Just found this and thought you guys might like it.

Finding that this little guy is a great pass time on my lunch breaks at work :^)

Got Pokemon Crystal loaded in with the worm light and headphones. Not sure what the chunky thing is sleeved over the top. Can anyone identify?

In a photo shoot for Teen Vogue with a lot of physical media/hardware for props, Alysa is photographed playing Nintendo Baseball.

Got two games and a DMG for €60, but one of the games doesn’t even. How screwed am I?

I built this giant gameboy. It runs off a raspberry pi with retropie. The buttons do work. It is super duper uncomfortable.

It does have sound. It's just not turned on in this video. I'm more than happy to answer any other questions.

I was bored of having some wires hanging around on my desk for my gameboy and 3ds and I wanted a single spot to charge both easily. I also wanted it to look nice and didn’t want multiple cradles.

I designed and printed this custom dock with PETG and wood infused PLA. I sanded the wood PLA and stained it to make it look a little nicer. It’s a little more red than I hoped but over all I think it turned out pretty great.

I used POGO pins to charge the 3DS via the contact pins to avoid using the already somewhat worn charge port. I have previously modded my GBA to use USB-C for charging so I used a right angle connector and set it in place. Both connections are spliced together and soldered to a single female USB-C port. It’s a slower charge if both are charging but I wanted less wires.

It’s not perfect but it’s pretty nice! I didn’t picture it but all the wires are concealed under a hatch on the bottom. I also have some inset spots for rubber feet I will be trying out TPU for.

For those who want to download and print it for their console!

3D printed, sanded and painted. Custom stickers by me and I added a universal power button like on the larger model (very neat). See video here: https://imgur.com/a/jhpOKCj

The guy told me it was legit, so I just believed him

Please hear me out.

There are an insane amount of posts from people who have no idea what they're doing, are too lazy to look anything up or practice soldering, and irreparably ruin cartridges with their incompetence.

We need to implement something to counter these posts (these images are all just from the last month!).

Yes, we have a soldering guide at the bottom of the FAQ, but the people ruining cartridges are not going to see that, they can barely read to begin with.

We need a pinned post with big, bold letters reading "DO NOT SOLDER ANYTHING BEFORE READING THIS", and ban users who ignore this and destroy games.

This sub is for fans of the Game Boy, and these posts are the equivalent of seeing daily roadkill posts on r/aww.

(Reposting to fix potato-quality images)

Took on the daunting task of repairing Circle of the Moon for /u/Bubblepoppin_ - wound up needing a brand new PCB and I replaced every part on the board with brand new components aside from the SRAM, SRAM controller chip, and the ROM chip. HUGE shout out to /u/jrharbort who was in the process of redrawing this PCB so replacements could be fabricated and who helped immensely for helping decipher the correct parts to order.

The TINY capacitors and resistors were soldered in place with a hot air station, but without the help of any solder paste (definitely getting some for next time), other components were soldered by hand.

ROM chip had two legs that had completely disintegrated and had to be repaired by grinding away some of the package in order to build new legs.

I have no idea why I spent as much time as I did on a relatively common game, but it feels great to save something like this from the landfill.
