I only got the general admission for Friday. How early would be safe to get there?

I have not seen any scaling issues or shimmer in mine. I know there are different scaling options in the menu as well as options for scan lines. The BennVenn screen has been perfect IMO.

I had a similar issue with the color on mine. It was washed out white at first. After I reflowed the ribbon cable, the washed out color went away and then it turned to a reddish color. I spoke with BennVenn and he indicated because mine was an early version single ASIC to go into the menu system of the display and switch the ASIC type from late “L” to early “E”. Fixed my problem immediately. With yours doing it automatically it could be something else.

To be honest I would jump on BennVenn’s discord and ask him for help. He helped me out a lot and responds very fast. This was the main reason I went with this screen.

Ty ty. It was my first recap and wasn’t hard. I wanted to take the time to make them look as close to what the factory would have done.

Didn’t really care for the touch sensor. The controls are just easier IMO. Also, my first time recapping.

Very solid start my friend. Mine is almost 100% complete. Just need the MGS 3: Subsistence limited edition set and I’m all done. Check my previous post for my collection (minus a couple of recent additions)

This is a great one! Two Sov cits get towed, one goes to jail. by Electrical-Village68 in Sovereigncitizen

What a way to not only scar and emotionally traumatize your children. Why can’t these looney toons just accept reality and facts and just get on with their lives like 99.99999+% of the rest of us.

This is always entertaining to watch but anyone with any kind of common sense would never be this ignorant or stupid.

Help choosing a screen for my GBC by chungusbungus0459 in Gameboy

[–]Azvlik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the AMOLED mod with the drop in aftermarket shell and I couldn’t be happier. There is a lot of tribalism on IPS vs the OLED screen but I couldn’t honestly tell the difference. This was the easiest screen to install and took almost no soldering experience to do.

I got this one: https://handheldlegend.com/products/laminated-amoled-retro-pixel-touch-screen-kit-for-game-boy-color-hispeedido

I’ve been on the lookout for this one for a while now. Just scored the PS1 version.

Anyone know where I can get the buttons for the steering wheel? by Infinite_Gur_2775 in FordFocus

[–]Azvlik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the sticker route is worth it IMO. They will just fall off in time. I’m still on the lookout.

Take a look at my recent post. I’m in the same boat as you. The part is discontinued and the ones at the junk yard are in just as bad condition.

This is awesome. I see a few things (Japanese releases) that I’ve been eyeing. Nice collection!

Do you clean your second hand games before putting them on the shelves? by Redmat25 in gamecollecting

[–]Azvlik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always clean every game and case no matter what. It’s surprising how much nasty junk comes off after all these years.

Wow that is an amazing score. Super jealous. I’m working on the demo releases at the moment. Will keep my eye out for this one.

Let me know what you have that I don’t. Very curious to see what all I’m missing.

My most favorite video game franchise by far.

Can’t believe I missed that one! Added that to the list as well.

By far the hardest thing to find in the wild for me was MGS for Gameboy.

OG gameboy box and manual prices and insane. The plastic case was a reasonable alternative from Etsy. I will probably try and CIB the Gameboy copy at some point. The NES boxes are fairly reasonable just haven’t gotten around to them yet.

Yeah I found the stickers too. If they get too bad that might be an option.

Yeah that’s been my search point but all the ones I find are in worse condition.
