ATTENTION: it has been brought to my attention that the super DMG motherboard has an issue with the link port. The design on the board I used in the video has a couple traces that are incorrect and could cause damage if connected to another Game Boy via a link cable. Since my video was released it has been corrected by kamicane and the updated design has been uploaded to his GitHub. Unfortunately the kits sold by J&T Studios most likely have the issue with the link port. I recommend that you do not purchase the kit unless you do not plan to use the link port. Huge thank you to consolesandcasks for bringing this to my attention 👍 Cheers!
another homebrew with a production run of 4.
why a super gameboy, and not a super gameboy 2
That's really cool, I just think that loosing the Nintendo startup logo removes some of the authenticity. Not to mention I think I'd rather harvest it from a broken DMG than the super Gameboy as I think those are rarer. Also, I don't mind waiting a few seconds to play.
I often have to wait 40 minutes for console and game updates on modern consoles as I don't play often haha
>Decked out with the latest mods.
>>>Still uses 4 batteries.
Does this work with the original GB screen?
So a SGB was gutted to build a Game Boy clone with a nonfunctional link port? Bummer. Cool that this project exists but it would be a lot cooler if you didn't need to destroy original hardware.
How does the new board affect battery life?
Is it the same as the original board (with the same screen) or were they able to improve efficiency?
Although, I guess most power is consumed by the screen and the CPU anyway, so there's not much they can do about it?
solder paste would have been a better move
now do this with the sega genesis and n64, and a lot of mobos will be saved
Is it possible/legal to reverse engineer the CPU to reproduce?
Didn't expect to see a name I recognize in the list of people who contributed to it.
Homie said Analogue who? Macho's taking over
Only "Cons" I could see is that with a modern take on a older unit, wouldn't a sd card slot make sense? Also USB-C Charging would be another welcomed update. Other than that its perfect.
Like your tweezers any make and model ? Also Awesome video once again. Too bad we can't just buy the cpu's like we do for PC's, Probably only built for the Game Boy, closed source.
what is that intro song omggg it so good
The only real negative I see is that you need an actual GameBoy CPU which is a limited component these days,
Hey Tito! Another great video in the bag. I have one small critique on your soldering of the chip. You should tin the pads prior to setting the chip on the board to create stronger connections from the board to the legs of the chip.
Your intro confuses me at :26 seconds
I think the loop might be cued wrong?
Why hasn’t the CPU also been reverse engineered? (Pardon me if that’s an obvious/ignorant question)
Tito your video are perfect, you deserve million of views! Ciao!
the alligment of the screen is awful
This is awesome – But please reconsider advertising the destruction of a SGB for the CPU.
It reminds me of everyone who was destroying a perfectly good Playchoice 10 board, just to put the PPU in their NES.
I'd do this if there was a gameboy sp replacement board without the cpu
It was so ridiculous that you claimed that there were no cons to this. Why undermine an otherwise good video with such a stupid claim? You're clearly letting those affiliate links get in the way of you publishing accurate and useful information. Of course you'd be urging people to spend a bunch of money on the parts needed to buy these when you have a partnership with the sellers, and you can't monetise second hand DMGs which are dirt cheap in comparison.
GBC/GBA/GSP edition wpuld be amazing 🥺
Like the video, but hit dislike because of the sponsor.
What happens when the super game boy cartridges are not available
Not mentioning the requirement to salvage a CPU is a pretty big con. This is difficult soldering work and you’re potentially trashing perfectly functional original hardware (as you did here). I don’t feel that this is fully in keeping with ‘preservation’.
I’m, definitely more of a fan of solutions which don’t use old parts.
what about the battery life that ips and cpu and audio amp has to run it out quick why is that not a con ?
Since it bypasses the boot logo, doesn’t that essentially allow you to play pirated GB games now?
This is makes me happy
fantastic job of soldering tito!!!!!
Tito, I painstakingly recreated the DMG OEM PCBs. I’ve shared gerber files on my dmg reboot repo on gh. I am not selling anything, I‘m just supporting the community.
I'm surprised that the mod didn't include swapping out the AA batteries for an internal rechargable battery pack via USB-C. That would seem like a logical jump from old school to new with this mod as well.
How much is all together?
Another amazing video! Thanks Tito!
I’m curious about the spot on the pcb labeled “for stock audio amp only”.
The og gameboy put out some really crisp sound though. That's impressive
Love your channel dude!!, Is there a way to jailbreak the Sega Mini 2?
