I wish i could get that custom gbc but it dosent ship to my country i even saved up all my money for this please find a way to ship to the UAE ill even pay extra if thats the case ):
@@wafaachaar1651 thank you for checking out my video! I’m glad you like the Golden GBA SP. Send me an email and we can make it work 👍
it's called the golden boy, legend has it that it predates even before Game & Watch series from 1980. it is said all other games was reverse engineered through the GoldenBoy
@@SolomonLegends 😂 😂 😂 this is the lore I never knew I needed
This is ..wow I'm speechless it's like you restored.. .it to life... just amazing.. work.
@@Ahloveyafuhso thank you so much for the kind words ! 🙏
@@GameBoyMart your welcome keep it up!
That's flashy! 🤩💛
It's really cool. I absolutely miss having a GBA SP. While I prefer a unibody/study device like GBC/GBA, I just have so many good memories with SP - LeafGreen, GoldenSun... that Bomberman game that was cheap, and the only game I owned for a while. What I don't miss: Not having a headphone jack. GameBoy games are in stereo, and music/sounds are incredible when given the opportunity to shine. It's such a shame. Ultimately, don't forget, folks - it's the games that make something worthwhile/memorable, not the hardware itself.
@@ReclaimerTyphoon I couldn’t agree more ! I would bring my SP with me everywhere I went. It always felt so ahead of its time. The thing I like about the USB-C mod is it give it also gives it an audio out function. You can hook it up to a speaker or even use a USB-C to audio jack to use headphones. It definitely would have been nice to have that growing up
Where can we buy it? I don’t see it on your site.
@@Busyshark92 This one was built for a seller event I’m doing this upcoming Saturday! Shoot me a message and I can sell you this one or I can build you one from scratch
Wow!
Wow men you always do the high class work. You are the best
Thank you Manny! I appreciate the continued support! You are the man
This is awesome i want to buy one
@@kayla4060 I can build you one! Send me a message and we’ll get it going
@@GameBoyMart How do I send a message

hello. i have a pokemon pikachu edition gbc. everything looks great on it except the lens has scratches. is there a way to restore the lens that you know of? i dont want to lose the pikachu on the lens by replacing it and i want to try to keep it original as possible
@@AP1million Nice! Definitely one of my favorite rare game boys. They make replica Pikachu lenses that look exactly like the original. The one featured in this video is actually one of those replacements. I’ve also heard of people using toothpaste to try and fill in / hide scratches
Nice!!! I have inverted colour scheme to yours (so black with red buttons and trim) looking for the BEST screen mod on the market for GBA
@@lucifermorningstar910 that’s awesome ! I would love to see how that came out. In my opinion - I really like Hispeedio laminated IPS and the Funnyplaying laminated. I would definitely recommend giving it a try
My game boy color has that same speaker
How much would you charge if I bought a power puff girls themed gameboy color the power puff girls was my favorite childhood cartoon network cartoon
@@ronaldhenson3379 Thats awesome, I loved the powerpuff girl series as a kid! This particular one is $270 because the shell needs to be custom UV printed. It also comes with free shipping, a carrying case and a charm/wrist strap combo!
I love these! 😍👏🏻
@@stefaniacuomo Thank you! 🙏
If it's available and affordable, then this is a good substitute for the awful Analogue Pocket. Like someone already said in the comment section, the supposed benefits of FPGA are just gimmick in my eyes. But this is still great for nostalgia. I still have some cartridges in my storage room I would like to use. For now, I prefer to play a bigger array of consoles and stream games on AYN Odin 2 and RP3 plus.
Es 100% necesario reemplazo de capacitadores?
Is it possible to add a screen to this FPGBC? To play DS games with 2 screens at the same time.
It doesn’t have the ability to play anything other than gameboy and gameboy color games.
Amazing! i see you do gbc and gba sp...what about gba?
@@Locomotror thank you for the kind words! I make custom GBAs too but not as much as GBCs / SPs. I will make more GBA content !
With thousands and thousands of original games in my collection, the only things I want from any emulation console is that it has support for original software as well as roms and that it is better quality than original hardware. This kind of project brings me hope that more of these kinds of machines will be made.
what flash cart is that?
That's something I definitely would like to know myself
I've got one on order and am excited to put it together and play around with it. As I understand, Makho has a patched version of the firmware with "a different aesthetic," but nobody actually explains what that is--have you tested it out?
@@floppy-button Nice! What color combination did you go with? Makho is awesome and is definitely the leading pioneer for the FPGBC. I haven’t been keeping up with his firmware updates but I remember he had changed the boot logo and made/correct some display settings. Now that I have some more free time, I will test out his latest drops and I’ll keep you updated!
@@GameBoyMart I went with all white after I saw it on Retro Game Corps and thought it looked really sharp. I saw another video that showed the patched firmware and I can understand why people are so cagey about talking about it... what with Nintendo being so C&D happy. It's a much more authentic-looking screen in both the GBC and GB cores. I've got to say, I prefer that over FP's take though.
I don't really see a point to it. FPGA is still just emulation. And this is very expensive and featureless compared to basically any Android handheld at a similar price. The ability to use carts doesn't really matter because no one's carrying a billion carts around and doing the maintenance to make sure they still work. At best real console people just get a flash cart and have all of the games there anyway. But then that just begs the question why even do that over just using a dedicated emulation device...? We've had cycle accurate emulation for GB/C/A/DS/etc. for over a decade.
You made a very valid point! I agree that a lot of these emulator devices have a lot more going for them as far as features and variety of games that can be played. Something like a miyoo mini or an anbernic are great imo. As someone who grew up with a Game Boy Color attached to my hand, the FPGBC appeals to me for the look, feel and nostalgia factor. I love the updated features it offers(settings menu, rechargeable battery, speed control etc.) and how easy it is to assemble. Another big sell point for me is the many different customizable parts and options! My personal Game Boy builds definitely turns some heads when I break it out on the train/subway. Which emulator devices do you recommend? I’ve been trying to find a good one for everyday use. I really like the miyoo mini plus
@@GameBoyMart I prefer Android-based ones for stability, such as my Retroid Pocket 2+. Have had it since April 2022, no issues. By stability, I mean perfect compatibility with sleep modes, no need to reinstall the OS (sometimes on the Linux-based Anbernics you might have to reinstall periodically to regain access to Wi-Fi, etc.). It's honestly not a pain to reinstall for that stuff though and if RetroAchievements (pretty much the only reason you'd want Wi-Fi other than FTPing more games (Anbernic devices have the SD card usually a bit annoying to get in/out so FTP helps)) isn't even something you want, that's not an issue. The RG Arc from Anbernic is a cool one, it's shaped like a Sega Saturn controller and actually feels a lot like one, although more weighted so it's comfy in the hand. I think from a technological perspective the FPGA devices are intriguing, but it's hard to justify their immense price generally. Like the Analogue Pocket---it's over 200$? That's outrageous.
FPGA is lower latency, more accurate emulation.
@@estusflask982 Nah, it's not more accurate, or "less latent", that's just marketing buzzwords. FPGA actually adds a brutal amount of input latency over traditional cycle-accurate emulation. It literally has no point, it's just a Beanie Baby/NFT/crypto scam to retro gamers.
@@mr.number9279 It is more accurate and lower latency, like I said.
This screen looks smaller than the original screen... Why are these black frames on the sides of the screen so wide and large?
i choose pokemon
Good choice!!
It's unfortunate that the battery for isn't original otherwise it's a great gbc
Love to see it!
This is amazing! 🤩
Where did you buy the power puff girls stickers
Thank you for checking out the video! I make the custom labels myself
Haven't seen u in a while
Thank you for noticing! I appreciate the support. I work in the film industry and had landed a job on a tv show so I had to take a couple months off from making content. I will be back to posting regularly very soon!
Hello, My wife's old GBC has an issue with the screen dimming after a couple of minutes of use. I thought that these caps (at least the 22µf one) was the cause... so I changed them. But the problem has not gone away. Would you have any advices on what to try next? Thanks
Hello! Thank you for checking out my video! My go to thought after reading the symptoms makes me believe the inside of the power switch needs to be cleaned! A lot of dirt gets in there and can be the leading cause of most power issues
@@GameBoyMart Hello. I will give it a try on monday and tell you if you if indeed it worked... Thanks for the advice! Cyrillle
@@cyrilledebrebisson6323 awesome! Keep me updated on how it goes Cleaning the power switch - ua-cam.com/video/sUf8brtwNlc/v-deo.htmlsi=M-G91wSFzlRuxvMf
@@cyrilledebrebisson6323 Did it work? Also have you considered replacing the screen with the new OLED screens from Aliexpress etc., because the original screens slowly dim and die after a while, and the new ones look amazing.
Dang, that's sick! I love Lugia
Same here! Thank you for checking out my video!
I'm doing these for myself not for resale but it is so hard to find theses cases 🤦
Nice! You gotta send me a picture when you complete them!
its easier than you think, I also do these type of mods and these shells are not that hard to buy, trust me
Where do you get the custom shells? They’re gorgeous!
Thank you for checking out my video! I get all of my customs UV printed by Gamie Gamers Customs. I also get some pre made UV printed designs from a vendor in China.
Wow this is amazing I never seen a power puff girls game boy color
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words
Nice builds! I am curious about where those buttons/cartridges are from
My sensor just not responding
Same here :/
good video, why do you change the capacitors?
Possibly due to capacitors aging, I recently have replaced all capacitors in my n64.
Can we know the original price of a custom gameboy color in your site ?
looks crazy
might buy one cuz yes
Is this ips screen exactly the same aspect ratio 160 pixels wide by 144 pixels high in a 10:9 format as the original gbc screen?
Remember back in the days if you owned one of these is like owning iPhone 15
Do you not worry about the metal panel behind the screen touching the board?
So do you have to solder a wire or is it optional?
Thank you for checking out my channel! The wire is optional but it is necessary to solder 1 wire if you want the button for brightness control to work. Some of the newer laminated ips screen come with an attached touch sensor for brightness control but they can be a little unreliable
Thank you SO MUCH for making this tutorial. I tought that my GBC's sound was ruind when I ruined the copper pads, but with this easy fix I have sound again. More people should know of your vids, they're awesome!
I appreciate the kind words! I’m glad this video helped you!!
The LED's are a nice touch, but I'd imagine that'd shred the battery life, great work!
Wooo! You go dude!
I made a GBA just like that
Nice!! I’d love to see that
DId you use special shoulder buttons on the board? I can't pull mine out like you can do at 1:35 :(
Those are the original buttons! The rubber is shaped like a top hat 🎩 using a tweezer you should be able to pull to the side on an angle to get it out of the metal area to clean the button contact
Good video. Do you know where i can get those small/thin red wires?
Thank you for checking out my video! Please consider subscribing if you haven’t already! Those red wires came with the ips kit but you can buy 30AWG wire; here’s the one I normally use for all my builds: a.co/d/24a9Fvk
Nice video. Keep up the good work
Thank you Kai! I appreciate the support. I subscribed to your channel as well 👍
