May sound weird, but your videos are always kinda relaxing in a certain way

@pixelpuppy 2 года назад

soft spoken ASMR like Bob Ross

@TyEats0031 2 года назад

Why would that sound weird?

@DrablyOlive 2 года назад

@@TyEats0031 Sth being relaxing is usually a positive thing but it may not be his intention

only because is voice is soft and he doesnt have those crazy background music and transition. He gets straight to the job

That's a very unique, very cool Game Boy!

I ordered one of these for my GBA last year, but I was still very new to soddering and chickened out on tying to install it. Now I'm a little more experienced and a little more confident with a soddering iron, but now my taste changed and I like my consoles to look more like the OEM versions while being deceptively modernized. lol

@esotericsean 6 месяцев назад

Hah I know the feeling, it’s funny how our tastes can change so much within something like this.

Awesome video Awesome Gameboy with light up controls

Looks so awesome! I'm working on one similar but for the DMG

Awesome vid. I think I'm gonna give this a try

@doorht 2 года назад

Great vid! Thanks for the shoutout! 😁

@ThisUploaded 2 года назад

Didn't realize how easy this kit was to install, maybe it's time to pick one up! Also, question, what temperature do you keep your iron on when working on Gameboys? I feel like I've been keeping mine too low out of caution to not damage the board, but the solder definitely takes longer to heat for my projects then it seems to take in your vids.

@wyattalexander4041 Год назад

I find that the control panel doesn’t fit in the battery compartment… you have the best video on this mod and I appreciate this post so much. Any help with a solution would be really appreciated

I have some one who wants to put this on their GBC. I had zero clue it was even an option. I'm glad you posted this

Sick mod!

@intergalactictoast96 2 года назад

Thank you u did make a video

@dannybriggs5704 9 месяцев назад

Do you have to use the power bulb that comes with the board or can I use the original bulb? If you don’t use the board then it will still work?

@esotericsean 6 месяцев назад

You can use just the light up button part if you want. The power indicator is optional.

@LibertyFixxxer Год назад

If I did the paint mod you showed a few years ago with a clear shell, do you think the light would bleed through? Or is it opaque enough to not effect it? Would be a cool video if you demonstrated it. :)

@esotericsean Год назад

Hmm, might show through a little but I’m not sure! I’ll have to dig out an old shell and test it :)

@LibertyFixxxer Год назад

@@esotericsean Btw, what colors of paint did that company you used have? Any other colors besides white?

@esotericsean Год назад

@@LibertyFixxxer oh they make a million colors! Montana Gold was the brand. Molotov is another really good one, maybe even better than Montana.

@spankmygimp 2 года назад

i wonder if its too much for a clear shell would be interested to see.

@AlmostCoolGuys 2 года назад

If it turns on the shuts off immediately what could be the issue?

@retrojake228 2 года назад

It looks like the power indicator was not lighting up

@esotericsean 2 года назад

It does light up, but looking at it now it’s kinda directional so it didn’t show up too well on camera. The newer boards shouldn’t have that issue.

@narnian19 Год назад

I didn't see the power light turn on. Did I miss something?

@esotericsean Год назад

You’re right, the power LED was actually halfway falling off. But I fixed it in another video.

@narnian19 Год назад

@@esotericsean wow, was it sent that way, or did it happen during the installation?

@esotericsean Год назад

@@narnian19 this was an original prototype so it wasn’t as sturdy as the ones they sell now. Not sure who’s fault it was but it was easy to solder back on.

@narnian19 Год назад

@@esotericsean that's what matters most, being able to fix it easily. I got the funny playing lights and it was easy to install. Had to fix a few solder points, but it went in easy.

@esotericsean Год назад

Thanks! Appreciate that. :) and yeah it’s a very tight fit. It would definitely fit better on the other side of the motherboard, ideally in gap above the buttons, centered. But it would obviously be pretty difficult to turn it on and off that way. The new version (ARC GBC) has built in brightness that you can change with buttons, so that could be another option…

@wyattalexander4041 Год назад

@@esotericsean I truly appreciate the quick response as I know this video was posted awhile ago 🙏🙏🙏 I appreciate the advice and I think that might be a better idea for me atm but for now I guess I havE full brightness with no switch lol This has been my second mod so very new to all this but it has been quite fun !
