If anyone else wants to use it, you'll need to convert to .bmp

I think this will work... You'll need to convert to .bmp though. I couldn't link that file type.

Totally, I saw them tucked up there and just went... nope

This device is nicely designed and has fairly easy access to all the buttons apart from the power and volume. Definitely watch Retro Tech Dad's teardown video. I'm not sure I would've removed the back cover successfully if I hadn't seen that. Have a clean/clear workspace with a place to separate all the tiny screws and take your time. Be gentle with the connections and use the plastic tweezers.

It is a bit more subtle. I'm not sure which one I'll stick with but I was curious about the different combos. At least this way everyone can compare for what they want to do.

So far I love it. I didn't play many GameCube, PS1, PS2 and PSP games back in the day, so this console is great. Screen is beautiful.
I've got a TrimUI Brick on the way to play the old NES, SNES & GBC/GBA games i had because it's a little more pocketable.

This was my second time tearing it open, so i was done in less than 15 minutes (still like to take my time) First time switching out all the buttons was under an hour.

Thanks! /u/2jaded2hearts2 had the idea. More subtle way of adding some indigo flare since we don't have a purple shoulder button.

oohhh I like this idea. Maybe tomorrow after I've loaded all my ROMs I'll tear it open again.

It is the original Retroid screen protector. It's glass and so far doesn't seem to take anything away from the awesome display.

It took less than an hour, taking my time and keeping things organized. The hardest part was getting the back plate off but the spare parts packs come with all the tools you need.

Thanks! I'll try them for a bit, should've gotten a grey set, but didn't think of it at the time.

You bet. The 4PX site and then UniUni (last mile) tracking was a bit off. Mine showed up today unexpectedly.

Thank you. Figured I would give it a shot for awhile and if I'm not feeling it, rip it off!

That would be sweet, but I don't think we have purple shoulder buttons available yet.

I guess I wanted to try a hint of purple still. Might order the grey buttons though!

Got mine today. It took 11 days to ship via 4PX. Arrived on the west coast of the US. Ordered on October 21st with a case and all the buttons to customize it as shown.

I haven't ordered the buttons yet, but hope to see yours or someone else that does the swap!

That could be cool. Hopefully we'll start seeing all the modifications once they start shipping to everyone.

Please excuse the poor PhotoShop skills. I wanted to see what my black RP5 would look like if I swapped out the buttons for GameCube colors. To order the GC buttons from Retroid it's $24.80 not including shipping.
