    Never heard anyone call Analogue sticks "joy-cons" as that's the whole Nintendo Switch controller
    Joy-con means Joy Controller

      was a towel to protect the digitizer, but yeah. Flux and towel strands did not go well 🤣🤣🤣

    Something I just found out recently, at 6:58, you can use the fuse on the other side for charge and power. it's a much more direct path.

    Awesome video. I have the slim and the OLED model. The charger port always annoyed me and the Sony memory cards, that was a big mistake on their part. Underrated console though, way ahead of it's time.

      A subscriber told me about how flexible this device is once you jailbreak it, and it's been my daily driver ever since.
      Like you said, way ahead of it's time.
      Thanks for watching and your thoughts!

    You are giving me confidence that I can swap mine. I purchased it. Modded it. It works amazing. But it looks rougghhhhh. And wants to freshen it up with a white or blue shell. I’ll come back here if I ever get the guts to follow through. Great vid!

    I've kinda been thinking about doing a USB-C mod to my 1000, but I'm also considering just replacing my 1000 with a 2000 because I hate how thick it is... Can't decide lol

    • @retro-af
      @retro-af  Год назад +2

      If the 1000's thickness bugs you, no mod will fix that. Do what will give you the least regrets!

    16 million units seen as a commercial failure. I'd say it depends on perspective.

    hi there, recently i saw your video about repairing a sub's Sega nomad, it was a great video.
    recently i got a game boy micro, it was for parts, but i checked the pictures and it showed the screen worked but the back light was not.
    so, i thought okay! ill get this and a new screen. fast forward to now, i realized that this game boy micro was previously opened up, the 4 pin backlight ffc connector was broken off, the pads are still there, just the top of the plastic clasp is gone i bought two replacement ffc connectors, but my soldering skills are not super great.
    there's also a botch wire installed that i was told is not stock
    i feel id botch up the repair more than id help it be resolved.
    if i sent it in, could you try your best to repair it? or something?
    at best it would make for an entertaining video, at worst the repair doesn't work.
    got my game boy micro originally at a shop called game crazy, i was thinking that gbm i got would have been a simple screen replacement, i was definitely wrong.
    not quite sure who else to ask.
    ill follow up with any info if needed

    • @retro-af
      @retro-af  Год назад

      Heya!
      Sure. I'll give it a shot. Just keep in mind videos like these take time to make and I have a couple in the hopper already.
      If you dont mind waiting 6ish weeks for the results, we can discuss on discord if you prefer.
