    Great content. I really enjoy that you care about these game systems, and take the time to make these videos. I've taken your preferences and am going to do my sp mod. Yeah yeah, sp. Thanks man.

    when placing the screen onto the guide i used some double sided tape to hold the screen in place it worked out well as the guide allows the screen to slide around and the same with the small pcb on the backside of the guide

    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!
