So I got my Super NT by Analogue, but I never liked how the 2.4GHz receiver stuck out of the controller port (circled in red), so I thought to myself:
"The inside of the system is mostly empty space, surely I can solder it internally."
So I did, and here's the tutorial for that. (The...
This is too long to make as a profile post, so Blog entry it is...
My NodeMCU build gets a prototype update:
Shell is fully printed, and very flawed. The new shell (v1.0) has been designed and is currently printing, fixing several flaws in the Proto shell. (Proto shell shown below)
The...
Here's how it looks:
The colored stripes down below are a subtle nod to my branding, I guess. I'll have LSDJ carts for sale soon on my Etsy for just $14.99 each.
I basically am taking my time, importing the GB Studio 2.0 project into GB Studio 3.0, and fixing everything that's broken with it. Some things changed, others had to be cut entirely, and some things didn't change at all. But some of the things that got sacrificed along the way was the fancy...
I got my Swiss disc, SD2SP2 adapter, and my Xeno 2 chip from eBay for just a little over $12 USD, and they arrived today in my mailbox. And since my cube is one of the late DOL-001 units without the SP2 port, I wired that bitch directly into the header holes on the motherboard, and stealthed it...
Today's progress:
Here's yesterday's progress, so sexy and clean:
I'm printing SUNLU PLA at 210°C nozzle, 60°C bed, at 30mm/s speed, with 0.12mm layer height and a 15% infill. I'm not in any rush, so I want it to come out flawless. It's going to be a cartridge holder to hold loose GBC and...
They look much cooler in person. Can't imagine it would affect battery life much either. The red cartridge has a red LED in it, because it looked pink when I used white. If anyone wants an LED added to the cartridges from my Etsy shop, it's only an additional $5 to add inside. I generally try to...
This is the Pocket Color by Boxypixel. Pocket form factor and design, with a Color motherboard inside. I upgraded the battery from 1700mAh, to a 2000mAh battery. Added my ever-so-useful magnetic USB charging nub to the USB C port. And the Retropixel Q5 screen? AMAZING CRISPY PIXELS!!!!!
It's for a friend of mine I used to work with at Walmart. He's the one that turned me to Boxypixel aluminum Gameboys, and he's always wanted one. So for $250 I gathered all the parts and built it for him. (I had to supply the donor SP, that's why the price is high.)
I sent him these pics, and...
It came out fantastic and runs perfectly stable. Might bump it up to 16MHz in the future, we'll see. This barely feels like an overclock. Still useful though.
I started building the NES yesterday, and built the TV today. It was a total of 10.4 hours to build at a relaxed pace, with music and coffee at the ready.
But once I finished, I was excited to see the NES still had a ton of room in it near the front, so...
I modded it with a power LED. It...
I only have 5 so far.
(I'm still hoping someone tries to remake it by editing either Minish Cap or Link Between Worlds.)
Spent some time tonight making stickers for my newest GBA ROM compilations of Classic Gameboy Games.
I found an example script, and modified it slightly to be without the blinking cursor so only the background shows! But now I can extend my Gameboy logo services to the Gameboy Advance!
I gotta be careful when telling off anti-masker trash. 🤣
Placed the order today for a Funnyplaying "Retropixel" IPS screen kit, and that's the last mod I'm doing to this thing and it will be completed. It has a 2000mAh battery crammed inside (that was a bitch to do!), And the charging board (TP4056) was moved into the front housing of the shell. You...
I enjoyed it a lot. Ordered more.
So I ordered 2 Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories repro cartridges because they have 32MB of flash space on them, with a battery for saving the SRAM. I then ordered 2 Pokemon Ruby repo carts to rob them of their blood-red shells. I commissioned an Etsy seller for some custom sticker labels, and...
I ordered it from Retrosix.co.uk, and hopefully it comes out dope. When it gets here and I have it built, I'll show it off here in another blog post, as well as on my Discord server (which you should totally join).
(It will have a custom glass lens as well, also seen in the pic. It will get a...
