I would love to see a special video where you build an "ultimate" modded GBA that utilizes as many mods as you can fit into a shell. HDMI, IPS, USB-C charging, LEDs, the WORKS!

[HedgehogYK]

9:49 I KNEW IT! There's a line tripler for 160x3=480p. That's exactly what I was hoping to see.

[ellaquin]

Pretty hyped for this, I don't expect it to be the same level as the consolizer (IDK how I butchered the spelling), but I hope it is better than the TV out from the IPS kits

[ButtholioTheGreat]

these GBA mods are never ending, I'm still waiting for IPS kits for the Phat DS, hopefully we start seeing those soon. I have been hoarding mint condition DS's for a while now before "collector inflation" gets to them

[JPHarringtonJr]

Damn I can't believe we're this far. HDMI out on GBAs is amazing. we're so close to just a switch style dock that we can drop our retro handhelds into. I think it could happen! One thing I really like about the composite GBA out was that it used those (borderline sketchy) cables that plug right into the link port on the GBA, I think that was so cool.

[ForeverWinter]

Honestly I think this might be the last true final mod for the GBA. If they get it on par with the consolizer on HDMI video out, and incorporate a Bluetooth adapter to use your preferred wireless controller or preferably a 8bitdo sn30.

[yoymate]

This honestly looks like the best solution out there for streaming/recording real console footage if you manage to find a capture card that gets the signal. Best of all, it’s quite cheap for a mod like this. I’m awestruck that we’re at a point where we can make HDMI-compliant boards that fit within the empty space inside a GBA shell.

Unrelated to the mod, I must say that, from the production quality of the video, I was expecting this to be a huge 5M+ sub channel that I’d somehow never heard of, perhaps even corporate even though it did not feel soulless. Y’all absolutely deserve more attention and I feel like it’s only a matter of time until you get to 1M.

I don't own a GBA, but find videos showing enhancements and mods like these fascinating. One thing that I thought that would be cool with this one in particular, would be if added Bluetooth functionality, so the user could play it with external gamepads, that would be awesome.

[SkyfighterZX]

basically your gameboy becomes a controller and console at the same time while plugged via hdmi, and goes back being a normal gameboy advance once disconnected, this is an amazing kit to say the least.

[Jakoliath]

Amazed at how simple the install was! And so glad something like this exists now. Great stuff!

[ThijsLiefhebber]

legit first youtuber in years I've seen with a clean iron... thank you! Good video, much appreciated

[athenovae]

Alas, the dockable switch lite I’ve been looking for 😂🥰

[briangilmartin]

Wow, it certainly didn't take long for someone to offer HDMI output since your last video of this type of mod! It's cool that it gives you good video quality without needing to consolize your GBA, though I wonder if future revisions could potentially offer more features?

[courtzace]

something like this for 3DS would be ideal, like a way to display the top screen on a TV/Monitor & still use the bottom touch screen would be rad!

[Incryptd]

I often forget you such a small channel your production value is always top notch keep up the great work

[mjc]

Shoutout to this custom Zelda shell that actually matched the game's logo to artwork from said game. Strange that this is noteworthy, but here we are.

[Jenisonc]

6:52.. I tried this last night and had a heck of a time soldering to those pads... Burnt right through one and had to scratch back the PCB green to expose the contact traces. Oops. Any tips?... I heated the pad first but maybe my heat was too high? May I ask what you set your iron to?

[Madblaster]

It’s crazy to think how much these mods have evolved after 3 years. Seems like options were scarce prior.

[AzurCross]

Man, you can’t help but head bang along when that Mach Nacho intro hits!

[DisguisedPigeonLOL]

I have to say that I'm glad this thing exists, especially because those consolizer kits were FAR too expensive and take FAR too long to ship. But I absolutely love my IPS GBA with composite out because it looks fantastic on my 16:9 CRT.
