ULTIMATE SEGA GAME GEAR | McWill LCD + RetroSix Custom Shell | Full Tutorial | Retro Renew

In today's episode of Retro Renew, I go all out and completely modify a Sega Game Gear! I’ll be outfitting it with a McWill LCD kit as well as a custom Green RetroSix shell and buttons! I must say, this is the most difficult LCD mod I have done to date and certainly requires some soldering skills. While this was a difficult mod, it was most certainly worth it! I am upgrading this Game Gear for my friend Matthew McCheskey who composed the intro music to my Retro Renew series! I hope he is happy with the results! Anyway, please sit back, relax and enjoy the video!

Note: McWill Kit is only compatible with following Game Gear models: 837-9130 / 837-9024 / 837-8560 / 837-7996 & 837-7719-01
