Successfully changed the contact pads under the buttons of my black DSlite that I bought when they first launched the black ones in America. Dpad-right and the A button were shot. I was a little worried that since the unit was so old I would damage a ribbon cable or some other internal something by opening it. But after changing the pads, I tested it with DiagnoSe and everything checks out. All seems to have went well and I don't have to use the backup DSlite anymore. I kinda hated that backup DSlite anyway because the top screen is a little dimmer and has a slightly bluish tinge compared to the bottom screen. My primary DSlite has perfect screens and I've missed them for months until I finally got around to fixing it today. So yay for that. Charging up the old DSlite now....and running down the battery in the backup unit for storage until I need it again. The backup unit has served its purpose well and is also still working fine. So now I have two fully working DSlite's again.
I'm gonna be on GBAtemp a lot less during the weekdays now. I got a new job 7AM to 3PM....not sure what it is I'll be doing exactly, but it's less than 5 miles from home and is pretty much a straight shot from my house to get there. Supposedly, it's going to be something about unpacking boxes and setting parts on a conveyor, but I've worked temp jobs before and many times what they SAY you'll be doing and what you ACTUALLY end up doing are two different things. I'll find out tomorrow I guess. But a job is a job right? Certainly beats the hell out of working at some fast-food grease-pit, that's for sure. $10/hour and 40 hours per week is much better than $7.50/hour and roughly 20 hours per week.....well, you know, except for the time you have to be at work and not browsing around online and generally goofing off.
Been playing Golden Sun DS lately. It's the first RPG I've been able to get into in a LONG time. I like the summons and stuff, but the game is kinda easy, ain't it? I mean, some of the puzzles take a few minutes to figure out, but so far, not so tough. I'm about 22 hours in.....let's see if I ever manage to finish it.
Anxiously waiting for luckwii to finish his Super Metroid Bros. hack. That looks like it will be fun. Kinda surprised more people don't seem that interested. Must be because he just keeps on adding stuff to it every time he gets close to finishing it. I know I don't want to start playing the latest beta and then find out he changed something and it will need to be gone through again. I'm gonna wait until he IS actually done with it. But still, it looks like it will be better than the last remnants of official DS releases left to come, from what I can see anyway.
OK, I've rambled on long enough......gotta crash to be fresh for the new job.
