This AMOLED Game Boy Color is Amazing! // Q10 Retro Pixel Review

[@TakiUdon]

3/28 Update - Currently back in stock. They said they will add stock of missing shell colors over the next few days until they have 20 in total.

[@batzen21]

Do you know which Shells are compatibel? I want a clear one, but FP doesnt have one.

[@rodrigo53]

Hi Taki Do you know if this amoled screen is compatible with FunnyPlaying’s FPGA GBC motherboard?

[@HypocritesExposd]

Yeah I went back to my cart to purchase and it went up to $300. Sheesh.

[@agaseg]

Yes, the smart Chinese smelled the money and raised the price. We'll have to wait for the price to return. I wanted to take it too.

[@HypocritesExposd]

According to the product details, it is out of stock now and will be back in stock in 10 days.

[@novelezra]

Honestly, the novelty of the lit up Gameboy Color logo is cool enough

[@Madblaster6]

Only 5 years ago there were no options. Now we’re at touch screen OLED screens. Amazing.

[@Kapi.23]

i remember cracking 2 original DMG's while doing the bivert mod a few years ago. It was a game changer at the time.

[@nusdogg]

10 years ago, many of us uses GBASP front light panels for GBA and GBC.

[@StrikeWarlock]

Competition breeds progress.

[@Fleshlight_Reviewer]

Thanks for the after burner settings 😅

[@Madblaster6]

@@Fleshlight_Reviewer ey yo, you mean on the Ally?

[@josephs2581]

I'd love to see this done for the GBA! I know there aren't really any 3:2 AMOLED displays but one can dream!

[@vandalest]

I'd like this on a GBA Advance SP model! The GBC screen is 4.0 x 4.4cm. GBA & SP is 4.1x 6.1cm. The Q10 original screen is 5.5 x 5.5cm and is mostly covered up to achieve the same size screen that is on GBC. If there is a existing product with OLED screen that is roughly between 4.1 x 6.1cm and 6.0 x 7.0cm, the GBA version could be made.

[@legendofswords]

@user-hz4fj5xw2u with 3d printing becoming more affordable and services to print open source boards to swap the old chips or hardware emulation (FPGBC ) there will always be a market for these types of modifications. I imported a DMG from Japan and it still works beautifully (replaced the old screen) like it was brand new. The hardware lasting is always a gamble but i think its pretty cool that these old systems still have the attention they do

[@kulilin3104]

Seeing your kid help you out on these rebuilds is awesome! I've been trying to get my 4yo interested in the modding I do. So far, she loves watching me work.

[@imothy]

this is what i've been waiting for for 20+ years! I always wanted an OLED screen on my gameboy since I heard about them back on the discovery channel in the 90's they had a show called "Beyond 2000" and they showcased OLED screens, but back then they were like $100,000 for even the smallest OLED screen!

[@killzoneliberation]

Can you find the Episode?😊

[@davidsucesso2419]

freaking awesome memory and now 50 dolars😊

[@thomashenden71]

Still no realistically usable flying cars, though… 😄

[@jonnyeh]

omg, it's about time there was an OLED mod!

[@Movie_Games]

OLED has been such a saving grace for retro games, which were programed to work with the low response times of 90's TVs and CRTs.

[@jonathansacci2325]

I have 2 GBC's I need to mod. This came at the PERFECT TIME!!!

[@Juicetyn]

naww, so cute your lil kid helping you! My son is only 2, can't wait till he's old enough to help me with these kind of projects :). Ordered a kit btw, looks great!

[@Anthestudios]

Legendary. I hope they bring this out for GBA as well. It's just insane!

[@JustinGrill564]

I'm currently rebuilding my original GB Color. It was the Atomic Purple. Preserving the original case and screen, and bought an Atomic Green case, this OLED screen, new capacitors and fuses, new louder, clearer speaker, audio amp, clean power converter, and converting it to a USB-C rechargeable lithium battery pack. No more AA batteries being replaced after a couple weeks.

[@mgproductions2007]

How did you preserve the original case? Doesn't the case have to be trimmed to fit the OLED?

[@JoeBleeps]

Oh this really does look lovely. I always love seeing the new stuff that you share on here!

[@QuietMisdreavus]

I did a q5 screen mod last year and i'm really happy with it, but this looks amazing! Thanks for calling this out!

[@JulienBertozzi]

I've got a q5 too and I find the lack of frame blending really frustrating

[@newpath1tech]

Ordered this as soon as I saw this vid- got delivered 2 days ago…just set aside the time to complete the project and it turned out great 🙌🏾😭 and it was my very first time soldering with a solder kit I bought off Amazon

[@declangallagher1448]

Just ordered! Thank you!

[@jeff____]

Legend says that if you put this screen on a fpgbc it evolves into an analogue pocket

[@ShamanNoodles]

Does it work on the fpgbc?

[@jeff____]

@@ShamanNoodles probably not I doubt it

[@dnj79]

Holy. I've been looking into emu devices but I'm definitely gonna look into a new screen for my gbc as well. Looks so clean.

[@Syx7h]

finally. I've been waiting for an oled display in a handheld. now just get one of these in a gameboy pocket and a GBA and I'll be satisfied

[@Specterno1]

25 years ago.... that hit hard, square in the gut. I remember going to my cousins house, seeing his for the first time.... 25 freaking years ago

[@jumpman93LP]

i'm so happy i ordered one just after seeing your video. it's probably the best mod i've ever made to a game boy. it's wort it for the light up logo alone! i hope something like this will be released for the advance someday.

[@retinoic]

Just installed this and it’s amazing.

[@Sir_Uncle_Ned]

The logo lighting sold it for me. Holy crap that is amazing!

[@LPcrazy_88]

Incredibly surprising that this OLED screen is actually more power efficient by 2 whole hours vs an IPS. I especially like how this mod sits in a see through case since the FunnyPlaying one is pretty intense with the large jut out covered in copper shielding.

[@pocketfullofsouls]

Thank you for this. Pretty complete video and I love the comparison part. Awesome

[@Hectorszenshopedc]

that's amazing. I love the GameBoy Color.. I had the purple one and I donated it to a young child with a broken home

[@dcsteele]

Lil engineer is my parenting goals

[@StrikeWarlock]

They'll love it, until Trigonometry gets involved.

[@UpStart5]

Love everything about this. Now we just need screens for the GBA and SP!

[@Seffyzero]

I can't believe you cut the footage at 1:33 JUST BEFORE you got the tetris, lol. That really ruffles my OCD. ;) Love the video though, I'm definitely gonna buy this screen. It does appear to be out of stock currently on aliexpress, but it says they're getting in more soon.

[@user-bp5py6bh3g]

That's not OCD

[@blackstar-genX]

This looks amazingly beautiful.

[@EricEngel]

If this screen could work with that FPGA motherboard from FunnyPlaying, that would be an amazing build.

[@emmanuelvelasco2665]

I would love a kit like this for the GBA

[@fz96]

Will happen.

[@emmanuelvelasco2665]

@@fz96 hopefully soon! 🙏🏼

[@runnerup15]

Wow this is fantastic, it looks so good!

[@jeremy__hopkins]

Neat though if there was a board option for the NGPC, that'd be something special. Also like the idea of mixing this screen with a DMG + Super Gameboy and throwing it in a Hyperboy for a mini arcade kit. Also I really like the idea of the FPGBC but I'd be willing to pay extra for an FPGA option that supported multiple cores or at least the ones that make sense on a 1:1 AMOLED screen.

[@Amin_2k]

The Led logo blew my mind

[@NickBaysingar]

Looks excellent. I hope an AMOLED kit for the GBA hits the market in the near future as well.

[@arvs7356]

Thank goodness for this mod. When the Analogue Pocket came out (with the original price of $199) I almost bit the hook except that it was always sold out. Now they increased the price by $20, which is almost half the price of the kit. This makes more sense than the Analogue Pocket (provided that you already have a GBC).

[@techguy348]

I still wish the logo has the setting to where it looks like the colors of the actual Gameboy color logo

[@JimmyZeng]

Damn this is good, i hope funny playing could get this screen and use this on their next fpgbc revision.

[@batzen21]

But a FPGBA pls 😅

[@JittikMieger]

This looks awesome...! I just build a Funnyplaying FPGBC a couple of weeks ago. Seems I'll be building another GBC next month or so... :) Edit: seems like I am not building one... €352,- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!?

[@dunlopstarclipz]

Great walkthrough, got me hooked on an upgrade

[@SiddharthLh]

When the display controller has more power than the console

[@lexgoedert]

Recommend to cut a portion of the cart pin connectors and use the included protective film on them aswell in order to avoid shorting the screen. Managed to break my first Amoled Screen from HiSpeedio due to not cutting the cart pins

[@Dylan-p2u]

Absolutely beautiful display!

[@rodrigo53]

I think you should test screen burning with permanent ui. Great video.

[@AdrianDX]

I just wish we could get the Game Boy Color logo to light up with the appropriate colors for each letter🥲 But I’m super excited to have one of these kits on it’s way to me😄

[@keaton718]

AMOLED is cool, and Analogue Pocket's fake gridlines with 1660x1440 display is cool, but the original Color screen used a reflective LCD display. It could show colour pixels on the screen kind of floating against the transparent background of unactivated pixels in their default state, which produced a pretty unique and eye catching look. Modern LCD and OLED displays make every pixel look activated all the time.

[@JohnneyleeRollins]

Can you cover all the best clamshell devices?

[@CarpetBanana]

I'll do it for you 1) Ds Lite 2) New 3DS XL 3) GBA SP

[@leehardy2025]

A good list I would put DSi instead of Lite but presume you;ve put that for the GBA comapatability so definitely wouldn't argue @@CarpetBanana

[@Jaibuuuu]

3 missed opportunities: 1) individual colored characters for logo, 2) proper pixel grid, taking colors other than black, 3) color adjustment options for GB four-color games, just like mgb hispeedido mods do

[@Binary_Omlet]

Having a scrolling color effect on the GB logo would be so sick.

[@cppctek]

What an awesome mod !! I love it ❤

[@xImSiik]

4:45 small hand love to see your son helping you out

[@frostedbutts4340]

Yes he's making him work in a sweatshop cranking out gameboys, free labor!

[@enda0man]

7:25. The only thing that would make the light up logo even cooler is the option to control its brightness separately

[@sharzy7209]

This is such an amazing mod, I hope the GBA eventually gets its own OLED mod

[@sketchy0078]

I’m there with you on that one, an OLED panel for the original GBA would be perfection.

[@Svante]

Problem with some of these new screens, is that the refresh rate, doesn't match the one used by the original display, which leads to framedrops.

[@sv6k0a39]

What a time to be alive.

[@webbedshadow2601]

I don't care for GB or GBC games but a touch screen OLED screen of this size being available to buy is REALLY cool to me and this is an awesome use for it!! OLED really is the best it gets, If I ever get a Steam Deck OLED I'd love to run Dolphin on it and see how GameCube and Wii games look

[@mizukichan999]

imagine how awesome it will be when they start making amoled replacements for DS and 3DS models!

[@seanh2983]

We really need more transparent green handhelds.

[@XVa-uj8m]

It is like having a portable CRT screen. CRT level GBC for the win! No compromises. Hopefully a Game Gear AMOLED mod can be done. Same with Wonderswan.

[@cerilious]

Nice work growing more arms. Still a bit small, but I bet they're still growing.

[@RetroDaddyPH]

Unbeknownst to us, blackberry has helped so much of the retro gaming community with their displays. The original Miyoo Mini also uses blackberry displays. Can't wait for the retro handhelds using blackberry passport's display next (1440 x 1440) that would be super cool! 🤣

[@colemushel2450]

love these mods. I have my fingers crossed for some original 2ds shell and screen mods soon.

[@Luc.777]

My 1st gameboy was a limegreen gameboy color, so this transparent green backlit gbc is definitely my fave nostalgically. Tho i decided to just mod my bro's old pink GBA classic with a backlit screen, but this would be so tempting if i didn't do that a year ago

[@eternalbeing3339]

Very cool. The young child in me just came out. Talk about nostalgia.

[@ForeighHatch]

hey great video! just wondering if there was any word on the OLED switch lite mod? not trying to be impatient or rude, just wondering (:

[@TheOfficalAndI]

I wonder what's the definitive way to be playing retro titles up until snes/gba on a portable handheld. Having the best ergonomics and controls, an oled screen, good performance and audio. All in a nicely-sized formfactor too. There are a ton of retro handhelds, but I have no idea if there is one who gets all those basics just right.

[@cwbh10]

That power wire gauge is very small and you're likely going to get significant voltage drop on it. I'd definitely recommend using a thicker wire there..

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Hi, how's the quality of the transparent/clear shell and plastic button of the Hispeedo OLED package? Are the plastics good quality? ALso which transparent shell is the most stunning from Hispeedo? The clear royal blue, clear green, clear purple, clear light blue or another transparent color from Hispeedo? Thank you. God bless you.

8:08 - I prefer the one on the right. You're losing contrast / gradient with the one on the left. Especially noticeable on the the ship.

[@Noir1234]

Can't wait for a GBA version.

[@JezeusD]

That is such a beautiful mod.

[@sanctanox]

The best thing is the build in scanline effects. This kind of build in effects is important for future arcade cabinet repairs. If CRT monitors are dying there could be a LCD panel on the market specially for retro hardware with build in perfect crt effects so the original crt feelings will be preserved. I never understand why people play retro games with the pixel perfect option. On a CRT those old games looked WAY better. Even new games like N64 games look just horrible on a modern panel.

[@jierenzheng7670]

This is really cool, pity I never had a GBC before.

[@cssplayer91]

Dude, amoled is the perfect mod for gameboy screens. Low power consumption, brighter display, better color accuracy. This destroys all IPS mods we've had over the years!

[@Jojo_Tolentino]

Idk why but it feels weirdly wrong. It looks great. Fitting even. Maybe the way colors pop makes the content of some games look out of place. It’s like how some games for ds,3ds or psp looks very saturated when emulated on a better display because the color grading was adjusted for the OG screens.

[@Jojo_Tolentino]

Probably inaccuracy in color reproduction of some games shown in the video.

[@TravisNuttall]

I’m curious if this new kit fits the pre-cut shells for the older Q5 kit, there are a lot more shell color and design options for the Q5

[@TakiUdon]

It does

[@DNINETY3]

the best part is the light up logo 100%

[@1copyright]

Do these kits also fit into those fancy "DIY Gameboy color GBC Retro Pixel IPS screen 2.0 UV print custom CASE AND BOX" listing you find on ebay? I'm looking to put this kit into one of those nice UV pokemon shells and it comes with a nice box
