Күн бұрынThe 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.

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!

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 👌🏻.

Great video. What is the difference b/w the RIPS IPS and the Retro Pixel IPS from Funny Playing?
@RetroTechorDie 11 ай бұрын
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.
@FatalFlaw85 4 ай бұрын
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 4 ай бұрын
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.
@dr.durazo 3 ай бұрын
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 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.

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!

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.

@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.

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 7 ай бұрын
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.
