Ordered these a while ago from japan. They came in today. I'm blown away at how good the condition of the Game boy light is.

I bought some nostalgia to repair and mod.

View attachment 282865
I bought one about 3 years ago to recap and install a better screen. It also came with the screw on battery pack, that lasts about 15 minutes and I was going to replace the battery in it. Never ended up modded it or replacing the caps cause it still works and cause I don't really play it all that much to even bother with it. I do want to at least mod the battery pack with a newer rc battery

Keep close attention to the old caps at least. Even without usage they may leak.

@subcon959 , a couple days ago I bought psn+ from cdkeys. I was nervous doing this, because I don't want to get banned for getting a cheaper psn+. it was only $39.99 instead of $59.99, but a friend of mine has free psn 'til 2035 due to a mistake sony made with free trials. I'm not sure if sony can find this stuff out or not, but I kinda regret getting it for cheaper because of that. don't want my ps5 account or ps5 banned for it.

@Chary , I beat the first game on the 360, think it was when I was still using a flashed drive, but I'm not sure. haven't really played the other two. I have them, pirated, on my ps3. one thing I remember is that the title in the xmb uses a weird title name pointer for the game name. the editor shows the English name first, but there's a separate English name that you need to change if you want to change the game name. think it says (digital) or has a trademark symbol or something, which I find irritating.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"

    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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:
