The Magnet. (Many pictures, but together only about 1MB)

Once upon a time there was a little Sinchen.

On one day she decided it was time to install custom firmware on her New 3DS XL. She had been pushing this along for months.

She prepared her R4i 3DS Gold with ntrboot and put all the necessary files on the console micro-SD to use the ntrboot method. Time to check the setup.

Oh No! The magnet was missing! She did not find a magnet, although she searched the whole house. Being a well-behaved girl, Sinchen always stays calm in such a situation.

Full of desperation she lay down in her bed, turned on the music but was not able to distract herself from the problem. Only one thought stayed in her mind.

But suddenly, after listening to music for half an hour.… Little Sinchen jumped up and stared at the big old and powerful loudspeaker on her closet. “That thing used to craze the CRT monitor when placed too near.” she mumbled.

Then she put the speaker on the desk and the N3DSXL on top. This triggered the standby mode immediately. Although she felt terribly stupid for not thinking of the speaker earlier, Sinchen stayed calm once again.

And started the SafeB9SInstaller.

Arranging the pictures with heat fuse beads took many, many hours. And at the size of the speech bubble, it gets kind of expensive and tedious. That is why I did not build the though bubble with beads.

I really don’t know how I could not notice the giant magnets to the left and to right of my desk. They can’t be overlooked and are not in any way shielded. It was an obvious idea, but I did not think of it at first. The CRT goes nuts with the speaker next to it. Capturing the effect of the loudspeaker on the CRT monitor did not quite work out. This is the best I could get:

@TeamScriptKiddies Thank you!
@grey72 Why don't you buy some if you want them?
@TurdPooCharger I can get quite angry if something fails that way. Sadly I can't quote myself here. It would probably violate the rules. But the word "Scheiße!" ("Shit!") is definitely part of my rage attacks.
@GunzOfNavarone You have not idea how much patience I need for putting 1000s of beads on the plate (with my shaking hands).

Thank you all for the feedback.

@WeedZ Think of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_therapy for this activity.

I have other ideas like this, but there are some obstacles:
  • I'm sick of beads for at least another week.
  • Depression hit me badly again.
  • The next pictures are more complex and will take weeks to complete with beads. (Here an hour, there an hour.)
  • Lastly I'm not entirely sure one point of it is fully compatible with the GBAtemp rules. It should be okay, but… argh can't decide.
For the last problem: I hope to find another way that is okay with the rules.

Wow! This is impressive. How long did you worked on it? Amazing!

Well that's just adorable! And a lot of work, wow! Very nice :yay:

If you're worried about bending/breaking any rules, PM one (or more) mods and ask beforehand, so you don't waste a ton of time on a picture that will then get removed.

Thanks.

A lot of (bad) things happened since January when I arranged these pictures and I was unable to complete the work until now.

Before uploading the next story I will ask the staff for permission. Even if it’s not okay on GBAtemp my time on this is not wasted (I want to put the pictures on my bedroom walls). Not the pictures are what I think might be problematic – it’s the text/the story.


Despite my personal situation some work is already done (big Pokemon sprites from generation 3). Like this one:

(Bad photo. My camera can't handle low light situation anymore and the photo flash makes awful reflections)
