A set of DMG's I did for a buddy.

Two transparent cases painted from the inside in a nice 80's gradient colour style thing.
Matching schemes and everything. the blue/magenta one might get green buttons, but that's up to him

with matching EMS carts of course.
and backlight + pro-sound.

Both screens also have a custom Data loss logo behind the pixels. It's best seen when the nintendo logo comes on. Photo's are a bit fuzzy tho.
In lsdj, it's more on the background.

Wait, WAT?

This is osm mate, osm. I would try it on my own clearboy but I suck at electronics so dont get surprised if I ask you about commisions pricing on private.. teehee

hehe.. nice to see someone likes the green lantern dmg..

but a new day is also a new project.. and i decided to use some parts that are just layin' around i have no use for anymore, to reincarnate a broken dead dmg.

this is what came out:

Some photos of the DMG that I recently finished:

List of features:

• Black PiL case spliced with clearboy case (sanded on the inside), caselit with orange LEDs.

• Handcast backlit buttons (orange SMD LEDs), opaque milky white colour when not activated.

• Translucent S&S buttons (Kitsch), outfitted with same LEDs as D-pad and face buttons.

• RGB backlight (Nonfinite) hardwired to exact matching colour for the other LEDs used.

• Biverted Pocket screen transplanted to DMG daughterboard (courtesy of NeX).

• Cell phone mirror layer between backlight and polarizing filter, makes screen visible in sunlight again.(Slipped it in even though NeX told me to be careful. XD

• Half-clock mod (two crystals on a SPDT switch, pretty stable).

• batt_dmg Low power indicator (Kitsch).

• PS/2 Keyboard socket for LSDJ use.

• RCA Prosound.

• PCB Mount 3,5mm Prosound. (Apeshit)

• Black Screen protector. (Apeshit)

• Silver backplate with design mirroring a crop circle from Chilbolton in 2000. (Original model, produced by Shapeways) Electrolysis/sanding was performed to achieve a weathered look.

Location of the PS2 socket.

Toggle switch controls half clock mod, rocker switch controls all LEDs except the backlight.

The LEDS behind the clear part of the case light up your palms quite nicely.

The backside when illuminated.

This picture is an attempt to more accurately reflect how the backlit buttons look IRL, because photographing LED light is hard. -_-

Worked on this on and off for quite a while - really enjoy using it so far.
