Why do we have to keep bringing up the whole "Switch Fire'' thing?

[@monetary687]

You abandoned the perfect pickup challenge

[@AtlasBloodfyre]

Bro, why did you use THAT to pry the battery out?! (I think that is what you were doing). Use a little PLASTIC tool next try man lol.

[@GAMERFREAK13009]

You must live with your mistake....

[@WulffDen]

you mean your legacy?

[@OhSoTiredMan]

Because you need ifixit sponsorship.

[@keyholes]

Wood proudly saying "I made this, I made this!" made my little heart happy. This whole video was a gift.

[@pulseofme6884]

Sounds like me when I finish taking the world's biggest shit

[@ramrodbldm9876]

You are g @ y

[@LegendOfAustyn]

Best Wulffden video ever. Petition to have Bob guide his friends and family modding various devices

[@Skipti_LLC]

Wood's half-Brooklynite, half-Aussie accent is adorable. I swear he pronounces "solder" 3 different ways

[@ramrodbldm9876]

You are sus

[@timseyer6769]

I'm curious what the ambient temperature in that room was, with wood sitting there with a beanie and a thick jacket and Bob sporting a skimpy t shirt

[@bobbytaylor6363]

Wood is from Austrailia so probably colder in the states than people acclimated to the weather. I grew up in Wisonsin and lived in Arizona for a year in my early 20's during the summer it would reach 125 F and the winters got as "low" as 75 F and I'd be outside with a hat and jacket. Our bodies are weird.

[@mylenijpema3723]

This video made me wish for a friend like Bob who would guide me through a process like this and take over a step if my two left hands are too clumsy to get it done. Lovely video of my two favorite youtubers :)

[@SwordofAccension]

This video was F'ing awesome. The dynamic these two have together is wonderful. It's like they have been friends for a lifetime even though they just started hanging out like a year ago or something like that.

[@Tron08]

For speaker issues, first order of business is replacing the 20+ year old capacitor in the audio circuit. Also hitting the headphone jack with some isopropyl alcohol because there's a mechanical switch in there that can get dirty. If it's still too quiet (the GBC is pretty quiet relatively) there are audio amp options out there to pump up the volume.

[@WulffDen]

Yeah i think the capacitor will fix mine. I replaced the speaker with a real game boy color speaker after this video, I'm just waiting for the new capacitor to come cause I broke the one I ordered for the video lol

[@ApexOT]

@@WulffDen Keep us updated.

[@calinguga]

a replacement speaker should have the same impedance, usual values are 4 and 8 ohms. i'd hazard to guess the switch speaker was higher than the gb.

[@chrisbrooks5240]

i love these videos , the concept of a tutorial following the tutorial honestly really helps me do it myself because I get the commentary side that you dont get out of the tutorial scripts so please keep them up!

[@LionFeldman]

1:41 ahh yes the classic metal tweezers in the battery

[@leo-ub6nb]

Bob helping Wood with the soldering was the equivalent of the clay scene in Ghost.

[@gamergod9182]

for the future, you wanna get some solder flux. it makes the whole process *so much* easier. just remember to clean off the residue with IPA afterwards.

[@WulffDen]

yeah i learned to start using that recently. we were using it it just wasn't on the cut

[@blasstois]

Especially using a flux pen for any of the micro soldering

[@Venison_0904]

Niiiiice! Literally just finished my GBC mod; IPS screen (with the colour changing logo), new shell, buttons, membranes, new speaker and amplifier to get louder sound out of it, as well as a rechargeable battery mod too :) Also done a fully modded Game Gear too!! Loving the retro stuff!!

[@martinezeli13]

Great video. I'm also loving all the colabs with you and Wood. You're killing it Bahb

[@L319HV]

Love how you keep things fresh man. The mix of switch, retro and modding content is great.

[@obviouslygregg]

I love that you guys live close to each other now, makes both channels better and the Nontendo Podcast even better

[@Brendan945]

I love everything about the two of you together.

[@wolfiemuse]

What a FANTASTIC video. Please have Wood do these things more. It’s INCREDIBLE. Love the vibe. Love you two sm

[@notagamer8782]

The capacitor you put in with the speaker is going to act like a filter. It’ll filter out noise at some frequency. You need to match the impedance of the old speaker to get it to work like the old one. Else you have to add additional circuitry and power to correctly power the switch speaker

[@awright18]

Hey Bob and Wood, I absolutely adored this video. It was super fun, well produced, loved the narration bits and even the ad. Maybe I'm just having a good day, but this made me really happy watching this. Thanks guys! Next up Nontendo podcast

[@jacytodd]

Excellent video! Anything with you and Wood is just so much fun!

[@thepersonarider0972]

You 2 are literally the dynamic duo when it comes to Nintendo stuff I love you both keep up the great work 👏

[@DavideNastri]

You are the two people that I love the most for gaming related content. Hurra, amazing work!

[@fernestar]

Really like this format, great video

[@DonWeaselYeehawEdition]

Idk why, Wood in a beanie feels like a completely new character

[@cameronlawrence970]

Didn't realize how much I needed this youtuber duo...pls do more colabs

[@jomatuazon]

Lmao i cannot believe the chemistry between these two. Made to make collabs forever. Great video!

[@sebastianrodriguez8692]

The best crossover ever. Amazing🔥🔥🔥

[@cmac8722]

it's always good to see Bob and Wood make videos together, so much chemistry!! Good friends are hard to find.

[@CVNTGETENOUGH]

Your "dumb" comedy is what I love about your videos. I crack up every time!

[@AAAGalaxy]

Amazing content, I never wanted a game boy before but now I need to get one and try to mod it

[@Javisflip_]

Modded a GBC and GBA several months ago with better screens, glass lens, rechargeable usb c battery and got an everdrive, I’ve loved it! It’s pretty easy

[@williamfrieden1]

Great video, nice as always, keep it up!

[@EastOfEden96]

Bully Wood for abandoning his perfect pickup challenge

[@dominicflick1225]

Love the way this video was put together ! Really good job, the cut aways to Bob and Wood on their thoughts/explanations about what was going on in the video was a really nice touch. Also, a really entertaining video. -First time commenter, long time subscriber

[@codyjaymz]

This video was sick, great job dudes!

[@mockier]

This was very cool. Thanks for getting Wood as whether it worked or not it would be funny to watch :)

this is sooooo fucking wholesome and i needed that today. love you guys

[@inspica380]

I'm a knife guy too and that's a pretty cool looking knife you've got next to you. I'm a bladesmith and it looks like one I've recently made.

[@SuperNerdAdamsGarage]

Plot twist: he got the one you just made 😱

[@GiSWiG]

I had just finished modding a GBA with the Minish Cap shell and IPS screen but I already had a GBA that needed a good shell. I went to start doing a GBC with the original GB color shell/buttons but after adding up the price for all the parts and a decent GBC on ebay, I ended up buying a prebuilt one for around $180. If only the Analogue Pockets weren't back-ordered until sometime 2023...

[@Sadistichippo]

Okay mister wulff you convinced me, I’ll subscribe to your podcast the banter is just to good to resist any longer.

[@TheHelium999]

simply love you too and the energy that goes between you :) thanks for the vid!

[@bananaking1288]

For anyone doing this mod the black tab that’s below the tch pad IS the touch sensor no need to solder a seperate touch sensor on…also for the low volume clean the volume wheel with some 99% ipa and replace all the capacitors on the motherboard and if your going that far may aswell pick up a funny playing speaker replacement 👍👍

[@btc16]

That kiss to the screen 🤌

[@Aaron.Jackson]

Ok this needs to be a series! Bob mods, with a different guest each time! Pleeeeeeeese!

[@jieelyuu]

You do have a very good soldering iron. That’s my favorite soldering iron: looks super cute and works very well

[@matthewlukens6780]

Behind the scenes intimate bro time, while Wood learns to SOULEDER :)

[@Charsept]

I love the no-solder mods people are making now 👌

[@smithincanton]

LOL I love that he pulled up Tido's video

[@TomGreen99]

Good morning Bob. ☕

[@MrLinkDay]

The best bromance in youtube for sure.

[@deckum23]

I got all the bits and bobs in a box waiting to be assembled into my dream gba, ips 2 screen, speaker mod with amp, capacitor replacements clicky bumper switches, its gonna be great.

[@Ahkhira]

I really, really like this mod. I'm currently working on a GBA mod. I hope it comes out as well as yours did.

[@bdiddy1138]

Flux would make your soldering so much easier, it helps the solder to flow ✌️ just need to clean with IPA after, fun to watch you guys work through this tho 👍

[@skepticaltile]

Wulff I wanted to buy your mousepad so badly but ended up buying a berserk mousepad instead. I'll probably end up buying yours eventually anyway for a second desk or something because of how awesome it is

[@OtakuSam96]

Nontendo gbc looks awesome!!

[@ItsAMeErick]

When I modded mine the soldering was not that bad, my funny playing screen didn't come with the lense attached like the new ones do. I had to try and line it up right and there were no instructions I could find. Overall turned out great and I will be doing it again.

[@OhSoTiredMan]

God damn bots

[@valegory]

If you have an old DS Lite kicking around those speakers tend to be what people replace the GBC speaker with. They tend to die less often and can reach similar volume levels.

[@RetroWolf13]

Great job

[@Yeshuah6]

Wouldn't say mod but i did put a new shell on my gba sp. The experience was pretty fun.

[@numberoneappgames]

The shhhh cracked me up. Zelder.

[@plasticsoldier234]

2:24 two types in every relationship. One that is in a t shirt, the other is all bundled up and still freezing lol

[@technick_mods]

You guys should look into getting some shells UV printed with the logo. I do it quite often for my own gameboys that I sell and the quality is always great

[@eeveeblazelol]

dont forget when wood tried to shell swap and cut a ribbon cable!

[@rlock118]

We all have a friend like Wood!! When left alone something or someone might get hurt!!

Shoutout to the Macho Nacho cameo when they're messing with the screen settings!

They are so cute together modding a gameboy,,,ganbatte you two ✌️😂

[@shadow306k]

This feels like a reality TV episode and I am all about that. Perhaps a new short series?

[@Panda_Biscuits]

I always love your videos! This is probably a dumb question, but do you have to put a plastic ring in these to prevent backlight bleed?

[@snowjack101]

3:03 it's like a little kid when you give them a gift

[@ihavenoclue9756]

Lol at that face flip smooch

[@Mobik_]

Macho Nacho mods are AMAZING

[@VOST0K]

Just one time when Bob and Wood are playfully bickering, I want to see Bob start screaming like he's going Super Saiyan to see the freaked out look on Wood's face 😂

[@Jer.Levesque]

I literally rewatched half of this to find out where I could get a Nontendo podcast sticker/ decal and found out Bob made it.

[@Jer.Levesque]

Any possibility we could get these??

[@LothlorBass]

This legitimately has to be my favorite Gameboy mod I’ve ever seen. If it had a purple shell it would be S Tier

[@albertopaino]

the capacitor that deals with the audio power is actually the one above the speaker (the middle one in terms of size) 😅

[@OhSoTiredMan]

Bots are now demanding massages?

[@bnpray2279]

I keep forgetting who's channel I watch and have to keep looking every minutes and two just to make sure is this Bob or Wood's video🤣

[@StuShipp]

this seemed like such an adorable little bromance situation lol

[@Fortwaba]

Lol Macho Nacho in the background.

[@ibapreppie]

YOu have good soldering skills. Pretty easy. Hardest part is getting the mods at a reasonable price.

[@AwesomeNbeastMo]

i kinda want to do this with my buddy now

[@CommunityGuidelineViolation]

Your audio quietness is probably related to the impedance of the speakers. The switch speakers may have a higher impedance meaning they draw less current and therefore can't produce the same volumes

[@supergenius1011]

Great vid Bob

[@seanshaffer7163]

I would like to see you make one like that with that screen but it has a Bluetooth connection to it so you can use wireless headphones and the battery is bigger more power so the speaker works like it supposed to
