^Unfortunately it's a bit more difficult to find people for stuff like this these days.
A few of the more-popular aesthetic artists (like Thretris) retired from the scene a while back, and we lost a pretty decent-sized chunk of the chip community when 8bitcollective was finally shut down.
Not that the community hasn't built itself back up or that it isn't better for it, but it's definitely different.

Anyway, I've replied to your PM and once I get some more information from you I'll likely end up sending you a mockup image to make sure you know exactly what you'd be getting, and if I can't nail the exact style you want, I definitely suggest hitting up the Chiptunes = WIN Facebook group. There are plenty of great people over there who'd definitely be able to help you.

Only one copy of Cubic Ninja left, and one copy of Animal Crossing is on hold.
Get 'em while you still can.

Actually, the funny thing about this is that because it's an exploit that runs straight from Cubic Ninja, rather than a bug in the handheld's system menu, Nintendo can't patch it with a normal system update, and the studio that made Cubic Ninja went under a couple years back, so they can't release a patch for it now.
I'm sure they'll figure SOMETHING out eventually, but for the moment I doubt it'll get fixed for a decent amount of time, and I'm sure there'll be a way around whatever Nintendo does to fix it. There always is a workaround.
As far as the emulators go, I haven't tried the NES one yet, but the SNES one seems to run just fine. I just started playing EarthBound with it the other day and haven't had any problems with it so far.
(sorry if my post is formatted weird, I'm posting from my phone)

Edit: I'm totally listing the cubic ninja copies on ebay when I get back to my apartment, but I figured I'd try to give my chipbros a decent price first. :v

Yes, you need it every time.
The current state of 3DSBrew is in it's infancy, and it doesn't actually install anything to the 3DS system itself, it actually exploits a bug in the way Cubic Ninja runs custom stages to boot a launcher that loads homebrew off of your SD card.
Once you've "installed" the exploit, Cubic Ninja will load the homebrew launcher every time you go to the custom stage menu within the game, unless you delete your save data on Cubic Ninja.
I'll be recording a tutorial video within the next couple of days that'll explain it better.

I recorded this for the Chip=Win facebook group a few minutes ago, in my girlfriend's apartment when nobody else was there.
Her roommate walked in and it was awkward.

Yeah guys, GameYob's a lot better than LameBoy.
The Wav channel actually WORKS.
I'm not sure why you're having that issue though, Robin.
I'm not at home at the moment but when I get back I'll mess around with mine and see what I can figure out.

Specifically, I need to know where capacitor 105 and 110 trace to.
A friend recently brought me his Turbo Duo after he’d paid someone else to recap it.
The guy apparently didn’t know what he was doing at all, and ended up not only ripping the pads out of the board to C105/110, but then tried to dig into the board with an x-acto knife to try to resolder the caps in.
It didn’t work, and now because of how screwed up the area of the board is where those caps are, I can’t even see where the caps trace to so I’d be able to just connect ‘em to where they’re supposed to go with a wire.
Google isn’t helping me much in telling what connects to where, and I can’t find any decent photos showing those two caps, because A) the wires for the optical drive are usually covering those two caps so you can’t see them, and B) most of the photos I’m finding aren’t high quality or close up enough that I’d be able to tell where the caps traced to anyway.

Would anyone on here happen to have a Turbo Duo and be able to snap a couple pictures for me?

Out of curiosity, what all are you trying to fit into the case, and why did you opt to stick the jack in the top of the case rather than in the corner you put your switch? Looks interesting...
