For anyone wanting the frontlight but better- use LOCA. It’s a special adhesive that will get rid of the air gap between the light and the screen and make it look clearer

@kunga_5959 5 лет назад

In my opinion you are the best retro gaming channel on the platform😃

@PeterDenTV 5 лет назад

Elliot, Applying LoCa would've greatly improved light diffusion by removing the air gap between the light diffuser and the screen. I'd be curious to see you make a video about that method.

@jessebeard4178 4 года назад

i have done this and it makes a HUGE difference

@egwagjsd 5 лет назад

So many uploads recently. Keep up the grind 🔥🔥🔥

@LPOeli 5 лет назад

Applying loca will improve this mod.

@montyclough2426 5 лет назад

I love watching you fix things. It's so satisfying when the result is the outcome wanted.

@MyRetroWatches 5 лет назад

How you guys do that fine soldering is a sight to behold. Fascinating video

@rubiksfaq9214 5 лет назад

I don’t know how often you see them, but I was hoping you could do something with the Nintendo Virtual Boy. I have a few that I need to fix and having somebody like you make a video on them would be absolutely capital!

@blankpage9277 4 года назад

I want to see Elliot mess with a VB!

@RealToWonder 5 лет назад

i love when you do gameboy color vids. it was my first ever video game (console or handheld). I still have my original one. i had to replace the shell tho bc it got dented when I hit my older brother with it when i was 8.

@harrydean9723 2 года назад

@TampaTec 5 лет назад

Great video, really interested in value mod upgrades ! Modding + saving money = 😁

@TheRetroFuture 5 лет назад

Thanks man!

@matthewnations501 5 лет назад

I'm glad you did a video on this. Even though there are other options I do like the thought of keeping the original aspect ratio and especially keeping the original size screen protector.

@craig9180 5 лет назад

You should open your own modding service 👀 I’ve got a bunch of game boys that need sorting so I’d pay 🤷🏽‍♂️

@deano386 5 лет назад

Or do it yourself? 🤷‍♂️

I really don't understand how the retro gaming community at large will insist on playing home consoles on CRT but balk at frontlights or even unlit OEM handheld screens. For me the IPS kits kill some of the charm of these old systems by making the colours too vibrant, the pixels too sharp and the subpixels too tiny. I like being able to see the subpixels on my SP, and the front light is easy on the eyes in the dark (not to mention easy on the monster battery I've added, not prone to ghosting-I could go on). Not to mention, you can't see shit on a backlit screen in the sun.

@dedender0726 5 лет назад

The final product .... wasn't worth it That looks like it washed out the color

@spacecabbage 4 года назад

you can apply loca glue on the screen. since there is no air between the layers, the colors are better.

@ianwellinger471 5 лет назад

eBay offers one with a simple switch that goes in the battery compartment to turn on and off the backlight. It really finishes off this mod

@DoubbleDdragon 5 лет назад

For better Results Elliot add some loca between frontlight and panel ;) btw nice work

@soleanna14 Год назад

It’s also worth mentioning the battery. The modern LCD’s absolutely nuke the battery down from 30 to a measly 8. This front light is way more effecient, especially if you don’t have a rechargeable mod.

@Chriva 5 лет назад

I miss those old displays. Maybe not this particular implementation of it but several PocketPC handhelds also had them (with backlight). Didn't matter how bright it was outside, you could always very clearly see what was on the screen. Forget about that with modern stuff :P

@1Raphael 5 лет назад

That would help if you use loca uv glue look in to it

@perplu666 5 лет назад

That green shell looks so good. Great video!

@silenceisloud8418 4 года назад

Congratulations you turned my wife into a RU-vid widow , just smashed your whole library in about 2 days when home from work lol wicked stuff , found an restored a gbc off of Ebay coz of you. Top stuff man 😄👍

@TheRetroFuture 4 года назад

Awh awesome stuff. Thank you!!!

@soeschelz 5 лет назад

Thanks for the video as always! But I think for the money it made the GBC worse than it was. If I couldn't afford the proper solution, I'd stick with the Vanilla GBC, like I played it in the 90s There's my pink GB Pocket lying around... it's very worn down and yellowed. It definitve needs a nice clean and a new screen lense, I think retrobright will not work on pink.

@KyoteKy 4 года назад

I love how he put batteries in the FCC in the beginning just to take them out 30 seconds later lol🤣

@MrDiske21 5 лет назад

Elliot, did you know about the "loca" glue to the screen? Supposedly helps with the cloudiness of the screen. For this reason I opt out of the front light. You make me change my mind. I'll go for it! Thanks

@OmoiSenpai 5 лет назад

You sure there's not plastic layer over the light that had to be removed? xP Also, my OCD kinda acted up in the end with the screen int he gameboy >_

@kr4t0sg.28 5 лет назад

Pretty happy how it turned out? Um its all blurry and fuzzy. Ive done frontlit kits before using loca glue and even so its just not beautiful to the eyes.

@papabriscoe 5 лет назад

Recently picked up a yellow GBC to redferb, mod and resale. Never done a front lit screen before but might look into it now!

@ice9dragon 5 лет назад

Ayyo use some Loca UV glue on the light diffuser panel, 100% helps the visibility ✌️

@omarmorales2156 5 лет назад

Elliot, I'm so used to see you wearing a cap, the last videos I was like "wtf, is he his twin brother?" XD haha...Indeed, that "pooch" makes you feel pathetic just starting your adventure. ...keep up the great job! :)

@heavyarms55 5 лет назад

I adored my Game Boy Color and put probably thousands of hours into it. But it's just not enjoyable to go back to. I love the games still, but I want them on my Switch. Call me spoiled by modern tech, but I just am. Going back to the tiny screen, low brightness or no brightness of old hand helds is just not appealing anymore. I'm really interested in that Analogue Pocket Game Boy Clone.

@collinsgichuhi8255 5 лет назад

@manuelpena4547 5 лет назад

I got an LCD from aliexpress... I'm really looking forward to it. Was 40€ with a shell but it's much better

Great tutorial as always. Just out of interest Elliot are you going to get one of those RG350 handhelds? Looks like it could be one of the best made so far. Still waiting for the "ultimate" retro console.

@m692 5 лет назад

Nice video, keep up the good work!

@MrMalky1550 4 года назад

Try putting LOCA glue in between the frontlight and the screen that may reduce the issue of the cloudy look slightly maybe another video there for you too.

@electro8561 5 лет назад

@ianeckhoff1992 3 года назад

A backlit screen costs more but it's worth it.

@Soul94255 4 года назад

You definitely should have used loca on the front light

@dravenhouse9743 5 лет назад

If you put it on with loca it gets rid of that cloudiness

@blankpage9277 4 года назад

Do you at least break even on repair and resells or is this purely a passion project? I'd like to get into it bit not if it costs more than you can make back.

@TXFDA 2 года назад

Damn, I was actually gonna look into buying this. But, seeing that it requires soldering, I can't really do it. Drop in screens are way more expensive.

@dw9932 4 года назад

This is for a loca adhesive attached to the screen and the frontlight mod

@JonnyOgg 4 года назад

I think weirdly that might have been my old Gameboy? Where in Germany did you get it from?

@Celery7 5 лет назад

Next time you do a frontlight mod, use LOCA, your final product will look a lot less washed out

@dedender0726 5 лет назад

Do you have any input with Merch For All in the States? Ordered a hat and a shirt October 20th, mistakenly deleted the email and wanted to know the status of the order. I get an email saying they've cancelled the order and refunded my money which isn't what I requested. I won't order again because of the confusion.

@TheRetroFuture 4 года назад

Retro, I accidentally stepped in my Pokémon Ruby motherboard while trying to change the battery and it broke in half. You think it has any chance to work again?

@baileythesleepless9966 4 года назад

I seriously doubt it, you'd have to solder jumper wires for every trace that broke, and there are a lot, and they are pretty small.
