[@TheRetroFuture]

Only the highest quality skills on The Retro Future.

[@YOUTUBEBOYREAL]

3:42 I know how you feel man

[@maxibash]

Don't you love it when you think you're finally done reassembling a Game Boy unit *and then forget to put back the on-off switch.*

[@cesar122111]

HAHAHAHA the part with the power button, Glad i'm not the only one forgetting to put stuff back into place HAHHAHAH

[@TheRetroFuture]

Haha, i do it too often!

[@sjm4306]

That moment when you realize that you have a power switch and three screws left over after you've put something back together.

[@itsagingersnap]

My very first gameboy color shell swap I misplaced the power button like six times 🤣

[@MCRoadk1ll]

Why not get those replacement screens and stickers from aliexpress, great stuff 👍

[@luke27luis]

9:30 - Yep, that happened several times to mee too :D Great job as always man, looking forward to that exclusive project with the gameboy light :)

[@Tatakaus]

could you please put a link to the replacement screen supplier into the link description?

[@Sylvenight]

Ok here is gameboy pocket all together.. ahhh forgot the power button

[@Floppybot]

Thank you for these! You give me confidence in taking apart my childhood GB Light for a much-needed deep scrub

[@gaspare4344]

How do you only have 2000 subscribers? You deserve way more.

[@TheRetroFuture]

Thanks man!

[@gaspare4344]

You don't need to thank me! Your videos are awsome, i really don't understand why you only have this much subscribers, and thanks for answering my comment!

[@FirstWizardZorander]

Well, here's one more now :)

[@comradeurod9805]

Vaffa. Wow. He got 7k in 2 Months

[@mk3gtidriver]

Always cool to watch your work, keep the content coming.

[@TheRetroFuture]

Cheers bro! Appreciate it!

[@jackvenn3392]

The Retro Future would you ever sell any of these?

[@Moose2803]

nice video, good music. But whats the name of the song at 9:00?

[@tristankx]

damn, watching you fix gameboys is satisfying af

[@radiorob7543]

Can you tell us more about your The Retro Future cart?

[@Angultra]

Where'd you get the cool plastic cases at 0:40?

[@Mobin92]

You can buy the screen lens and stickers for like 2$ from aliexpress incl. shipping...

[@X-RAGE]

At 4:12, this gameboy seems to be the earliest revision of the motherboard, without led

[@Souljapipe]

Dude I got a gameboy pocket that wasn't supposed to turn on, turned on as soon as I put the batteries in, awesome video!!

[@chibibobo]

I have a gbp which turns on when plugged in but not with batteries, how did you fix yours?

[@redfive8075]

It's really great that you bring back these systems for another generation to enjoy.

[@EJayNine]

great video bro, you've got me curious about the gold pocket

[@TheRetroFuture]

Going to try do it this afternoon, video tomorrow maybe. Might be next weekend!

[@andrewhall1008]

hi I've noticed that there are versions of this off grey Gameboy for sale with a power light. Do you know what the difference is between that and the ones you have here?

[@TheRetroFuture]

Yeah the gbp was released without the power LED, and due to popular demand from the buyers, they where later released with power LEDs, so without are older, with are newer.

[@glitchedmac]

would you mind listing the tools and cleaning supplies you used in this video?

[@TheRetroFuture]

I use Mr. Sheen multi surface cleaner, and a tool kit from Amazon which is discontinued..

[@SumDumGy]

Google is your friend and would know better than he what is available for purchase in the U.S. The answer is no.

[@clementmoudubulbe5427]

What is this white cartridge?

[@Garret_DMG]

You should make a zombie gameboy pocket with busted parts but fully functional that’d be cool 😆

[@Sigel110]

Hi! Where did you get those cases for your gameboy pockets?

[@TheRetroFuture]

Sigel110 ebay!

[@SirSaltlas]

Noticed you were listening to Biffy Clyro when you were cleaning the game boys, nice choice dude

[@Bolachas98]

Can't wait to see what you do to the gold one!

[@TheRetroFuture]

Should be fun!

[@shawzhang4498]

Hey E, where you get those boxes holding the gbp?

[@TheRetroFuture]

eBay, think they are European boxes.

[@benoit1335]

WOAW at the shell once cleaned!!!!

[@loganjorgensen]

Yep when I use my GB I always dip my hands in maple syrup and river silt before starting. :P

[@theslushygoldfish]

Million dollar question, are these available for purchase after you’ve refurbed them? Or do you sell them in a local store?

[@TheRetroFuture]

I dont usually sell them on, but sometimes i do on my facebook page!

[@Timmymantwo]

Sorry I'm super late, I fell asleep and work late. Always love your videos Elliot they are awesome. this one is so pleasing

[@TheRetroFuture]

It's cool man! Thanks.

[@1103bingo]

When buying from japan did you have to pay import fees?

[@TheRetroFuture]

I didnt actually.

[@1103bingo]

Awesome, hope i can be as lucky, top video btw.

[@Suedeash]

Are Pockets worth it? I absolutely love regular DMGs, my holy grail has got to be a gold GB light

[@TheRetroFuture]

Awesome man! I like pockets, they are my favourite to fix. In saying that I have a DMG on the way - Spoilers!

[@Suedeash]

The Retro Future Awesome!

[@Mitri_the_teifling]

What kind of screw driver are you using?

[@TheRetroFuture]

A micro set from amazon.

[@FirstWizardZorander]

Some day I hope I'll meet someone who loves me as much as you do Game Boys. Keep up the great work! Immensely satisfying to watch.

[@TheRetroFuture]

Well.... uh.. thanks - sure you will!

[@alistaircaskie5338]

Awesome way to save gameboy's! Really nice job mate👍👍👍

[@TheRetroFuture]

Thanks man!

[@k.haziq7212]

This is my first game console 👍🏻 and the game is pkmn red

[@jooniethebest3709]

Me too, except mine was a Gameboy color

[@georgedwaller]

That cheeky CK flash 😂😂

[@daniellikahong]

I like your soundtracks and the videos you make, where do you took the soundtrack from?

[@TheRetroFuture]

Link in the description!

[@robertandruw7647]

Nice rebuild . Now you have 3 perfect condition gameboys

[@TheRetroFuture]

Yeah, thanks man!

[@Demonanimator]

Holy shit! I didn't know they made those translucent cases for the Pocket. How much those run you?

[@TheRetroFuture]

I've seen them go for about £10 each, I have gotten mine with consoles.

[@SumDumGy]

They seem to be hard to come by. I figured it was a readily available aftermarket option. Haven't found any.

[@kbbbb7]

Love the music! Sounding great!

[@nicholasarthur277]

Congrats on 1,700 subs!!

[@TheRetroFuture]

Cheers buddy!

[@dylanmcintyre0502]

awww JELLY I love the DMG GB pocket system and you have 4!!!!!!!!!!

[@iulianispas8634]

If all work why you make just one ?

[@Suedeash]

Also awesome video! They turned out amazingly

[@VivSlakes]

oh boy, kinda reminds me of the n64 controllers from my gf, those things where dirty as hell, ended up putting the plastic parts in the dishwasher

[@DreamDaddie]

Whoa, only 1700 subs. Watching now while Elliot is now at 484K. Trippy.

[@bruhmandude555]

You should retro bright the plastic to get a orignal color

[@TheRetroFuture]

Its a good suggestion Riley, i may try get my hands on some.

[@bruhmandude555]

If you want a the best known way the 8 bit guy did a video recently on it

[@triforcejake8421]

YESSSSSS NEW RETRO FUTURE VIDEO

[@TheRetroFuture]

Ah cheers man!

[@triforcejake8421]

The Retro Future Thanks For Replying! Can You Do An NES?

[@TheRetroFuture]

I may try and do a NES at some point, haven't really thought about branching out, so might do that.

[@sueindublin]

The Retro Future how did you make your own game for testing?

[@TheRetroFuture]

Tuber Da King friend of mine made it for me!

[@flintax1553]

Lol we can see a reflection of his face in the gameboy

[@soothsthere6824]

so cool how people still like Gameboys I have 2 gba sp and I got a other one from eBay it's coming to :)

[@TheRetroFuture]

Awesome!

[@TechThatYT]

I didn't even realize you only had 12k subs until this video. You seem like a guy who has a couple hundred thousand!

[@TheRetroFuture]

Thanks man! This is an old one! Did a new one on my channel a few days ago!

[@TechThatYT]

The Retro Future thanks I saw that one. I like your work keep it up

[@chocoladereep3293]

Didnt get notified but i am here early! Better make a joke... The Virtual Boy

[@TheRetroFuture]

HAHA!

[@chocoladereep3293]

The Retro Future by the way, you know if the d-pad on the pokemon mini is the same as the one on the gameboy, and if you like you could maybe refurbish one?

[@neotil]

You should build a game boi, that would definately be a good meme

[@TheRetroFuture]

Haha

[@ChrisMX9]

Everything is still awesome as always ! the editing , the repair , Everything :D just a question can you sell me a spear screen for game boy pocket ? I don't care if it's burned as long as it doesn't have a black spot on the middle of the screen like mine has :/

[@TheRetroFuture]

Cheers man! Glad to see you're still with me on this journey! I don't have any spare for sale at the moment, if I do I'll be selling them on the Facebook page in the description!

[@ChrisMX9]

The Retro Future Ok thank's :D

[@ChrisMX9]

The Retro Future when I click the link in the description it tells me : " The desired page can not be found "

[@chris_gbc_maldonado6442]

Love you vids man I'm trying to make vids like your but I don't have the tools and I can't get gameboys that much I only have 2 gameboys

[@TheRetroFuture]

I'm sure they would be great, let me know if you ever want me to check out a video.

[@WebCamCartmell]

[@TheRetroFuture]

[@SlothyWoffy]

Hi pal. I'll need to send you something faulty sometime

[@TheRetroFuture]

That could be cool man, depends if it's a fixable fault otherwise I would feel bad not being able to make a video on it.

[@JBlizzyFan]

Have you ever thought about selling some refurbished game boys? i'd be all over that

[@TheRetroFuture]

JBlizzyFan - I have sold a few, I sell them on the Facebook page in the description.

[@JBlizzyFan]

Thanks! Btw, the link to the FB page doesn't work

[@pieta9097]

[@TheRetroFuture]

Hey man!

[@YOUTUBEBOYREAL]

Early in the morning? Or early to the video?

[@sjm4306]

first!!!

[@TheRetroFuture]

Haha!

[@Shelly-il7rq]

Second

[@TikusTakusen]

last!

[@someonespecial1329]

I always wondered... Why do some Gameboys show the Nintendo logo as full black blocks?

[@TheRetroFuture]

It means there is no cart installed!
