Jack @jackvmakes.com · 04/03/2026Pokémon 30th Anniversary is here. I’ve got a few things cooking to celebrate it. 080
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 29/12/2025Can you identify which screen belongs to which device? Choices: Analogue Pocket, ModRetro Chromatic, OEM Gameboy Color, CGS Gameboy Color 390
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 27/12/2025I can’t really test the screen under the summer noon sunlight in Kyoto but I think it looks pretty good under my work bench’s light. 0180
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 27/12/2025Definitely. I took two pictures last night to test the backlighting in the dark. The first picture is at the lowest brightness and the second picture is at its max. A tad washed out but not horrible at all. 010
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 26/12/2025This new screen kit for the GBC is probably one of my favorites so far. 2200
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 15/12/2025Always enjoy assembling @mousebitelabs.bsky.social MGBC boards! Especially when all I need to do is add the CPU, RAM, and a few other pieces. Big thanks to InsideGadgets for selling the half assembled boards. 😁 0100
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 14/12/2025Gameboy SP I built as a raffle prize for the annual Gameboy Discord Gift Exchange! 1160

Jack @jackvmakes.com · 05/04/2025Really glad I finally picked up this game. It’s such a fun and casual game. 140
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 16/03/2025I have no clue who the original owner of this video is but I added some music and sound effects #pokemon 020
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 12/03/2025Is Pokémon Legends Z-A going to finally tell me what this was about? I did my waiting! 12 years of it! 140
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 09/03/2025First time seeing someone selling my work even though it’s non-commercial. I’m a bit flattered and annoyed. No credit more mention of me in the listing and charging €12 for a HASL board is ridiculous, the ones I sell are at least ENIG. 😂 1171
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 26/02/2025When I have a little bit of time to burn I just play some Pokemon Puzzle 😁 0151
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 04/02/2025A potential customer recently asked me if I did "clean" soldering work and I was kind of offended. My work isn't perfect but I have never felt like I did sloppy work 😂 3140
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 28/01/2025On today’s adventures I fixed a customer’s Bucket Mouse MGBC board. They did have soldering experience, the CPU was more challenging than they thought and made some mistakes. The cpu pin broke off as soon as I applied minor pressure, luckily the missing pins weren’t necessary for operation. 160
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 09/01/2025So, anyone have any idea what these are? I only got a 2 second video because they were moving so fast and my dog didn’t want to stop sniffing. 110
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 08/01/2025I finally got myself a big boy soldering station. I hope it was worth it. 😅 4190
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 06/01/2025What kind of AI generated captcha garbage is this? Sat and stared at this for a good few minutes and I’m still confused as to what I’m being asked. 040
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 06/01/2025It’s pouring rain and this guy decided to go into the backyard and do some excavating. This is the look he gave me, after I told him he’s going to need a bath. 040
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 04/01/2025Personally, I like the worn look that some oem Gameboys have gotten with time. If you’re a fan as well, I do have this “sleeper” MGBC build that is up for sale: ko-fi.com/s/46010b055d 2120
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 01/01/2025I've had a lot of fun this year with modding and building Gameboys. Hoping 2025 will be even better. 2191
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 18/12/2024A customer sent me a bunch of Gameboy Color boards in ziplock bags 2100
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 13/12/2024I made a post asking people which one of these they thought was the Chromatic, but I really meant to ask: Which one of these looks the best? 7221
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 12/12/2024I bought this card because I really liked the artwork. That's pretty much it. 140
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 10/12/2024Don’t be me, redesigned a PCB, accidentally submitted an older revision to be manufactured and assembled, which took over 2 months for whatever reason. Now I’m left with a bunch of boards that are spicy and useless. I guess I should stop naming files like: “pcb_new”, “pcb_new1”, “pcb_new1_latest” 6342
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 04/12/2024A bit of know-how, some elbow grease, and a sprinkle of early 2000s emo music and this thing now has purpose again. Just a reminder that most things can be saved from becoming landfill. 1174
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 04/12/2024Link port is functional and I just checked audio. Basically everything works this point. Board is going in for another bath and we’ll be done. 😁 231
Jack @jackvmakes.com · 04/12/2024Don’t let your dreams be dreams! Anyway, cleaning the cart slot and using a pick at all the corrosion really helped. Games all boot up just fine. Moving on to the headphone jack and then the link port. 170
