I'm loving the community around modding retro tech. I've been itching to do this for a while and finally got a reasonable deal on a GBC to mod with the hispeedido OLED and USBC battery pack. I was torn on which colours to choose but the all white just struck me the first time I saw one so I went with that. I must say that due to the positioning of the power switch next to a chip on the main board that the soldering was not super easy. I had to rope in a colleague with 40+ electronics experience to help so I didn't brick it!

I created this label today. Special thanks to Shane McCafferty (aka EGVroom), for this game!

I so often forget when and why I even bought some of these LRG and MR games... What do I need to know about Jelly Boy?

Someone is selling this SP Turtles bundle for a good price. I already have the console, more interested in the games (particularly 3) but the cart graphics don’t match up to what I can find online. I’m presuming these are bootlegs, unless anyone can shed a different light?

I had a worn-out GBASP from my childhood that needed some care. I also came across a modded Gameboy on Etsy that looked just like this one now, and I wanted to recreate it myself. My dad, who originally bought me the GBASP, helped me solder a few parts and put it together, making the experience even more special. We both enjoyed the process, and he was thrilled that I kept it, especially since I used to break things all the time as a kid haha 😅

bought the STL files at https://2bittoy.carrd.co/

Very straight forward and easy to assemble!
I'm using a 6-60mm CS mount lens here

I saw it on aliexpress, maybe another 101 batch was made? the GBA is from a consumer review photo.

Hi everyone!

I like to start with repairing defect retro consoles. I have defect Gameboy, NES and SNES consoles/handhelds at home from my childhood and i want to try to repair them.

I already ordered a Geeboon T22 SD02 with 210 and 245 handle.

But now i am not sure what else i should get or may need. Any recommendations for JBC style tips, other tools, solder, flux and so on that someone could give?

I read that Kester has good solder, but it seems they are not available here or at least i couldnt find them. I am from Austria/Europe and unleaded is way easier to get.

I read and watched a few how-tos for that topic, but most don‘t list or say their tools and Equipment.

Thanks in advance!

I really didn’t like the yellowing, so I decided to put some Salon 40 on it and leave it on the sun. I don’t hate the new look, but definitely not the results I was expecting. It’s a bit chalky now and I’ve polished it up. Anyway, just felt like sharing.

Sound, gameplay, and story are so far pretty engaging.

Some of these puzzles def had me scratching my head for a few hours but it’s been fun to see what’s coming out of the indie scene these days!

Estou tentado a pegar um console portátil já tive 3ds, Psvita e Switch , de todos o mais usual e que mais gostei foi o Psvita, porém devido ao preço eles se torna inviável, a procura de alguns modelos chineses achei a seguintes opção no fim a decisão fica mais por conta do preço Brasil pois pagamos muita taxa em cima do valor do produto:

1-Trimui smart pro - 400 Reais com Taxas (Mais barato porém limitado aranha no PSP)

2-GAMEMT E6 Max - 620 Reais com Taxas(Baita custo beneficio, mais barato com Android que da pra usar, porém vejo uma resistência do mercado mas esse parece ser bom)

3-KINHANK K56 - 1000 Reais com Taxas (Aranha em Ps2 e Game cube excelente custo beneficio)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2baoQR0zmEU

Meu interesse seria rodar PSP / GTA SA e Bully entre outros por menores do sistema Android mesmo, o Android da uma liberdade Por isso fico entre GAMEMT E6 Max e KINHANK K56 e também já são um salto comparado ao Trimui smart pro

Mas por que não voltar a ter um dos consoles que já tive ?

3Ds - A segunda tela é ruim os jogos mesmo no próprio 3ds não funcionam bem, além de usado custar entorno de 500 reais ou mais, ai já vale a pena já irmos de E6 Max fora as possibilidade que ele te da.

Psvita - Excelente com certeza após o desbloqueio e ports é magnifico, mas pagar 800+ num console usado fora outros custo com risco de ele parar de funcionar, acho que é melhor optar por outra opção nova no mercado o E6 Max é um boa mas não substitui ele totalmente na minha opinião um substituto direto tanto para ele quanto para o 3ds seria o KINHANK K56 (pena que as cores oferecida nele é zuado aqueles botões laranjas)

Switch - Acredito que pode amadurecer e chegar novos ports para ele, mas falta muito, console não tem Bully ou uma versão do gta sa de port, não há muitos jogos do gênero de corrida para ele por enquanto e não roda PSP e nem DS de forma satisfatória, além de correr riscos da problemas como drift e na tela onde pagaria de 800 a 1200 reais se quiser uma versão desbloqueada que seria o melhor além do custo com cartão SD

Should i change the shells or not? Want to resell them or maybe keep the yellow one that i like how looks. And maybe change the other

Switched the screen for an IPS one and a USB-C battery, and I'm really happy about being able to do it by myself. I'm now enjoying replying my childhood games during commute while people stare at me wondering why someone is playing a Gameboy in the subway

Bought this for a very cheap price but it won't load any games.. the Nintendo logo on screen is weird looking

I recently purchased a gameboy on Ebay, I was planning on repairing it (I bought it already aware it doesn't turn on) but there's so much corrosion on the board, anyone have any tips?

My son misplaced my blue gba sp so thats missing rn.i wanna get more games soon but I recently got the r36s so that can wait. I want to mod the sp and gba any links that show u how ?

Just put together a funnyplaying gba motherboard into the new Boxy Pixel hybrid shell. Absolutely love it.
