So I got more of these tonight.
I am so amazed that my step father has been keeping these in his garage for years, and now they're mine!
They need a lot of care for now, but that's a project I will be doing :D

Very nice indeed. As anyone who knows anything about me will know, I’m a huge retro fan, so I’m definitely going to say it’s a worthwhile job to do :) And I’m a bit jealous, that’s one of the few I don’t have in my collection.

I got a startech anti-static mat as well, but it kept rolling up when trying to take a picture, so no picture.


Endura deluge 2 gloves to replace my old knackered winter riding gloves.

Thanks lol
I'm currently repairing one of them using the other for parts (since they both were damaged, I took the best looking one and used the other one).

Fun discovery about them, the more damaged unit was modded with JiffyDOS, which explains the switch on the side.
The job was a little botchered but I will fix that in a future time, since I'm salvaging that one for parts right now lol.

Is it just me or the 128 keyboards are really cheaply built? I'm currently pissing myself off cleaning and repairing the "least" damaged one and managed to break stuff just from disassembly and cleaning :rofl2:

Thankfully the salvaged parts are useful here, since the entire "good" keyboard frame commited suicide yesterday just as I was almost done cleaning and repairing missing/broken keys :rofl2:

So back to swapping keys and plungers around, hopefully I won't accidentally break more shit this time lol


I'll make a blog post most likely later today about it. I also started a Twitter thread about my progress if anyone cares lol

Look forward to reading the blog about the black sheep of the Commodore family. Such a great machine it could have sold loads had commodore not been incompetent fools in everything they did.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
