The reason the battery has to be charged when the device is off is because the GBC lacks the circuitry required to cut off the battery while charging, it would discharge the battery while it's being charged and the effects could range from ruining the motherboard to the battery exploding.

[natethebad]

Seeing all the cool things we can do today with GBs is such a pleasure. I would love to be able to take modded consoles like this to the 90s and blow younger me's mind. Thanks for another great video!

[milnan]

15:40 White light is een perfect mixture of the three colors red, blue and green. Blue has a higher intensity so if all led's are the same size the blue could very well be overpowering the other colors creating the blue instead of white.

[kylewalker]

Macho your videos are incredible. I work as a night shift machine operator and my cycles take two hours at a time. My manager is pretty laid back so I get to just sit back, keep an eye on my machine tools as they run, and enjoy some quality modding videos. Thank you for keeping work fun!

[BRKsEDU]

I recently started playing The Machine (amazing btw) on my GBC and that made me realize how dim the screen is. And I played that as a kid in my dad's car during family trips 🤣

[quatreryukami]

Oddly, this covers basically everything I wanted to know about my desired end product except for a speaker amp and USB-C. Brilliant.

[Mdg]

These videos are so satisfying and relaxing to watch. You make this stuff look so easy breezy and not tedious at all. I love tinkering but after losing a tiny spring for the 3rd time while fixing my sons joycon, I had to walk away and found this to watch!

[ImadKhan]

I think the only thing I'd add to this mod would be a USB-C port for charging and a speaker amp.

[shadowk]

That transparent shell is gorgeous, and that battery mod is amazing and I've not seen it before, nice!

[WheeledHamster]

Those are some satisfying solder joints.

[adityavaibhav]

Nice video as always Tito, your video production quality is next level. I hope you can do something same for the og GBA 😁.

[RPFM]

Macho you never dissappoint, I would love to see a "Cramming a shit-ton of mods on a gba" but take your time, your quality is super worth the wait uwu

[ShadowcasterZero]

I don't see the need for the battery mod, when lipo AA rechargable batteries are at 2450 mAh now. Unless you just want it. Ladda batteries from Ikea just last longer.

[joharakiri]

This is quite impressive. For everyday use though personally I'd just get an IPS screen and a pre cut aftermarket shell to make the mod entirely drop in. HDMI out feels more like a gimmick anyway. As to power supply i find two sets of rechargeable AA batteries do the job perfectly fine. Any money unspent after that can go towards a decent flash cart.

[craigachuff]

Incredible. I did a gba drop in screen and soldered the 2 wires for screen brightness. I do have a gbc but I am definitely sure this will take more time and patience. Still easy enough. That shell color and led lights look awesome.

[bitbros]

Wow that shell is beautiful. I wish it was compatible with the drop in laminated Q5 though. The build looks great. The quality of the HDMI output really looked surprisingly good. Too bad I missed the live premier got caught up playing Shredders Revenge! Great work Tito!

[consciousone]

Wow! It’s incredible how many mods you can actually do to a Gameboy. Amazing job with this one brother! A great video as usual Tito, craftsmanship, cinematography, commentary and mods on point, loving it!

[blackhawkthepirate]

I don't typically like see-through shells much, but this one looks absolutely beautiful!

[KOSMOSA]

i will definitely be picking up these mods for my own build, the low battery warning from the LEDs is worth the price of the board.

[EmberandIronWorkshop]

First time seeing your channel and I subbed within the first minute. Can’t wait to see another channel hit a million subs. Much deserved.
