  • I think that Retro Modding makes some of the best shells in the business but hard to recommend to beginners because of the amount of extra unnecessary work that it requires :/

    I thought retromodding had the option to get them pretrimmed? It's an extra $5 or something like that. Maybe it's only for the SPs

    You are a bit wrong there, it actually wasn't the games being good that gave it the heads up from the competition... the competition had good games too.
    The real reason was 3 fold (and in no particular order)
    1st, the battery life. Less power means it lasts longer.
    2nd was the price. At the time, parents were the ones buying the systems so they'd obviously buy the cheaper system. Especially since, back then, our parents viewed video games as toys...
    3rd, Nintendo was just a bigger more trusted name than the competition...

    Maybe this was the joke he was making but in the UK you hear people saying the phrase "a metric butt tonne" quite a lot except butt is usually substituted for one of the more explicit four letter words lol. I wasn't sure if he knew that or was just saying it because people in Europe in general use metric but I thought it was funny that he said that phrase because it's something I assumed was only said over here lol

    Your videos are really awesome. I installed an IPS screen and everything is perfect until I have to put the screws back, closing the shell. I think things are really tight because screen goes blank. Don't know if ribbon cable is bending too much... When I take out the screws everything works great again... Any hint? Thanx for your time!

      I did indeed watch the video. Like 3 times over. Is it the RIPS V5 motherboard that lets you be able to do it? I know it has the 36 different colors, but just didn’t know it could produce full color. Unless I’m missing something?

    So I was rehousing my gba sp and I noticed that the volume switch cover does not come of like the others. Is there a way to change that or would I have to get a new volume switch that allows me to do so since my ocd does not let me have the console one color and the volume another.

      You would need a new switch. Some SPs you can swap them, some you can’t.
