You should look at some soldering tutorials, though. You really shouldn't manipulate the connections after you've soldered them in place (cutting stuff off) and you should apply the solder while you're heating the iron, not dipping it in place with the iron. :)
is there a way to convert the stereo output into a mono one? i thought about just connecting both left and right together to 1 contact. but read online that it might damage either the sound source or the speakers. im not really familiar with impedance and all that jazz... got any tips?
hey, is that 1/8th inch jack gonna work with the standard 3.5 mm headphones? i've found instances on the internet stating that it will work, and others saying it wont. also, your link is broken i think? I'm interested in making my own kit and the site wont load :(
Hey Nonfinite, thanks a ton for this video, just ordered a few kits from you and finished one mod. If i could bother you for one second i have a question, when i adjust the volume on my game boy the right output has some crackling, or static, to it. Sometimes it cuts out until mess with the volume control again. Is this a result from faulty saudering? or maybe the volume control is bad. Once again thanks again. Cheers!
@chasegoostree86 Hi there. Fortunately this is easily fixed. Get a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a q-tip and apply it to the volume knob. If you squeeze a drop or two INTO the potentiometer itself, then rotate the wheel up and down vigorously for a few seconds it should clean right up. Don't do this while your DMG is on!
Why didn't Nintendo just include this when making them? I don't understand.

@Schafeo Pro-sound seems less technical and 'dangerous' so mod that and then work your way onto bigger and better things.

you're actually suppose to bring the solder over to the solder joint instead of melting it on your iron. But Whatever works for you! ( :

Is it necessary to wear an antistatic wristband while doing this?

Nice video, dude!

Question; is it not supposed to make Stereo Output, or did I make a mistake in soldering?
