next video: "Making the Gamecube a sphere for no reason"
So, it would be a Gamesphere?
_Spherical_
Wait, you don’t own an Okama Gamesphere???
Ricardo Gonveda it’s spherical!
s p h e r i c a l
YES! THIS IS THE WAY.
We need a quad screen DS lol
I can do a triple screen ds
3DS
And a double screen gameboy color
I read that as a dual screen ds and I was like what
We need it so bad
Dont give him ideas
When I saw it the first time, i asked myself "why?".
Now i know it is gonna be sell as a Kit, i ask myself "Why not?"
You're like Scott the Woz's Wii Play videos in reverse.
We all went a little bit crazy during the lockdown.
We can now make this cursed thing ourselves...
It's a gimmick, It's ugly, It has no purpose... And I love it
Larger screen/long form gba next
Reminds me of myself
Thank you for this. Ever since I was a young boy I wanted to play my Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP edition games on 2 screens at once but the evil people at Nintendo wouldn't let me. Thanks to you I am now able to rest well knowing I'll be able to play my games on two screens at once. thank you again Elliot you've made a boys dream come true.
I love how excited you were throughout the video!! It really shows that this project is your baby and I'm very happy for you as a subscriber
From the “because I can” department
I know this video is old, but it warmed my heart so much. You are so sweet for helping small niche businesses, I love how you run your UA-cam channel like a diy record label. Keep up the good work brotha!!
I’m ready for the Quad screen DS
But why stop there, really, when we can have an OctoDS?
@@Deses because 8 screens would probably blow a fuse, I imagine that the power circuit for the screens was never designed to carry a load like that, also there wouldn't really be space for 8 screens the entire shell and inner workings would have to be completely redone oh, it's not as easy as with the Gameboy SP where you can just add another screen on top of the one that's already there
I think a better idea would be to make a DS lite in the shape of a 2DS, basically a DS lite without a hinge but not lacking a screen like the Gameboy macro, the idea is that since the hinges break so easily you're eliminating the problem and the benefit of this over a 2DS is that it will still be able to play GBA games
This is perfect for when little ones wanna lean on your shoulder and watch you play, you don't have to angle it strangely to make your audience comfortable.
I'm so excited to grab this, man. Thank you, and JBC for making this possible!
This is probably my favorite modern art. That the original has two broken screens feels so appropriate, though I do want to see the original scratch built case with the new pcb in it to feed two screens.
It is said that if you go crosseyed and tilt your heard 90 degrees this will restore the gameboy advances lost 3d functionality.
4:34 HE SAID DREMEL!!!!!!! We have got improvement. Good Job!
You are the Dr. Frankenstein of Nintendo handhelds. Brilliant!
I waited for this forever
That white plastic is quite sheer, you can see through it very easily once assembled.
Not once have I thought that someone would actually make this now here we are having it being produced for the world to see
in 20 yrs hes gonna be restoring one of these
Dear God, we've gone too far
We asked ourself if we can, but not if we should.
In all seriousness, this is pretty cool

Nice
Glad I didn’t have to wait to see the better try hahah! This is so cool, really awesome it worked out!
Well, mad lad Elliot actually made it a kit. Jeez man you’re crazy
I recently did a shell replacement and IPS install on my sp after watching one of your videos. So that means I have an extra sp shell and screen sitting around...
Original + IPS would be a fun combo.
So awesome! Looks like it came out great in the end. So cool to see something from Jellybelly on TRF, too. :)
You should make one that projects the screen down on the table or wall and call it the no screen gameboy advanced sp.
So this confirms that you can make a consolizer of this without sacrificing the screen. 😁
Kid in 2007: Goes to school within this.
Every one: OMG it’s a game boy advanced sp ds!!!
You should make a playlist called: I changed the look of a game console for no reason!!!
That was real cool of them to type your quote on the the little board
Now use that shell to make a DS SP
I didn't expect you to go back to the project FAST--
That would look great with an original Gameboy game in the cart slot, with the extra length of the second screen it would probably be close to flush !
Don’t know how you come up with these ideas but keep it up!
It's been a long week without a video. Thankfully this other channel The Retro Future 2 has been uploading some quality content while i waited for a new The Retro Future video.
Sorry!
To answer a few questions:
"Ah man why you killing 2 gameboys?" : Your not, you can use aftermarket shells and everything with the original hardware can be removed, nothing is damaged. Also lots of spare 001 LCDs out there on ebay with the rise of the IPS mods to the consoles. Your repurposing not killing.
"Why not 3d print the LCD face with the hinge" : Simply because the hinge needs to be strong and needs to work. A 3d print isn't the right thing to do in that area it wouldn't be strong enough
"Can I have the STL?" in short no. Would the KFC colonel give away his secret blend of herbs and spices?
"Will 2 IPS LCDs work" NO!!!! The SP only just has enough power for one, so 2 I highly doubt it
Thanks for the support tho guys it been a blast working on this with Elliott, so ill get the changes made and get it on sale for those that want it
Looks good and thank you for putting in the work!!! What made you decide to go with sticking a modified case under the 2nd screen vs making your shell hold the screen? Wouldn't you be able to get a smaller gap between the 2 screens?
Not trying to criticize just curious about your process. Thanks again!
So...
Can we call you Colonel Jellybeans from now on?
$50 is incredible value for some custom plastic parts and a hand soldered PCB. I wouldn't want to make that for less than $100
That's cool, really
But why
Even theoretically, why
You should be asking "why not"
Really good question.
Two wasted good GBA consoles just to double the picture while halving the battery life...
Yeah I also don’t see any reason nor have any will to do it
becuz it *C O O L*
@@piccolo3291 not at all. It's completely impractical.
You should merge 2 ds lites together at the sides, it would be the first ever 4ds!
I want one myself
using strong filament you should be able to design a dual screen holder with the dimensions of the gameboy's shell, would fit better too
Me: Mum I want a DS
Mum: We already have a DS at home
The DS at home:
Just checked where JellyBelly Customs is based only to find they are two streets away from where I live how cool is that!!!
Love your videos Elliot! ❤️
I really want a GameBoy Micro 😂
You can use retro futures video making a gameboy macro out of a ds
If you meant Micro, they already exist and they are _extremely_ rare. I should've picked one up in a pawn shop when I had the chance.
If you meant Macro, he already did a video on it
No a micro
Eyyy another video Hard work pays off
Aight. We need to extend the bottom piece so it closes properly and install a ds lite mother board in there
Sounds like a plan.
Next mod sorted. Thank you.
There was a better way to do the original one.
Scratch off the coating of the ribbon, right where it comes out of the board of the IPS, for the bottom display. Do it in a small staggered way to make it easier. Then use some solder mask to seal it back up, and that'll fix the ribbon cable issue.
This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!
I can just imagine someone who doesn't know who you are seeing you casually playing with this on a train and be like: "wtf..."
Greetings from the US! I love all of your creations as well as the collabs you do with your friends. I might just order one and might make a GBA SP/NDS logo mashup for it haha! I need a project to do and this would look hilarious at a game con in the future. Maybe y'all should make a DS DS one day if you get crazy enough ha! Keep it up bud!
He’s back at it again! I love the red SP
So it's for you and someone else can watch you play too!
It's all fun and games until Esoteric Sean creates a triple screen version!
please make a version of this with 2 screens back to back, I think that would actually be pretty cool, inviting spectators
Will there be clear shells? Would be pretty dope to see the custom hardware.
That’s bloody excellent!
Had to wait for the last 15 seconds to lean the purpose of this mod. Great mod!
It is looking soooooo funny i want it😂😂😂
That's what the quarentine is doing with our elliot lol.
Gives me future console vibes
Ok Eliott, now you can call that definitely a proper dual screen sp. But only the purpose is really a search for now :P I have been thinking: the dual screen can do have an use for when you are hitting the sunlight too hard outdoors, so you can look at the other one :D haha.
Damn...!! That's awesome! You had a mad-moment (few hours) and created a pointless monster, and now someone else in a different country has picked-up the ball and made it a reality!! :-D
Wicked!! I really hope it sells well.... :-)
Now put some serious rims and hydraulics underneath and install a hifi system to roll to the next pimp-my-gba show 🤣
You start watching this and question yourself, why? Then you’re done watching this and ask yourself, why not?
Forget the majora's mask 3ds xl I've wanted for years. I'm getting one of these bois for my birthday
The ultimate flex would be to find a shiny pokemon. Then you would have the shiny on both screens🔥🔥🔥
You know what the next step is now, right?
Lengthen the bottom to match and put a third screen in.
This is so sick! Just curious about the design of that kit. Why does it need a faceplate piece + two original screen shell pieces? In my mind it would make more sense if the it came with a "dual" screen shell piece instead... but there might be something I'm not seeing? I just figure that way it would close properly as well.
Some people scrape the bottom of the idea barrel... Elliot just smashes through it!!!
Amazing I cant wait to get my hands on one of these
Make a siamese Gameboy!!! two gameboys glued next to each other and then filled and painted, or something like gameboy on one side and gameboy color on the other side, or an advance sp inside a nintendo ds or a nintendo ds inside a gameboy or a wii inside a gamecube or make the gameboy macro xli or how i call it the "snes portable" with a dsi xl and snes games (homebrew) or something with a gameboy micro, or create you own gameboy type with the shell of some other console like the game gear or a psp
some other ideas, I'm currently building a gameboy macro xl with a phat ds and stereo speakers from the switch, I also remove the ds slot and solder the L and R buttons to the Y and X so they can still be used and I plan to make a gameboy macro with a ds lite and custom faceplate in the future but without a gameboy slot, only the ds slot for a flashcart, then i will add a button to switch between the top and bottom screen, I will add iPhone 7 speakers aswell to make it really compact, I had also the idea to make second shoulder buttons next to L and R for pressing A and B, or to make a gameboy with rapid fire buttons, so you can hold the A or B button down and it will press them continously again and again, useful for pokemon games together with an overclock module to play the games faster, and another cool idea could be a controller from a console like the xbox with a gameboy sp screen and a gameboy sp inside the controller, the controller mainboard could be removed and some arduino parts used instead, soldered to the gameboy sp mainboard, more ideas I had are building a ds lite with a rumble pak installed and the wires from the rumble pack - mainboard are soldered to multiple (2 for example) rumble motors inside the case, so you can only play ds games but with a really nice and way better rumble experience (I know there arent many rumble supported games but why not)
or how about an apple ipod classic inside a gameboy advance sp, a usb flash drive inside a gameboy advance cartridge, somethin cool with a transparent shell and leds, gameboy with a thumbstick, clicky buttons for the ds lite, ds lite without backlight just a normal screen, gameboy inside a 3ds, something with raspberry pi zero, ds lite with second battery instead of a gba slot, gameboy macro xl from a ds phat with one screen in the front and another screen in the back, gameboy color without colors, vape inside a still working gameboy dmg, gameboy dmg as a tv remote, gameboy dmg as an external usb harddrive for the computer, gameboy advance with something like a mini subwoofer or really loud or huge speakers, gameboy with a flashlight or laser pointer inside, something with the other ds module packs like the motion pack or the ram pack for the ds browser
Gonna have to try that
Thanks for that amusement;)
You need to make a gba sp that's display is only visible when you close it (i.e. flip the screen)
yeah that should be a lot of fun to pl....oh wait a minute......
First. That is an amazing 2 screen Gameboy!
Nice one
This ismso amazing and sensless at the same time. I love it.
love your videos elliot!
Everybody else: 5p dollars is expensive
Me, who spent 500 on Nintendo Switch consoles and plans to buy special editions and the Switch Pro: **sweating**
Very nice! And just because..... I Love it!
Nice man
You know what this needs? A fold out panel for the top screen. 1. It'll make it EVEN LONGER. 2. It can act as a sun shield for the screen increasing visibility. 3 it'll protect the top screen. 4. it's absolutely stupid 5. It'll make it EVEN LONGER. 674. It'll make it EVEN LONGER.
Ok, now it is time for a Gameboy Advance SPXL!!!!
This with the new LCD screens would be fire OR a two person gameboy with a set of controllers on either side so that way one screen isn't hanging off the side imagine doing pokemon battles or mariokart
imagine your friend is bragging about their new ps5 then you humble them by whipping out your double screen gameboy
Nice job Elliot
in the next episode:
Elliot: My friend Matthew at Jelly Belly Customs has been working around the clock to bring us a kit, endorsing religion by putting the Game Boy's d-pad in the middle............for religious reasons.
The physical representation of the smartest kid in my class
I had to order Warioland 4 because I saw it in your video and I wanted it
Lol itll be here on the 19th
My problem is the shell is a bit to transparent, you can see the board through it
What requirements do you have for the handhelds you collect? E.g. condition, authentic parts or not, etc. Is it possible to confirm authenticity?
Still dont understand why people want 2 screens with the same gameplay lol
good.
for no reason
Because it's awesome
No reason really. Just a hobby.
Plus if you have upgraded a couple SPs you might have extra 001 screens
Me: Why don't you make the screens side by side?
Retro guy: Why?
Me: For no reason.
I was literally watching the other dual screen gba sp video and this came 😂
Damn that gameboy looking fine
Absolutely, completely and utterly pointless, and I love it! Looks great Elliot!
A single Screen DS, a Duel screen GBA, what next, a Virtual Boy that outputs to a TV?!
Okay, lets be REAL for second... This is scaleable now. GIVING THE GBA SP 10 SCREENS FOR NO REASON!
Now we need a landscape dualscreen gba
