    Any way to increase the battery life of the G-Boy?

    With 18650 cells, they come in a range of mAh capacities... you could get better cells with more capacity from a reputable vendor and increase your playtime. Don't trust what an eBay or AliExpress vendor SAYS their cells are rated at. A high capacity 18650 will give you no more than about 3500...

    1STAGE & DangerBoy's INDIGO BLUE G-Boy

    First coat of OUTER filler primer. Slow process, but worth the results.

    1STAGE & DangerBoy's INDIGO BLUE G-Boy

    Gman, any chance you’ll make SLS cases available (or let Shapeways handle it for you and collect a royalty)? Again, the prints you supply are TOP NOTCH for FDM prints, but I’d be willing to pony up quite a bit more for smoother SLS nylon prints that are a bit easier to prep for painting.

    1STAGE & DangerBoy's INDIGO BLUE G-Boy

    Case shells have first coat of primer inside. With FDM prints, you need to clear out strings, but it’s actually easier to see/get them AFTER the first coat of filler primer.

    Stuck Shoulder Button

    And so long as you're not planning on painting it, a small layer of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) around the edges can often assist with this sort of thing. Wipe off all excess... only the thinnest of coatings is needed. If you are planning on painting it, clean the surface well, use primer...

    1STAGE & DangerBoy's INDIGO BLUE G-Boy

    A quick introduction... My son got his first console, a GameCube, back in mid-2002, just before he started kindergarten. My wife and I had agreed that our kids would share video game consoles and play them in the family room, but we broke this rule when my son got injured, and had to spend time...

    Kingston MicroSD USB Adapter

    Hey, I'm using the Kingston MicroSD USB Adapter that was shipped with the G-Boy kit, along with a Samsung Evo 32Gb formatted as recommended (FAT32 + 32k blocks), but I get errors on my Windows computer when inserting the adapter with the SD in it, AND the Wii won't recognize it in the USB port...

    BitBuilt Welcome Thread!

    Very excited to get started with the G-Boy III! My son and I will work on it together, as the GC was his first console, and we have fond memories of playing Windwaker and Metroid Prime together on it. I generally work on arcade motherboards and other 8-bit computers (C64, Mattel Aquarius), but...

    Just ordered mine! My son and I are going to build it together. We were originally working on a GC portable five to six years ago, but got stalled in the power consumption area. Now my skills are much better than they were, and I can teach him as we go along... Trying to source the other...
