Greatly informative video, thanks!!
u talk to much to stretch it to 10 mins for those ads
My sister’s Gameboy is from 1990. What parts should be replaced on those old ones before proceeding?
Super Thanks Tito! I used this today for a Neptune Shell from retromodding.
Using a craft knife is very hard without a straight edge.
My modified DMG works though. Glad I did the mod.
This is WAY better than my older AGS-101 modded GBA.
I'm concerned about the button height on the shell.
The buttons don't stick out as much as the original shell. They are responsive though.
I also had to use original OEM Silicone pads.
They were higher and more responsible than new ones.
Why doesn't someone make taller DMG buttons to compensate for sinking in?
Now they got shells you don't have to cut…
Just finished this MOD and it looks fantastic. Followed your video and it made it a breeze, so thank you. Bought the kit and the funny playing molded case that was already modified for this screen. The only thing missing were the stickers. Have any recommended sources for them?
can you do a video on the installation of the clean juice battery for the dmg i cant seem to find one . a how to video. thank you
i wanna die
At 7:13 you soldered an old Gameboy speaker to the new board, but if I ordered a new speaker and were to solder the red and black wires to the board, from this position which side would it connect?
I like the pallets and the button switch of this Funnyplaying kit but I have boring dots glitchs in Pokemon Yellow and Kirby's Dream Land even with Retropixels filter off. It's a dots like the dots glitchs have appers in the legend of zelda links awakening. Is this normal of this kit or I have a bad kit? My OSD Rips v4 kit does not have this horrible dots glitchs 🙁
So is the screen lens larger on the funny playing mod?
After finding your channel while searching how to resurrect my Grandmothers original Gameboy DMG after she passed, I found your tutorials and recommendations. Not only is my Grandmothers DMG in beautiful working condition, but now because of your channel and recommendations, it's screen is absolutely gorgeous as well. Thank you Tito for your great content!
I just wish that somebody would explain what DMG stands for. I hear it all the time and nobody says what it is.
After installing this mod, my speaker has a bit of a constant buzz. Would replacing the speaker with funnyplaying's dmg speaker fix this issue? Thanks for your videos!
I'm bidding on a pair of DMGs on eBay to do this and a case swap. I want to keep my near perfect original (minus where my dad wrote our last name in permanent marker on the back) as an original and find one that has… some wear to mod.
It's a year and half later. Finally found a DMG for a good price. Free from my brother's girlfriend's basement storage. This mod is on the schedule.
Just successfully installed the new version of the Funnyplaying kit. It now has a clear plastic centering bracket that holds the screen nicely.
The new kit also has a new ribbon cable, with a built in touch sensor and two soldering pads, for power and touch. Neither the touch sensor or the power and touch pads are used with the DMG kit.
The select wheel: Pressing it up and down adjusts brightness, pressing it in will switch it to color palette mode, allowing you to pick between several color palettes, some that look like the original DMG green, and one that looks like the Game Boy Pocket screen, very nice selection.
Did you use flux when you soldered the speaker?
Today i installed this kit on my gb dmg, amazing screen! Great tutorial! 😀
My retro pixel ips screen is a bit flickery on startup. Is this normal?
Quick question? Now that the rips ips V5 is out how does it compare to this mod?
I bought and installed the same kit. I noticed in Zelda links awakening of link is standing near the top few rows of the screen there is a flickering. Anyone else see this??
Can you use nimh batteries with this or do you need a regulator
Thanks to your videos you inspired me to pick up an old Gameboy that was rotting away at some old pawn shop and fix it. I used some techniques I learned from your channel (including my hand at soddering) and now I have a backlit, clean and new working Gameboy. It's a fun hobby I wish to try more of.
I would actually use the foam gasket as the guide by putting it on and removing the middle and cutting from the inside by snipping the corners first, then scoring with the X-acto blade with the gasket on to make near perfect straight edges
I just installed this kit. For some reason the shows a border around the image. Any idea why this would happen?
My screen is not centered in the viewing window. I bought a ips shell and bracket. Is there a way to adjust the picture on the screen?
My "Start" stopped working, was browsing spares…and found this..ordered this the same day. Looks great.
what about the GAME BOY DMG IPS LCD V5 WITH OSD – HISPEEDIDO it seems to the the same options?
Great video! Currently waiting on my kit to fix after finding soldering the screen pins was unsuccessful. Just curious what kind of solder do you use? I'm completely new to it I can never seem to find an answer.
Ive had 2 of these Screens randomly develop clusters of dead Pixels. They are amazing when working but Total Junk in my Experience so I can't recommend. Too Pricey to keep replacing these Junk Screens
Thanks for the install information, I just ordered this and they were out of cases, and I had no idea if it would fit in my original case from the 80s
Got this coming from ebay, already installed on dmg
This would great for me, but I think my DMG doesn’t work anymore 😢
