I'm restoring my old GBA SP on the cheap and I currently need to clean off the dried adhesive residue that's right at the center of the display. Would it be possible to hold the front-light with some clear tape on the edges before I get some LOCA later on? Getting an AGS-101 screen is not an option for me as there's no way for me to get the adapter kit where I live. The only ones available here are for the GBA with the single wire to solder.
yes, you can use tape. id use double sided tape and cut it to fit nice. i once used loca on a frontlight mod for the gameboy color. the loca distorted the picture a bit. tiny spotting in some areas of the screen. i set the loca on the wndow, but there was a screen is the window and the little holes. the little holes let the sunlight through. this created the spotting. i later set the gameboy on direct sunlight and the screen cured a bit more and the spotting wasnt as bad.. id go without loca, the nintendo intended.

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell". -

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
