Although that saw might be superior than the dremel. I've just never used one like that before.
I've had bad luck with dremel tools and plastic.
My saw is 0.38 millimeters thick.
No joke: I have overflowing inboxes all over the internet right now...
Why don't any of my paintings or comics get this kind of attention?
You are fucking ridiculous r/n. Beautiful work. 
Dang, looks like I have to recreate an account to dA again. 
All your projects looks so awesome!

Flattery will get you everywhere.
Now it's time to do the thing with the face of the D-pad housing.
Not sure how to explain it in words, but I thing the photos manage to make the process pretty clear.
I'm not gonna lie; this was pretty fidgety, but I'm very pleased with the results.
I almost forgot the groove down the side.
Ahhhh... That's better.
Its coming along nicely! Any thoughts on how your going to relocate the PCB contacts for the D-pad?
Good lord this is beautiful!
How are you planning on creating these panels? In the extreme close-ups, I'm lead to believe you're using foamcore, but what are you going to be using for the finished product?

I started this build with a VERY dead GBA. I just picked up another one with all of the wonderful working parts, and will swap all of the guts from that into the Pokedex. I'll then cut out the d-pad section of the old dead board and wire it to the new one.

Damn it... I knew it was only a matter of time before I had a catastrophic grammatical failure.

Alright... Now I need parts from the new GBA.
Time to fit the other set of shoulder buttons to the bottom of the shell.
I always reach that point in a project where I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do in order to get the results that I want... so I just start cutting.
I've certainly go a knack for making things work when I don't know what I'm doing.
Stay tuned for the undoubtedly complicated relocation of the power switch, headphone jack, and volume controls.
So impressed. You never cut corners! But technically you are cutting the GBA corners XD. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
