I can't wait till they start doing screen mods on DS models.

I remember back in the day the limited solutions to have a backlight GBC screen, at first they were some front light panels that you need to attach with LOCA to the screen, it was really messy and the results isn’t great, then appeared other screen alternatives that required lots os soldering, and now we have this amazing elements that are just plug and play and includes a dedicated PCB to bridge the screen with the existing motherboard, this is just incredible, now we can have the consoles that we could only dream as children

[nafion]

The first clips of that touchscreen took me straight back to childhood, touching my dmg game boy's screen an imagining a future where it would respond...we have arrived, and I'm excited to settle in for this one. 😁

I'd love to see a Gameboy mod with a borderless screen. No black glass frame. Just a whole lot of screen real estate. :)

[AtherisMods]

Been using the OLED for a couple weeks now. Super impressed with mine. Great video ✌️

[pepsuchan]

This seems perfect but I think its missing just one more thing and thats having a multicolor "color" logo option like the regular GBC, would look great with this OLED mod

[meatballtime]

I just bought my first Game Boy Color this morning. What perfect timing! I need this mod.

[blackishjustin]

17:44 – I'm actually glad you mentioned this. My first thought was that if they're taking these from old BlackBerry phones, there's a finite amount of these available. Good to know. Nice tutorial video, once again. I think I'm gonna get this for my current GBC, as I made a similar mistake damaging the IPS screen when installing it (same location too).

[PokeMixr]

I finished building mine about a week ago and the screen looks insanely beautiful! Hopefully we'll also get OLED displays for the GBA in the very near future!

[XDM_Studios]

BlackBerry's about to be real happy that old panels or old phones are just getting recirculated again

[SeyanAyohmaru]

Just wanted to say thank you so much for making this video. Ive never modded before nor ever had the want to try. You made this super easy to follow along and with 0 soldering experience i was able to complete this. Thank you so much again!!

[MultiDarkII]

i hope they make oled screen kits for the GBA and SP soon

[vickmandesantiago]

Honestly, your videos makes me want to do some mods, little bit expensive cause I’m in Mexico. But I’m really getting in to it… Nice videos, congrats

[hereticosjc]

I love old mobile phone screens are being reused. Now we need one of these for GBA ❤

[RayHartrayrayrayray]

Just got this kit in the mail right on time for you to release this guide. Awesome as usual. Thanks!

[Bleats_Sinodai]

I just wish they made an option for the color logo to have "color" in the original GBC logo colors with the "game boy" part being selectable for different colors instead of everything being a solid color.

[pspsmallz]

I've had oled gbc in a clear shell for quite a bit now. I've been playing on it more than my analogue pocket or any other handheld. The screen and convenience of regular aa batteries makes it a better experience than anything else for me right now.

[Rabbitlord]

This is an interesting idea. But on the other hand. Tito. I'm sorry that you've become a victim of YouTube's bot problem.

I’ve had this mod for a few weeks, bought it from AliExpress, $56 for screen/case/buttons. I also got a rechargeable battery pack there for $16. Screen is truly amazing! Though if I had to do it over again I’d buy a custom case. Install was easy for a novice with a cheap soldering kit! I had also bought an EverDrive from AliExpress for like $25 and now I’m playing Zelda oracle games! (the included case was fine, but such a mod needs a cool custom case)

[joshuaabuzaid]

Great video Tito. Thank you for your transparency about the screen damage. This is why i watch your videos before buying a mod
