You are doing God's work.
I like your vids!
Oh, ashens, I didn’t expect you to be here!
would be hilarious if he made it only to convert it into a pop station console.
Hey Stuart
An excellent comment
I tried so damn hard to pull this off. Weeks of work. Hundreds of dollars. All for absolutely no reason. Soldering 34 wires to 64 pads which aren’t meant to have wires soldered to them is bloody hard work. I’m also not an expert at soldering, or shell modification, or spray painting.
I hope you see the fun in this. I tried so hard.
The Retro Future this is the best thing ever made, your hard work wasn’t for nothing thank you
The Retro Future I would say it was worth a shot, but it wasn’t. If you plan on trying this again (which you probably won’t) maybe try using tape instead of soldering.
People go check out his game boy game as a Rom watch czcams.com/video/WtCS8DrHc1I/video.html To find out how
maybe next year at this time, you can try repairing it as an anniversary of this abomination! stay awesome Elliot, you're an inspiration!
The Retro Future loved this your vids are mint mate so hyped for the gameboy macro
Moment of silence for this man, he had 3 third-degree burns to give a GBA SP an overbite
Ah yes, the fabled Longboy.

The Game Man Advance
He foreshadowed it
That's what she said.

Im really glad this showed up in my recommended
Hi!
lol how this comment goes unnoticed
Hi
Lol
Yo
This is cursed and also the most amazing thing ever.
Blursed
Ds.... the forbidden cursed prequel😂
No it's cursed. Just cursed
Everyone: I wish the Gameboy Advance SP had an actual headphone jack.
The Retro Future: Did I hear dual screens?
@@camthesaxman3387 And he did it lol
he already did that
Awh damn one of my screens are cracked.. thank goodness i have this other screen i put on there so i dont have to repair it!
A USE CASE! 😂
“I precisely measured it... with my eyes.” That made me laugh
Lana me too 😂👌🏻
Best part of the video 😂
"I gave this Gameboy Advance SP seven more B buttons and two more volume sliders"
One question WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
EGGPLANT DAVE gotta have that element of choice
@minecraftfan 27 Exactly. We need to add an x and y button
Would personally like to thank you for not having an intro at all. So appreciated that when I binge watch your whole channel I'm not sitting through a two minute intro every six seconds.
"I had almost no tools or experience. And by the way, I built a double screen Game Boy Advance SP."
*uhhh excuse me?*
Therapist: “The gameboy double screen sp doesn’t exist, it can’t hurt you”. Gameboy double screen sp:
Mars_1997046 i was searching for this comment XDDDDDDD
The proper term would be Gameboy advance SSPP
Gameboy Advance DSP?
retro future: "I gave the gameboy advance dual screens "
nintendo 2004: " write that down, write that down"
Why did I read that in spongebob voice 🤣
So what happened is that they took the idea of this monstrosity and made it even worse by removing the hinge. And so, the 2DS was born...
Id call it The Game Twin
6:16 the pure joy followed by getting out a phone and taking pictures. All because you are a proud papa. The boy is a live!
When the 2 screens came on at the same time, that had to be one of the best emotional highs someone could have.
“Cut it up with my Dremel, which is the nickname I gave to my knife” LMFAO
Óscar Merlos Indeed
Let me join your LMFAO too.
all that comment requesting him to buy a dremel finally make him snap and naming his knife one.
Mans can buy a gameboy but not a dremel
lol
"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."
Truly an amazing feat! Great vid as always❤
Basically all scientists were in quarantine and thats how we have what we have today
"He's too dangerous to be kept alive!"
One of thescreens could show what the other person sees when you are playing multiplayer
Rocco Leader ooooooooo
So much work tho
When you realize Elliot basically made an early prototype example of the DS.
Have you seen the one alphadream made under Partners in Time's development? It's really cool!
U mean the game and watch
@@TeruteruBozusama I have it's amazing
@@RedVelvetUnderground333 the game and watch influenced the dual screens and clam shell but that's all.
Most people don't realize that the GBA SP actually was the bridge Nintendo used to make the DS, alot of what they built for the DS hardware wise was seen as upgrades they already made in the GBA SP or planned for it. There's was also long ago images they made showing a GBA SP shell to house two screens before making the original clamshell prototype we all know as concept art. Before they even scrapped the Gameboy line they were testing development of a touchscreen for the GBA SP with integrated almost PDA style features.
Btw everyone should follow RetroHai on FB he does a lot of mods and recently just made a Dual Screen mod too on an original gameboy.
A for Amazing Effort.
B for "But why?"
C for "I see my DS over there and I wonder if it can be modded similarly...?"
A four screened DS?!
A.M.A: WORLD Oh god.....we are entering cursed territory.....AND I LOVE IT.
@@a.m.aworld2802 NO! A TWELVE SCREENED DS! IT'S NAME WILL BE THE BFDIDDSS!
maybe nds screens on GBA-SP
D for "What's happening again???"
"I'm going to sleep early toady."
Me at 3:40 in the morning
The thing ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Hey, been watching your stuff for quite a while; I have found a lot of your videos very helpful with my own projects, and have learned a lot! I GREATLY appreciate you posting your successes, as well as your "failures"; they are always genuinely interesting, and at the very least captivating. I can see how your evolving from troubleshooting/repairs to these more creative videos, and I think that is fantastic! Thank you for sharing, and please keep evolving; will be looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!
You HAVE to dub this thing "The Overbite"
tode TV Y e s
Game Boy Advance OB
Next Project:
"Giving the Dualscreen Gameboy Advance SP another screen for no reason"
And after that: I made a GBA SP out of screens only
Yuzuki1337 I mean, a GameBoy Advance SP with dual touchscreens sounds pretty cool. :)
@@samuelpierce2.088 I was thinking the same thing but when I consider playing on smartphone emulators I'm sure most people would prefer physical buttons
Yuzuki1337 Ehhh...fair enough.
@@samuelpierce2.088 I still really love the idea though, maybe one day we will see it happen. :)
Next episode: Giving DS another set of screen for no reason.
Title it the QS and sell it as a new handheld
Oh god
@@FriskyD. Nice thinking, because if you named it the FS (four screens) then people may confuse the acronym with FS (file system)
Uno Reserve Card
@@tredI9100 I don't think he thought like that.
DS stands for Dual Screen und QS would stand for Quadro Screen.
FS would stand for Four Screens and that's not how it works.
Just an idea, for the cable soldering, I'd have used kapton tape, it really helps isolating zones from heat.
I hope it helps!
They say it couldn’t be done.
They didn't know the retro future...
CuteAss Tiger I did watch the whole video. It was technically done, just not in a fully working form. But he had proof that it could be done.
Savoke they called him a madman
Up next: "I made a VR Headset out of 2x Gameboy Advance SP"
blackcorvo 💯
Now that's a good one
Yeah better be not like' Nintendo already made, coz gameboy advance is Colourful display 👍
i think a non stereoscopic vr headset could be possible with a really long screen.
Thank you for your honesty with the build and equally covering your failures (aka learning experiences) as much as your successes. These are the kind of projects that can leave you disappointed, but you actually walk away with a lot of knowledge that will only lead to better things going forward.
The all new: Gameboy DS
Nintendo DS-SP Advance
He did it, he actually did it

The WHY edition
Good one! 🤣
ever thought that ds stood for duel screen
@@kanekiken2363 preeetty sure it does
Man idk why but ur videos like that are so much fun to watch
That red is the same red as the one my brother had as a kid lol, didn’t even blink twice at the paint color. You did a great job with the mod, can’t wait to see you tackle it again better prepared!
Reminds me of the classic arcade cabinets that had a second screen on top of them, so that if you were in the crowd and couldn't get close enough to see the main screen, you could watch the gameplay on the second screen.
This man is losing his mind staying at home, we're all doomed to madness
Yes
u seem a lot happier now adays, whatevers making u this positive must be pretty nice.
just ran into this video and binged your other Gameboy modifications, the modified kitbashed consoles are well done, dude you're in need of a 3D printer. Quite talented.
Mom, can I get a DS?
You already have a DS at home.
The DS at home:
she's not wrong lmaoo
therapist: long gba sp isn't real it can't hurt you.
long gba sp:
First video I've seen of yours. Passionate video gamer and crazy electrical engineer. You've got yourself a subscriber. 👍
OMG....
Well, I wildly guessed 'he might used some kind of 3D printer or more gadgets', but I was definitely wrong. You are a great craftsman with magnificent engineering skills. I still cannot believe my eyes! Wonderful!
I like the idea could build a custom case with a screen on the front and one on back so when you play games for your channel The camera can see one and you can see the other keep up the good work mate.
This is the most cursed console i’ve ever seen
Lol
*handheld
@@thejman3489 Handheld or not, it's still a console. A _cursed_ handheld console.
Berkant Köycü nah bro it’s fucking blessed
@@aidancommenting Handheld and console are both systems. A handheld system is meant to be held in your hands. A console system is meant to be an at home system, set down and plugged into the tv, not to be picked up while I'm use.
always like people using what they have available in innovative ways or through sheer willpower. nice work!
Very interesting build! Subscribed.
My therapist: "The two-screened SP isn't real, it can't hurt you"
Retro Future:
Sigh, hopefully nintendo themselves makes a system with two screens someday.
ēgg never heard of it
ēgg your so dumb
@ēgg idiot
@ēgg Dumb!
@ēggwow really now huh?
I have faith you can do it can't wait for you next attempt
A valiant effort on a herculean task. You are my hero.
The Retro Future: “my genius... is almost... frightening”
Advance DS SP, a weapon to surpass metal gear
This looks like a fun experiment! I think the shell turned out pretty nice! It's pretty hard to put stuff like this together. :)
I think what you're looking for is a "DS"
Thank you stalin very cool
I liken this project to how NASA described Apollo 13's mission: A Successful Failure.
Everyone: "....But why?"
TheRetroFuture: "for no reason."
Although it didn't go as planned, it still made for a very enjoyable video. Absolute legend. Also another plus for that toilet paper joke.
That was cool! The dual screens look like the old vs mode in some games.
Great video! Never even thought of doing something like this!
What is the problem with my favorite youtubers commenting on the same video
"I had one sheet of wet sand paper under the sink in case we ran out of toilet roll" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you get a thumbs up for that 👍
This is the worst, most useless project, and i LOVE it.
Consider getting a PCB factory to make you some of those printed ribbon cables, or get some FFC cable off the shelf with the right pitch. If you have a dead DVD drive, maybe you have the right one right there, connecting the pickup. You can probably cut it at an angle, strip a bit, and then bridge drag solder it to the display cable at the connector.
I absolutely loved the vid and i am waiting for the revisit hopefully that time it will go to plan and you'll have two working screens
I thought you'd actually invested in a dremel before you said that's the name you gave your knife. Excellent video as always!
This is one of the most batshit insane case mods I’ve ever seen on a gameboy. Well done Elliot.
That's such a funny and crazy mod but kind of cool, You went this far you should definitely finish it. I am sure you can figure it out. And dude you seriously need to get a dremmel.
this is probebly your best video. i laughed out loud several times 10/10
A Gameboy Advance SP screen:
This guy: _t h e r e i s a n o t h e r_
This makes me think of the drawings I did when I was like 7 or 8. I drew a gba sp with folding screens on either side.
I like how you were playing the title screen of Mario Kart Super Circuit at the beginning.
This is a must have before leaving to the afterlife lol You sir are the future video games! love the video!
Next challenge add a hdmi port so you can make a homemade gameboy switch. Or display port of any kind.
This gba sp is what my anxiety looks like outside of my brain
POV: you look in the comments and say "ashens? Nathaniel bandy?"
Congrats! Your GameBoy Advance SP has learned Bonus Screen!
Next up: a Nintendo S, a ds with 1 screen!
Edit: He actually made one!
that’s been done with DSs that have broken top screens
dasty wait, really?
@@astralmaster I mean if the top screen is broke lol
Not Losing Now i would give you a link, but since you’ve seen his video you probably saw that there were others lol
And it *_only_* plays GBA games ._.
My first thought on seeing this was that you had somehow shoehorned a DS's innards into a GBA shell, but this seems even madder than that.
i wish more people know about you, you deserve more subscribers i swear
Wow another screen that’s a incredible invention that’s so cool since I love the sp.😄
Operator: 911 what's your emergency?
Me: 911, I think my GBA has 2 screens
The hilarious thing is that, of course using more professional tools, this is probably exactly what the very first prototype for the DS looked like.
Actually we've seen what it was, it was a sliding mechanism.
So even less reliable than the awful clamshell they went with.

Parabéns pela criatividade!
Você está cada vez melhor
Absolutely blessed video
Now I can only imagine Eliott maniacally laughing, like a demon
"HAHAHA, IT'S ALIIIIIIIVVVEEEEEE !"
So close, you'll conquer it next time. You did really well to get all those wires soldered on and working, and the shell looked great. Very enjoyable video, one of your best I would say 👍👍👍👍
Hey Vince!
I truly enjoyed seeing this and I applaud your attempt! I just subscribed and turned on notifications, because I seriously want to see you succeed at this. Best of luck, and keep at it!
Idea: Do the same circuit, but place the second screen instead behind the other one, then someone can watch your gameplay sitting in front of you.
or even better make the second screen rotatable this is probably near impossible to pull off tho
Government: "The quarantine ain't that bad"
*Normal people*
“Nintendo would like to know your location”
Love ur vids Elliot. Mad props for showing its not fake too
Loved the absurdity of this! But it gave me an idea... What is maybe a more practical application of this is to put two screens in, but with them back to back instead of one above the other, so the second screen is on the outside. It would require a thicker top half of the shell, but then you could play and someone could watch you play from the other side. You may even consider adding a cover for the outside screen for protection, but that might require and extra hinge or slide, probably outside of a 'proof of concept' thing. But then it could be left covering the screen if you just need the inside screen to play.
You could have used a 2ds screen since they are all one screen
They are!? That's so cool!
Different connector and encoding, it just would freak out
Pat Millman If I remember correctly it is one screen like in 1 part but the part under the bezel doesn’t actually have pixels to light up.
Skull Kid Yeah sometimes mixing slightly old tech with newer tech isn't a good idea.
Now build a Nintendo DS Lite into it and voila: GameDS Advance SP Lite
Wtf the name lmao
This is a success in my book. Incredible work! What about putting the second screen on the back of the first one? That way it has a purpose, to show your gameplay to someone else?? Custom print a thicker screen housing? Idk.
Amazing!
Well done
I feel like this is one of those crazy videos that'll come up in practically everyone's recommended
In the words of Thomas Edison, “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” Keep at it Elliot, we can all hear the excitement and dedication to make it work in your voice. Can’t wait to see v2, you can do it!
Now this is the content I'm looking for
Thanks The Retro Future you made me to a another level
