those extra screws are pocket screws. put them in your pocket and let them disappear naturally
to the land of the missing socks, they go!
Toss them in with your pocket sand, sh sh sh Sha!
Great insight
We call them bush screws in the copier industry. They're the screws you toss into the bushes when you leave a job site.
Once you buy the mod and rip your Pocket apart, and do the mod, Analogue will release their own metal version for $50 more than a regular one. Then you shake your fist at the sky.
Yeah, but it'll be so limited stock you wouldn't've gotten one anyway
For $200, they should’ve included a precision cut one piece of adhesive for the screen that matches the quality of the original.
There's probably a decent overlap between "has an Analogue Pocket they don't use" and "have too much money", so I imagine there's a decent market for this mod.
That is an astute observation. When I first heard about the Analogue Pocket I went from "sounds amazing" to "who would buy this?" very quickly when I saw the price and the limited functionality. So I assume the aftermarket scene for it contains only people who, er, don't mind spending a lot on a little.
the rattle and the goofy logo on the back makes this a no for me, especially at such a high price. but thank you for showing the process!
Looks like the guy didn’t even bother with prototypes
Ah, good. I always wanted a Gameboy I could beat a man to death with.
funny
Get a metal dmg shell and you’ll really have a hefty brick for some murder.
My friend, you can do that with any Gameboy. Now the plastic or hinge might get a little worse for wear, but if you're using a Gameboy for murder, remember that no matter how sturdy your Gameboy case is, it isn't water proof and blood is basically red water.
You become a game man after that
Just use the original Gameboy.
13:25 thats something i wish was on the actual Pocket. Im always scared im gonna drop the stupid thing but a slot to put a wrist strap in would be nice
It's actually good that they used a different screw head type because it means people won't confuse the original screws for the machine screws you need to use with this aluminum shell.
But at that point should you really be doing this anyway?
I wonder what this guy thinks of pit fighter
Different screw types is going to be inherent in switching from plastic screws to machine screws you'll need for the metal enclosure. Granted it may be feasible to keep the driver types the same depending on head size and what not. Really the Torx screw is an upgrade.
Also with the adhesive, if you're really desperate for some solid adhesive buy yourself some 3M 467MP. It's called Adhesive Transfer Tape, basically a VHB tape (heavy duty) version of double sided sticky tape without the Cellulose backing, so it's just the adhesive.
Yea the torx screws would have been a nice upgrade, except those were the original screws. The new ones were ph00
As someone who got bored and changed the buttons on my pocket go… this looks intense and I build watches for fun lol
I’ve seen Russ from Retro Game Corps throw some small squares of packing tape underneath his d-pad & rattling buttons, seemed to do well in reducing movement and noise.
Catching up on old Nontendo bonus episodes and I could have sworn Zim was your dog not Hannah’s that’s so funny! Ps the analog pocket looks amazing
6:08: I imagine Scotch could help you in some ways with inserting the new frame.... oh you mean the tape.
That was the cutest ad everrrr 😭😭😭😭
huh... Linus just had the EXACT opposite complaint in a similar situation. He was mad that a the GBC FPGA kit used the SAME tri-wing screws that the gameboy uses and said the kit should "JUST USE phillips"
I would say, if the kit changes from torx to philips OR changes from Tri-wing to Philips that makes the mod MORE tinker friendly.
That being said, Torx or Tri-wing is probably a better screw to use if you DON'T want the device taken apart.
Torx > Philips.
every switch/joycon shell replacement I've gotten includes phillips screws to replace the tri wing screws with, which is nice because it's a more common bit, but way less nice because they're cheaper metal and strip really easily - especially if you use the wrong size phillips bit
These devices are getting way more expensive than they need to be. Kind hard as a consumer but I rarely buy these things but I do enjoy watching your channel! Great videos as always and your ads are hilarious 😂
Btw in aliexpress, there are those RG35XX H covers that feel nice, I want to tell you, it makes the RG35XX H more comfy there are like 3 colors from what I know.
I just did a button swap on my pocket. Someone on etsy makes epoxy buttons and I got the black and orange to go with my orange pocket. Looks way better than the mono color scheme
IIRC the stickers are to cover the external screws to hide their unsightliness.
I like the look of the exposed screws on the side but you are probably right.
This channel is dedicated to handhelds!?!!?!!🤯 The Gameboy is my all time favorite system by far.
So much power...in the palm of your hands!!!
Anytime you have metal buttons on a metal shell, get yourself some foam tape. 1mm thick or less should do it. I made a Gameboy Advance SP Unhinged and goddamn did it rattle. I rummaged through my parts bin and found some foam tape bits that come with DS lite replacement shells. I cut that up into little squares and various shapes and placed them all strategically. 4 tiny squares on the D-pad where it contacts the interior of the shell, 2 tiny bits on the sides of each face button and various bits in certain places on the interior of the shoulder buttons to stop those from hitting the shell. Checked for clearance issues before I put it all back together and boom - no more stupid rattle.
I have a CNC aluminum shell for my GBA and that required different screws too. I think it has to do with the screw durability, the length, and maybe the shape of the screw threads. Fastening different materials requires different fasteners I guess.
Missed opportunity to name the video ‘This is NOT a plastic Analogue Pocket’ 😂
The rubber circles are so that your analog pocket doesnt sit on the table. Ittl keep your device nice for longer so its not scratching against the table
i really appreciate the extra stuff you do to make sponsor spots feel fresh
I think the adhesive dots are to cover the screw holes?

Rush Hour 2... no wait, sorry... Pit Fighter
That metal mod looks amazing but I think I will stick with admiring yours. Just curious but does it fit in the official Analogue Pocket dock?
Completely unrelated, but that Fuji X100VI does look good :D
Plasic shells feel better
It just depends, i have an RG351M with its all metal body and it feels amazing, the quality of something youd find in a nintendo product. My friend got the gamecube purple Plastic version and even though i prefer it's looks, the feeling is just not as good. I understand that plastic in particular can feel very different depending on the quality, i always thought the DS Lite and 3DS had good feeling plastics, but the PSP plastics felt cheap, especially the glossy ones, it creaks so much.
The four months thing was actually hilarious, I love when mistakes just get obviously dubbed over 😂
Loving the "Another Code Recollection" in the background!
"Another" great video, Bob!
Great job Bob, I couldn't finish the stream so good to see it finished.
In case anyone was curious, the site is showing all colors sold out.
It’s a nice idea, I do feel the pocket plastic shell is a bit fragile, feels nice but easy to scratch and doesn’t hold up to regular use.
How were you able to get PSOne running on the pocket? And is running smoothly or laggy?
Bro went FULL METAL for gaming 🤘🤘
This is GLORIOUS!
that looks like your cartridges would be wobbling around and holding on for dear life...
Is bob a professional copywriter? His ads are hilarious.
You should have gotten 3M high temp double sided tape. There are people who sell sheets of it on eBay so you don't have to buy a giant roll.
this looked like such a cool mod but OOF on that button noise.
The rubber circles are likely to cover the screwholes especially if they are indented for the rubber circles. Same stuff sony and such companies have done for years, Wii U gamepad etc.
Is it possible to order the metal buttons only?
Hi, what is that electric screwdriver that you used? It doesn’t seem to be in your description.
Does the new dpad fix the issue with false diagonal inputs?
Damn.. it costs just as much for this shell that it does for the Pocket itself!
I know I’m not the intended audience for the analogue but it baffles me that a mod for such and expensive device would have such harsh rattle. Something like my of RG35XX has rattle but I didn’t pay nearly this much for one. Entertaining video regardless as I always enjoy alternative perspectives to mine :)
Regret buying this thing after it erased my Pokémon Emerald save file, don't use the sleep feature.
Oh, I think that happened to me, but I had save states so it was fine
Always backup saves from cartridges. They can get erased on original hardware too it’s nothing new. old Nintendo cartridges are incredibly susceptible to corruption. Either use save states if it’s available or get a backup tool like GB Operator or FP Burnmaster
It could be a battery issue, idk
@@nickthemage2052well now im nervous.
I'd pissed fucking livid
having rounded edges would be enough for me. But the metal would stop the cracking issues LOL
This mod looks so cool, but I will say that glow in the dark would have been my impulse purchase (Reminds me of the solid glow in the dark -with a black batman symbol yo-yo I had when I was 3 . thankfully it's gone and i'll never get a chance to spend rent $ on one now.
Nice idea I hope Boxy Pixel comes out with some options for the Analogue Pocket at some point.
"I'm not downloading pit-fighter.... i'm seeding pit-fighter" I yelled out I KNEW IT!
I wonder if you did something similar to a “Force Break Mod” like what people do on custom keyboards would it help with rattle?
Spend all that money... cheap-out on the double sided tape!?!
Thats some solid gear
Some would say metal solid gear. Or even metal gear solid
A handheld to surpass metal gear.
Love the intro. If you go on the pocket subreddit it’s just people posting their 5 analogue pockets, half of them still in box and then complaining about artificial scarcity.
1:33 funny how you said you feel it’s a crime using it because it’s so sought after with the Fujifilm in the same frame. Feel the same way about my X100V! But I believe that’s an 100F but points the same
Damn it. I have so many Gamboys and every Boxy Pixel game boy. I was avoiding the pocket because I know I don’t beed it but now I want it.
As much as i love these metal shell replacements, it sucks i will never use one.
Not because of price but because I'm allergic to metal! Hold or touching metal for to long fucks my skin up royally and having a portable system like this to play would just hurt. That said I do like the base colored ones they have, i just wish they had the dark none transparent purple one like Nintendo use to make for the Gameboy Color since that was the one i had when i was little.
i can cnc that case for around 60$ with paint thats a high mark up na just saying
the random circles were probably some sort of screen adhesive and or rubber feet for the analog so you can put it down on its back without risk of scratching the 200$ case........ or they are just useless 🤷
Love the intro music
can you use the original dpad and buttons?
I remember watching mahko do this mod and I noped out when I saw the screen pull lmao
The doggo gets me everytime!!!! Glad I got surfshark😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hear me out, a heat gun is also nice because it'll help ya bend/mold plastic. Aka your 3d prints
Can't believe they screwed around on the fasteners like that. Bits please.
I see what you did there.
Dang. Thought this was a new one
We ended up getting this one.
IDK if we will get the metal shell. At least something just in case damage happens.
those cores make it worth wile.
Hey on the go.
We have those consoles anyways.
This is GLORIOUS
Those useless black circular sticky tabs mentioned near the start of the teardown were probably for sticking the screen to the metal shell, which is likely why there were no strips of double sided tape supplied.
Na they only have adhesive on one side of the dot thingy, that wouldn’t work for holding a screen down. More than likely they were meant to be put in the holes where the screws go to hide them
@@calebcretella2472maybe they were meant to hold the screen in with pressure?
@@lookingprettydambdead717 how would they hold the screen in with pressure? I’m pretty sure they’re just screw hole covers. Like the ds family of devices and gameboy advances used
Are those circular tabs for covering screws?
Nope lol
I remember previously wanting to have an Analogue Pocket, now I couldn't have less interest I don't think...
I sold my pocket because Theo hated the dpad. It just never felt right playing Metroid or Mario. I got a SP 101 and love its dpad. I wish I could have the pockets screen and build quality.
That logo looks like The Finals' Logo
Aren’t those stickers to cover the screw holes? Or maybe it’s supposed to be like the rubber pads on consoles
I think it might be time for me to whip my Pocket Glow back out and get those extra cores on there!
I will wait until Nick from Boxy Pixel makes one. lol
Was that the main theme from Picross?
Wait when did they do the Color drop? I never even saw it :(
I would do this mod if the shell shipped out for like $80 lol
Just waiting for back plate mod by cupojoe252 , that improves the cartridges guard and shoulder button
I was told there'd be a link to that screwdriver
What is the music at around 11:20?
i wish it has wood style plastic case with saturn style dpad and 6 butoon mod...lol😂
The doggooooo :3
Pocket is cool, buuuuuuuuuuut it’s expensive as fudge.
It’s the “Apple” of handheld haha
I love it when mods come with a different type of screw, i dont understand what you are made about?!
looks clean
Imagine not using Pocket Sync.
Ya HUNGRY 🙏🏼
With the price and the rattle, I don't think that I could see myself picking it up.
But I don't even own an Analogue Pocket so I don't think that's a problem
Try turning the Analogue Pocket into a GBA horizontal form factor?
I wonder how much Taki Udon's MiSTer handheld is gonna cost.
My favourite Zim skit!
Bob, do you know of any emulation handhelds sized and shaped like the PSP or maybe PS Vita that run Android? I want to play AM2R then emulate Metroid: Fusion on a PSP or similar, but I'm stuck with the awful Razor Kishi on a phone with huge black bars on the sides.
All screws should be torx.
Pit fighter! Pit fighter!
