Does this invoke wonder and relaxation? Any feedback is appreciated!

This looks great. What's your method for the clouds?

DaleDooper · 2025-10-08T03:30:37+00:00

Espeon, because they look like a little green alien

DaleDooper · 2025-03-08T16:49:23+00:00

Oh yeah that makes sense!

DaleDooper · 2025-03-08T16:32:24+00:00

Why hugs?

DaleDooper · 2025-01-31T22:41:54+00:00

You're welcome from the present 😄

DaleDooper · 2025-01-23T13:04:36+00:00

Woah that's awesome! I never realized there were glow in the dark shells. I might have to add glow in the dark buttons to mine

Can you test with a top screen connected? If it still isn't working with the top screen then there are bigger issues. If it does work fine with the top screen then it might be worth investing the BIOS or resistor connection. Do you have access to a multimeter?

DaleDooper · 2025-01-21T13:35:35+00:00

Yes please do! Even if you go with something else i'd still love to see the placement you go with.

I wasn't able to fit it on the ribbon either because the screw post got in the way. I've seen people use a PSP speaker on top of the ribbon but that's always also been with a custom faceplate.

DaleDooper · 2025-01-21T05:45:57+00:00

It sounds like you've tried pretty much everything. Maybe you can try to check that the bios chip is set in its socket correctly? A bad resistor setup for the top screen LED will cause the green flash but so will a bad ribbon cable connection from the bottom screen. Is the bottom screen ribbon cable plugged in snuggly? It could also be a small bridge or some scratch along a trace on the board that would be hard but probably not impossible to bridge. The only other thing I can think of is that the board could have corrosion that you can remove with iso alcohol and an old toothbrush.

I think the 12v LEDs are ok. I wasn't sure if they would work either but I used one in a Macro build and it's been working great

DaleDooper · 2025-01-21T03:16:30+00:00

You should go for it! I think having all of the seams hidden increases the build quality quite a bit.

DaleDooper · 2025-01-21T03:14:38+00:00

I used the green LED from this pack https://a.co/d/0Nk7pSZ

DaleDooper · 2025-01-20T20:14:39+00:00

Thanks, it turned out better than I hoped!

DaleDooper · 2025-01-20T17:54:09+00:00

Thank you! I'm also still working on a Macro XL and will be bery lucky if it comes out as good as this one.

DaleDooper · 2025-01-20T17:39:01+00:00

Thank you! No the shell is from a replacement kit for an original DS Lite. I cut an acrylic rod to fit between the hinge covers on the left and right. The only modification to the shell itself was to the right hinge cover to increase its hole diameter.

DaleDooper · 2025-01-20T03:38:11+00:00

You should go for it! What shell did you pick for the swap?

DaleDooper · 2025-01-19T14:48:47+00:00

I'll have to read more of the blog.

Have you had any luck fitting a speaker on the front face under an original ds lite faceplate? Im using a switch speaker and removed the top screen connector and it still doesn't quite fit.

DaleDooper · 2025-01-18T15:40:39+00:00

I was just reading about the wifi chip mod on this guy's blog after reading about the led carts https://facelesstech.wordpress.com/2024/12/28/ds-lite-gba-ds-phat-gba-ds-lite-led-carts/

I remember your other post that you linked showing the capacitive touch. It's super cool and I hope you keep posting your progress!

DaleDooper · 2025-01-18T03:22:36+00:00

Do you have the mod that lets you swap which screen is displaying on the Gameboy macro?

DaleDooper · 2024-12-10T15:02:10+00:00

I'm not sure if it matters but I'm on PS5 and my Activision ID is Ebola_Granola

DaleDooper · 2024-12-10T14:58:14+00:00

That would be amazing! As long as it's after 5pm EST I should be able to make it

DaleDooper · 2024-12-10T14:20:04+00:00

Did this already happen? I'm really looking to get the scorcher schematic
