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.

Even though I have a GBC as well as a FPGBC, I'm thinking I would really like to get a DMG GB as well. One of these days….
Me and my son are watching this and I might even do this to my own Game Boy it looks so good oh my God it is absolutely incredible!!!
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.
Pretty sure you don't need a Dremel out The screen area. It's just a few pixels. It's not like it's going to matter
I didnt get a bezel/screen overlay with my two ips screens i bought. Can i use the original one or will it cut off too much of the screen?
Great upgrade but the kit doesn't seem to come with the new glass? Its not listed? 👍
I won't lie I have no problem with the new screen. I'm just old school and prefer the old screen. I know I'm old. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
Where do you get the screens? The link in description says page no longer exists.
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
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.
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 🙂
i love how you can re-align the screen, very cool
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
Looks amazing!
I😂 dunno feel a bit conflicted. The purist in me says it kinda deviates from the original experience but the screen is definitely an improvement. I would probably have 2 DMGs one original and one modes
Gonna do this to my half broken gameboy to revive it
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
Have you done anything to dull red led? Its way to bright
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 want this so badly. But they ran out of the V4 kits on the website! Also, $65!!! I don't have that kind of money.
Great video is it posible to do it like today and where to find that screen mode with everything ready just to change it?
Very cool bro
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?
What's the music you have playing in the background? A YouTuber I watch, DankPods uses that song when testing headphones.
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.
Is it possible to adjust the screen so it looks exactly like the original, with the green/yellowish background and black graphic? Or it´s not possible?
Wow what a beautiful upgrade. Exciting time to be a retro gamer.
PIXEL ON!!
Can it emulate the pea green look of the OG GB?
Wow, this really isn't as difficult as I thought it was going to be. I'm going to have to look in to getting this kit.
can the new lcd fit into the old pcb you replaced?
What a great mod. Unless you're a museum, a better viewing experience is always worth it.
Great video. What is the difference b/w the RIPS IPS and the Retro Pixel IPS from Funny Playing?
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!
Where did you get the pokemon yellow cartridge sticker at? A lot of times the colors are always off or dark or whatever, but yours looked good.
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!
