I didn't know you build Gameboys too! :O all my parts for my GBA co.e in tomorrow, except for my IPS screen. I ordered directly from Funny playing, not knowing it was coming from China. I just wanted to make sure I didn't A.) get a fake and B.) Wanted it at regular price. I can't believe everyone marks the screen up by like $20, it's crazy.

I ordered last week an IPS v2 screen for my GameBoy SP and a new (pre-cut) Zelda Minish cap shell. Also ordered a 1100 mAh battery and an EZ Flash Omega (not the ultimate, the one before, that is half-priced). I'm very excited.

Where did you buy those shells from? Can you link the seller? They look very cool.

The black EZ-Flash Reform? That's the one I'm after. I can't find anyone selling it anymore. Seems everyone is only selling the Omega or Omega Definitive, but those cost way too much. I'm just tired of using my original white EZ-Flash 4, I want to retire it to my Gamecube Player for good.

What am I posting here?

Well, in this thread, we are posting and discussing our recent purchases. It could be an electronic device, a video game, furniture, condoms--anything! Give commentary as well. [/COLOR]

An adequate format:

"I just recently purchased a Nintendo Switch at Best Buy! I decided to go full grey on it so it matches with my room. I also got BOTW as a starter. Gotta keep up with the new-gen, people. "

Hahahaha on the avatar. Loved it. :rofl2: I got a new Persian rug, and I'm lovin' it. I also got some of the laggyness out of the PPSSPP [new version] on laptop. Not great, but good enough. Thank you for the post. :)

No, the EZ Flash Omega, this one. I think Reform came before that. I paid €37 for it. I agree it was way too much, but Everdrive is insely expensive and Supercard sucks.

Ah, that's about $45 US, which isn't too bad. I traded a temp member my EZ-Flash III cart and flasher for my EZ-Flash 4, which was essentially $40 back then. I want an Everdrive badly, but I'll have to wait around Christmas time when they do their 25% off stuff. And yeah, you won't catch me using anything that came before the EZ-Flash 4, all them carts suck ass. The software that was used for my EZ-Flash III was super buggy and unreliable, but also depended on Windows XP for drivers, so I was limited to using it in a Virtual Machine as well. The whole experience sucked. Doing a 1:1 trade for the EZ-Flash 4 worked out in both our favors, it seems.

----------------------------------------------------------------

My Pi 4 1GB model finally got here from AdaFruit, so I swapped out my 4GB Pi 4 for this one. It's had the SoC (CPU) dropped down to 350MHz min, and 500MHz max. GPU is set at 250MHz min, 350MHz max. Runs at a cool 31°C with active cooling, and draws less than 1A of power. Exactly what I've been wanting in a seedbox. (The low power consumption and low heat output is mostly what I was after.)

Got covid tested again yesterday, got a Negative result today and I just found out I may have to do it again today. Apparently a coworker, that works the same shift as me, his test came back positive.

Also for anyone wonder how I get my results this fast, I'm a hospital worker.

Sure. The Magikarp one is limited edition. I wanted a Charizard one but they were out of stock and they're not making any more. But the color of the shell is the same so I went with the Magikarp one instead. Really love the color and it looks nice with translucent plastic :)

They have shells, screen kits and other stuff for all sorts of consoles, not just Nintendo ones. Supposed to be very high quality shells. You can use RETROFUTURE as discount code :)

https://retrosix.co.uk/ - These guys are supposed to be good too. They have lipo battery kits which is one thing retromodding is missing. But the UV printed shells they have are not as nice (they made custom designs, but they look a bit amateurish). I haven't bought anything there but planning on buying a couple of their CleanJuice XL lipo battery kits.

Retro Modding, cool. Never bought anything from them because of ports and import tax. I do want Charizard too now, just added an availability notification. I do have to get my hands on a cheap OG Gameboy though, I have a Pocket and a Colour, aside and Advance and an Advance SP.

The ability to send your design is lit though.

Ooooh, I didn't realize they did that. I looked for that on Retro Modding's site but they don't seem to have that option. Although I'm sure they could do it easily, although maybe they're not willing to because it's extra work.

Not gaming related but my new toy since I'm back to being front room DJ.....

IMG_20210210_194325.jpg

Sold my Technics 1210s years ago and regretted it ever since i stopped DJing but these are great. MP3 mixing and a fraction of the price of CDJ1000/2000s!

Got my KX ZSN PRO X earbuds and my DQ Slime plushie in the mail yesterday.

I got to say for the price I paid for these earbuds, they sound awesome. Definitely worth the $25 I paid for them.

Some M4 16mm screws so that I can mount a Dell monitor on the wall. As my old VESA mount is too big to sit in the recessed part of the monitor, I had to use spacers which in turn needed longer screws.
