			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>friendofmegaman says:</i></b><div class="quotebox"><cite>Gamer_freak8520 wrote:</cite><blockquote><p>so, could there be away that i can put my MGB in my DMG case?</p></blockquote></div><p>Dude people made far more complicated mods than this so of course there is a way you can put your MGB in your DMG case, absolutely. You can totally do that. The problem is that it appears nobody has done this particular mod before so you are the first one to try. Do it and share with us and your name will be forever remembered for this mod. If you expect people will give you step-by-step tutorial - scarce the chance it will happen.</p><p>Let me sum up for you the contents of this thread:<br />1. Kitsch&#039;s breakout for DMG won&#039;t work. See uXe post about buttons. You might need to experiment with it there&#039;s nothing wrong in that. After all there&#039;s no easy way.<br />2. LSDJ often crashes on pocket so you could try plugging a LiPo cell instead of 2AAAs - DMG&#039;s battery compartment allows you to do that. Make the best out of it - find a cell with as much capacity as possible and don&#039;t forget protective circuit.<br />3. DO NOT use 9V battery. You&#039;ll burn the thing.</p><p>Aside from that:<br />- Link port, headphone jack, DC outlet and volume pot are different in DMG and MGB. So you might want to rewire&nbsp; these parts from DMG to your MGB<br />- In fact you can&#039;t afford battery contacts on MGB PCB (it won&#039;t fit DMG shell) so your only option is some rechargeable solution<br />- I&#039;m not sure MGB PCB is a good fit into the DMG shell, so you might need to trim out part of the battery compartment</p><p>EDIT<br />And don&#039;t forget about the cartridge slot! It&#039;s better to use DMG slot since it can be screwed to the shell. Thus you need to re-wire it as well.</p>]]></description>

It&#039;s the same console</p></blockquote></div><p>I dont like the sizing of the MGB i like the DMG more as it is bigger and i could fit a lot more mods inside of it it also my LCD PCB of my DMG has broke by the ribbon cable linking the 2 PCBs together (i have asked kitsch if you could fix it, said no).</p>]]></description>

One option would be cutting the piece of plastic to fit the button area of DMG and put tactile switches and wire them directly to GBC buttons... it&#039;s just a rough estimate I need to check with GBC schematic...</p>]]></description>
