Hey everyone! The CleanScreen GG is compatible with both 2 Asic and 1 Asic Game Gear motherboards. You just need to make sure to buy the correct flex cable kit. Sorry for the confusion. Cheers!
dude, your channel is truly inspiring. perfect pacing, presentation, cinematography, interesting content... the only thing i see lacking is recording in 4k, but i understand it has its costs. keep it up man ;)
I just want to say I second everything he says. I just got into the modding scene, and have really enjoyed watching your videos learning how to do so! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so so much for the shout out. I had an absolute blast trying to design that shell. I’m very very happy with it. Possibly my best shell design to date 👍👍
Sadly this custom shell is not what RetroSix sells on their website, they sell UV printed ones with no precision on the print, which means it can have something like 1 or even 2 milimeters bad offset from what you expect, it also can't print shades on transparent because the UV print needs to print a white primmer layer 1st, so if your shell is not white there's no shade for you, and that has limited printing area only on the front of the shell so nothing on the sides and nothing on the back of the shell.
This was insanely helpful! Every time we attempt a new mod or repair we always come to your page first to see if you have a video on it. Everything is explained so well!! Thank you
This is going to save a huge amount of time doing these mods, it takes a long time to mod the GG with an LCD screen and this is a game changer. Definatly going to pick this up for one of the motherboards in the spares bin. Great build chap and that case is superb!
Wow... That shell is soooo cool! Really happy to see more options for GG! I think that thing should be part of your backdrop in your videos. It's great. Take care Tito!
Fantastic video. My only experience with the Game Gear was a girl in my neighborhood who got one in 1999 when Majesco re-released it. I was blown away with the backlit screen and power in a time when I had a Gameboy Color and a worm light. I was less impressed when I found out her parents refused to give her batteries so she had to use an AC adapter and plug into the wall!
Haha, that’s was the true struggle of the game gear. I remember when I was younger I spent more time playing it plugged in than with batteries too. I also had a recharge battery pack which was kinda cool! Cheers!
Wow, I have 2 gamegears I got in a bundle a few years back. Might be time to open them and see what models they are. Thank you for the high quality video that outlines every step!
Fantastic video and super excited to see more competition for Game Gear modding. Seems like each company releasing an LCD kit is improving on the last. This leads to something I'm surprised you didn't mention in the video, and that's costs. McWill's will go over $100 (if you get them Stateside and get a genuine McWill, not a Chinese clone) and the RetroKai Magic Screen also comes out to $100 with better features than the McWill. And now it seems like this kit will be closer to the $65-$75 range WITH significant install and feature improvements on the other kits.
@@MachoNachoProductions haha I understand that. You're videos are superb - some of the best retro modding videos on RUclips. Your sub numbers definitely don't reflect the quality of your content. Keep pumping it out and I'm sure the subs will catch up.
Hi, as usual here is a nice and awesome video ! I love watching your tutorials ... I decided to go for this Retrosix kit. I think it will be so nice because the original screen has always been of poor quality ... Thank you very much Macho Nacho
Damn, this video could not have come at a better time, a buddy of mine gave me an old game gear a while back and just yesterday I got around to opening it up and inspecting it Thank you for the awesome content
@@MachoNachoProductions one thing I didn't see in your installation: does the mod require you to snap off the screw post like the other two? Fewer cuts will definitely affect how I see the mod
Wish these were out sooner! I fried one of my 2 ASIC models trying to get the McWill kit to work... Still have a single ASIC, I will definitely be buying this kit to make the install easier!
Absolutely stunning video work man! I absolutely love your content! The Game Gear was my first handheld so I have a lot passion for it. And I am so happy that it's getting all this love and attention. I just wish the screen had correct scaling. I have a custom Japanese gray Sega Saturn themed will modded Game Gear with video out a player One controller port, love everything about it except the shimmering and Screen tearing. Lol. I just bought a second Game Gear that I'm just going to save until the right screen comes out. Thanks for all your hard work and amazing videos!
This looks really cool. A couple years back I collected many retro consoles and portables. I lost interest but have gotten back into it a bit and I want to upgrade my Sega Game Gear. My only block is I have no prior knowledge of soldering and I'm unsure of these tools and whats needed. I think if I did start, I would want to try on a GBA, then move on to a Game Gear. Wish me luck!
Start with cheap practice kits. I went with a mini-Piano 🎹 kit off Amazon that has lots of soldering and fun to use after your done. It's surprisingly easy after awhile but you'll need quite a few tools to be ready for a big modification. Temperature controlled Iron, several different sized tips big and small, Micro screwdriver and screws set, Soldering wire with Rosin/Flux already built-in, Micro Wire Cutters, Tweezers, Flux, Soldering Wick and Solder Sucker. Bunch of stuff I'm probably forgetting but those basic tools will get you off to a good start. ;)
@@overnightdelivery Sorry for the late response. I recently bought a bunch of tools for soldering. I've so far have only done simples projects like fixing Gameboy cartridge's save batteries. I've never heard of these kits and will defiantly will be checking them out.
Oooo. It’s getting close now to where a ham fisted hack like me might be able to do this mod. I have my spare GG almost ready, new case, buttons etc all picked out. Just need to decide which screen mod to attempt. Thanks for this.
Awesome build but the fact that the screen isn't a perfect integer scale to the original resolution kind of kills it for me. I really dislike shimmering.
I bought this kit and red buttons for my game gear because of this video and this still cost less than buying a McWill kit alone. I'm glad I stumbled across this. My Game Gear looks great now.
Hey Tito! Love the video and that dope custom MNP shell! You've inspired me to start building my own ultimate sp, and I was wondering if youd ever make video about soldering? Covering your equipment, tips and tricks, recommended products, etc. I've learned a lot just watching your videos but a dedicated video would be extremely helpful! (especially because your solder jobs specifically are so clean)
I appreciate this, I just recently found my game gear in a box, in my parents basement and have replaced all the caps from the retro six cap kit on the mother board. In doing so I also order the screen but after watching your video it looks like I will have to order those bracket other boards and that tape as well 🤦🏽♂️😂
Wow this mod is a must have for me. Your game gear in this video looks gorgeous. I've been looking for an easier mod for the Gamegear than the previous featured. Thanks for showing it Macho, Keep up the great work!!
Totally epic and awesomest Game Gear to date. GG was my second handheld console. I enjoyed playing Sonic, Streets of Rage on it very much. Terminator was fun as it was frustrating. When Mortal Kombat was all the hype I loved playing it with all the gore and blood. Kano was missing with one punch and kick button. Start was block but it all worked. At the time be a kid who could play an arcade port in the car and in color was worth it.
Another great video! My 1-year old loves when I turn your videos on for background noise while I work. For those of us with the absolute minimal experience with soldering, are there any installers you would suggest I look at for doing this mod?
Loved the video Tito. But most of all thank you for teaching me that there was another Godzilla game out there that I had not played. I am a huge G fan so I immediately went looking for it lol.
Awesome video, Im becoming a bigger and bigger fan of your channel. Excellent structure and I appreciate that. Question for you, does this mod NOT work for say a VA4 or VA5? I happen to be working on a VA5 right now.
When I was a very young skunk, I used to think the Game Gear had a tiny CRT in it because it had a similar glow. Turns out, I was only very slightly right. According to wikipedia, the screen is "backlit for low light using a small cold cathode fluorescent lamp tube".
Hey Tito, amazing build and video as usual! I’m digging that custom shell, looks high quality and the colour is outstanding, nice touch! Regarding the screen, it does seem to be easier to install than the RetroKai which is a lot to say. Something I noticed with the screen modes, the scan lines seem horizontal rather than vertical present on the McWill and RetroKai modes, I’d like to see them side by side if possible and what is your opinion. I’m also curious about the sound card, how better is the sound comparing to your RetroKai build/stock i.e.? I look forward to that video then hehe. Cheers!
I am definitely thinking of doing a comparison video of the 3 options, I think people would be very interested in that. Will also be doing a dedicated RetroKAI soundboard video. Stay tuned! Cheers Jesus!
Just found one of these game gear units $14. It's the second gen you mentioned in this video for the upgrade. 😅maybe I'll get it up and running again 😅.
Hey what gauge wire did you use for the 9 and 21 pins on the back? I want to use wire from a CAT5 cable that I had but the gauge seemed to big. Any suggestions?
FWIW, if you wanta rechargeable battery solution, they now have the 'CleanJuice USB C Battery Pack' that provides 22.2Wh, which they say can give you more than 13 hours of gaming.
I've never done anything like this before but I really wanna dive in and start learning. Not sure if the Game gear is where to start though it's very tempting.
Look awesome 🤘. After I watch the GBC Mod with a biggest screen, I think that the Game Gear with a biggest screen can be a awesome add, + that can fix the "issue" with screen that don't interger the screen well. Also... We so close to have the USB C Used as a video out, hope that the VGA mod can be adapted to used the USB C .
We need either a screen with 2x the original resolution or a screen that has an Integer mode with the option to turn off the Game Gear mask, showing an extended field of view. There is a Game Gear emulator for GBA that has this feature, making the game run in integer scale, but with the GBA native resolution and it's magnificent.
This Video is awesome as always man keep it up! Have you ever modded a n64 before? I'm a huge fan of the console because i mainly grew up with it, and i was wondering if you've done some in the past or planning to mod one?
First of all hello Tito. A new video and a very interesting one as Game Gear is my favourite handheld console. 1) I contacted Retrosix and they told me that the cleanscreen is compatible with all game gear models! In your video you are telling that is only compatible with 1 asic model and in the future will support 2 asic model too. Now i am confused! What is the truth? By the way i own 3 Game Gear consoles. 2 modded with McWill and the third one with the official screen as it is a version 5! So is it compatible with cleanscreen? 2) The procedure of installing that new screen is not the easiest thing but not also the hardest one. For the noobs with no soldering skills is gonna be a difficult one. I am noob too but until now with your videos i've managed to mod a lot of my consoles with 100% Success :-) 3) I love the scanlines effect that are horizontal and not vertical like on McWill screens. 4) Also i like that you can edit the brightness with the wheel as you can't do such a thing on McWill screens. 5) What is the difference by instaling that new sound board? Less power and more clear sound? Please enlight me. 6) I love those shells BUT i hate that dark spots like holes. I have seen many designs of that producer and is doing an excellent work. I wonder if he can make those spots disappear. Overall is the best mod you have done so far and is really beautiful. For the video i have no words. The same as usual......PROFFESIONAL! Have a nice day Tito and thanks for sharing! Love and peace from Greece!
Hello there! Yes, this kit is only compatible with the single asic, retro six will release a new flex cable that will work with the dual asic in the future. The new soundboard is good if you have a damaged one. Not sure if any improvements at the moment. I will be making a video soon about it! Stay tuned! So glad you are enjoying the videos my friend! I hope you have a wonderful day also! Cheers buddy!
Where can I see more close up footage of this mod in action? There was hardly any footage of the actual screen shown in this video and was all from far away. Really would have been nice if you had shown some actual up close gameplay footage of this screen.
very nice build!!! wonder if it costs the same as a ps5 after all the mods... the only original part left is the mobo.... oh and the sticker at the back.
@@MachoNachoProductions Again, Awesome awesome build! I did one with the Funny Playing board and it was OK..... and cheap... hopefully when this one's in production it won't cost too much. I have 1 more game gear waiting for the next payday for me to order the LCD.😁 i may hold off if this is comparable to funny one price-wise.

First of all hello Tito. A new video and a very interesting one as Game Gear is my favourite handheld console.
1) I contacted Retrosix and they told me that the cleanscreen is compatible with all game gear models! In your video you are telling that is only compatible with 1 asic model and in the future will support 2 asic model too. Now i am confused! What is the truth? By the way i own 3 Game Gear consoles. 2 modded with McWill and the third one with the official screen as it is a version 5! So is it compatible with cleanscreen?
2) The procedure of installing that new screen is not the easiest thing but not also the hardest one. For the noobs with no soldering skills is gonna be a difficult one. I am noob too but until now with your videos i've managed to mod a lot of my consoles with 100% Success :-)
3) I love the scanlines effect that are horizontal and not vertical like on McWill screens.
4) Also i like that you can edit the brightness with the wheel as you can't do such a thing on McWill screens.
5) What is the difference by instaling that new sound board? Less power and more clear sound? Please enlight me.
6) I love those shells BUT i hate that dark spots like holes. I have seen many designs of that producer and is doing an excellent work. I wonder if he can make those spots disappear.
Overall is the best mod you have done so far and is really beautiful. For the video i have no words. The same as usual......PROFFESIONAL!
Have a nice day Tito and thanks for sharing!
Love and peace from Greece!
Hello there!
Yes, this kit is only compatible with the single asic, retro six will release a new flex cable that will work with the dual asic in the future.
The new soundboard is good if you have a damaged one. Not sure if any improvements at the moment. I will be making a video soon about it! Stay tuned!
So glad you are enjoying the videos my friend! I hope you have a wonderful day also! Cheers buddy!
Most beautiful game gear build ever
Thank you Kevin🙏! Cheers buddy!
Where can I see more close up footage of this mod in action? There was hardly any footage of the actual screen shown in this video and was all from far away. Really would have been nice if you had shown some actual up close gameplay footage of this screen.
Hey terrific video! Have you tried the Bennvenn kit and if yes could you compare 1/ easiness of install 2/ graphic rendering quality? Thanks !
I was looking at the website myself just this morning for when I get my game gear I got a I met it's pretty impressive kits that the offer
Another amazing video!
Thank you Alex🙏
Dang.. If this is the easiest one I really don't want to know what the hardest one looks like!
very nice build!!! wonder if it costs the same as a ps5 after all the mods... the only original part left is the mobo.... oh and the sticker at the back.
Thank you! Haha, not as much as a ps5. Probably just shy of 200 including the game gear!
@@MachoNachoProductions Again, Awesome awesome build! I did one with the Funny Playing board and it was OK..... and cheap... hopefully when this one's in production it won't cost too much. I have 1 more game gear waiting for the next payday for me to order the LCD.😁 i may hold off if this is comparable to funny one price-wise.
Need to mod one of my game gears. good job m8. SEGA TILL I DIE
Can't take my eyes off this beauty.
Totally agree!
Obligatory comment to boost engagement and make youtube continue to promote some of the highest quality retro content on youtube
Thank you🙏! You rock!
Hey did you review the Retrokai soundboard in another video? Interested to hear any feedback on it before purchasing.
I’ll be doing a review in a future video. Stay tuned!
13:38 my OCD kickin' in with the white dot on the screen....
When soldering I would recommend using flux
I really wish someone would update the screen side. A true equivalent pixel scaling and not have to deal with the shimmer issue.
I’m sure we’ll be getting one soon enough! Cheers!
