. Feels like a waste of money since I could've gotten what I'm currently getting out of my macro with a resistor that costs nothing without all of this hassle.

[@sojannedos]

Looking real good!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thanks Sojan!

[@jessragan6714]

The flex mod reminds me of a mod chip I installed in my GameCube a few years ago. Just drop it in place, drop solder into the holes indicated, and you're off to the races. How'd you manage to close the DS Lite without breaking the on/off switch? That became such a problem for me that I wound up soldering in a button to take its place.

[@demonzero677]

What I don't get is why not use a ribbon cable attachment to create something like this that doesn't require soldering at all? Personally I don't own a solderer and don't know anyone ho does to borrow one, but I'd love to do this to an OG DS.

[@hasiconejito]

If l wanted to use the original shell and make a Gameboy Macro Neon with an LED and an acrylic tube where would you have to solder on the LED? Would you have to take the resistor off the Helder PCB and solder the LED in its place?

[@iaiaou]

Thanks for this great video? Big Fan. I made this mod, and I've noticed that it only works with a game inserted. It's not taking me to the main screen. Should I install the 330-ohm resistor? The flex amp takes place where the resistor was in past mods.

[@ch3rry833]

I can't believe they don't ship this to Italy but they do to Switzerland.. Do you know some other shop that sells this? I'm interested

Thanks Graham! So glad I was able to help you out! Cheers buddy!

[@nickbrick21]

Looks like this mod will be way easier than the amp boxy pixel sells as an add on with the gameboy macro I damaged all of the speaker ports and had to end up using the headphone jack port for the solder points. It worked fine but the amp remains on unless you disconnect the dummy headphone jack that must be inserted to allow power through the amp.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Yup, it is way easier

[@CptFreemanC17]

You’re a good friend!

[@CptFreemanC17]

​@@MachoNachoProductions I try :) Question, semi unrelated to this video. I've noticed in a lot of your videos you use a syringe based liquid flux for your major solder joints. What brand of Flux do you use? Also, what are your techniques for soldering? your joints come out super clean and neat every time, and I notice either my solder doesn't always get to the pad properly for a joint. I'm curious on what you do to avoid all of that :)

[@LakeParkerYT]

Great video as always Tito! I think I'm gonna have to attempt the macro mod for a friend's birthday gift, I'm sure they'll love it! I was wondering, I had been poking around looking for usb c mods for the gameboy color to compliment the new ips q5 osd isp kit, but I haven't found any dedicated guides or commonly done mods for it. Do you have any thoughts on a usb c mod for the gbc?

[@MachoNachoProductions]

That would make an amazing gift! You are a great friend! I am thinking we will see a usb-c rechargeable mod for the gbc in the near future! Stay tuned!!

[@trevorbalbini3628]

I normally like your vids

[@allenslucher8555]

Great video! new sub for me! Just to add as a pretty small downer to the mod, if you don't line the PCB up the first time, it looks like that PCB could only handle one or two fixes with an iron. Again its a very small down, and mostly for beginners to worry about. Would the full manufactured version handle the heat better??

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you so much for the sub Allen! The flex pcb handles heat pretty well. Also good to make sure the iron temp is not too high since these are small components. The full production version will be very similar to this one. Cheers!

[@zackm9910]

How can you tell the difference between a clone and an original switch speaker? I purchased one and was going off the numbers on the back of the speaker, but the ones I received were different and a clone. The toughest part of this mod is getting all of the pieces together from multiple places.

[@DavinWhite]

I have a question, could you do this mod and combine it with the Rhotronix NDSTV V3.45 to have a Gameboy Macro/Single Screen DS with TV out? or is there something that conflicts and would lead to some compromise or otherwise completely prevent the combo? Maybe you could use you contacts to suggest to Rhotronix, Boxy Pixel and Helder to all work together to make a combo mod that works together and has a face plate explicitly designed to make it easier to fit all the components inside (and maybe even allow for a dedicated video out port/s, I did see on Twitter that Rhotronix was looking into HDMI output options)
