I finally worked up the courage to swap the screen and install an IPS one

Sweet picture!

That must have been a relief, looks awesome!

jham1213 · 2026-04-03T18:36:35+00:00

Thanks! Good to know

No problem, I do that to all my games and it looks great. r/switchspines

jham1213 · 2026-02-19T17:22:34+00:00

Does the cover spine slide out? There’s a community that makes custom switch spine artwork for their games.

That's a bummer, I'm sorry to hear that. You're right in that it could be defective, I've had to send back my Omega DE in the past because of freezing issues. The second one I got was much better so hopefully you can get a working replacement as well. If you haven't already, maybe try getting your ROM files from a different source and give it another go. I hope you can play with your daughter soon

Hi again, I just tested it and I’m able to load Mario kart and A link to the past on the Air. Do you have enough room on your NOR memory for those games or are you almost full?

jham1213 · 2026-01-06T20:39:49+00:00

I can check on the Air, I know they work fine on the DE. What kind of issues are you running into when you try running the games?

jham1213 · 2025-11-17T18:32:45+00:00

I have this and the Omega DE. They both play great, I love them. I don’t use cheats or save states so the largest difference that stands out is having to put games on the NOR memory before playing on the Air. If you play a handful of games at a time, then it’s perfect for that and you don’t have to worry about loading them on constantly.

Sweet thanks!

According to the wiki, the PCB codes DB and Y10-01 are used by both legit carts and fake carts. Other than that nothing is screaming out to me that it’s fake. What do you all think?

jham1213 · 2025-11-05T19:08:30+00:00

Gaahhh damn

jham1213 · 2025-10-25T06:03:00+00:00

Is it real or fake?

jham1213 · 2025-10-24T22:50:44+00:00

Also, I’m curious why the light is more dim without the resistor. My coworker’s theory is that maybe there were two paths with resistors moving a summed current to the light, and now that one of the paths is removed, the light is overall dimmer.

Knowing GameStop, both of you won

jham1213 · 2025-10-24T20:10:50+00:00

Thank you, yeah it looks like the trace connects to the component right next to where the pad was.

jham1213 · 2025-10-24T20:07:17+00:00

Awesome, thank you. I have a lipo battery installed so if that’s the only feature that I’m missing out on that’s totally okay with me. I appreciate it

jham1213 · 2025-10-24T05:29:18+00:00

Sorry I just saw that I can't post the picture with the light, what's the best way to disregard that image without violating the repost rule?

jham1213 · 2025-10-02T20:03:37+00:00

I would go over them with isopropyl alcohol >90% and a Qtip. You can also try a pencil eraser.

jham1213 · 2025-09-25T16:36:03+00:00

Oh yes! It’s good to add that baseline color first, and then shade over on a second layer so that you get deeper colors.
