Turning a Gameboy into a Mini Arcade Machine! 

Incredible work man! The ribbon connector was great!!!

First off, welcome to the small group of us that have made mini gameboy cabinets. I really like your take on this. When I made mine, I retrofit a plastic "MyArcade Burger Time" unit and fit a GBC in it. I had the in cart slot in the back, but I like your bottom loader. Also, really nice labeling and cable management!

i love the creativity, ingenuity and cable management of this build! for a possible V2 of this i would say adding a leading cable that goes to the top to a small LED strip and replacing the front panel with clear acrylic with a transparent design you print out so it llights up when turned on like a real arcade cabinet. i also like the padding you put at this bottom and i was personally thinking of a small suction cup so it will definitely stay wherever you put it

The turn on switch on the back is such a cool idea. i also love how you afixed the joy stick to the pad.

This is sooooo incredible, and man, that cavalcade of wires TERRIFIES me. I could never attempt to do this myself, but boy would I love to have one.

This is literally such a creative concept! Gotta respect the broad skill set to make this beauty 🤩🔅

It would have been amazing if the R and L buttons were next to A and B in an L shape like certain arcades, but I understand why you chose to leave them on it on the back, Great video and good work with the ribbon cable.

Holy shit. I can't imagine doing all that work only to then have an electrical issue in the end. Kudos to you for that crazy good job on the ribbon cable adapter pcb. You make every step of this look easy when in reality, being able to do all these different things at this level takes both skill and extreme patience. The end result is a labor of love.

Gotta respect creative concepts with old tech. love it

this is so creative, awesome mod!

Wow that’s really cool it looks really sick

Came from Video Game Restorations, this idea seems class

I'm not the biggest arcade machine fan, but this was great to watch. Reminded me of the small woodworking and electrical projects I was learning in high school.

This is awesome. Very cute, and functional.

Carpinteiro, eletricista, engenheiro, artesão, pintor, desenhista ... esse cara é tudo e mais um pouco ( VOCÊ É O PROFESSOR PARDAL ??? )

Bro needs an award for his creativity

This is so creative. I love the dedication you put into this project! Very cool!

Two words: oddly satisfying.

Skills! Nice work. 🤘

That's a pretty interesting way to go about this. The bead idea is pretty for the ball top and then that threaded screwdriver bit (I've never seen one like that before) is pretty neat.

Bro thats amazing!!! Incredible work

This is a great build, well done! One small change I would have made though is to place the trigger buttons on the left and right sides of the cabinet, much like a pinball machine. If you then added weights to hold it down this would be more comfortable to play.

Very nice build! i did this like 10 years ago with one of my first 3D printers i built :P it was so much fun!

This is crazy good !!

What a beautiful thing you have accomplished bro... so much dedication and determination, if i started to do this kind of things ,I would gave up at first step 😆.. I'm still amazed how you remembered to connect all the cables. Neat and Clean. You deserve more subscribers. (I started to watch and follow this channel mainly to repair my Old Sp screen , I think the issue is probably the polarizing film showing some wet marks because of humidity, and need to change it watching your clips). Thanks a lot... Peace and Love my friend ✌🔝

Now I'm Imagining this but its with like a DS or New 3DS XL, Very nice work and really cool design.

Super cool!

Your skills are amazing! I have tinkered with raspberry pi and others like it. I wish I had a full shop. Tootles! :)

I did one that looked similar out of cardboard when I was a kid 🤣 The gba sp would just slide from the back « door » it was pretty cool Pretty cool to see a finished version of my idea

U made amazing device. I am very happy to see this. Great modification

Wow, absolutely incredible work! Really great shape, and design and the control panel looks fantastic. Having said that, there are some preferences/nitpicks about the cabinet I would change. It's by no means a criticism of your work. I think it would've been better to spray the cab with a couple of coats of primer and sanding before painting would've been better. The grain on the wood is still visible. Also, a light up marquee would add a more authentic look, as well as light up "coin doors" for Select and Start. In addition, "t-moulding" on the edges would make it really pop. That could be achieved with some paint. A color to match the artwork. Again, not criticizing, just nitpicks. Hopefully, you do make those additions you mentioned and make another video. Well, done and thanks for this video. It was a pleasure to watch.

Masterpiece! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Amazing job!! Looks awesome!👍

Amazing a gameboy arcade machine

This is so awesome ! How cool and innovative is that ! Love watching these videos I could never do this but it's neat watching someone who can

Very cool man!! I love the decals!

this man deseves 100 million subs

Dude, the light bounce from the screen hitting the arcade makes it look so crisp, it gives me pizza and arcade vibes when I was like 12 years old but with gameboy advance games. This is indeed a high quality project. I love it!

Look here son, the arcade machine is great and all, but I'm over here in awe watching you go with that dremel! Those were some clean cuts man, daaaayum. Very nice project though, that looks awesome

Sweet build

This is exceptional work. Would love to make a bigger one actually

this is the definition of trust the process 😅

Pretty cool stuff

Very cool! Nice execution!! I got the GRS Build-A-Cade a couple of months ago (which is a similar concept built around a Pi 4) and am loving it!

Love this!

Excited to see 😊 your amazing at building stuff ❤I’m just 2:00 minutes in and I’m like WOWO WOWOW 7:56 wow wow WOW ❤

That’s dope 😎🔥

Man! I wish I had something like that!

The final product looks pretty groovy! The only choice I would consider differently is the use of Centipede theming rather than Nintendo or groups of games theming considering it's, well, a GBA rather than a Centipede-only machine.

The gba sp is awesome

ok, i gotta make one now lol thanks for the awesome idea!!

I really like your style of editiing!

this is a work of art

Buttons on the side of the machine for L and R could have worked out well here, similar to the paddle buttons on pinball machines. Looks very nice though 👍

Really nice! I`m impressed with our patience on making this. If it was me making it all that tactile buttons would be gone while soldering lol

so cool

This is very impressive!

Like those mini arcade machines they sell

Nice I love your project 💜

Nice And cool work

Soooooooooooo AMAZING!!!

Atari Nintendo mini arcade. Nice collaboration!!

This is cool. 😎👍💯

Nice!

Really talented dude

You are a genius

This looks a so amazing

Amazing Work

the frontal lr buttons are the friend we made along the way

le gars est un pro !

Now thats some job well done

Super rad dude

Nice work!!

love the effort keep posting. i subbed

Awesome customization! I'm also doing something with customization with a Bop It. I'm going to change the logo/sticker to something like a question mark. But that is way cooler than my idea!

Hey! I have the same Black Gameboy SP!

Nice work!

This is a sick build wow 🔥

i saw this and though of an idea, turn a gameboy into a full size arcade machine

How much would you value one of these at? It looks awesome.

*yo I love this*

There is a gba av adapter, or tv tuner, as it's actually called, that allows you to connect anything that has av into it. For curiosity. I wonder how it looks. Just a suggestion tho. Good vid

WOW!!!!!

I built one using one of the dollar general 300in 1 shitty arcades. I bought it just for a project like this one. Surprisingly the button board that came with that mini cabnet was decent and equiped with enough buttons for all the gba functions. Cool build non the less

I wish it was a full-size arcade cabinet. :)

.Damn the amount of donor Gba's you cut is crazy! I used 1 to complete my whole build and haven't had an issue doing so. None the less great job on your build

Centipede wa played with a roller controller but other than that its perfect!

You should make a SNK Metal Slug Advanced one.

This is awesome. But could have had the L and R on top of the A and B buttons. Its pretty awkward to hold

I wonder how long the GB/C/A modding scene can realistically last. There aren't infinite systems out there and there are less and less every day. Some get modded in a different way, some break, are lost, or destroyed, and others still end up in the hands of collectors never to re enter the marked until the day they die (including mine).

I have no words, this is just fantastic!

Holyshit this is so cool

Nice imagine Pokémon games on that

I cant stop laughing, this is funny and creative...

Yo nunca me hubiera atrevido a hacer algo así de semejante 😢

Wow...real nice job....but why not upgrading the battery to a much largr one? you have a lot of space. Look super cool...🤩

Awesome work brotha! I know you said your not selling these, but how can a fan obtain one?

respect

A mod for HDMI output, an Overclock mod, and even a mod to connect a controller would be the only things I would add to this excellent GBA SP Mini Arcade

What printer is that? It has some pretty good quality. Also great job making it, it looks awesome!
