This is the newer revision for the Lite models. Regardless if its old or not, works exactly the same. Only one chip is doing all of the work plus the firmware is upgradable.
I didn't know that was the newest version, I thought that metal circle part was removed on the newest version. They must have added it back. I'm assuming that just gets soldered onto a ground on the board for stability?

Someone gave me a low-end Windows 10 HP laptop.

It looks about like that, but now it has a green Yoshi wallpaper. It will probably be useful for some occasional Windows shit, plus it runs Tails great from USB.
It's offering to do a free upgrade to Windows 11, but I might... not?
Try maybe installing Linux Mint XFCE, runs a lot faster on limited hardware.

I ordered and build a Boxy Pixel hinged SP a few days ago. Has a beefy 900mAh Li-Po battery, a V5 IPS screen kit with retropixels, a USB C charging port on the left side, aluminum shell and buttons. My gold triggers came and I installed them after these pics were taken.

Had custom laser etching done in 3 spots:
The lid is my logo.
The battery compartment lid is my Linktree.
And then I just wanted "Insert ^ Cartridge" in a cool font on the cart slot.

Besides making it my new daily driver Gameboy, It's also going to be used as promotional material on my Etsy store, to showcase my 3D printed shockproof case inserts:

(The insert shown is a prototype, and not the final version.)

I'm fascinated by these GBA / SP restoration projects, where you replace pretty much everything but the CPU - upgraded casings, screens, buttons, battery, ports, chargers, video out, the works - to get the ultimate GBA.

I was hoping there would be similar projects for the DS, but so far the most advanced DS customization project is the Game Boy Macro - to get the ultimate GBA :lol:

I ordered a used Namco GunCon, it should be delivered within 2-3 days :D I want a second GunCon to try the "Double gun" option in Time Crisis 2 :gun:

I was supposed to buy a GunCon today, but the seller I was supposed to pick it up from wasn't home for the appointment, after a 100km drive. Then I saw a half hour old message saying he didn't know where the GunCon was... while he had a whole day to figure this out :angry: He refused to come home, I only saw his mother who knew nothing. I was furious because I drove 2x 100km and sat in jammed traffic for nothing.

So I ordered the last available one from an online game store, hoping this one will arrive on-time.

Did you test it with h2testw to see if it's legit?
I checked in hekate. I think it might be legit, like any legit micro SD on AliExpress. Photo proof after load it up, maybe. There isn't much choice in russian shops even Amazon clone Avito doesn't have such cheap price 80$

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
