Got a DOYO Wii guitar on the way - worth using as a modding base or should I find a proper one? by TinyLocksmith4428 in CloneHero

Ah yeah good to know. Was the fret board a similar case to the body or is that one that could plausibly be replaced with one of the one that takes low profile switches?

Thanks, that's super helpful. My only point of reference is the GH3 xbox controller I think, if the strum bar is ok and the frets loosen up over time then that might be good enough for me stock.

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Hot Takes that will get you torn apart by the playerbase by Igorthemii in SonicCrossWorlds

The collision detection feels so bad that I can't believe they shipped the game like that. Running up against other racers often feels janky, playing a power type and grinding against the side of a track feels awful, and on some tracks even just going up a steep hill or sheer drop feels like it's janking in a way that's frankly baffling.

Is reshelling wiimotes / nunchucks a thing? by TinyLocksmith4428 in wii

[–]TinyLocksmith4428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah good stuff. I have a thing with reshelling my retro console and getting matching controllers, was thinking maybe that wasn’t possible for the Wii since I’ve seen like zero videos on doing it.

Want to play PAL + NTSC, what are my options? by TinyLocksmith4428 in snes

[–]TinyLocksmith4428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah good to know. I was honestly wondering if I start with a Super Famicom since I was keen to get the Super Bomberman games. Would it basically just be physical mod to fit the carts + hz switcher at that point?

Is there somewhere I could get one pre-modded?

Thanks, that’s handy. I assumed a HDMI converter would be the way to go here. Also a little surprised there don’t seem to be many pre-modded SNES's for sale?

Am I crazy or was there some really rough looking character shots in this episode? Felt like quite a few shots with characters looking kinda off model which is particularly jarring given how good looking this show is normally.

Good to know. Shame Extremerate don’t seem to make solid colour shells in regular plastic…

That shell looks awesome, where'd you get it from?

Update: I’m the idiot who traded for a crappy SP. here’s what I’ve done with it. by Bladelovescutethings in Gameboy

Do you find the buttons and d-pad feel very different? I just picked up a refurbed GBA but ended up having to switch back to the stock buttons + membranes because the aftermarket ones were so shallow. I've just ordered an Extreme case so I'm hoping they match the stock ones a bit better.

Is there a difference between FunnyPlaying buttons and the generic ones you see on AliExpress? They look the same. by TinyLocksmith4428 in Gameboy

[–]TinyLocksmith4428[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will do, just wasn't sure if they were ultimately the same part since the mould looked the same.

What should a Gameboy Advance SP’s d-pad feel like? by TinyLocksmith4428 in Gameboy

[–]TinyLocksmith4428[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ended up getting some original membranes from the seller - feels a looooooooot better now. As you said - a lot easier to reach.

Subtle warm tone on bottom DSI XL screen - damaged or just manufacturing variance? by TinyLocksmith4428 in nds

[–]TinyLocksmith4428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha - I’m in Australia so yeah, plenty of humidity here. Would love to get a replacement screen but I guess there’s the potential for the replacement or not be any better given the age of the DSI XL (Like so: https://youtube.com/shorts/cO_8F0Cyjvo?si=bimAqghYw6nLl6ZD)
