BTW this OLED kit will go perfectly with my Black Ice shell 😉 www.retromodding.com/collections/uv-prints/products/jake-black-ice-for-game-boy-color?ref=retroremastered
It’s been sold out😢
@@mattryan3241 yeah I’ve asked them to restock again. I’ll make an announcement when they are back in stock
Awesome can’t wait to grab one
I legit would love to see how long it takes to burn in.
hi do you if this is compatible with FPGBC ? thanks a lot for this review.
I want the Nintendo DS to get OLED screens
DS Lite with OLED would be epic
Both the DS and the 3DS with OLED screens would be the tits.
@@ThePreciseClimber on god I hope the modding community makes us something like that
Damn I need this for the advance
That was my thought. Seems a bit wasted on the gbc vs the gba.
That's where I'm at. Modded my advance. Loved it at first. But now I see how washed out the display is. Fully functional, but much less enjoyable to play.
YES. THANK YOU. YES. PLEASE.
This thing been out for a while I can't believe why people haven't gotten to modding the GBA with an AMOLED yet. It is so infuriating because I own 2 GBA SP that I can mod but the mods are just not interesting. However finding a Gameboy nowadays is harder.
I’m so glad I found this video. I was considering for a little while to upgrade my childhood GameBoy Color to use an IPS screen, but I was worried about soldering. Your video made it seem so simple and a couple of weeks ago I modded my GameBoy Color with the black shell and OLED screen. So glad I did, even with the small bit of soldering. Brings new life to the old guy. Thanks! The only (very small) gripe I have for this mod is that the power led doesn’t sit centre to the new screen hole
Can people stop buying this for like 5 minutes so I can get one like GAH it’s sold out EVERYWHERE
Idk why retrogame doesnt link ur vids, urs are way better than handhelds and not an hour long 😂
I bought a gameboy color today and I was planning on buying an ips display for it, not anymore :D
This idea seemed like a no brainer, but perhaps it was difficult to implement an oled screen on a gameboy. I'm loving this! If an oled mod becomes available for the gba sp, I will buy it in a heartbeat!
awesome mod and a pretty good reason to at least try soldering for first timers
Does anyone know if this screen will work with a FunnyPlaying FPGBC motherboard ?
This video certainly has better energy and format than some of your past videos
If you are trying something new, it is working!
I was super engaged. Thanks for the vid and information ❤🙏
Thanks for the shoutout! You seem pretty chill
I want it. I love it. I should probably leave my Pikachu edition GBC original though and get a different GBC to mod
Can you install this in an original shell?
Good lord man if I had this growing up!!! Ironically gbcs couldve been front lit as soon as the original gb sp came out lol. Oooh and I remember all them struggle mods back in theearly youtube daysss modding gameboys so you could see in the dark☠️
why would u not hold the finished gameboy right infront of the camera for us to see instead of your face reflected on an angled screen
I bought it, used the coup code too so thank you Jake and thanks for the content. I subscribed to you as well. Anyone recommend games to showcase this kit im about to utilize?
Quick question was about to buy the screen. Is that shell from the aliexpress listing? I really dig that midnight black color
It is the shell from the listing
This might be my first mod ever! I feel comfident enought with the minimum soldering experience I have to do it haha
It cannot fit in the original GBC shell?
Correct. You will need a new shell that is specifically made for this screen
So the Matte black you are using is not stock? And the screen you installed only fits in the case you are using/mentioned?
does anyone know if this screen is compatible with the funnyplaying fpga motherboard?
Could you make a video on how to mod an original case to make this fit? I have an Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie GBC that needs a new screen thanks
This is definitely going to be my next build, I'll wait for it to be on stock in Retro Game Repair Shop for sure!

Excited to grab one of these kits. I noticed the board you used in the video has a "CPU CGB" chip. This is the initial release SoC which has a very slightly different boot ROM - somewhat rare :)
Interesting!
You should try this on a bucketmouse dmg 👀
And still cheaper than a analogue pocket 😂
Neat screen but this is from a Blackberry q10 screen from 2013. So the tech is over 10 years old not sure how it will hold up over time. Also rumor has it a oled gba screen is coming!
A lot of the mod screens are from old blackberry phones so that part doesn’t scare me
Ok, so I had an old GBC and wanted to upgrade the screen. Found this video, bought this screen and by the end of it all fucked everything up so bad that my GBA and the screen went to the garbage. Honestly, unless you know what you are doing don't even bother trying to learn to solder with this video. Also don't buy the screen hoping to put it into your original GBC shell. It doesn't fit.
You think one day these will be a thing for gba?

Okay, I love this video. Can't wait to get one of these. Just waiting for them to come back in stock on aliexpress.
It’s crazy! I have never seen a kit sell out on AliExpress before
Yeah, I'm not convinced that it was all modders though. Guessing the majority were scalped and that it'll even out in a month(hoping).
@@JoshRBuchanan52 it’ll probably only be a couple weeks. If anyone is scalping, they will not see much success
I sure hope so. I mean, the ones available right now are up for 300. Haha, I'm good. I can wait. Well thanks again for another awesome video. @@JakeSimmons
is there a reason the gameboy logo wont turn on for me
Hey! I love this build! Is this the FunnyPlaying Game Boy Color 2.0 Laminated Q5 IPS Ready Shell - Black? I noticed you mentioned it was a Matt black but I'm only seeing black as a color option.
Love your videos btw ! You’re my go to tutorial videos for all of my Gameboy mods ! Well for all retro mods at that point lol . Would this fit in the boxy pixel GBC color shell?
I already have a Q5 GBC so the next best thing would be an aluminum shell with a amoled display. Thanks for all the great content !!
That Casey impression 😂
Question. If I have an authentic console and end up going with your kit, would I only be using my original motherboard + your kit?
Hi by any chance do you know if can I do this mod to my Japanese gameboy color? Are American gameboy colors and the Japanese gameboy colors the same to mod, or are there differences?
Is this compatible with original gbc hardware? I still have mine from when I was a kid but all the components are pretty worn out. Looking to revive it
Yup. Should work just fine
would like to see a burn in strestest becuase allot of GB/C games have static UI/HUD's
I have a question about the burn in Effekt. Modern TVs have a Software that privide the display from burn in but i guess that isnt the case here. So what is the live span of this display? Im planing to get a new moded game boy color but i dont know if i should go for oled or q5
They should have made this for a GBA or GBA SP it would have made much more sense especially for the original GBA
Can i use this with my original gbc shell? It has sentimental value
you can but you need to cut the shell. you should use another shell if your original shell means a lot to you
you can use the Original GBC Case or it doesnt fit?Aliexpress say u better buy a non Original Case from them as a Bundle
As I’m watching this I’m remembering that I have an OLED Nintendo Switch. Very exciting though :)
Salvatore Villages
Can we at least get a GBA mod with touch screen even if it's not OLED. That's kinda what i love the most about this one haha
Jarret Meadows
Sold out 🙄😭
I’m still waiting for a setting to adjust the colors. All of these modern screens are way way too oversaturated compared to the original Game Boy Color.
It's not that those screens are saturated, rather the original game or color screen is very desaturated
Games were heavily saturated so you could actually see the colors on the very poorly saturated game boy screen
Agree x1000, i love oled screens in general but this and so many of these modded screens look way off when you’re used to the og hardware, love the analogue pocket for this reason - it nails it 99%! Hoping someday that these types of mods can nail the gbc color palette
@@kevinabanto You are correct. The bad screen led to games being designed with oversaturated colors so that they'd look okayish on the desaturated screen. Nintendo Switch Online has a nice balance with their GBC games looking more in line with the originals even on a nice modern screen.

Ordered mine today! Woohoo
How does this screen brightness compare to lcd? Is it the same peak brightness?

great video, What is the battery like with this mod? I presume it requires much more power that the previous IPS mods.

My Q5 looks amazing not trying to play a garbage Steam Deck 😂
This is coming out at the perfect timing for me to be starting a new job next week.
Ayyy congrats
I’m really interested in knowing if this lens could fit in the CGS shells! Could you please try it out? :)
this looks so good I just started a youtube private playlist of mods I want to do lol
great video
Se n fosse o burn in eu fazia esse mod tbm
I did everything right and nothing went wrong and mine won’t turn on
Compatible with the FunnyPlaying FPGA?
wow ❤
Salute
Thanks for the video, used your link to get the kit and it works excellent. The only thing is, I can't get my GAMEBOY COLOR logo on the bottom to light up like yours. How do I do that?
Open the menu by touching and holding down the bottom of the screen and then you swipe through the menus and tap the arrows to change the color of the logo
Looking for a modded gameboy color that can play both gb games and advanced games
If I could find a GBC for under $150aud, this would be great. I just hope it leads to amoled going into a few more devices.
Same issue here. Would love to build one for a friend, but the base consoles are so expensive. Turns into a really expensive gift really quickly :-(

Just when I bought my ips gameboy kit :(

That's sick! Adding a touchscreen to a Game Boy Color!
Does the screen refresh at the original refresh rate or is it 60hz with periodic frames dropped/doubled?
Oh man i still have yet to do any screen mods to my GBC, my GBA and my GBA SP.
I might just wait until the GBA and GBA SP gets AMOLED screen mods!
It might be a while for gba
I just build the exact same one and damn man. This is by far the best kit i agree
I would love love to see how long it takes the oled to burn in.
Its general nice information to know.
Pull a Bob from Wulff den. I wanna see that burn in.
I want this model, I hope it's in stock again soon.
there sold out on AliExpress except for scalpers on the same site selling them for $480 Australian😢. I want one so bad hopefully they are more available later on and not scalped because everyone wants one. love your Chanel got me into modding now I nearly have ever console and to many dmg gbc gba/sp's to count l like to get them broken to fix then mod I find it more fun.
They should be back in stock within a couple weeks! Won’t be too long
Carissa Ridge
I love there are no stupid touch pads!!!
Wonder if these screens will come to GBA

Do you think OLED will make it's way to the ds lite?
Maybe but I wouldn’t hold your breath. It’ll probably come to the rest of the game boy models before they think about ds
My screen is in the mail, can't wait!
i know that you deal with retro consoles but i was wondering if you know if theyre going to release an oled screen from switch? Ive heard they are and itd be cool because im falling pretty deep down the emulation rabbit hole.
The switch already has an OLED model
That's the most friendliest soldering requirement ever, they already have glob of solder where you need to solder, basically you just melt the glob and you're done.
And the power switch already has solder too! It’s awesome
