First off -- a number of new patrons have joined us recently, and that's awesome! Thank you for your support, and welcome!

In other news -- in a recent podcast I spoke about how I tried to order one of those custom backlit Game Boy Colors from Taobao, but the order fell through. I've been tipped off that some people are starting to see orders go through again, so I'm giving it another shot. I'm not making a big deal about it publicly (like on Twitter) because I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but if one ends up in my hands I will absolutely be doing a teardown video!

Hey Colin, I think you need to check this out: <a href="https://bennvenn.myshopify.com/products/gbc-backlight-conversion-ribbon-cable" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://bennvenn.myshopify.com/products/gbc-backlight-conversion-ribbon-cable</a> It's an adapter ribbon from BennVenn for using an AGS-101 screen with a GameBoy Color. I ordered one a couple days ago - I will be doing a video about it and the modding process myself. I wasn't originally interested in the back-lighting a GBC until everyone went crazy about the TaoBao listing, but after I did my first GBA backlight mod (inspired by your video), I figured what the heck. Anyways, I have kept a very close watch on that page since I ordered and have seen it go back in stock at least once for a few minutes. Anyways, I figured you would be very interested to see that. The internet (or BennVenn at least) seems to have found a way around the high cost of creating new screens for the GBC! :) Cheers, my friend!

I've had tons of people reach out about the BennVenn mod, including someone who beta-tested it. Stay tuned!
