Recently I've been getting gameboy mod video recommendations. Thanks to your videos I felt comfortable enough mod an old gameboy advanced with a V5 laminated screen and new shell and buttons.

Relatively new subscriber here, I just followed this to mod my friends' GBA and it was perfect, thank you for the easy to follow tutorial!

[adamkane]

I can't wait for your comparison video next week, Jake!

[DutchZippy]

I did it, thanks dude! Your video really helped, I was not confident.

[eeveeblazelol]

i’m glad you mentioned you were releasing your ips roundup soon, i was close to just buying a kit but i’m glad i didn’t so i can wait

[corro_gaming]

I just swapped my screen in following this video. tysm!! 🙏

[jeremyjones]

[heisenkirb]

Super excited to install this mod, it’s gonna be my first screen mod for my AGB GBA! I’ve been watching GBA modding content for years now, but this is my first time actually doing it. The original OEM LCD broke a while ago partially due to weakening from a massive heat wave in my region, so I decided to finally bite the bullet to mod my GBA. Can’t wait for the screen mod to arrive so I can install it!

Banger video as always! I'm about to buy another one of this kit to mod my second GBA, but I think I'm staying with the laminated version, the only downside for me is having to solder on the back of the screen, definitely anxiety inducing specially with my crappy 5$ soldering iron

You earned my sub from this video, I currently have a GBA on the way and I'm trying to mod all my Nintendo handhelds so I can pick one up (whichever I'm in the mood for) and play on the go, even with my Switch and soon the Switch 2 I've always loved older handhelds, even if they're not OLD old like with my 3DS.

TL:DR you're helping me a lot by posting this, thanks

After reviewing all the available options and watching your videos (and generally doing hours of research online), I've decided to get this kit. I think I'm lucky to have an original GBA that's barely been used. I think it used to be my cousin's or something but he never used it and it's been sitting in a box in a closet for 20 years. I still have my SP but I feel like it's too small for my adult hands so I much prefer the original GBA shell.

Hopefully it goes well.

hey man thanks so much for making this video, with it i was able to do the solderless version and make the red and white gameboy i always wanted. thanks again!

[PhillyChzStak]

I have an older GBA and I think this and the USB-C charge pack are the only mods I'm going to do to my childhood console. Maybe swap out the buttons too with a similar color to the OEM ones on my model. Give it a metaphorical "fresh coat of paint" to continue working well into the future.

Love these. I'd love to see some sort of video on the different types of shells available and how they work with all the different IPS kits. It's all so confusing. I've been eyeing one of those shiny Aurora shells, but not sure if it'd work with a laminated IPS.

[James_D.]

I didn’t notice that you swapped the two GameBoys for the menu tutorial! 😅

[Det.johnkimble]

How much would everything cost? I dont have a gameboy advance

[davidcasterline]

If we don't have an OEM shell, and don't want to trim, what shell should we buy? I think in another one of your videos you mentioned a shell that is an exact replica of the OEM....

[NoahStanley]

So I can just cut off those wires that you soldered and nothing else will be damaged

[coldcanida]

What would you do in the case that the two screws holding down the motherboard are really really grinded down?
