[@TknWhyBoy]

My wife bought me a custom gba for Christmas a few years back. It has the lcd screen, Bluetooth for sound, recharger battery and the mega drive with 32 gb sd card. I loaded it with thousands of games. It’s a Nintendo switch themed with Pokémon sword colors. (Grey and pink) I get asked by everyone when I play it. Lol it’s truly the best fit for my hands and the sounds bring me back. I’m a 34 year old man with 3 kids and still play the old SNES classics. Best gift ever!

[@ramrodbldm9876]

My husband got me something similar. I’m still going back to old final fantasy games. Especially FF tactics. Where I basically learned how to read and still miss the story.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

That build looks amazing Bob! Thank you for the shout out brother! Great solution for the L and R triggers

[@realtayo42]

This handheld modding series is going to some interesting places. Kinda makes me want to mod an old gameboy and start playing again!

Watching Bob destroy something every time he mods a device makes me feel so much better about my own meager modding skills! Thanks for the entertainment, Bob!! 😂

[@sh0shin]

I also preferred the OG GBA form factor! GBA SP was cool though, especially the last iteration where the screen didn't look like shit.

[@idkwhattohaveasausername5828]

The rechargeable battery was a crazy good improvement as well.

[@PachecoAdventures]

I love my SP but it’s funny that all I have now is my GBA og and I will never part with it!

[@skycloud4802]

The original Gameboy Advance is so easy to mod, even back then. There were external battery packs that could be bought and easily be replaced by anyone.

[@joejordan3603]

Agreed it was far more comfortable.

[@kang6914]

I remember not even understanding the concept of the new screen as a kid. I had a GBA SP 001 version and my friend had a GBA SP 101 version and I never understood why his screen looked so much brighter and more vibrant than mines. I actually thought it had more to do with the colors than the actual brightness for some reason. I was about 10 year old when I got my first GBA SP

[@kevinmeville2631]

Attention all potential sponsors. This is the only damn channel I actually sit through the sponsor reel. That is not an exaggeration. The sponsored segments are top tier and worth more than whatever you may be paying for other KZbin sponsorships.

[@lewismatthews]

At 00:07 when that sweet, sweet Gameboy noise lined up nicely with the music... You crafty editing man Bob!

[@Hermocrypha]

My gameboy has A LOT done to it. Always brings joy to see someone sharing the hobby. Great Vids!

[@periodicbeast9994]

From one retro console enthusiast to another, there's actually a very tiny metal piece for the shoulder bumpers that you're missing and they're extremely difficult to keep in place when you're assembling the gameboy. Those are what actually give you that clicking feel that you were missing. It's like a very thin piece of metal that goes in a loop-de-loop like a roller coaster going upside down if that makes sense. I refurbished my cousin's old GBA after the screw mounts crumbled just because of how old it was so I got a new case for it so that's how I know.

[@nightwing179]

I believe that’s only for the gba sp. the original gba has a thin metal rectangle that allows the buttons to bounce back up. The spring does the same thing on the gba sp.

[@traversal6881]

​@@nightwing179Yep, that's an SP thang.

[@Dragonorder18]

Seeing people customizing retro handhelds is kinda awesome! I used to love some of the GBA's games. Like Kirby's Amazing mirror.

[@nomannic1]

You have great taste! Best Kirby game of all time 😁

[@zeikjt]

1:00 The screen looks a little offset. And the screen hole shaving seems to have left gaps underneath the top edges of the screen cover. Can't wait to see what happened!

[@FearHeldDear5859]

he says that in the video around 8 min in

[@graefx]

100% agree on the form factor. OG GBA, PSP that's all my jam. I'll have to try this with a case for the IPS 3 display

[@jacksammons3632]

Bob ur great - ur personality is the ultimate mod. To sponsors: support this guy and we will support u.

[@AmandaRogersarock1988]

Same here, Bob! It's just all nostalgia for me -- I saved up my cash and bought this as my first pre-teen console. Followed all of the pre-release drops and was soooo pumped to play Mario Kart on this. It was just a magical time with the GBA. :)

[@coxinigocoxi]

I'm glad the membrane workaround worked for L and R. Nice job, really nice case!

[@therunawaykid6523]

Insane in the membrane

[@megaplexXxHD]

so are we just not gonna talk about the screen beeing slightly off inside that case?

Making a custom gameboy sounds like a nice project for the weekend.

[@danpatrick7176]

Love the little touches in this editing. Also love the fusion music

[@poniesheartcocaine]

I was thinking it was from fusion, because I was just playing it. But I really want to figure out which part of the OST is it from.

Thank you for putting in metroid ost in the beginning of the video. It brought back some good memories.

[@GammaRayven]

That opening scene with the video feels like a scene that will appear in a movie in a few years about using old archaic technology to defeat an AI. Like someone left a message behind on this GBA with a clue for where to go next.

Man, the work he put in to get the recording onto a GBA, then make it immediately start upon starting without going through a menu JUST so we can have an interesting start to a video with a nice transition into the clip. Thats a lot of work for less than 1 minute of video. Huge probs, that was awesome!

[@paigelove2666]

Using that Fusion track for so much of the video is so good

[@koffeetechshow]

Fairly certain i came across this video over about a year ago when you first released it, immediately went online and did metal shells, Usb-C and upgraded display on my gameboy advance i had sitting in a storage box in my office and advance SP i left at my parents 😂 now i play them so much more. Gameboy advance was WAYYYYY easier than the SP, mainly bc of the hinges. That being said i love these mods

Ad revenue and sponsorships as well as other deals I've noticed have been a constant talking point by a lot of youtubers and people who own sites. I've heard a lot saying ad revenue is down by 60-80% and sponsorship deals are a lot less frequent, so hopefully you can find one that sticks around to sponsor you more frequently, Wulff!

Oh man the theme from AQA sector in Metroid Fusion, what a vibe. Still my favourite theme in all of Metroid.

At 10:09 you can see the battery indicator flash back and forth between green and red. I put a GBA into a new (plastic) case and it also does this. It happens when you push on the case. I’m sure there’s a way to fix it but it makes me feel better that Bob also appears to have this issue.

[@MusicSkypirate]

Have my own similar custom but with a Crystal Purple shell from RetroSix. As a daily driver for Gameboy and Advance games is really nice. Normally just whip it out on the London underground/subway and play. Not too worried about ruining it as the case is reasonably cheap and I just pop back into a sock to keep it safe. It's odd we have so many emulation options now but I still find myself going back to the consoles with the original shape/feel. Maybe it's just nostalgia lol.

[@vwhooligan59]

As much as I like the boxy pixel shells, I hesitate in using one since I eventually want to try adding Bluetooth audio to one of mine once I work out the logistics. Aside frome that, this GBA turned out super sweet!

Dat gameboi really do be PHAT doe This is the shape I grew up with, and while it looks the sickest, it is probably why I have carpal tunnel or just thumb issues. Racing games didn't figure out that acceleration should go on a trigger instead of a face button, so it ADVANCED my thumb into not being able to play Gadget Racers as much as I wanted to. GG's

[@noerodriguez8769]

I used the Macho Nacho video of their 3.0 IPS screen to mod my Gameboy advance. And I love it. Also, Funny Playing has a type c rechargeable battery pack that lights up a tiny LED light to let you know if it's charging, but it's only visible if you use a clear case like I did

[@towbazko]

The Charge Indicator Light is a little red light that shines through a peep hole next to the C port; it turns blue on a full charge. I made this same build a few weeks ago and still waiting for the battery to die lol I’m over 20hours at least.

[@GiSWiG]

I have a GBA with the Funnyplaying screen and the Minish Cap case Macho Nacho featured in one of his videos. Love it. Of course now, many of the GBA/GB/GBC games I always wanted to play are now on Switch NSO. I got the GBA, GBA Player for GC, the EZ-Flash and was able to play Minish Cap and the Metroid GB/GBA games on the TV w/o emulation. Of course they look so good on the TV via NSO.

[@net_spider]

I have an original GBA that still works... not sure what to do with it at this point though. Kinda want to mod it like this one, but 1.) Don't really have the tools/know how to really do it myself and 2.) Even though I have a lot of my orignal cartidges... that really doesn't amount to much and getting my hands on ones that still work outside of that are kinda expensive.
