This is the third and final time I'm doing this battery mod. The first time, I used a CleanJuice battery mod, and one of the battery terminals ripped the entire solder pad off, fucking the power board to hell, and my attempts at repairing it just made it worse.
So then I finally tried a 2nd...
Not gonna lie, it's hard to match that face with the voice and personality of the mask.
I think I know what to do here... That pathetic 1000mAh battery isn't doing anyone any favors. I'll have to work some magic in the coming weeks.
UPDATE: I added a passive "anti-theft device" with my name on it, lol.
I just reused one of my 3 Funnyplaying IPS cases, as it's perfect to hold game carts for the GBA. Additionally, I could also make 4 more foam slots in the top foam for a total of 9 carts, but I don't have that many yet. I'm waiting on my bootlegs to get here so I can flash my fave GBA games to...
As you can see by the picture, you can perfectly fit a 703048 LiPo battery inside of a DS Lite. It's rated for the same 1000mAh, and roughly the same size. I'll be cutting off the 2.00mm JST connector and adding my own 1.25mm JST connectors instead. You could always solder it directly if you...
I didn't fall for his bullshit, lol. He claimed that there was something wrong with my bank account, and that was red flag #1. Red flag #2 is when he gave me a very specific and shady email address, posting it to me without hesitation. Red flag #3 was when his Mercari account went inactive, as...
I ordered the black case to protect my Hingeless SP, and the orange case came free with my Funnyplaying GBA SP IPS screens. Just so happens you can fit a Gameboy Micro, a USB charging cable, and a second cartridge in there with minimal foam trimming!
As for the black one, it took me much more...
I did the IPS screen, metal buttons, a bigger 1700mAh battery, and magnetic USB C charging. I also took the battery mod a step further and added in male and female JST connectors for easy battery replacements in the future. Pretty much all mods were done except for the headphone jack. I've...
I'm here at Nvidia Labs here in Hillsboro Oregon so my stepdad can put out a few "small fires" with some of the other engineers. Sadly, I had to wait in the car. :/
I need this app compiled into a 64-bit .exe file so I can use it.

I've tried like 4 different ways of importing it into VisualStudio 2019, but can't get it to spit me out an exe file.
Each morning in my hotel room at the Luxor Hotel around 8:30am, we get woken up by the sound of our spare bar of soap moving around in the ceramic soap tray on the bathroom counter. Our bathroom door is kept open in case we hear it, and it's happened again at the time of me posting this blog...
It will be Castlevania themed with a smoked-black shell, blood red buttons, the corresponding sticker and of course, a Funnyplaying IPS V2 screen.
Due to the high prices of a proper light box for the size I needed, I resorted to building my own for dirt cheap using craft supplies. (Foam board, hot glue, tagboard, and a spare LED cabinet light I had in the garage.) I gotta say, it blows away my expectations. I'll get a proper light ring...
Check it out:
I'm super excited! :D
I used MKVToolNix GUI and Meteo avi2gba v1.4 (Eng translation) to make it. LOTS of trial and error bullshit went into making this, but I got the video settings set to the max of 500KB/s and the entire thing is under 3MB of ROM space. Check out the link below for more info!
The project is hosted...
Now I can offer my Test Cartridge in both formats!
The GBA cart is still the Gameboy Color ROM, just keeps the cartridge at a lower profile for people who like that sort of thing. They will come in transparent red, transparent green, transparent blue, and standard dark gray (as pictured). Just...
This one is going to be a Zelda-themed GBA SP, once my sticker gets here. (Seems like I do a lot of waiting for stickers...)
The rubber pads glow in the dark, new shell, new buttons, new 850mAh battery, and will be sold with the Zelda bootleg thrown in free for something to play.
THE TALE OF SADNESS:
Back in 2019, I bought an El CheapoSD from BennVenn. It never worked quite right when I got it, and the shipping back to Australia to have it repaired just wasn't going to be worth it. The navigation was clunky, unresponsive, and I wasn't able to flash anything to the...
It's much easier to maintain the upload on itch.io, so that's where this project will live from now on. It's just a pain in the ass to update the file hosted here on GBAtemp.
