It is the stage select BGM for Sonic Advance 1!

@@barrettlab84 thank you

Hey, I hope this was a tutorial enough that can inspire you to build your own camera one day

Thank you! I tried to be thorough and concise. Yes, you can bridge those two test points, but the better solution would be to remove solder mask around the severed trace with a scalpel and have a smaller jumper wire. This would let the test points remain as they are.

All the parts can be found in the video's description

For something not this antiquated, I'd just use one of Bucket Mouse's or Skimzor's PCB's and transplant parts to that. The boxy pixel shell is expensive, larger than a pocket, and iffy tolerances

That thing is expensive, heavy, and the carts stick up a bit which is a deal breaker for me

Thank ya! If you want one built for you, you can reach me through my account email.

@@barrettlab84 thanks for the offer! :)

@@barrettlab84sorry if I’m blunt.. what’s your email? :D

The GBP & GBC are devices that have not aged gracefully. This was created as a show of what can be done to modernize the console. Now both the HDMI & Lipo mods are not necessary, the IPS kit does revitalize the unit. As for fitting inside a GBP shell, some, myself included, prefer the GBC's hardware but find the ergonomics of the GBP more comfortable/portable.

If I understand your question correctly, they are wire of 60:40 Sn:Pb solder. I straighten it out to make it easier to handle.

@@barrettlab84 thanks

Natalie's are less fickle, as they expedite the modding of the lower half of the board rather than selectively hack away. The superior method would be to transplant all of the parts to a new mobo (like N64Freak's or Skimzor's boards), but they require a most steady hand & confident microsoldering skills. They also require more specialized tools which would increase the total budget of the project if starting from scratch. I like Xipher's & Natalie's method as it has the potential to revive what could be a destroyed Gameboy due to corrosion/damage.

It's a MBC3 flash cart by Insider Gadgets: shop.insidegadgets.com/product/gameboy-2mb-32kb-fram-mbc3-with-rtc-flash-cart/ And the cart flasher: shop.insidegadgets.com/product/gbxcart-rw/ It allows the flashing of one game onto it at a time. It can be reflashed to other games that have the same memory compatibility (a compatibility chart is found on the website). It fits into original cart dimensions and the aftermarket cart was bought here: retrogamerepairshop.com/collections/gbc-accessories/products/high-quality-game-boy-color-replacement-cartridges

@@barrettlab84 Awesome thank you!

Atomic purple is the superior color

I gotcha ChipQuik NC191 a.co/d/hU505D4 Solder is 60:40 Sn:Pb Iron is generally set to ~300-320 °C. Colder for the smaller components; hotter for the larger.

In the description is a list of parts and sources! There are more modern methods now to perform this mod. The Gameboy discord server has an active discussion about a method that transplant GBC parts onto a new board. Investigate that method as well if particulars of this method seem daunting

I also speak to Xipher and told me the same thing. He recommended the Natalie The Nerd poco method.

These are fickle to work on, I'll agree with you on that. I do loath tinkering with the DS's due to the several tiny ribbon cables that's inside them

@@barrettlab84 I have completely disassembled and assembled DSi 3DS and new about 15 times and they all lived so I'm more confident with that Also price was not insane like the gameboys and performance is more impressive to me The gameboy screens I got was really bad and after so much effort they still don't work it's disheartening

I seriously considered a Dremel for some cuts, but I knew that if I sneezed I'd do more damage from a slipped hand than if I was using hand tools

Flattering! I will answer your question in few parts: a - Your first project should be more of a tear-down of something that doesn't work and no one cares about. An example would be an old keyboard from a thrift store. Buy a decent temp-controlled soldering iron, flux, & tweezers and practice either removing parts or replacing them. This should get you up to speed on being familiar with the quirks of your iron and how much finesse is needed. b-for first mods, gameboys are rather straightforward. Installing an IPS or ITA screen kit is very straightforward. Replacing/supplementing DC power board would be a great 2nd project. GBC's and GBA's are the simplest to tear apart/put-back together. The alternative recommendation would be Raspberry Pi projects. c- Advice: -be patient and don't force anything. If the technique is correct, the part should be easy to place/remove while the board is not being cooked by the soldering iron. USE FLUX -if something isn't coming off easy, back off and let it cool down for awhile. If you keep gnawing at some part using the iron, you'll fry that part. -all parts look the same when hot or cold. -Using a multimeter is a must-have tool to answer "why does it not turn on?" -Generally, things don't become unfixable, they become outside of your skill-set/finances to fix

@@barrettlab84 thank you so much for this wealth of information, it really does mean a lot! I’ll start checking out some things to tinker with!

If the GBC is in good condition, I'd advise to leave it alone for the sake of preservation. If you're comfortable with hot air station, there are a handful of custom GBC motherboards that are in the form factor of a GBP. Otherwise, I'm glad that you're encouraged to try this out and good luck if you attempt to repeat this!

You could probably commission someone

Now that would be an impressive mod. You'd have to chisel away at the 2DS XL shell and I can foresee some 3D printing support parts. In concept though, seems achievable

Almost. Primarily you lose form factor and screen resolution with a GBA. Of course with modern nodding kits, USB-C, HDMI, and Q5 displays are hardly uncommon anymore. This method is antiquated. Before, to fit a GBC into a GBP, you'd chop the entire board in half and merge the top of the GBC to the bottom of a GBP. Ultimately this is a niche, passion project

I'm glad you appreciate it! If you're interested in having one like this, or built similarly, send me an email and I can send you some quotes.

I tried to be thorough; hopefully encouraging & allowing people to repeat what I've built

Oh, I did first clean all the plastic with soapy water before the final touches with isopropyl alcohol. If you see in the other videos, I gently wash all the plastic with soap and water. I also try to trim the videos down to just some brief highlights and keep it under 20 minutes (it just happens in this video it's not included.)

@@barrettlab84 Oh, anyways, keep going! <3

thank you, I've tried my best to be concise in these videos

I'll look for it. There's quite a few games on here, and the HDD is surprisingly intact.

I do. The primary transformer is a little spicy, but there was no change in resistance or voltage droop when testing with a voltmeter. Other than that, the rest of it's anatomy is in pretty good condition.

I actually have the full set and will be showing the restoration of those parts in the coming weeks!

@@justinbarrett3489 Nice! cant wait to see it
