Fun Fact: The 'Over Moulding' you were saying about is called Flashing, it happens from Old/Low quality injection moulding tools where they don't close properly and plastic seeps out. Happens all the time with scale modelling kits!
I looked at buying Gameboy Color to fix so I could play Tetris on it but they are so pricy. It was almost more affordable to buy one with the screen upgrade already done.
@@elliotcoll hey accept my challenge make a game boy color with a green screen from the original game boy I want to see if it'll counteract for Pixel or not please do it I should be working my game boy fixed be with the green screen
The worst part about these mods is closing the glass and display together. You always have dust trapped inside. You basically need a dust free clean room box to fix this issue.
Personally I don't use GB Pockets anymore for moddings because the 2x AAA batteries have a very poor battery runtime with a big IPS screen. Instead I only use the GB Color for mods, it's better in every aspect as the GB pocket and the new IPS mods have the same display size.
i don’t think i’ll do anything like this anytime soon but one day i hope to make my dream gameboy advance, i just don’t have the money or the equipment to do any right now and i’m loving my miyoo mini but one day i’m just gonna drop a couple hundred bucks on everything i need and fully deck out a gba
I’m lucky to have found your channel. I always wanted to do this but never had the guts to do it. And i’ve mod my first GB DMG-1 and can’t wait to do a GBC mod
I’m glad you used the original silicones. I don’t care what anyone says all the company’s that remake them they just don’t feel like the Nintendo ones. The new ones are was to stiff that I’ve tried from a few company’s.
That's a damn good friendship you've got. Always enjoy seeing the modding videos, even if it's of something you've done before. One thing I've always been curious of though. There's a mod that allows I believe a DSi screen to be installed into a GBA since the DSi screen is similar to an AGS 101 screen in nature. There's a kit for it on sale on funnyplaying. One thing that I've been curious about is if it would be possible to get one of those kits working in a GBA SP to replace an AGS 001 screen. I'm a bit too nostalgic about that older style appearance to use an IPS screen. Might make an interesting video if it ends up being semi involved :P
Hay man, ive been watching your stuff for a whiiiile now. And i just want to take a second to say that i am 100% impressed by your improvements and growth in style and content. Youve always been fun to watch but i just cant help but be taken aback, in the best way, to your newer content. Even when you were between homes and your channel was mostly unboxings and fake "reastoration" debunking. I hope youre doing well eliot.
aw man, i love these videos! i want to mod handhelds so badly. i have a couple DS lites i picked up for modding but I'm just a little worried about those ribbon cables 😅
Is there a way to mod a gb pocket to play gbc games in color? If you could that would be awesome. I loved my game boy pocket when I was a child. So many hours playing. Good memories
I have a gameboy pocket with a burnt screen that I need to replace but it doesn’t have the led power light as well. I can not find a place that sells lenses that accommodate that. Any suggestions?
I’d love to try this. I’d never had a gameboy when I was younger because they were too expensive for me. Would be great to correct this failure! Where would one find the parts? Sendico? How much is one looking to pay. (From U.K.). Thank you sir.

Mostly yes, but also from incorrect set up. Not enough closing force or too high injection pressure also causes it.
@@pikejuan yep!
Very nice mod! They are really lucky to have you as a friend! ☺️
I can infact confirm I agree
I hope you had their displays set to Red, Green and Blue then let your friends choose the one they wanted, as if you were Professor Oak.
I LOVE your content. I legit get giddy every time I see this channel or the retro future’s notifications on new videos. Keep killing it brother.
love the editing, and the new angles like workshop mode. perfect chill beats to compliment. Art, Sir.
Jazz music while repairing. Always classy. Well done Elliot!
These have always been my favorite types of videos from you Elliott. Glad to see you back at it.
This man is like the Bob Ross of modding Gameboys.
This was really relaxing to watch! Always love the calm mod videos. I could watch these all day! I really need to mod a pocket or DMG down the road!
This reminds me of the older modding vids when this channel was still young 😊 Great nostalgia trip
Great and simple mod. Really makes me eager to start on one myself! Very nice soothing background music on the video.
I looked at buying Gameboy Color to fix so I could play Tetris on it but they are so pricy. It was almost more affordable to buy one with the screen upgrade already done.
this friend challenges you to make the girliest gameboy possible, pls thanks ❤
Challenge accepted
@@elliotcoll hey

@@teamrocketundercoveragent lol no chance your not a famous UA-cam.
@@steviefpvno cus y did u actually say that 💀
@@elliotcollhope to see this video honestly
I love retro modding wonderful site I got glow in the dark buttons

really like that you keep doing videos like this :)
I'm about to help a friend get his gba an ips screen so this is putting me in a great mood!
In the words of the band “War”: Why can’t we be friends?
3:06 Nespresso what else? Same music track haha :p
Really love how therapeutic these videos are, thanks for these
The FunnyPlaying shells would’ve worked 100x better but awesome work!🔥🔥

what you called overmolding is called the molds flashing
The only thing I don’t like after modding my Gameboy pocket with an IPS screen is the battery life 😢
i don’t think i’ll do anything like this anytime soon but one day i hope to make my dream gameboy advance, i just don’t have the money or the equipment to do any right now and i’m loving my miyoo mini but one day i’m just gonna drop a couple hundred bucks on everything i need and fully deck out a gba
if you go 2nd hand you could get all this for nothing
I’m lucky to have found your channel. I always wanted to do this but never had the guts to do it. And i’ve mod my first GB DMG-1 and can’t wait to do a GBC mod
Yo! Great job man, and hey you won a prize 😂
@@L0rdOfThePies Haha yeah i’m sooooo super happy 🤣
I’m glad you used the original silicones. I don’t care what anyone says all the company’s that remake them they just don’t feel like the Nintendo ones. The new ones are was to stiff that I’ve tried from a few company’s.
Elliot, I have a particular weakness for the Pocket Classic design. Those are lovely.
Elliot do you have any other sick nasty pocket knives? That Snap Lock knife distracted me for a good minute 😂👍
These videos are so fun and peaceful to watch it really calms me down thank you I love your videos
One day i'll order everything and mod my GBA how I want, until then (and even after), i'll keep watching every upload.
Love all ur vids but your gameboys are always so chill and relaxing
This is simply why you are so awesome man. Keep being you man

I'm actually worried about retro modding not restocking anything on gameboy color stuff :(
His content is always so fulfilling keep it up with the good w
nice thumbaround at the beginning of the video
Yes Elliot! I love your tutorials on building these and look forward to when you bang this content out! ❤
I love your content man, when ever I just wanna have a chill day I watch your stuff
Now you have to revert the damage on that select button and see if the button doesn't work 5 times out of 10
nice. i’ve wanted a gameboy for sooo long.
As for the switch issue. I've only run across 1 that I actually had to disassemble to fix.
The dmg style pocket is my favorite version, but the aftermarket shells and lenses get the text color so wrong
If I ever own a game boy and don’t put in a rechargeable battery imma get some of those rechargeable AA bats
6:00 What is he referring to here? Doesn't go into much detail. Sounds like an extension of sorts for the color change button?
They ended up so cute!
I bet after he's done he felt like Thanos, now I rest and watch the sunrise.
Make a long gameboy, but it takes Famicom cartridges.
I love the gameboy pocket. My absolute favorite of the original GB line.
Mine too. What’s your favorite game for it?
@@arey256 I would have to say.........Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins.
Never played that one, I did however play super Mario land. Which also happens to be my favorite one for the game boy pocket

you're a good friend! jealous haha
Excellent battery removal technique. 👌
Ok, if you won those biding, I may have been up against you for a bit. Both of those look familiar 😆
Nice work,they look great!
I prefer the green original color of game boy pocket
I just instantly go on youtube when notification about your new video pops up, keep up the good work
Is Eargasm the right word to describe Elliot's voice in this video.
aw man, i love these videos! i want to mod handhelds so badly. i have a couple DS lites i picked up for modding but I'm just a little worried about those ribbon cables 😅
anybody else recognize the audio track as the same 1 Michael MJD uses as the outro in his videos?
Zinc carbon batteries? Wow. Even Elliot is hit by the cost of living crisis 😉
Great video - love these classic modding videos.
Oh those look amazing! I think I could manage to replace a shell but I'd be scared to do a screen 😬
Is there a way to mod a gb pocket to play gbc games in color? If you could that would be awesome. I loved my game boy pocket when I was a child. So many hours playing. Good memories
To this video I bestow my highest honor...Watching while I eat dinner. Great video as always, keep up the good work.
I have a gameboy pocket with a burnt screen that I need to replace but it doesn’t have the led power light as well. I can not find a place that sells lenses that accommodate that. Any suggestions?
EBay
Nice video!
What's with the dead pixel on the middle gameboy at the end?
Beautiful
This is some really Nice stuff!
Nice to watch, relaxing...
At the end, why did the GameBoy in the center have a red light in the LED hole, but the other two did not?
Don't dismantle your switch. Voultar doesn't even do that. He does the same thing you do.
Damn I wish I was your friend man haha
Great mod!
Eyyyy, I have the same gameboy mug!
Yo forget about screwdriver, I wanna know about that cool knife. Please link european site if there is one for this knife!
How many times can I watch someone take apart a Gameboy? 🤣
I’d love to try this. I’d never had a gameboy when I was younger because they were too expensive for me. Would be great to correct this failure! Where would one find the parts? Sendico? How much is one looking to pay. (From U.K.). Thank you sir.
Michael MJD music on in the background
Love RetroModding, thanks to you they've had several orders from me the past few months! You hear that RM? ~sponsor this man~
Is the soundtrack to this coffeehouse jazz royalty free?!?!?
i want one so bad 😩 and i’d love to play pokémon on one some day
where can i sign up to be your friend? Lol. Great work
How to apply as your friend so someday I can have your amazing gameboy mods?
2:19
Michael MJD Outro???

Do you take commissions for these? Because this is truly incredible work!!
Those look so dope!
damn, sometimes i just wish i had friends
Just curious. What do you do with the original shells
Their awesome ❤️ good job
