I like the way you always show the errors, breakages, problems. It makes me feel so much better about my own experiences.

I felt actual pain at 5:47. Broken screens are a complete nightmare.

Note to viewers, Boxy Pixel will not replace a broken screen for you if you put it inside a shell (even if you don't use the adhesive) or solder the touch sensor. Do a screen test on the table with the bare minimum. I ended up having to buy a replacement elsewhere.

Congrats on this build man. Looks modern with an exquisite feel, and and the reflective feeling is nice!

Couple of the small criticisms! Like the giant hump on the gameboy's back. The Quasimodo Boy Two gameboys are two completely different things?

Honestly, I'd prefer something plastic. Also that proud cart in the back is a deal breaker.

Nice build, shame about the cart sticking out, this actually puts me off doing this build as I was looking for a metal shell build next, but this won’t be it.

the cartirdge sticking out is a no deal for me, everything else seems real nice (minus your broken screen haha)

Absolutely beautiful mod. My biggest gripe I think is the fact that you have to completely remove the IR from the GBC.

I bet it has a satisfying weight to it. Love your videos man. Super calming and awesome content about Gameboys and anything else you want to review. Can't wait for whatever you do next.

Man how are you that skilled with that gameboy stuff? The gameboys were big part of my childhood but I can't do anything with them except playing on em. Keep going man

Welcome back, Elliot! Very glad to have new content. Hope all is well with the house and bike. Cheers!

That sweep across the desk with the Mac Studio was so slick. Great video!

Man. I'm fairly new to the Gameboy game, currently making my GBZero, but the Gameboy Color with the IPS mods are seems to be truly amazing devices. Tickles my must to have bones. With this shell it's the best it ever gets.

Looks beautiful. Wish I had the soldering skills to be able to put it together

I love your videos. It’s so relaxing to watch you do tinkering with these amazing stuff. Your videos help me relax lol. Keep up the great work as always!

Damn, looks aboslutely amazing! Wish I was as skilled as you at modding!

Great work Elliot as per usual. ❤ I love my boxypixel SP, so well machined,and feels so premium in the hand. On another note,I purchased some ifixit tools yesterday, I'm impressed after your recommendation. 👌 Also looking forward on an update on the C90. 🙂

Really loving your videos keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻

This is gorgeous. Was my fav model as a kid for a long time. Cuz was a huge upgrade over the og before color every existed.

just managed to dig up my old gameboy pocket! definitely want to mod and refurbish it, this is great inspiration

Fantastic video and mod. Perfect length, nice details, some shared disasters and peeves - ending with a great joke. Master class for aspiring KZfaqrs.

The pocket is the best design, Whith the color features, is a dream come true. Hope you show another vídeo with the final screen.

Love that spin just adds respect ✊ love the vid man so cool I learned how to mod and fix gameboys from watching your videos :) great days to you man

That is really a work of art great job on the build!

Great job with the mod Elliot. In the past I've criticized your soldering but I'm glad to see you've improved a lot. Keep it up mate!

What a beautiful video and very good mod, Keep up the good work Eliot!! :) By the way, the white glass looks honestly good for me personally!

Great Mod and great video Elliot! The gameboy looks so awesome!

the red and black buttons looks so nice, a great build!

The top bezel kinda looks short, maybe because of overall bigger screen frame, which makes it look rather disproportional than gbp Yet this shell is still beautiful

What you do inspires me to do things to game consoles. Among those things you’ve inspired me to make is a Switch PC known as the Switch Nite that me and my team is building. Thank you, Elliot! (Also, I will buy a 3DS Panda shell if you have a spare.) (You probably don’t have another, just thought to ask.)

I really was looking forward to see a Aluminum Machined Classic Game Boy after I saw the unhinged Advance SP. Also there's something called GB operator which is basically a good Cartridge reader(sort of like Save-The-Hero, but it is compatiable with all generations of Gameboy cartridges(yes, that includes the camera cartridges) and it's on meet_epilogue, since no body uploaded a lot about it, I thought you can do it since your videos are mostly about Gameboys.

This looks great! Id love to do this when I am more skillful! Also, I think it would be fun if you could make or find a gameboy micro xl or a very very tall or wide gameboy micro! Love the videos! 👍

I think I enjoy the videos a bit more when something goes wrong, kinda shows that not everything is perfect and that those kind of things can happen

While I may not have said anything, this was the video I have been waiting for. Thanks BoxyPixel and Elliot!

I love the silver, it has a nice look to it

looks sweet. I always loved the pocket and thought it was such a shame the color didn't have the same body. I ordered the red casing with black buttons because my friend had that OG gameboy when we were kids and I was always jealous

Hi Elliot , thanks for the video, I was actually wondering if I'll buy it or not but thanks to your video, I have decided to save a bit more and arm myself with patience and order the Analog Pocket, thanks again and keep up the good work :)

You can really make a load of money modding Gameboys like this! I'm impressed by this mod 🙂

This has to be the best gameboy of 2022 Well done my lad

Another cool and sleek build! Looks super clean! Also, I like your little soldering iron. Can you tell me what model you have so I can pick one up?

Your solder work is so clean

I know you said it's not really a fair comparison to the Analogue Pocket, but with those prices, it's kinda hard not to. Both seem like very pricey endeavours. Though sorry that your screen was broken. It's a total bummer and it can happen to best of us. Still, for what it's worth, you did great mate!

Masterpiece! Love the color combination.

I've been watching your channel for a couple months and just love the content, kinda inspired me into repairing my old 3ds XL, any suggestion on where to buy the shelling and the buttons? Thanks in advance, again love the videos keep up the great content!

Using your tweezers like that was genius! IDK why I've never thought to do that.

great as always mr retro

FYI given it's Japanese those screws are probably JIS screws not phillips. JIS cross point screws are slightly different and using a phiillips screwdriver with them makes it more likely to strip the head.

Nice job. Beautiful gb.

Wow that looks awesome!

Me: Wow, that’s so cool! Nintendo: Wait, that’s illegal…

This is sick!! Love this

I did mine in anodized black with the purple buttons a month ago when they first released Easily my favorite game boy of all time until you own one you won’t understand how heavy and quality this shell feels in the hand it’s next level

Nick Rose of Boxy Pixel really knows his stuff, and I look forward to his new aluminum DMG shell coming soon!

Soldering lipos scared the crap out of me. That's why I have yet to switch my micro drone batteries to bt2.0 lmao. Beautiful build man!

You see, this is a cool build, if anything is the coolest. and Boxy Pixel makes excellent builds! However, as far as I know they do not mix and match the color of their aluminum pieces. He did point out the buttons but the most expensive is the screen frame, which comes with the whole shell. I can relate with the screen mishap as I did messed up the screen on my first try. So if anyone that is not a youtuber wants to do this exact same build it will be (two sets of shells, two sets of buttons, IPS screen, USB-C battery, and two touch sensors ) approx. 250 bucks without taxes and shipping. I love the product but is definitely not a cheap for this exact same build. Hopefully Boxy Pixel allows people to do mix and match in the future.

I’ve just spent £100+ on mods for my GBC, can’t wait for them to arrive!

Always enjoy watching these, hope things are going well! What soldering iron do you use here?

As much as I love this mod, I wish it came in a plastic version. I know it's more premium to have that aluminium finish but it's gonna be a nightmare to replace in the event something goes wrong like a bad drop. The metal adhered to the glass also seems like a questionable choice with thermal expansion being a thing, and the glass used in the Q5 laminated display has had a couple concerns over its strength.

Holy crap, what kind of soldering iron is that? I was looking for a small kit like that, but couldn't find anything like it.

beautiful in a lot of ways!

Compared to existing GameBoy Pocket Color mods, at least this one doesn't require you to trim your PCB to fit into a Pocket shell. Nice one!

OMG, that tweezer wedge, never thought to do that before!

Looks incredible!!!

The nicest of the original Gameboy designs matched with a Colour motherboard and IPS screen? Tempting, really tempting, even though there's not really any games pre-Advance that really interests me

Very cool! I want to do this now!

This is what I've been missing. I get that you are trying to expand into other areas. But sometimes I just want to watch a build with some talking. Would love to see you tackle a wiiboy.

Got to say I always preferred the shape and size of the Pocket over the Color and that the quality was always a step down in terms of build quality. This mod actually not only solves it but makes it more modern too. May have to get one of these soon myself.

It looks amazing.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Good Work Elliot ❤❤

Damn what iron is that. Very cool. Looking for a new good one. Can't get the cheapos to hear up and melt correctly.

looks sick!

Liked the vid while the ad was playing before the clip.

*has a gameboy color in my pocket* Elliot: "Is that a gameboy color in your pocket?

Any links to some good entry level soldering irons or where you got your small one in the video? Keep up the great work an the build looks sick, would to see you maybe try an make your own uv shell or paint your own and add stencils for something different.

Metal & Colour absolutely gorgeous 👍

Love how this turned out! Personally I would rather have this modded GBC than the pocket.

On those desk shots I spotted a Mac Studio in the background, was not expecting to see that kind of baller hardware sitting there 👀

The Pocket is definitely the best form factor of the GB lineup ⭐

"Is that a Gameboy Color in your Pocket, or are you just machined to CNC me?"

How many different mods can their possibly be?!

As much as i like the Retro NT, it's just so much more fun putting together something like that yourself with your own hands to really personalize the device. I just really don't like that whole LiPo Battery thing… i would have preferred to use standard rechargeable batteries but i guess the Screen just needs more than the 3 Volts the original GBC needed. Love the fact that now it looks like a Game Boy Pocket always wanted to be, if aluminium cases would have been just as cheap as silverpainted plastic.

Great video! Where did you get the soldering iron and flux thing from? By the looks of things, they're items that could really help me.. Many thanks

The pocket is the most Beautiful design. I would love to see it in a color LCD version

Very cool!

I've been slowly getting into this stuff as a new hobby. Small gameboy color mods and some shell swaps of controllers. What is that soldering iron you are using? I can't make my mind up for the one I wanna get so I can do my first screen mod.

Dang those battery terminal wire colors are so nice.

It looks awesome I want to see the gba sp unhinged if you can

On a totally unrelated note, my first iFixit kit finally showed up and I got about 13 Nintendo DS lites, 7 don’t work, about to dig into that for the first time ever.

Can you link the flux and solder you use? I just don't even know if I'm using the right stuff or not.

God, that is stunning.

Hope everything's been looking up for you, King.

Might buy one

Incredible looking, but that charging port isn't in a good position to me, it goes under your hand so humidity, sweat and dirt can easily accumulate inside.

The pocket is my favorite body. This is perfect

Beautiful mod 😍

Why yes it is, also I'm happy to see you.

Hey, thanks to your channel is started to mod my first gameboy :) May I ask, where do you always get your stuff from? I would realy love to do more modding and fixing broken gameboys, but that stuff is super expensive here.... A used Gameboy Advance costs 60€ and more and you cant find a broken one...

Such a beauty.

That screwdriver flick 🔥
