Just adding I ended up completing the mod today. Drilled a hole and did it the common way, so I can still use headphones through the old port. But I plugged in headphones to the new port and they worked perfectly fine? You said this shouldn't be normal

The first one I ever did was by melting a hole through with my iron's tip. It was a sketchy hole, but with the jack installed, you couldn't tell.

Just take your time and make sure to clean your equipment afterward. You have no idea how many tips I went trough over the years becuase I didn't clean off the extra solder.

Yeah I'll keep that in mind. I've only used this iron for this gameboy. I've got a pretty poor quality case (took the circuit out at some point.. not sure why) which I might experiment with

You may use phones, but it will be very very quite. Clean but quite.
The "effort" As you call it is well worth it to retain the amplified headphone connection.

Effort, plus ability. Not sure I have the drill bits. I'll consider it.

Or you could just use the old jack that's in the gameboy and still bypass the amp. This tut goes into more detail: http://lowgain-audio.com/GBclassicmod.htm

Wait I just watched a bit of this... (just a note I'm not really looking to drill a hole in my case, will take a bit too much effort).

If I replace the inbuilt jack, will I not be able to use headphones? (This is fine as I can just use a different gameboy if I want to write on the go, and then use the modded one when I want to record).

Removing that board will cause no issues, but the trouble will be in finding a jack to fit snugly.

Awesome - I'll probably find some padding in some way. So should I be desoldering at the connections? Or can I just cut and insulate?

Hi guys,

I'm gonna install a prosound mod to my DMG-01 (already installed a backlight).
A lot of tutorials (more common) drill a hole in the case and install the new jack. However some gameboys for sale don't use that method, and instead install the jack in the old jack spot (where it would be without mod).

Can I just remove the board that contains the old jack, and solder in the new jack there, with the same connections shown in every tutorial? Or will this cause problems?

Thanks

Hi I'm looking for a Commodore 64, based in the UK, to buy. PM or reply to the thread. It can be faulty, but I'd like to know what the fault is. Also would prefer if it came with a power pack.

Thanks, Louis.
