- Retro Renew Episode Description: Step-by-step tutorial on how to install the RIPS IPS V2 kit into a Gameboy DMG console.
In today’s episode of Retro Renew, we’re going to finish refurbing the Game Boy DMG-01 that I bought from Japan. To really make this DMG shine, I decided to install the RIPS IPS V2 kit. This kit is offered by multiple vendors, but I decided to go with Console5. The reason being is that their version of this kit comes with a 3D printed bracket to align the panel making this an enjoyable and accessible install. Join me as we observe how this IPS kit can transform the gaming experience of a 30 year old Gameboy console!
So here's what you will find in this video:

For a channel that just started a couple of months ago, the quality of production and content is amazing. It's such a crime you don't have more subscriber.
Thank you Javier!
Such a great tutorial. This channel is so under rated! We just shared it on our community page, we hope it helps. ❤️
Thank you so much dude! I really appreciate the share! It really means a lot to me! Cheers!!
These videos deserve way more likes. So considered, no histrionics, very detailed.
Thank you Robert! So glad you are enjoying the videos! Cheers!
The production value in your videos blows my mind.
Thanks you Marcos!
Completely blown away by your videos. Their quality completely out-classes videos with 100x subscribers
Thank you Joel! That really means a lot dude! Cheers!
Awesome job bro! Don’t get tired of such great production, your videos are wow, keep it like that, greetings from Mexico💫🪐🇲🇽
Greetings Ricardo! It's a lot of hard work but I plan to keep it up! Cheers!
your presentation and production value is absolutely insane, easily the best repair/mod/retro tech channels i've ever seen
Thank you backprints!!
Love the style of these videos, especially that intro! IMO this is the best video that showcases the improvement in quality of the new IPS DMG screens
Thank you Sachintha! That means a lot! Cheers!
Awesome to see your subscribers double so quickly! Can’t wait for the 3do mod video 👌
Thank you Ryan! It’s been a wild past few days! 3DO mod is in the queue. Should be a good one!
These videos are really very good, I subscribed yesterday and I don't understand how this channel doesn't have any more subs. Above you make just today a video of my favorite Gameboy.
Greetings from Argentina and keep it up Tito 👍
Greetings Victor!! Thank you dude! The DMG is also one of my favorites!
Another great video - loving the production values.
Much appreciated! Thank you cedarstuff! Cheers!
you somehow managed to even improve your already incredibly high production value in such a short amount of time. props for that tito! i am also happy to see that you doubled your subscribers since the last time i checked. i am very happy for you, definitely deserve it! i just love the attention to detail you put into your production, for example the line that connects the 3d printed bracket to its description text. as well as when you mention to put in two screws into the back housing that you use the top left and bottom right screw to ensure an even tension on the case. these details do not go unnoticed! thanks again and keep doing what you do, its great stuff!
Patrick, thank you so much! I'm so happy that enjoy the videos and notice all the details!! Also, thank you for they very kind words! I'm just happy that you are liking the videos! Cheers bud!
The quality, content and presentation of your videos blow me away, making the slight jitter of the Lynx in your intro frustrating ;)
Keep up the great work.
Thank you chipsteroni! Haha, I was hoping no one would notice that! Cheers!
Great video again.
But I had to rewatch the intro with the spinning consoles. Great idea, great music, just perfect.👍
Thank you Saul! Happy you enjoy the intro! Cheers!
And congrats on reaching 1k! Told ya this has amazing potential keep up the great work
Thank you dude! That really means a lot! I really appreciate the wonderful comments and the encouragement from you these past months!
Cool video as usual, I've never really went crazy about the dmg because it was actually the gameboy color the one that I used as a kid, but this video really made me want one and probably mod it with a rips v3 when it comes out
You should definitely look into getting a DMG. I dont think you will be disappointed! It's really something to experience to be playing something that is over 30 years old and still have a lot of fun. Cheers bud!
Awesome video man!
Thanks! Cheers!
Hey! Been really enjoying your videos I’ve been trying to get into retro modding for a while but all the UA-camrs I had watched have done pretty advanced kits that I really Don’t have the experience for. I found your channel and you made very simple but really informative videos on many different kits and so finally I’ve used your part 3 gameboy color backlight mod kit that you used and ordered it! You deserve a lot more subscribers! Thanks for these tutorials I hope that my modding process can go as well as yours do! :)
That’s awesome! I’m so happy you found my videos helpful! Best of luck on your project! Cheers!
Macho Nacho Productions thanks! I’ll comment on your most recent video when I’m done and let you know how it goes 👍
Sounds good!
Hope that both yourself and the viewers are keeping safe💟
Thank you! You too!
another great upload Tito! the original dmg looks great with a new screen
Thanks Lee! Totally, it's a real game changer!
Your ads have been spamming my Instagram feed. I finally gave in and here I am. Subscribed!
Oh man sorry about that dude! Really glad you're here though! I hope you enjoy channel! Cheers!
Thanks, waiting for V3 kit is a better option.
Awesome bro i dont have a dmg in my collection yet but i will!
Nice dude! It's definitely an awesome piece of gaming history!
Looks really good!
Fantastic job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hola tito felicitaciones por todas esas ganas que le pones a los videojuegos y que te vaya super bien con lo que haces, se me hace muy entretenido tu canal aunque me cueste traducir lo que dices jaja saludos y que siga lo bueno 🤙😁😃
Muchas gracias Kenny!
nice
Hey, great video- new fan of the channel here, I bought a Gameboy DMG to install the V3 of this kit you've reviewed. In your experience what is the best flash cart for playing GB/GBC games?
Hey Strykerking! Thank you so much for kind words and subscribing to the channel!! I currently use the Krikzz flash cart and love it, I totally recommend it! I haven’t tried the ez flash, but I’ve heard good things about it too. I think you should be good with either! Hope that helps buddy! Cheers!
I'd love to see if you can a full comparison for this Vs. AGS 101 + GB Boy Colour
Great idea!
Thumbs up and like :)👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you vap0rvic! Cheers!
@@MachoNachoProductions welcome:)
Nice video! Are you planning to do a video on the Game Boy Color IPS?
Stay tuned for this Thursday’s video release! I think you’ll be interested! 😉
Macho Nacho Productions HYPE 🙌
Have you tried removing a layer of varnish supposedly covering the contacts? I've just read that if you use a light abrasive (like the green part of the scrub sponge) it might solve the problem. I have this model (untouched so far so eligible for return) and I am on the fence if I should install it or return it.
That's really interesting. I'll have to look into this. Is it documented somewhere that the manufacture put a varnish layer over the contacts? Thanks for the tip! Cheers!
@@MachoNachoProductions Just hearsay really but I am curious if it will work.
I’ve installed this in an aftermarket dmg shell and buttons and I had zero issues with button response. Perhaps the shell is slightly different from stock. I also did not have to trim any plastic or pins to get the brightness wheel to work. I did have to back out the screw on that side a quarter turn, however. It seems I was lucky to get a kit that worked so well.
Could be. That would be interesting to see if there are small differenced in the OEM vs aftermarket shell. Glad your install went smoothly! Cheers!
Is there anyway to resolve the button issues with this mod?
The thing that I find which helps the most is using OEM Nintendo button membranes as well as loosening the screws a bit on the PCB near the button as well as on the rear shell. Just loosen a little, not too much. I hope that helps. Best of luck! Cheers buddy!
I’m still hopeful someone will release a true drop in backlit screen with no cutting to the shell
That would be great! Hopefully one day! Cheers!
I had my DMG in 1990 but I don't know if I could go back to using one again after using my GBC & GBP for so long with their smaller form factor, I also need to find a decent back lit screen for my GBP now!
I agree! Sometimes though, it's nice to play an older DMG for the nostalgia. If you're going for a Game Boy Pocket backlight, I highly recomend the IPS from FunnyPlaying! Absolutely amazing! Cheers!
@@MachoNachoProductions I need something that is easy to put in as I have 2 left hands haha!
The TFT LCD kit that are sold on ebay and AliExpress dont require modifying the shell. Those are probably the easiest to install. The only downside is the slightly small screen size. Cheers@
@@MachoNachoProductions Thanks for that, yeah I'm getting tired of having the smaller screen sizes now after playing my GBC light, I want the big GBP screen again, it looks huge compared to the others!
Will this be more visible in sunlight than the average Lcd backlight?
It may depend. I think a biverted and back kit original lcd may perform better in direct sunlight. But the IPS is an overall better performer in my opinion. Really depends on how you’ll be using the gameboy mostly.
min 7:52 .. the pcb gives a little bite to the membrane... that may be the pressure problem... maybe
Good eye Diego! That will be something good to check on! Thanks! Cheers!
I'm not sure how I feel about this mod, I would have enjoyed way more if the screen would have been made to fit the GB window.... mixed feelings on this mod.
isn't that pink light a bit TOO much?
I just got this exact kit, and the instructions sucked.
