Hello Makho,
Your installation looks great!
I really appreciate you have made a video. This module is a bit hard to solder and I wanted to make my own video for explaining how to install it but I don't have more GBC for that 🙁
About the lights, when the GBC is running out of battery the light brightness will decrease as the original led. I made a video and during the almost 9 hours the GBC was working it’s appreciable how the brightness is decreasing slowly.
The colors are white for power on, red for charging and green for charging done.
If you have a 3mm transparent LED, you can cut the legs and a bit more and use it to put it inside the hole of GBC shell, then the lights from the lights board will looks better. You also can put another thing to help the light go to the front, maybe a transparent plastic.
About the cable between the two boards, you can try to adhere it with glue to the edge of the GBC board, and cut it the exactly long you need, It may looks more pretty.
Something like this: https://giltesa.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/GBC_USB-C_CHARGING_KIT_16.jpg
Kind regards!
Oh, thank goodness! I was hoping someone, anyone would put up a video on Gil Tesa’s USB-C GBC mod. His instructions on his site are fine, but I do better with video tutorials. I’m still waiting for my batteries from AliExpress.
15:13 a hot air gun with a small end part would work, put the gameboy's board on something so it is completely flat and both sides aren't covered, set the new led board on where it needs to go after adding solder, heat it from the back side of the gameboy's board with the hot air at 375°C for 40% lead 60% tin solder (or 375°C to 425°C if lead free solder is used [not all lead free solder is the same so one kind might not melt at a lower temperature but then another kind that's thinner will]) and the lowest air flow setting for that temperature, let the led board pull itself center and remove the heat then let it sit for a little bit for the solder to cool, after the solder has cooled check for shorts if there aren't any then it's done but if there are shorts the part will probably have to be removed cleaned up and put back on to get rid of them.
Apart of having an integrated charge port, I find the voltage drop of NiMh batteries to be really annoying. Especially with flash carts and IPS screens. There are noticeably more sound hum with NiMh than with a LiPo or regular alkalines. Plus they usually have a hard time booting with flash carts.
That’s the main reason I like performing LiPo mods.
Thanks for the video ! This kit seems to be quite interesting.
I wonder if SP batteries fit? Because then you could use some spring connectors for sp batteries. Perhaps cut the battery compartment out entirely and just 3d print a holder suited for SP batteries.
"Is something getting hot…?"

Shame we can't just mod the battery posts/compartment so that we can pull the GBA SP battery method of simply 'drop it in'
Too bad you can’t make the charge port Recharge the Rechargeable AA batteries
When I was in 2nd grade, a kid in my school grabbed a lithium ion battery and then stabbed it. It caught on fire.
I love your clear explanations of pro's and con's in the description. Nicely done!
Hey makho, is there any way to charge NiMH (nickel metal hydride) batteries inside the shell?
Is there a good option for Type C charging while using NIMH batteries? Also would that work with change and play? Wondering if a Type C mod would be worth it. I know I've been really wanted a Boxy Pixel GBC but they've been OOS for awhile it seems. Love the designs with add ons ready to on the shell with no physical modifications needed
hi There,
love this mod 🙂
just wondering i sawe your playing LED is blue and when its charging its red
so my questions are
1. Does it have a low battery colour?
2. Does the red light turn off when charged ?
Since this mod disables the battery terminals, would it be possible to plug in a battery connector and solder the ends to said terminals and use rechargeable AAs?
Thanks makho! Great video, very easy to follow.
Quick question – I've completed the install, but for some reason the power on LED doesn't seem to be working. The system powers on, and the red and green charging LEDs work fine. As far as I can tell, there aren't any issues with the cables or the soldering, but I'm not super sure what I'm looking for. Are there any reasons off the top of your head that you'd think would cause the power LED to not turn on?
Looks good and convenient with modifications for some. But i am concern that it by passes the f1 fuse so no protection there. I feel it still easier to do TP4056 board and plenty of space below area of battery compartment (opposite of speaker). Still pretty cool though.
Really interesting video and super well explained. I was thinking about doing that mod too on nmy GBC, would this board work also with a protecte 14500 cell? (making right connections is not a problem)
Do you think a slightly thicker battery such as a 123048 will fit better with funnyplaying GBC shell?
Whenever I plug mine in it flashes green once and won't charge. Gbc still turns on because I fully charged it.
Yo, Makho! Could you point me to a li-po small enough for a gameboy pocket? Thanks! Nice vid btw!
Sold
Out already
I'm having no luck with this mod. LEDS come on and seems to be charging but will not power the board.
Do you use a fume vacuum? I'm just wondering because I don't hear one in the background. And wondering which kind you'd recommend.
Does this work with the clean power for GBC?
So have you experienced a problem where the game you put in resets it's battery save? Because that's what's been happening to mine after I followed this guide
Does anyone have rough ideas of charge time?
If don’t have much experience soldering should I try this mod?
What is the battery life like compared to AA batteries?
Man, I came a little too late on this product cause RGRS is out of stock, and I believe same goes to the guy in Spain.
