The ULTIMATE 2022 GameBoy Color Mod

Get your screwdrivers out! This screen mod is just perfection. I sersiously have no idea how it will get better than this. And for the price? $65? Thats a lot less than the Analogue Pocket...

Massive thank you to Retro Modding for sending me all of this stuff.

I have covid.

I won’t let it stop me making videos. Stay tuned as I’ll be doing an ultimate build for all of the GameBoys.

Love you all x

Saw the thumbnail and thought the ultimate mod was just removing the buttons lmao, this is actually a really cool mod!! Didn't expect it to do the cool custom stuff, awesome video :]

[LordYamcha]

As much as I like the Analogue nothing will beat modding old Gameboys and giving them new life

[taylowlow]

This is why I love this channel. Elliot does this stuff at an affordable cost so he puts many people in consideration with his modding videos. When I mod my gbc I’m DEFINITELY gonna come back to this video. Thanks Elliot!

This is on my wishlist now, what a beaut. Cheers mate.

[IndohNintendo]

I really love the improvements of the new screen(especially the lens being against the screen itself, allowing for zero dust to sneak in) just wish they made a non led gbc logo for folks who prefer it to look as authentic as possible.

i like how considerate you are about the pricing. some people just hype products up through the roof then make it sound like you're not actually a fan if you can't afford it.

[GEKGanon]

I will never ever tire of watching Elliot give new life to Game Boys. It isn't just a piece of hardware, it was someone's escape, a doorway to a million worlds, a child's Christmas wish. It was the little engine that could, and kept going, while all the portable competitors fell by the wayside.

[ccricers]

The Game Boy Color was my first handheld over 20 years ago and it's so nice to see there are now many mods for it and a community keeping it alive.

[CanelRob]

Hey Elliot! Love the gameboy you just made! One quick advice though, move the touch sensor out of the infrared leds if you plan to use it, it fits anywhere on top of the shell :)

I remember when ben venn first figured out how to jank a ags 101 replacement screen to work for the gameboy color pcb. It was awesome, and I thought that we had reached the backlight color screen pinnacle, but now? This is amazing, and so easy that anyone can do it. The fact that we had custom shells that don't need any special modding to fit parts is just a testament to the popularity of gameboy modding. It is only getting bigger.

I've customized 2 GBC's for myself. The first has a glow in the dark shell, with a backlit screen, and the 2nd is based off of the translucent Neo Geo Pocket Color with blue buttons. Also has a backlit screen! Really proud of myself, and how they both came out!

This was one of the first videos of yours I have ever seen (the first was oddly enough the virtual boy one) and now a year later I watch all you latest videos and and am actually modding a gameboy pocket inspired by this gameboy color. I’m doing all white with a stunning ips screen. I hope to put light up buttons in it someday but for now I don’t have the money for that. I just want to say how much I love your videos and how much they have inspired me to go out of my comfort zone and get into electronics, and I can’t even express how much my life has changed for the better from what your videos have inspired me to do!

[Anonymous-chwj]

Showed this to my parents because they had the gameboy when they were my age. They said that if ips displays and all these battery mods happened in their time, it would’ve been revolutionary.

[thepugchugzchannel]

I really like the funnier more confident mood of your videos recently. Hope life is treating you well. Great review as always.

[craigbillow]

One day I'll find the courage to attempt this myself... Beautiful work! Your channel is an inspiration.

[elveskz]

Hello Elliot!! This model became a real amazing work of art. I am now waiting to see the GBA and GBA SP 2022 versions.

[jaydentt]

This job is awesome, you have covid, but you can still do your work, doing your childhood stuff. Amazing.

[agabascal]

I’m particularly not a fan of the lit up buttons, at least in this case because the shell is white, other than that the screen and functionalities look amazing

Finally back to the core content! I really hope you do them all! Loved this one, only seen photos of this config before, it was even better with film!
