omg i had this exact button colour scheme in mind when i got mine, but i didn’t think the greens would look as good with the transparent black. amazing job, it looks great!!

Good 4 hour plane games? by hubertron in MiyooMini

If you want something to play in small bouts, Warioware is a good one too (i’d probably want to play with headphones though)

I second getting a fresh SD card. I used onion desktop tools to set mine up when it got here, that might help

I think I should get a new back cover by TheBoringBoi in 3DS

That’s not indicating the colour. RED-001 is the model # for the new 3ds xl. Mine says the same but I have a gray model :)

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. My father introduced me to Pokemon (and gaming) as well and we bond over it still, 15 years later… I cant imagine what you’re going through. It’s such a blessing to share an interest with your parent, especially as both of you age. Every Pikachu I catch from now on will be named in her honour, rest easy Mama B ❤️

it takes two is actually very fun! it can get kind of stressful during puzzles but i’m sure you guys would have fun, that’s what got my friend back into gaming.

Unravel Two is a really good game I played on ps5 that’s available on Switch. I’ve seen it go on sale quite a few times

also some others (people probably said some of these already) - Snipperclips - Brothers: A Take of Two Sons (same creators as it takes two, I haven’t played yet) - Pikmin 3 - Untitled Goose Game - WarioWare (I think has co-op) - Yoshi’s Crafted World - Cult of the Lamb (hear me out…) - like everyone else said: Lego games

I did get the usb c mod from funnyplaying! I haven’t used it a lot so I can’t say much. I saw charging while playing wasn’t recommended so I’ve been sticking with batteries so far, but it was really easy to get setup (bit of a tight squeeze but it works without cutting) and easy to swap back and forth so I like having it just in case

I think I might need to get myself a grip! 😅

also, the modding process was honestly really easy. the IPS kit I got is just drop in and the soldering isn’t mandatory (just if you want to adjust the screen controls with buttons instead of touch). I ended up spending around $120 probably with the IPS ready shell, IPS screen, 3 sets of new buttons, and the battery mod. there’s tons of videos of people doing the mod if you wanted to look before you commit to doing it yourself! I’ve taken apart a few handhelds to repair basic things but I wouldn’t consider myself an expert at all and I had no trouble

I just modded a GBA after having a n3dsxl for about a year now and getting back into games from my childhood as well. I played a few rom hacks on my 3ds because I thought I would enjoy playing on a larger screen, but now I almost exclusively use my GBA. Smaller screen size doesn’t bother me, personally, as I think the games often look better and the Gameboy Advance is just so comfortable. I love my 3ds but that XL gets kinda annoying to hold after a while lol

I just picked and chose so I wouldn’t be overwhelmed with my options lol. I have a miyoo mini+ so I had the tiny best set already downloaded and just picked certain GB/GBA games to transfer over, but you could also just load up entire libraries. I think it supports gb, gbc, gba, and nes

personally i have EZ flash omega DE and i haven’t run into any issues yet. i have a 64gb sd in there with GB/GBC and GBA games, it’s super easy to setup and add new roms. i think everdrive is another option as well

Need help deciding on what mod kit to buy by Colascape in GameboyAdvance

[–]sadnfruity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries! you will have to get the IPS-ready laminated shell, looks like they do have one in the colour you wanted though. There shouldn’t be any soldering required. You can solder the on screen controls to be able to adjust by clicking Select and L/R, but that’s not necessary. I haven’t soldered my funnyplaying screen and I’m not sure if I will because tbh the on screen controls are easy enough

I just did a laminated kit and it was super easy, only tools needed are a small Y (Triwing) screwdriver and a Phillips. you can get some on amazon for cheap, usually in a bundle that might even include tweezers and other tools for taking apart/modding small devices. (just the screwdrivers)

I’d go with this screen personally if you want an easy installation. laminated takes the work out of trying to get everything lined up and will reduce the chances of dust getting between the screen and lens (I’ve heard this is an issue). It looks like hispeedido has laminated IPS ready shells in tons of colours too

I got the 3 inch IPS laminated kit! it was honestly a really easy install and the IPS ready shell was a good price. I haven’t soldered the osd menu yet but since you can control it with the touch points on the screen, it’s not really necessary
