IPS-101, the Clone AGS-101 LCD Kit
HTML-код

- 2x integer scaling ("4 in 1" as they call it), IPS panel, original dimensions of the AGS-101 LCD. Sounds like it has everything.
Actually, it is pretty nice. It's kinda hard to spot since the only seller that I've found and confirmed seems to downplay what the kit actually is.
Speaking of, here is that seller (you want the "copy" or "clone" or "new version" or whatever they change the label to -- it should be the cheaper variant): www.aliexpress...
Here are some more pictures and close up images: imgur.com/a/er...
And finally, my measurements on power usage and brightness: drive.google.c...
Looks like retrogamerepairshop has started stocking these things: retrogamerepai...
Any thoughts on what I should do with this thing? It should work on any AGB with the standard AGS-101 adapters, any AGS-101, or even an AGS-001 with a voltage regulator. I'm leaning towards building out another AGS-001. Thoughts?
Oh and btw, it does not work with an AGS-001 any more than an AGS-101 LCD does: • Fake AGS-101 LCD in a ...
So cool, thanks for making a video on it. Might have to order one of these when I can afford it. Shame it doesn't work on GBC, but at least we have the other IPS kit. You need a metal spudger! I've probably opened close to 200 AGS-101 screens by now and the spudger I use makes it really fast and easy.
Oh, I have one. I just never even considered using it. Thanks lol ;)
This aftermarket screen is really peaking my curiosity. I may buy one eventually to try it out myself and see it in person.
Been seeing these for a while now. Labeled as 'New version' or 'Highlight version'. Good to finally see one in action, thanks.
Hey, I'm the lad that first posted about wanting to make a replacement ribbon for one of these. Great video! I suspected the technology was different (though that was obvious with a big honkin chip in the back) but it really surprised me that it has the same 4x scaling as the FP kits. If only they were cheaper!
These could be a really good alternative for those who don't want to worry about cutting their shells when upgrading to an ips
It makes sense for it to use the original 101 screen form factor, because you can use it with 101 boards (and possibly 001?), and I assume chinese warehouses have loads of three ribbon converters anyway, lol.
What you could test is how the screen behaves with PocketNES/NES Classic emulated titles, whether it's leasing artifacts behind like IPS V2 or not.
That said, I also saw those on AliExpress and they seemed cheaper than "regular" 101 ones, but still more expensive than IPS mod or the "one dead pixel" ones you can get on eBay. I thought of getting one along with 101 board to make a semi-original 101, but since it is not original... Well, I Hope the prices will go down after that virus outbreak passes
They probably dont ship with the “correct” ribbon cable so that not only can it be used with the AGS101, but so it can be used with either model of the original GBA via the right adapter
That's a very interesting screen. I still prefer the actual IPS mod but this look like a good alternative for someone looking to repair/upgrade an AGS-101 and can't solder. As long as the person is not worried about that crazy power drain of course. That was nearly double the 101 at full brightness. Add an old battery and a flash cart to that and you have a GBA that goes into red light after 30 minutes.
clearly these fakes/aftermarket IPS lcd look better than AGS 101 IMO. Me and my brother have put our AGS 101's against these funnyplaying/IPS lcds and we just cant believe how much more vibrant, better picture image, clarity, the image is just so crisp and the brightness/contrast is so much better. I get that there will be many that will still prefer the AGS 101, but i am never looking back. However this clone "Ags 101 " lcd really is an IPS fitted into AGS 101 shell, its beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
You have a link ?
I accidentally got a batch of these in recently
I wasn’t a fan of the bluish hue that they had
Did you notice this?
Can't say that I have. Mine looks fine to me.
I'm going to stick one in my AGS-101 no carving up the shell for me :D
I had to replace my GBA SP AGS-101 with this screen and it is amazing
It’s an AGS-101 converted to IPS basically
Here is a video showing the problem I described in the previous comment: ruclips.net/video/MVS-FnAvyco/видео.html
Pay attention to the 0:29 at F-Zero main menu, 1:08 when loading Zelda: ALTTP and 1:23 when loading the Zelda:ALTTP game. You can see part of the F-Zero map circuit on screen still.
This ghosting disappears after a few minutes... and is caused by flashing/flickering objects on screen.
Great find, its weird that a power cycle does not remove it. Something must happen to the pixels for a few minutes.
Can you compare this kit to the Funnyplaying IPS? I would be interested in color and motion blur
they look very similar to me but I will try and get them together soon
It seems to have the original screen size and not the slightly bigger IPS kit one, so there's that as well.
Any thoughts on what I should do with this thing? It should work on any AGB with the standard AGS-101 adapters, any AGS-101, or even an AGS-001 with a voltage regulator. I'm leaning towards building out another AGS-001. Thoughts?
I really think all of these options are great options, however, i am a big fan of AGB so i would say, make another cool gameboy advance lol ! but if you go with AGS SP then do that and the battery mod from OSHPark (which btw thank you, i just bought the PCB's :) )
This new "AGS-101" screen actually have a serious problem regarding flashing objects on screen. Try playing any circuit of F-Zero Maximum Velocity and you'll see and understand what happens after you load another circuit. The previous circuit map keeps flashing on screen (i.e. ghosting effect).
I wonder if you could maybe figure a solution for this problem.
it's not a problem, it's working as intended. Blame the game devs or even Nintendo.
This was a trick used by devs to make objects transparent on-screen. Since the pixel response time on OEM hardware is complete garbage, devs found it took fewer resources to just flash something on and off instead of making a transparent version.
@@makho Actually I'm talking about a weird ghosting that happens when something flashes too quickly, it persists flashing on screen for a few minutes even if you leave the game. It only happens with this specific model of the screen. Here are some pictures: imgur.com/a/uyYKKFO.
I tested both on an original GBA and a AGS-101 motherboard and both give the same results.
@@yannv95It looks like some burn in/ or ghosting but I don't know what it is specifically called. I have a TV that does this. Bright images leave behind a faint image that is really visable on black backgrounds.
Makho, I just got a donnor gba, I have one ags101 but its screen is chinese and there is a lot of interlacing, seems too run at like 30hz non progressive.
I want to mod this new one with one of this screens, should I get this one, or the funnyplaying v2.
Which one is better in this regards:
*4in1* *IPSv2*
*Brigtness:*
*BatteryLife:*
*Tearing:*
*EasyInstall:*
*ScreenSize:*
_Which one would you give points, please like so he can see._
Edit:
I have those mostly solved, but it'd be nice to confirm, still I read that you may do a video, in that case I will just wait, no need to answer here :)

@@makho Man... this comment, I didn't understand at first what that had to do with the screens I was asking for, but listen, you just helped me fix this gba I had long thought defective (didn't want to bother vendor since I thought it was not his fault but the screen's).
*You just SAVED my gba*
If at any moment in your life, you need something and I can provide, please just ask.
I do little utilities for streaming mainly, if you need something like a stream deck or a multicam/scene switcher or similar, or any program that you feel will make your life easier I am your man.
(I don't consider myself pro, so some really hard stuff may be out of my reach, but whatever I have/can do is yours)
What exact spec of wire should I order from AliExpress for gba sp ips v2 brightness mods and all other gameboy mods gauge and type etc. please I’m gonna order it from AliExpress I’d also like a soldier recommendation whatever is best idc to pay a little more for the wire or the solder and what’s the best flux? I appreciate any help thanks! Also have you tried the gba sp ips v2 laminated 10 level brightness screens? I bought two and they are amazing I think I like them better than the funnyplayin kits you have done they are very similar have no tearing issues or anything and they have brightness memory aside from the lense difference and the ribbon I think they are the sa me and the function is flawless I’ve probably put 60 hours on one SO GOOD! beat emerald and oracle of seasons on it with my everdrive gba x5 mini and even on a stock oem original blue hard cased battery I get 4+ hours on full brightness!
www.amazon.com/shop/voultar
and yes, I have played with that screen. Search my channel for a video I did on it.
makho found the video was it the one chip? I was curious why you picked then funnyplayin over all the others could you do a direct comparison between the two best screens on the market in your opinion and why you prefer the funny playin kit? I’m about to buy another and if the funnyplayin is better than the 10 level brightness one I had then idk lol that’d be hard to believe 😂

Hi Makho, is it right that this "clone" screen works ONLY on the GBA SP with original ags-101 motherboard? As far as I know this clone won't work plug 'n' play on the gbaSP with 001 motherboard, right?
I'd also like to know if this clone would works on the NO SP GBA . If I plug it into the 40 pin ribbon adapter I use for the original ags-101 screen I use on my GBA, what would happens? Did you try? I checked your videos but didn't find this mod.
like I said, it works just like an AGS-101 screen. ruclips.net/video/36OODPxYDCg/видео.html
I don't like the cable adapter thing, your are right, they could of just built in the adapter thing to begin with. I think they opted not to because they wanted to just make 1 lcd model, otherwise they would have to made 3 models : 1 for AGB 32 pin 1 for 40 pin and 1 for AGS. What is really nice is that little to no soldering is require. Now it makes me wonder how brightness control would work on a AGB though...
NIce! this clone screen is less battery consuming comparing to the "normal" IPS screen (funnypaying and one chip v2). I'm not sure if I can use it with the AGB (no SP) though. What do you think? I'm not really aware about all the milliamps / voltage ratio. but seems that 100 milliamps (clone consumig) is less than what you measured on the Funnyplaying screen (between 185-430 depend on brightness), but maybe is just because voltage on the GBA SP is not the same as on the GBA. Any advise?
You've asked three times now, if I keep going through my comments, am I going to find more?
@@makho Dude couldnt sleep thinking of this
Sounds like its raining outside, where i live, currently in my location its raining.
Same. Maybe we are close? coom over owo
impossible to sleep, 3:41 am and a new video comes out ... Haha, greetings from Argentina, I see it all.
PS: Could you try installing a usb c on a Game boy Micro? I lost my cable and I'm charging the battery with a TP4056 about 1 month ago haha
I would love an comparison between this fake 101, original 101 and bennven ips and funnyplaying ips.
Would be awesome. Also not only image but brightness and power usage.
Thanks for this video. Huge fan of your channel.
There is no bennvenn IPS mod and I already measured the power and brightness of all the other mods and added it to the spreadsheet linked in the description (just added the link since I forgot to earlier but it's been linked in a lot of my other videos)
@@makho sorry i was thinking of the one chip ips
But do you have this data gathered all in one somewhere? And which screen is your favorite?
I wonder if LCD IPS
If going to connect with GBA SP model AGS101 (mainboard AGT),
Do I have to connect the power cable that is attached to the Q12B point?
Because most of the videos Show only model AGS001 (mainboard AGS)
that need to connect the extension cable to point Q12B
(The AGS board has a circle blue chip under the Power button).
Thank you for who one andwer me.
The wire is for brightness control using the button on the game boy
Hey Makho would you happen to know if these lcd kits are compatible with overclocking? I have an AGS-101 with some ghosting issues but I want to fix that issue and overclock it as well. I think no other aftermarket IPS screens are compatible with overclocking. Thanks in advance!
I haven't tested it
Wow didn't know that those exist. Nice video like always.
So, in the end, do you recommend this kit to replace an oem AGS-101? I've got some ghosting I want to eliminate in my SP. RGRS has them now in stock, not so sure if it's worth it, seeing as the price of an FP kit is the same! I like the idea of it being a drop-in with no soldering required though. What do you think?
For an AGS-101 console, yeah. For an AGB console, the regular IPS kit is the better buy.
i bought one of these when my 101 screen ribbon cable got ripped from opening and closing too many times, havent fount the time to do micro soldering to fix it, so bought one of these and its really good. i might even just keep using it and once i fixed my ripped 101 screen i would try making my 001 to a 010 mod by using the 101 screen.
Kit at 7:48.
Interesting little thing you got there! I do have an original replacement 101 on my gba that got a green dead pixel on it; you said yours got a line... Do you have any ideas to fix it? the ribbon cable soldering to the screen itself may have gone loose perhaps?
Mine isn't fixable that I know of. It's a screen defect.
Does the brightness button on the ags101 work after drop in - with no soldering required?
Yep
@@makho appreciate it!
sorry one more question - does it fit perfectly into a stock GBA SP Housing once a Lens is installed? Or does it require a foam piece between the back of the screen and the shell?
@@SMOKEFRMDA6IX The foam just prevents rattle. Not necessary (but recommended).
Thank u for addressing my concern.
Have to tested this on a 001 board? Do you know if it will work?
I have not yet tested it but I believe it should work.
I know this is a little unrelated but is there a way to fix a 101 screen that has White Corners when it's on?
Not that I know of. I've never had one of those screens myself. I wonder if it's an issue with the polarization layers or if it's just another form of screen rot. Nintendo LCDs seem to have issues with one or the other or both quite frequently.
plzzz do a ags 001 to 101 i cant find a good or reliable way to upgrade my screen and am unsure of what process or screen to buy; ive done alot of research and basically just want a decent backlit screen hut havent found a solid answer yet ty for vid though i also subbed
nvm looked through ur channel i think i figured out what i need but if u do make more vids ill be here to check em out
Does this fake ags-101 support brightness adjustment through the ribbons for the AGB?
Assuming the ribbon supports brightness control then yes
@@makho Would you have a recommendation for a ribbon that might support that? I tried a ribbon I picked up from retromodding with a switch and wire, but the brightness did not change when switching the switch setting. The screen looked great, just wasn't terribly bright.
@@SchmingyYT It sounds like something went wrong with your install then because those ribbons should work for brightness control with these screens.
@@makho Different cable made the difference. Same make and model as the first one. Either a bad solder joint with little wire or something else wrong with the first cable I tried. Thanks again! Great content!!
Hi Makho, if you still have this screen, can you tell me if flickering is ok ? Like the F-Zero map no flickering on some (all ?) ips kits as opposed to the gba original screen where the map flickering is normal.
Thanks.
Quite late but did you notice any artifact(ghosting, image retention, slow response and no flickering when it should be flickering) like in the video from My life in gaming? Because from the video, seems not to be the case. I'm really interested at this point, great work man.
this screen does seem to handle that better than the other IPS kits but I still like the funnyplaying kits better anyway
@@makho Thanks a lot!
where i can find the adhesive under the lens?
under the lens
IDK when you test which one....
Maybe u know what it is "ips ags v2" for gba???
Want to try that again?
@@makho Ie. I ordered from one man, gba in a new housing and display, it was supposed to be ips v2, I could do it myself, but I wanted, due to the fact that it is a gift, not to fumble with it myself. He told me that there will be an "ips ags v2" screen in gba and I don't know what it is because I couldn't read about it anywhere. Apparently, you don't have to cut the "original" housing for it. There is such a thing? I am asking because everywhere I read you have to cut the housing or buy a specially cut one.
@@ztejstronymarcin I have no idea what you're asking still
So you’re saying this screen is way better then ags 101 screen ?
yes
How would you rate this compared to other screens?
I need to actually build it into a Game Boy and play with it for a while to get a good feel for it but so far it feels pretty much like a Funnyplaying IPS GBA V2 kit just with a slightly smaller screen.
Does this work with a 001 motherboard?
Probably not. I've been meaning to do more research to find out. With how the brightness control works, I'm leaning towards no but that's only a guess.
@@makho interesting.. well could be a cool idea for a video!
@@andreaf3324 did anyone figure out already?
You REALLY should be using cut resistant gloves if you're going to be prying stuff open with a knife like that.
