Why does some people take care of their controllers like they shit on it, and then try to sell them on the Internet for hundreds of pesos?
The fact that it appears you wiped your ass with it doesn't make it special at all fam.
It's weird a lot of people I used to see a lot here in GBAtemp about 2 or 3 years ago, are now banned.
Also, going for the 8 years in this site in a month, let's goooooooooo...
So, I did this installation. The main issue? The shell.
It's really tight everywhere except the screen, which it fits just right. Just waiting for the new Funnyplaying battery, since the OEM battery is bulging unfortunately.
Also, aftermarket hinges don't click as good. Unfortunately one of the OEMs from the console is broken.
Is $150.00 USD an excesive price for a CRT TV? Not that I'm able to buy one since I cannot carry one (I had back surgery a couple years ago from 2 herniated disks), but that sounds sort of expensive at least my criteria.
So yeah, regarding the GBA that I bought, originally I didn't intended to do it with the idea of renewing the console at all... but yeah, as it turns out, I will have to.
The right hinge is broken, the screen frontlight was tampered with at some point and there's dust inside the screen (even between the lens and the screen that I tried cleaning), the battery is bulging, and the shell is a horrible aftermarket one.
So yeah, ha, ha, ha. I saw a deal on an IPS display along with a proper "crystal" shell and... yeah, my GBA SP is going to Mod Land. I dunno how to solder, but otherwise I'm gonna replace even the speaker, buttons, the hinges, battery, etc.
Along with the flashcarts, the total cost for it will be around $250.00 USD, so that sounds neat. I paid less for my New 3DS in 2019.
So in the end I ended up buying an AGS-001, reshelled. The shell is usable bullshit, but the screen is in really great condition and so the motherboard. I may change to an IPS screen down the road.
I should've got a refund from AliExpress to my debit card, but instead they refunded me via their own "bonus" money. I got a little over $50.00 USD so I bought a bunch of shit, including new sticks for my N64 controllers, a New 3DS charging craddle, an MX4SIO, and a pair of New 3DS SNES face plates.
Also, loving the S22 Ultra cameras. They're pretty neat.
So I just changed my phone to a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G (that's a mouthful). Such a weird thing to go back Samsung after almost 9 years. Anyway, the S Pen is kinda stupid and cool at the same time.
So, I bought an N64 with Paper Mario, another game, and 2 controllers, along with a blue Game Boy Pocket from a friend just for $125.00 USD ($2,500.00 MXN).
Was that a good deal? I don't care about overpaying for it since my friend really needs the money, but I just want to understand the value of what I got.
So, lately I've been thinking about abandoning this account with X and WhatsApp, which are the last social media I still have.
Using my cellphone in general is making me more anxious for some reason.
Why does every Fallout game I play, ends absorbing all my attention?
Also, I didn't got neither of those fucking jobs. I want to unlive myself (dunno if talking about suicide is against the rules of GBAtemp).
Wish me luck. I'm in two recruitment processes for a bank and for an audit firm (BBVA and KPMG, for the gossipmonger).
I've been unemployed for the last 8 months, and I'm really tired of it.
I kind of wanted one of those Vita TV things at one point, of course now Pi is way better in my opinion but Vita TV was out a long time before Pi was even a thing.
