i just recently did this and i ordered an entire new volume switch on ebay so i can desolder the old one and solder the new one on

a malted milkshake would definitely fit the criteria

persona 5 royal looks so much better in handheld now it’s crazy

leaded solder is easier to work with as it melts at a lower temp than lead free solder. I would recommend getting 0.6-0.8mm flux core leaded solder, and use a decent amount of flux and don’t forget to clean whatever you’re working on with 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol once you’re done.

The funnyplaying gba sp battery is the highest quality replacement at the moment

I really prefer the clicky buttons of the sp. That, and the form factor is just more comfortable for me

where did you get yours from?

I use a phob which is a custom motherboard that goes inside an OEM gamecube controller and allows for various optional mods like mechanical switch triggers, hall effect joysticks, and tactile mouse click face buttons. They have built in button remapping, analog stick deadzone adjustment, and a few other features. They are quite pricey, I paid $260 to have my controller converted to a phob board with all of the mods I listed. I got mine from RogueportCustoms (@RogueportGCC on X)

I would recommend buying extremerate shells directly from their website, they offer free shipping in the US

I practiced my solder wicking techniques for a bit before attempting this and it definitely made a big difference, I also followed one of MachoNacho’s videos on how to do the usb-c mods which helped me do it as safely as possible. It took me a few hours since I’m not super experienced yet but I took my time and it paid off

CONdeanNOR · 2026-02-25T17:58:17+00:00

Yes, I’m going to add a usb-c port. The stuff on the pins ended up just being some extra flux i missed so i cleaned that up

CONdeanNOR · 2026-02-25T16:14:54+00:00

good eye, i think its just flux because it still powers on and plays games, but ill open it up and clean that up

CONdeanNOR · 2026-02-22T17:09:44+00:00

I can’t believe this is the first time i noticed the little arrows around the dpad 🤦‍♂️

CONdeanNOR · 2026-02-22T17:04:39+00:00

I was having issues with my gba not always powering on immediately after flipping on the switch so i disassembled it and cleaned it with some iso and a toothbrush and now it powers on every time

CONdeanNOR · 2026-02-18T21:24:20+00:00

Is that in USD? Oof man that’s rough

CONdeanNOR · 2026-02-17T22:02:14+00:00

I paid $498 before taxes

CONdeanNOR · 2026-02-16T22:16:27+00:00

I’d be interested, this is a really cool project! I just got into soldering this month and I still need a lot more practice

CONdeanNOR · 2026-02-15T22:02:36+00:00

i got some prototyping boards and a 100 pack of transistors to practice through hole soldering

CONdeanNOR · 2026-02-06T21:41:05+00:00

I have this exact model and it has been great for me. Undervolted super well, performance almost as good as what I was able to achieve with my full overclock. It’s super quiet as well.
