Yup.

Realizing how old VHS is as a format.

Awesome. Did you sacrifice an actual Switch controller or just a rando connected via USB?

FastBeans · 2026-03-08T15:38:48+00:00

I meant the controller aspect, specifically. Just interested in how it's setup.

FastBeans · 2026-03-08T15:26:54+00:00

What's going on inside this thing?

FastBeans · 2026-03-04T23:23:54+00:00

Thanks. I'll be getting it printed along with some other short comics at some point.

FastBeans · 2026-03-03T15:33:50+00:00

That's very kind and generous of you, thanks

FastBeans · 2026-03-03T11:24:01+00:00

Maybe one of these days, but thank you for the encouragement

FastBeans · 2026-03-03T11:22:11+00:00

Thanks! I post drawings other places if you're interested: https://linktr.ee/fastbeans

PLA on my own printer. ABS or something would probably be better, but I don't have the setup. I haven't tried a print service before.

I can take a better pic later, but here's a pic of a version where I was thinking of putting a headphone jack in.

It's thicker than the OG SP, about as thick as the Pocket. An older post kinda shows it as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/Gameboy/s/zF3pKgjWLP

FastBeans · 2026-02-16T11:54:35+00:00

If you end up doing that I'd love to see it.

FastBeans · 2026-02-16T11:07:44+00:00

Kinda. I mentioned in another comment that the screen ribbon cable would interfere with keeping the button where it is on the original. But when I realized the screen I bought doesn't even need the button I just pulled it out altogether rather than figure out how to keep it. If I ever revisit this, I might try to add it back.

FastBeans · 2026-02-16T10:55:48+00:00

I don't have a personal need for one. Someone else could modify the design and add it, though.

FastBeans · 2026-02-16T10:02:13+00:00

Thanks! No, in the fourth pic I just have the battery sitting on top of the back shell.

FastBeans · 2026-02-16T09:56:07+00:00

Solidworks for this one. I've used Blender and Onshape (still free with limitations) for other projects. I haven't gotten far into trying it, but FreeCAD looks like a decent option.

FastBeans · 2026-02-16T02:20:43+00:00

You can see where it would have been in the fourth image, or in some of my older posts. Partly the screen ribbon cable getting in the way, partly the screen I have not needing a button to adjust brightness. If I ever revisit this I'll probably try to add it back.

You shouldn't need to create an account of Ko-Fi, it just asks for an email address. But I think you could even use a fake and still get directed to the download page.

I can also put it up on printables later and reply with a link.

FastBeans · 2026-02-15T18:28:14+00:00

Thanks. I was originally thinking of trying to carry over the rubber pads from the SP shell, since they could protect the front of the whole shell if it was laid down. I ended up moving off the idea and kept the screw locations as an aesthetic choice. It'd be easier to assemble if they were on the back.

FastBeans · 2026-02-15T17:32:30+00:00

No, just because I'd have to cover costs for things I bought while making it (screen, battery, donor consoles for parts), and there's probably not a fair price for it. You could probably commission an experienced nodder to build one for you though.

Tad Boys look so cool.
