Topic: Gba Sp Inside Dmg button wiring help (2 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
The past few days I have started my first attempt at slapping a gb sp inside a Dmg housing. Everything has gone surprisingly well and I have found relevant info online to complete most of the steps. One of the steps that I can't seem to find is how to connect the Dmg buttons with the Gb sp board. I understand that it is simple step to most people undertaking this mod, but I figured I would learn it on the fly haha. I'm looking for a really clear description/ picture so that I know its done properly. I have found bits and pieces but never the whole process.
I have also read about the common ground Pcb that Kitsch sells. Is that basically running one ground to the pcb and then single wires from each respective button? I'm sorry that i'm such a noob lol
Once I have the buttons all good to go there isn't much left to do!

I havent posted here in a little while, but I was browsing thingiverse- a website made for sharing models for 3D printing, laser cutting, etc, and happened upon this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:382485
Basically, you 3D print the case, install a raspberry pi, screen, battery, and SNES buttons, and you have an emulation handheld. Knew it wouldn't be long until it got discovered over here, so decided to post it. I'll be printing one ASAP, that's for sure.
Has anybody made one of these? Looks like a fun little project. Would be interesting if Retropie worked with this set up!

Re: Relocating DC converter board (4 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Thanks guys, I ended up going with some 26 Awg wire. I threw the old Final Fantasy Adventure cart in and gamed for 20 minutes and everything seems to be nice and cool on the inside. 
messy but functional

Topic: Relocating DC converter board (4 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I am looking to relocate my DC converter board from left side to right side. Is there a preferred gauge of wire that works best? I'm afraid my electrical knowledge is limited and I'm a noob when it comes to modding... I don't want to run the risk of overheating the board. I had planned to use 30 awg wire, is this too thin? I've never done this before and I figured I should ask the professionals 
(The most relevant thread for dc converter boards would not let me bump)

Don't you love that "Toxic Green"? I typically prefer my buttons a different color than the case, but everything about this looks great.
I love the Toxic Green! Since this post I have changed a few things though.
-swapped backlight for a green one.
-black screen cover
-glow in the dark silicone buttons
green metal shielding inside
(I love green haha)
I totally agree with you about button/case colours though.

Quiet sunday so I decided to throw together some of the stuff i've ordered. I had painted an atomic purple gbc white on the inside a couple days ago, so I put one of Kitschs front light kits in it (I will be doing the 101 mod when my loca comes in the mail) I also did an internal pro sound.
I took my old silver gameboy pocket and biverted it, internal pro sound, red backlight. (nonfinite v5) purple buttons from kitsch
last but not least I modded one of my Dmgs.
-White hand held legend backlight from kitsch bent
-Biverted using 74hc04 chip
-clear green ASM case/buttons
-internal prosound(post pot)
-external 1/8 pro sound (pre pot)
-dmg audio replacement headphone board from thurdsay customs
-case LEDS wired green with on/off switch
-speaker mute switch
still waiting on my black screen cover so for now it has a silver

Re: To prosound or not to prosound (12 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
I recently started modding a gameboy pocket and I'm just wondering whether or not pro sounding it makes much of a difference. I've been searching online and from what I can tell some people seem to think it makes a huge difference, while others say it doesn't change the sound enough to be noticeable. If you could share your opinions with me I would appreciate it! I don't want to start soldering and desoldering things before I know if its worth it.

My gaming Dmg! I painted the shell a few years ago and recently decide to throw a few other mods inside. It has a biverted white backlight, internal pro sound, I put in a backlight on/off switch for the heck of it lol. She has a few chips and scratches but it is perfect for what I use it for.

Second time backlighting a gameboy (first time doing a pocket) I think it turned out pretty good. I am still debating on whether or not to change the original buttons.
