You might have to invest in a new shell regardless. I have the same light blue 101 and for some reason the shell started cracking and breaking apart. I never did reshell mine. It’s currently held together with superglue. :D

Mmmm yeah... that’s nice stuff. If you’re concerned about pics being too large or whatever, you can always hide them in a spoiler block. Speaking for myself, I usually expect a boatload of pics to load whenever I open a spoiler on a post.

Hey Tech Flare! Just because a lot of BitBuilt modders are focusing on this console or that handheld doesn’t mean we’re about other projects as well. Your idea sounds cool and I hope we can help you implement it in a way that works the way you want. So I think the first thing to realize is that...

Noah is a busy man and I do not believe there is a current ETA for the store’s return, although I hope it is soon. I’ve heard whispers of some other site upgrades in the hopper as well, so maybe Noah et al are planning some big reveal. I honestly don’t have the inside track, so I’m probably just...

Whoops! Thanks for calling me out on that, cheese. I really do want to be helpful and not willingly spread false information.

Wiring resistors in parallel won’t change a thing. All it does is create two paths for the electrons to flow and electricity always takes the path of least resistance. But as Jeff said, resistance is additive, so for example if you have a couple of 1 Ohm resistors, you can connect them...

I love the paint! The whole thing looks beautiful! I haven’t watched the vid yet, but I heard good things through discord. Congrats but RIP Lynx because now everyone is going to want to tear one up.

So no built-in controls? That should simplify things considerably. I really like the idea in general but I would reconsider your choice of not having batteries. If you do go with your 13” screen then you’ll have room to spare in your case and it sounds like this won’t be a handheld so you won’t...

That’s so freaking hot. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking a “it would be so cool if...” moment and making it a reality. It is indeed so cool.

Ooo! Love the different heights on the face! Very eye-catching and unique.

I wholeheartedly recommend following the trim guide in the guide hub. It was pretty straightforward for me to do and it was my first major trim. The guide is missing one troubleshooting step in case you can’t get it to boot post-trim, but it’s a pretty easy fix as long as you’ve got a good...

Site-breaker is the new standard by which all portables will be judged. Congrats on the accomplishment and the recognition you’ve earned!

Sounds totally feasible! Laptops are fun but I hope you have a good plan for the hinge as that’s typically the boon of clamshell designs. Otherwise I’m looking forward to progress on this!

@Enrique if you’re on mobile and don’t see Aurelio’s sig, turn your phone sideways. It should appear with your phone in landscape.

Just made mine. My email address starts with “fibb” just so you know which one is me. ;)

I’m not wanting a PowerMii, but I’ll pitch in $10 for the cause. It’s not a donation; I’m paying for that GC+ you sent me a while back. ;)

Had this Game Gear that I bought off a friend about two years ago. It's been sitting around dying for a capacitor overhaul. Figured I might as well do an LED backlight mod while I'm at it. The cap job I did shortly after getting the Gear and I was able to confirm it worked, but I didn't have any...

I literally never use a pinout when wiring composite on a Pi. I just start by wiring ground to whichever pin appears to be the logical ground then poke around the other pins with the video wire until I get a picture on my screen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thirded. I used Adafruit’s Retrogame for my past Pi projects. Pretty easy to configure, at least a Linux noob/nood such as myself could handle it. Drawback is afaik it still doesn’t implement analogs, which something tells me your project won’t have anyway. Go ahead and prove me wrong!

Looks good! So many modders 3D printing these days but it’s good to see some people keep the art of frankencasing alive. I can tell a LOT of time went into this so far. But just now starting your worklog? You’ve been holding out on us, man!
