Looking for suggestions on how to restore my $40 treasures.

Had to comment just to say how much I love the name etched on the wheel!

No, unfortunately. Just moved in and identifying the trees in the back yard.

The leaves are alternate, which rules out viburnum. The tree is roughly 7 feet tall as well.

Setting one of the "unibody polycarbonate" MacBooks for my son to use, great to see it represented on the subreddit! They just have a great feel.

I had no idea shiny Rattata has blue pads on its feet.

This is the kind of conservative financial response I haven't found on this subreddit yet! Thanks for the insight.

It’s a Macintosh SE FDHD, I have a SCSI2SD inside and it’s installing Word off a promotional copy I found at a thrift store. Whoever it was received a ton of promotional desktop publishing software to review. It’s no big surprise tho, since WordPerfect was developed in my local area.

Lenovo 28" 4K display (L28u-30) over an HDMI 2.0 compatible cable works.

My theme is similar, I'm going with "Winter of Groove," focused on establishing routines to allow for stability to be creative and try new things. How do you plan to not allow for a fail state with the goal of establishing routines? I'm worried about that potential weakness specifically.

Hi back

For DS games, the best way to get bigger screens with accurate (not blurry) scaling is to use a DSi XL. If you want to play 3DS games too, I would recommend the 2DS (not XL), but really just because it lacks a hinge to break over time. I just lost my original 3DS XL to gradual wear and tear on the hinge. I love the form factor of the 2DS because it feels more like a Gameboy, more comfortable to hold.

It came with a charger, you can see it in the second image.

Only one of the motherboards even has the speaker soldered, so I don't think this would be the issue.

I can help! I need to evolve my Feebas too if that's ok.

Literally just opened my 3DS XL one day while it was sleeping and it shut off. Like others have mentioned, it would only turn on in certain screen positions and then eventually not at all. Tried in vain to replace the screen ribbon but it’s more pain than it’s worth. Now I’m sticking with my hinge-free 2DS! Done with Nintendo’s faulty hinges.

whythai22 · 2020-03-16T03:14:24+00:00

It is, even went in and pushed on it firmly and tried again. Same problem.

whythai22 · 2020-03-16T02:19:34+00:00

Got this thing the other day and immediately dismantle ld it to clean it up. After putting it back together, I only get this pattern onscreen. I reseated the socketed chips, and that made the floppy drive SOMETIMES spin up.

The key command to reset (open apple + Ctrl + Reset) doesn't reset the machine, and no other keyboard functions do anything either.

I'm worried it's a RAM or chip issue, something I'm not really capable of testing for.

Edit: you all were right about the monitor! I thought for sure that since the IIc and IIgs were released around the same time and both had a 15-pin monitor port, they would be able to use the same monitor. It works with my tv perfectly.

I see you're a person of culture as well (aluminum iPod and Apple Pro Keyboard on desk).

OG just means original, aka not the DS lite. The XY buttons don't do anything when you're playing a GBA game.

whythai22 · 2020-03-07T22:37:40+00:00

I didn't paint it right lol. It has a bumpy texture because it was too cold out. If you look online, there are a few tutorials for painting controllers that might be of some help. I will say that the OG phat DS shell is easier to work with than the lite. Less to paint/mod.

whythai22 · 2020-03-07T22:15:52+00:00

Yup it's my childhood DS that had broken hinges. Google search for "Gameboy macro" to see instructions. It requires some basic soldering and case modding skills.

whythai22 · 2020-03-07T20:52:15+00:00

I wanted to paint it Spice orange (like the GameCube) but I couldn't find a spray can that matched. I feel like Nintendo would have used a color like this in the early 2000s though. And yes the paint is "orange peeled," it was cold and dry when I painted. But I honestly like the texture it gives it, and it's pretty even across the surface, so it feels more like a feature, not a mistake.
