Hi everyone. I'm new here, and looking to make a modified GBA/SP hybrid that is 3D printable and minimally hard-modded board. I hope to have good stuff to post in the next year or so.

Heyo, met some of you at VCFMW 2024 and figured this was a cool place based on my conversations with Alex and Y2K(?) (Names and usernames are hard). I lean towards PS/PS2 mods and video signaling, but other devices are on my horizon.

Hey, I’m a software engineer and a complete newbie in electronics and modding. The only thing I’ve built is an RC plane that actually flied, following some guide on the internet. Got some basic soldering experience. Hope to learn a lot here!

I’m an IoT engineer who’s gotten caught up in retro console modding. This place is kind of perfect for that

Hi Guys,
Thank you for the amazing community.
I'm new to the homebrew scene, and looking for DIY projects to do with my kids.

All the best.

Hello,
Had an account on this forum for about a year but haven't posted anything yet.
Been doing Homebrew stuff for a while, but don't have any experience with portables (yet).
Hope I can contribute to the community!

Hello everyone! Very new to the community but have always wanted to learn how to do this sort of stuff. My family buys abandoned storage units for fun, which occasionally contain broken, beat up, disgusting game consoles. So far, I've only done very simple things like soldering a USB / SD Card to a Sega Classic to expand its storage. Learning to do that took me down a pretty deep rabbit hole, where I soon found how handy all the old Wii consoles that I have piled up can be.

I'm going back and forth about what my first project should be. I'd really love to build a Gamecube Nano... but I'm concerned that's far too advanced for me at this point. I might play it safe and tackle a Noldendo Wii Miicro first. Possibly modify it slightly with the ElectronAVE Kit so that I can have HDMI.

Hi, I'm new here, looking to continue a project I started on 10 years ago to make a portable NES with the original cartridges, and make it look good.

Hey, I'm beth, and I'm trying to build a phone. I'm following basically info I can find to get screens working right now, and 5.5" is apparently too exotic a size to get my hands on

Hello, I dont get how any of that works but hopefully I will figure it out while trying to not cause any significant property damage to myself in the process

Hello Everyone.

I'm a fan of the PS2, I joined to learn more and share. I was drawn to this site mostly because of Wesk and his work. Very talented people here!

Hello

 

[maad_alchemist]

Howdy. I’m in the same boat as most here. I’ve done some minor game boy mods, but I recently got my hands on niftier tools and am in a phase where I want to see what’s possible out there. Excited to see what others are up to and steal inspiration!
