[QUOTE="_Snow_, post: 10420411, member: 565129"] This is a brilliant idea. I have big hands, but still am ok playing my GBA SP. Still, I feel that there is a market for this. My fingers do get sore sometimes when I'm playing an intense game. A larger and more comfortable form factor for our giant man hands is preferable to me too sometimes. I would still prefer the clamshell design. However, it would be a bit less portable and more cumbersome. Those of us interested should collaborate and design a GBA XL or GBA SPXL. Design the new case. Get a set of mold injection plates machined and find an outfit to produce the cases. Some 3d printing and mold injection companies will machine the plates themselves. You can either buy the set of plates from them or let them keep the plates, and continue to order cases/parts as needed. For other parts like buttons or hinge components and screws, could just use what's already being produced by other companies. If the button placement for the larger case is too close together - as in if an original PCB was being used, perhaps there could be room for an overlay PCB that could be soldered onto the motherboard, that's simply a wider button placement and or it also accomodates larger buttons.

I'm not a medical professional, but I advise you to speak to your parents about it, instead of gaslighting yourself.
