The BEST GameBoy DMG IPS Screen Mod - Custom COLOR palette!!
Is this the best IPS LCD Mod for a GameBoy....YES! Today I installed an IPS LCD (RIPS v4) into a Game Boy DMG!
My son has been playing my old Pokemon Games on my original GameBoy, and that's GREAT...however, I want him to have a more enjoyable viewing experience than I had.

What a great mod. Unless you're a museum, a better viewing experience is always worth it.

@RetroTechorDie Год назад

I keep my DMG origional...but at times I borrow my sons to enjoy the better screen 🤣

@FixTechStuff Год назад

@@RetroTechorDie I've got a DS Lite, so fortunately it's screen is OK, son loves it too.

@geekwithsocialskills Год назад

Really nice upgrade. I still have my original GameBoy I purchased back in the day. I've considered doing a screen mod to it, but decided to keep it original, however I should pick up a used GameBoy and do this mod myself. I have screen modded my GameBoy Advance with a backlit screen and that looks amazing!

@keyhoxalkala8949 Год назад

The best screen without a doubt, I just changed the screen on my Game Boy and I am simply speechless when I see the improvement against the previous screen, In the same way I keep my original Game Boy intact and I bought an extra one to make the mod, good video 👌🏻.

@yorkshirelad3133 6 месяцев назад

Thanks! It looks sooo much better in person, I am absolutely blown away with it.

I have screen swapped two DMGs. Both had screens that couldn't be saved. I have three DMGs that are totally usable in their original state, they're staying as is, will probably sell one.

@DB4KK 24 дня назад

I found my dad's original gameboy, and sadly, it had bad screen burn and irriplacible damage to other regions of the screen, so I decided to get a RIPS 5, I'm super excited to surprise him.

What a great idea!

@DB4KK 23 дня назад

@@RetroTechorDie your channel was the one that got me into modding too, I restored my color and advance and I still peruse eBay for cheap or broken ones to mod! Luckily the DMG CPU board was fine, but the screen had a very damaged lens and bad damage, as I said before. I am looking forward to the arrival of my package! Excited to see more videos from you!

@Mullratte 4 месяца назад

It’s a nice mod me personally I let my son play with my Gameboy with the original display so he can have a truly authentic experience just like I did I even bought some for his friends and brothers so they can all play together they decided they wanted to play all the games in order and on real hardware it made me so proud and sad at the same time I miss my childhood so bad

@dr.durazo 6 месяцев назад

How many hours do the AA Batteries lasts with this LCD IPS mod? I just bought one GB Classic from AliExpress exactly with this mod the last week and now I’m just waiting to have it in my hands and enjoy it, it looks beautiful! But I was wondering how much this mod affects the battery lives and how many hours do they last :)

@RetroTechorDie 6 месяцев назад

I don't have any hard numbers, but my son plays it a LOT! The draw isn't excessive. I am not using any special rechargeable batteries, just normal AA's.

@stonebuzz9131 Год назад

Great video, thanks for sharing !! Your printed bracket looks different from the kit mentioned in the description Where did you find yours? It seems to be of better quality and avoids altering the shell!

@RetroTechorDie Год назад

That is the kit I ordered, I assume they made a revision and updated the bracket but not the image.

@BastarB 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the vid. Yes, it looks so much better, but it's just not as nostalgic all of a sudden with the new screen.

@RetroTechorDie 6 месяцев назад

Agreed, to me it feels like a different device. However it is nice seeing my kid play it in the car at night and not having the lighting struggles I had.

@ryanfester2824 Год назад

Scared of Soldering but that doesn't look too bad... think I'm going to go for it! Thanks for the video, I'll try to comment on back on how it goes!

@RetroTechorDie Год назад

Please let us know! It's an easy solder job, if you want you can find some inexpensive practice kits on Amazon.

@legionofanon 8 месяцев назад

Man these new displays look amazing. Myself Im looking into doing a DMGC mod. it comes as a plain board and requires a lot of soldiering, but it uses a GBC CPU in a DMG shell and will play GBC games

I hope you kept the original screen, it is in great shape. I will buy it off you if you dont need it

@irelandshane1984 Месяц назад

Great upgrade but the kit doesn't seem to come with the new glass? Its not listed? 👍

@FatalFlaw85 6 месяцев назад

Thanks, the difference is incredible, I spent a lot of time looking this up and deciding and I'm definitely going with the modded backlit lcd screen now, that's a huge difference... I'm wondering though if i should also opt for the rechargeable battery too then or if it's not that much noticeable difference to just use AAs and leave that part original, I'm going to buy one on ebay that's already been modded with or without the backlight and with or without rechargable batteries

@RetroTechorDie 6 месяцев назад

I just use the AA's and havent seen a difference. However recently I did replace the power regulator due to some issues....I think this needed replaced due to age and not the screen as my non modded DMG was having similar issues.

@NGreedia 7 месяцев назад

I modified my GBC with a hispeedido ips lcd and could never go back. Considering modifying my DMG and GBA. I ordered an analogue pocket but that could take a very long time and modifying my gbc has given me the urge to start playing gbc/gb games again

@plamendobrev5416 Год назад

Great video. What is the difference b/w the RIPS IPS and the Retro Pixel IPS from Funny Playing?

@RetroTechorDie Год назад

IMO nothing drastic...I think the RIPS has a better user interface...but all this is subjective. When I was researching what screen to buy I found this Reddit post ( www.reddit.com/r/Gameboy/comments/kxlniz/review_retro_modding_vs_funny_playing_shells/ ) In the end, both are an improvement over the original screen, it is really just up to you to decide what features and user interface you like better.

@killagram2261 9 месяцев назад

I would love to do this mod. How is the battery life with the IPS screen? Would it need a power regulator of any kind?

@RetroTechorDie 9 месяцев назад

No regulator or other parts needed! I haven’t noticed any big loss in battery life, but any that is there is worth it given the increase in image quality! I have seen drop in USB C battery options that would work as well!

@Noblereach36 Год назад

Awesome. Just ordered one. It’s perfect because my contrast wheel is pretty busted and has to be in the perfect position for it to work correctly. Also I’m already missing the grey screen protector.

@Dusklight2008 Год назад

Most of GB DMG sold in the former USSR in 90s were more golden green than pure emerald. My old GB palette is: C0 - R24, G63, B05, C1 - R20, G52, B08, C2 - R17, G42, B11, C3 - R11, G32, B10. Brightness is 05-10. Notice that on those old monochrome LCD the contrast was quite reduced and there was a trail effect.

It is possible, can be difficult depending on your skill level. I would imagine easier pre-made boards will be released down the road. mousebitelabs.com/2021/06/25/game-boy-color-in-an-original-game-boy/ hackaday.com/2021/08/06/game-boy-color-makes-itself-at-home-in-a-dmg-01/

@RetroTechorDie Ok.. I've just answered my own question with a bit of thinking what I have around the house.. 2 Dabs of tamiya color enamel paint x-19 smoke with a fine paint brush. $4aud online or local hobby store. Took me 10min to do with pulling apart the unit and a quick blow dry on the wet paint Looks exactly like the original dmg red led and no where near intense on the eyes.

@hatdog703 Год назад

can the new lcd fit into the old pcb you replaced?

@RetroTechorDie Год назад

Im not fully sure I understand your question. The LCD Kit comes with a the front PCB for the buttons and the video Driver PCB. You keep the original main PCB (where the cart plugs into). To use the new LCD you need the driver and front PCB. www.retromodding.com/collections/game-boy/products/game-boy-ips-lcd

@valefolken9143 10 месяцев назад

To be honest.... For your kid, yeah give him the left. But for me, give me the right any day. For GBC/GBA I like the backlit IPS screens. For classic GB, it's just weird and wrong to me. This has helped me decide to keep it authentic.

@RetroTechorDie 10 месяцев назад

100% agree with you, I still prefer my original GB! This has helped open the door for my kids since it makes it more on par with modern games. I have noticed my son wanting to use my original GBC more often. His next GameBoy will likely be unmodified.
