Picked up some N3DS systems. The Pokemon one took me by surprise, it looks really good in person. Got the DK and Mario games for a buck each!, a friend bought them at a yard sale. Couldn't believe it. The Crimson DS lite is pretty mint for $10.00. Rune Factory games from Ebay. Pretty cheap. The 3DS one being less money then the DS one.

It's actually way easy.

Lol, God, I bet that will be difficult

Anyways, I actually need to buy a new she'll and upper screen for my DS Phat, screen has a crap ton of dead pixels, and the shell is damaged beyond repair

Of the sp, the hinges and connecting the ribbon cable to the motherboard through the shell are the hardest parts.
If my ds was that bad, I might just buy another one. The price of a new shell and screen, not to mention your labor installing it, wouldn't be worth it. Unless, I found a sick housing.

Its pretty easy I replaced a bunch with little to no knowledge about how to do it. Id say removing the ribbon cable from the top screen to the bottom is the hardest, but all you need to do is gently roll it and push it through.

I got a new pair of Skullcandy earbuds a few days ago. I thought I broke them earlier because the left one had no sound, but the jack wasn't plugged in all the way :rofl:

Man, that's sucks.
My advice: go to yard sales/flee markets, you're bound to find something there
I do but most people near me when they have them never sell games or systems. Well when someone has a game system they want alot for it. I remember last year some lady wanted $100 for a broken gameboy pocket. it wouldn't read any games and it looked like (and felt like) someone dropped it into a bucket of coke/pepsi. She kept trying to tell me it's a rare limited edition. It was the black version, probably because of the coke. She kept saying that u just have to blow the games for it to work.


Edit: I just got a ds lite with a broken top screen on ebay from Japan for $14. I was to only one that bid on it for some reason. It's a white ds lite and I will be turning it into a gba macro when I get it.
I'm also going to try install a speaker in it somehow with the slot-1 still intact. Most gba macro mods make you remove the speakers because there is almost no room in the housing

    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
