Horrific Business Practices

Retro Modding Inc / Incube8 Games / Olivier Lemire is known for poor business practices, including not paying their vendors, defrauding game developers, very long delays on presale fulfillment, and very poor customer service.

support ghosting me after they sent broken items

Bought a gameboy advance ips screen from them installed it all correctly. then when I turned it on the new screen had tons and tons of horizontal grey lines through out it making it look terrible. I asked support if they have some kind of return or refund policy or if they could just send me a working one because it was clear that it was broken from the start. I’ve been ghosted by them for 2 months now and I’ve sent 3 emails asking… DONOT trust them because if they did something wrong they will not be fixing it.

great service

The newest products on the market combined with FANTASTIC customer service. They are available to help with questions before purchase as well as issues encountered during installations and otherwise. I've always had great experiences with RM.

No installation guidelines

Ordered Game Boy Backlight and Bivert Board. Received items 10 days later with no instructions on how to mount. A request from their website for installation instructions has fallen to deaf ears. No response back. Videos are easy to find online on installation of these items from different suppliers. Go to those folks instead of this Mickey Mouse outfit.

3 months and still no sign of the products I ordered, I've received emails from them asking to review the product I had ordered.

Unfortunately I can't review something that never showed up, ebay is far reliable at this point.

The best for any kind of modding

Been using these guys for 2 years now on numerous Gameboy projects for various clients and have to say they have great pricing, great variety, great support staff, and great shipping times/reward schemes.

TBH I used to use sites like HandHeld Legend, GodOfGaming & DeadpanRobot but none have the selection, quality support staff, and quick shipping times (Deadpan is in the UK but still manages to be slower than RetroModding coming from the US)

I wouldn't even bother going anywhere else this place is literally a one-stop-shop for all modding needs. Even stocks some NES, SNES, GameGear, etc... And their new UV line of DMG Gameboy shells are killer

The only other place I go now is BoxyPixel for their aluminum shells.

My only critique is that they don't stock some mods such as the USB-C mod for GBA-SP, the noise filter mod for GBA SP (They do stock this for regular GBA) which is a shame because you've to go elsewhere which isn't something I like doing because you know the shipping time and support won't be half as good as what RetroModding offer
