A broken boxed japanese grey sega saturn that i managed to fix.
3 Bricked (1 mint) wii u's because i couldn't stand the idea of retarded scalpers gutting them for parts instead of fixing.
A classic working xbox, needs maint. Still warranty sealed.
Japanese indigo clear and wii white GC controllers.

And 2 of these for scientific purposes among a few other things:

Someone gave me a low-end Windows 10 HP laptop.

It looks about like that, but now it has a green Yoshi wallpaper. It will probably be useful for some occasional Windows shit, plus it runs Tails great from USB.
It's offering to do a free upgrade to Windows 11, but I might... not?

Try maybe installing Linux Mint XFCE, runs a lot faster on limited hardware.
 
I ordered and build a Boxy Pixel hinged SP a few days ago. Has a beefy 900mAh Li-Po battery, a V5 IPS screen kit with retropixels, a USB C charging port on the left side, aluminum shell and buttons. My gold triggers came and I installed them after these pics were taken.

Had custom laser etching done in 3 spots:
The lid is my logo.
The battery compartment lid is my Linktree.
And then I just wanted "Insert ^ Cartridge" in a cool font on the cart slot.

Besides making it my new daily driver Gameboy, It's also going to be used as promotional material on my Etsy store, to showcase my 3D printed shockproof case inserts:

(The insert shown is a prototype, and not the final version.)
 
I'm fascinated by these GBA / SP restoration projects, where you replace pretty much everything but the CPU - upgraded casings, screens, buttons, battery, ports, chargers, video out, the works - to get the ultimate GBA.

I was hoping there would be similar projects for the DS, but so far the most advanced DS customization project is the Game Boy Macro - to get the ultimate GBA :lol:
 
I ordered a used Namco GunCon, it should be delivered within 2-3 days :D I want a second GunCon to try the "Double gun" option in Time Crisis 2 :gun:

I was supposed to buy a GunCon today, but the seller I was supposed to pick it up from wasn't home for the appointment, after a 100km drive. Then I saw a half hour old message saying he didn't know where the GunCon was... while he had a whole day to figure this out :angry: He refused to come home, I only saw his mother who knew nothing. I was furious because I drove 2x 100km and sat in jammed traffic for nothing.

So I ordered the last available one from an online game store, hoping this one will arrive on-time.
 
Did you test it with h2testw to see if it's legit?
I checked in hekate. I think it might be legit, like any legit micro SD on AliExpress. Photo proof after load it up, maybe. There isn't much choice in russian shops even Amazon clone Avito doesn't have such cheap price 80$

Bought a metal detector for $40 from AliExpress. Not sure it'll be any good, but could be fun to find stuff buried.

Sure would be nice to find gold, but not getting my hopes up. lol

Did you know that finding old buried war artifacts, can bring in some money?
 
I got a tripod mount for my phone to go on the end of the weird twisty arm on my desk. Thinking about doing some YT stuff with all the tech crap I've accumulated and this seems a decent way to have that classic point down at desk POV.
