GalaxyBoy

I ended up finishing the GalaxyBoy a few months ago but here it is! This is the first portable I've made and I'm very happy with how it turned out. I also painted my Wii to match with the Gboy. This project took me about 6/7 months, starting in January of this year when I finished it around June/July. While trying to wire the power LEDs, I somehow managed to burn out both RGB's, so this Gboy is missing that feature, but it's something I can live without.

Awesome build! Great to see more Gboys in the wild and I dig the custom shell, it looks incredible!

This has to be one of the neatest designs I've seen on the G-Boy! Really has that galaxy style 3ds vibe to it:


Internals look pretty solid too! Beautiful work!

Such a great paintjob. Love the Mario galaxy themed case. Glad your other Wii worked out
