I have more games for my Nintendo DS, but only the games closest to my heart make it into the Bible. Though I need to start a second book. I think I'll call that one "The Book of Nitro". Some of the other games I own that are favorites are New Super Mario Bros, Mario Party DS, Mario Kart DS...
I present to you Pokémon Pinball: Slim LED Edition!
I just slimmed down my Pokémon Pinball cartridge by getting rid of the bulky ass-end where the AAA battery goes, and replaced the motor with a blue LED. So now when the game is supposed to vibrate to the pinball bumpers going off, the game...
I made a new GBA SP from my AGS-001 and once my Gyrados sticker for the back of it gets here, I'll be throwing it up for sale on Mercari with a bootleg version of Pokemon Emerald. (So you have something to play) and a new third-party wall charger.
Once it's put up for sale, I'll offer a special...
Just got my Gameboy micro in the mail, and it came with 4 Japanese Mario games. I took each one apart to check for authenticity, and all 4 are legitimate copies. I cleaned them up with some 91% isopropyl alcohol, and put them into a 5x5 shadow box. Came out better than I expected! I tacked each...
I've never liked how the card sticks out so bulky from the back of *ANY* Gameboy, the rumbling is a gimmick I won't miss, and instead of buying a regular-sized repro from China, I've decided to attempt doing this "Slim mod" for Pokémon Pinball on Gameboy Color. I have another copy of Pokémon...
I, Jayro "Danger" Jones, have never liked the Animal Crossing series.
Shocking, I know... But I find the gameplay to be boring, monotonous, and endless collect-a-thon games where you play house just aren't my kind of game. I've tried giving it a chance with each new game, and I even started...
I only spent $40 on the DS Lite and it was overall in really great condition. No major scuffs or scratches on the outside or inside. The only caveat was the top screen had some gross black blob mark on it when it was off, and it turned mostly invisible when turned on. But the bottom screen...
This ended up taking me three hours of total build time. I took my time, followed along with Macho Nacho Productions assembly video, and everything went fluid. My only snag was my shell didn't come with the 3D printed pieces that his did to support the screen, but it doesn't seem to affect my...
Doing a temporary test fit of my new screen in my old GBA SP, until my Boxypixel blue anodized aluminum "hingeless SP" shell gets here. It was so dark and difficult to see anything with the old front-lit screen. (On the right)
Chucked that old front-lit bitch up on Mercari, lol.
It's got...
I've seen two cart flashers floating around ebay and aliexpress, and I wanna get one, but I'm not sure which one is the better or newer model. Do any of you own one, and what's it like?
First one is Flash boy Cyclone:
Second one is just called Flash boy.
At first glance it just looks...
Sore eyes and stiff joints aside, here is the fruits of my labor. I went to thecoverproject.net and downloaded 3 covers to draw inspiration from and to kind of get a feel for an overall general layout. I ended up using Toy Story Racer as my base image, and I slowly replaced all the imagery with...
Turned out pretty good on an official game pak. (And I could have centered it top and bottom a bit better...)
They look SO GOOD!!! (Click for bigger)
I'll definitely be using sticker you.com again in the future.
It's not super rare, but rare enough I guess. It's the light blue Micro, which is a Japanese color. I also scored 4 authentic carts of the mario games with it, and the charger, all for $237.40 (after tax and free shipping factored in), which is a steal for me. I really didn't need the games, but...
Sadly, I don't have the blue rubber pads for start and select, and the colors on the opposite sides wouldn't look accurate, so this is what I get. I'm still plenty happy with it, but I'll order the right membranes later today.
Over on Twitter, I got told (indirectly) how to get custom Gameboy stickers made. Good quality glossy ones that actually stick down well. So I whipped up a sticker design and ordered some, along with some cheap Chinese repro-flash carts and the GBxCart flasher. If all goes well, I can start...
I used GB Studio to make it, and it took me a few hours of messing around to get it working, with zero prior knowledge of how to use GB Studio beyond making a splash screen, lol.
v1.0 - Initial release, has Button Test.
v1.1 - Now has a main menu. It contains button test, and a screen test. You...
I ordered the screen directly from Funnyplaying's website because they're the cheapest at just $48 USD, and I have some new button membranes coming from Handheld Legend. But I ordered everything else I needed to build my aluminum (Aluminium?) "Hingeless" Gameboy Advance SP. It's going to be...
She got her tax refund of $4,000 and got me the Ember 2 adjustable heat 14oz coffee mug. I'm new to this thing, but of all the ones I've researched on Amazon, I kept coming back to it. It's gonna be weird not microwaving hot water in the mug directly anymore, I'll have to get used to that... But...
Haven't fired up my Wii U in a few years since the Switch launched. I missed it.
