The original Game Boy's screen hasn't kept up with the times. The Funnyplaying V2 screen replacement is a great option to bring the system into the modern era. This video covers the replacement and installation of the screen kit!

I still have my GBC from when I was a kid. Same thing with its screen. I'll upgrade it one of these days.

That's a very tasteful upgrade, and as you said it makes it more like how our rose-tinted memories recall it being like. The screen resolution must be really high to allow for that sub-pixel grid effect, so that's pretty nice. Great video as well! Glad you were finally able to finish it!

Thank you taking the time shows us your upgraded DMG Gameboy! You’ve inspired to give this upgrade a try! Thanks Rik!

Well Rik, you made me want to spend more money. Well done....

This was a very satisfying video. Really took me into the experience of doing the upgrade myself, which I still need to do, but I'll have more confidence to do it now. I think it's absolutely worth it, you know how we operate. I much rather have an updated gameboy than one of those playdate things that are trending, so no question about it, the upgrade is definitely worth the 70 bucks of parts. I'm glad you're making videos again, my friend. Thanks for another one.

Like you I still have my childhood GameBoy. I'd love to do this upgraded to my GameBoy. Do you have a link to where you purchased everything? As a side note a few years ago I did a screen mod to my Sega GameGear. It looks amazing!

Looks like a great "refurbishment" kit. I've got an old gameboy color (pocket maybe) that needs a new shell, maybe I'll make a video when I finally get a channel going lol
