Some pretty rad collections around here! I'm far too lazy to list all my games, but this about covers it for my consoles/handhelds: Atari 2600 NES (x3) SNES Virtual Boy Gameboy (gray, red, green, black, several custom painted, etc.) Gameboy Pocket (yellow, silver, extreme green, clear famitsu...

I just frontlit a gameboy color for the first time today. A lot of things went wrong, but I have it mostly figured out! There's something confusing, though: some of my carts won't read. All of my Pokemon carts (except yellow?) seem to work, but Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Link's Awakening won't...

i love my desk. i'm working on a design for a canvas panel to put on the wall behind the rectangular cubby hole on the top. tv/game times. i'd still like to fit my 360 up here, so i'm thinking about getting a single matching shelf column. that way, i'll be able to put the 360 on top of the...

Re: PS3 controller buttons not working after housing/button Okay, so I figured out that part. It was acting super weird-- the sticks, PS button, and dpad were all responsive, but the face buttons wouldn't do anything! It turned out that the wires that connected the board to the silver thing on...

I just swapped the insides from my ps3 controller to a shiny new housing and added new buttons. Problem is, now the only button that works is the center PS button. Nothing else is responsive, except sometimes the thumbsticks. The menus tend to spaz out now and then, as if it's trying to register...

Re: Great bargains from E-bay / Garage / Yard / Car boot sal Got a transparent pink gba and a wavebird gamecube controller (sadly, without the receiver.) for $9 at savers! The controller itself was a sale item, so it was like $4! Gotta find dat receiver tho.

yeah, i've never had it happen before. so i'm a little curious as to the cause.

Thank you!! :> They're the translucent purple ones from kitsch-bent!

yo. :> i just installed a backlight in this guy: CLICK! and I'm not sure if this is a stupid question or if it's an issue with my soldering or something, but it seems that when adjusting the contrast wheel, my backlit lcd will display both normally and inverted. so, for clarification, when the...

Wowowowow I am in love with those colors. Nice work.

In addition to the backlight and biversion, I personally love painting the insides of the clear ones. Looks really cool with basically any color, PLUS you won't ever wear out the paint with your hands! You could do that and still LED mod some transparent buttons from Kitsch-Bent! Come up with a...

Thanks, man!! I was in a bit of a slump with this stuff for a little while, but it feels good to have some success. And totally! I'll try to get a really good picture of it this weekend.

Hey dudes!! I have some gameboys to show you! This thing is my newest baby. Purple inside-out DMG + sparkly blue buttons + inverted red backlight. No prosound yet. Turned off. The back! SOME POCKETS. Seriously, I wrecked 4 LCDs in a row trying to do the extreme green one. Felt good...

yo, i had like four or five horizontal lines on my MGB screen after backlighting, and I found that if I applied heat to the white ribbon cable, it got rid of all of them except for one. this probably isn't very helpful since I don't remember the exact place I applied heat to, and it certainly...

Thanks for the response, Bibin! I was able to get most of it off, but it was REALLY stubborn. There's a pretty nasty patch of adhesive still on the lcd where the ribbon cables get too restrictive, (on the lower right-hand side) but I called it good and slapped it back together. finished...
