Hola, se lo acabo de instalar a mi GameBoy SP, y el sonido quedo excelente... Debo admitir que la soldadura en la resistencia me costó un poco de trabajo 😅.... Fuera de eso se escucha fuerte y claro
Awesome! I used some kapton tape to hold the amp in place while soldering. It worked great, but learn from my mistake, guys. Pretin your solder points before you tape down your amp! LOL, didn't think that one through.
I got this done and boy was it frustrating.. i spent probably 3 hours trying but i finally got it thanks for the vid it did help but mabie if you show how to make the spots where you tapped them i couldnt get it to stick.
@retrosix Hello, great amp, I wanted to ask you if you can repair a printed circuit that came out when trying to change the audio capacitor, can you use one or are both to be soldered?
Another quick question. Does this support both left and right audio channels? I've read that some games mix the channels separately, and you may only get one channel's audio when using some amps. Not really worried about headphones, just that the speaker is playing everything it should. Looking at grabbing 2 from handheld legend if so. Also, as a side question, any idea if Handheld Legend is getting a restock on your GBC Amp?
The new speaker you mentioned in the end (though you said it won't be a speaker per se), what's going to be better about it (other than fitting the SP without modifications, I assume)? I don't particularly love the replacement 1W speaker you sell right now because I think it sounds less full/more tinny than the stock speaker, so I'm hoping you have something better on the way :) EDIT: also, if it's a better speaker, would they work on other GameBoys?
Better sound, better range, longer lifespan. Will cost few £ more than standard ones but should be worth it. Will work in all consoles but no need if console has the space having this kind of special speaker it's for super tight spaces
@@RetroSix Awesome, so it’s more efficient at similar volume levels. I thought it would be the opposite since the original amp is still in the circuit. Does the original somehow shutdown when your flex is soldered in? Thanks for the reply!
Your item's is so Good. I have a question about my order to Retrosix and I am contacting retrosix support from Japan on July 17th(JST) and 20th(JST) with different email addresses. Would you please check it? Best regards.
You guys are legends! Still working on the gba even after all those years.
Thanks
Clean and gorgeous, best tutorial out here in youtube.

You got Crazy sounds and problems with the Display if you use it with a LED Glow kit. Both of them go to the 3,6v VCC Pin
Awesome 🤩

Also, as a side question, any idea if Handheld Legend is getting a restock on your GBC Amp?
Yes. All our amps have always been stereo
I bought one. I soldered it but no sound came out of it. I removed it and the console itself has no sound. Please help
my gba sp ags-101 does not have the VOL or Ground connections on its C/AGT-ECPU-01. Any ideas how to approach this installation?
Solder the VOL to middle pin of vol wheel. Ground can be any ground you like
@RetroSix can this mod along with its de-humming/Hissing mod work along side of the retroglow led mod?
Yes

@RetroSix can this amp mod and the de humming/hissing mod be used with the retroglow led mod?
Is this compatible with the RetroGlow mod? I see that the qsb's would overlap slightly but none of the same solder points seem to be used.
Yep it works with them
Thank you finally I found someone asking the same question
And can you let me know if you did the mod and if it came out good?
And any chance you'll do a CleanAmp Pro for other GBs like the GBC, GBP and DMG?
GBC and DMG coming in 3 weeks
Any chance you guys will offer lower shipping fees to Philippines?
Its always 30 usd even if I just order smaller and select items
Shipping is £6 if no batteries, £25 if batteries included or order value is higher
Any ETA on that new speaker you mentioned near the end?
Not yet still in prototype staged
@@RetroSix thanks!
Hi there! Will this work with the retro glow already soldered onto my sp??
I believe so, so long as you can make the solder connections to each
@@RetroSix awesome!
My gba sp speaker seems to have pretty low volume, will this solve my issue?
Depends on where the issue is, but it is very likely yes
@@RetroSix ok I’ll give it a shot
How much does this impact battery life?
Depends how loud you turn it up. If as loud as original then it's less battery draw. But full loudness will obviously drain it a little faster
@@RetroSix Awesome, so it’s more efficient at similar volume levels.
I thought it would be the opposite since the original amp is still in the circuit.
Does the original somehow shutdown when your flex is soldered in?
Thanks for the reply!
The IC doesn't draw power operating it is when the speaker is driven it draws current. The way the old amp drives the speaker is less efficient
Your item's is so Good.

Thanks we will check all emails today. If you don't hear back by today let me know
