My DMG keyboard is pissing me off. In the process of building it, it has consumed 3 cartridge ports, 2 motherboards, 2 daughterboards (including screens) one DMG shell, almost a month of my life, and most of what remained of my sanity and peace of mind... Thanks a lot, creativity, you managed to turn me into a complete basket case... and it still doesn't work yet...

Anyone have a Gameboy with a busted screen they want to give me? I need another cartridge port.

Yes. Yes you do.
I'm not quite done with it. The terrible lighting in my room, mixed with the camera flash, make it look like shit. BUT! I assure you, it looks pretty badass in person.

I get to make custom EVERYTHING, not just Gameboys. The store owner loves my work, and I also get to use the store as a front to sell some of my paintings and take commissions... it's a pretty sweet gig.

The Thing in back ground of the VB pic is just a store display. I used to work at the mall, right next door to the Shit Factory (re. Game Stop) and they'd give me pretty much any of the old posters and displays I wanted.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I got a job at a local used game shop, repairing consoles and doing mods. I've also been given my own display case at the shop to put customs in. Because a lot of my time is spent building customs for the store, I haven't had an opportunity to work on my keyboard. I'll post some fresh stuff as soon as I have some free time to work on my personal projects.

Anyway, here's some pics of what I've been doing:

There is a difference between reinforcing your argument, and being a dick about being right.
You clearly knew you were being abrasive, you even apologized for it. Just the information would have been sufficient.
Thanks for being just like every other forum troll on the internet.

I distinctly remember saying something about using acetone free polish remover and a Q-tip, so who cares if I was wrong about soaking it for hours?

nail polish remover will totally damage the plastic if it sits too long, or isn't removed totally

nail polish remover = acetone (unless you've used some sort of acetone-free variety).  well, acetone is a main active ingredient at the least

I'll clarify: Acetone free nail polish remover, q-tips, and patience.
Also, you'd basically have leave this thing in a bucket of acetone npr for several hours to do any damage. The acetone in nail polish remover is highly diluted in alcohol, and the PVC that the Gameboy is made out of is specifically formulated to resist corrosive materials... the screen protector on the other hand, may get damaged, but those are cheap and easy to replace.

NAIL POLISH REMOVER
It's what I use to get glue off of my fingers and clean up run-off while I'm building models.
It works quickly and wont damage the plastic.

Still waiting on some parts. Considering relocating the motherboard closer to the cartridge port and simply extend the ribbon cable (re. pull the port for the ribbon cable and give it an extension). Prototyping is a serious pain in the ass... thinking about it keeps me up at night...

Hey man, if I never get proven wrong, how the hell am I supposed to learn anything?
But, yeah, I hope I get proven wrong on this one. It sucks when you brick something you're trying to modify.

Don't toss it out. It could be good for parts.
Also, someone might know exactly what's wrong with it, tell you how to fix it, and make me look like a colossal ass-hat.

I think you're boned.
The pocket has a very delicate screen and zebra strip... you could have damaged it just by bending it back.

Yeah right, I think nitro should just shut up. You can build it smaller anyway.

Dude, Nitro is hella cool. Visit his website... you'll learn things.

Well, from your reply I wasn't sure if you understood my post, so that's why I pointed out the regulator/converter thing. Since you mentioned 2.3 V, even if a made up number, I assumed that what you were addressing was the problem of the voltage being too low when the batteries are about to run out.
With regard to the LCD, the first thing to do is to establish whether the LCD is at risk at all. If not, you can just use a 9 V battery and be done with it.

It was intended to be a wild exaggeration (I know you can't boost voltage x2) and I think 3.4-5v is about as low as you can get...
Anyway, running 9v strait into the DMG is a colossal waste of power, as the regulator will just convert any extra power into heat, and I'm not sure the regulator in the gameboy can handle 9v for an extended period of time. My idea simply extends battery life and eliminates the risk of damaging your DMG.
