Yeah, I posted that a while back, it was a dumb idea. I've just finished painting a DMG and a GBC, and I'm frontlighting a GBC soon. Might attempt a NES portable. ^^
Cheers.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if there was a such thing as a PulseVU chip for the GameCube, which slowly dims the LEDs and then brightens, and so on.

My plan is to take my Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness limited edition GameCube (which got a little scratched up when I wasn't home..).
I'm planning on ...

Hey everyone, I thought I'd show a small update, the parts came in and I started working on it (barely) in this pic I have 4 LEDs wired up, because I only got one side of the back done.

Anyway, here it is.

I would suggest getting an answer from someone like Palmer (I know I always refer to him for everything xD)
But yeah..you are dealing with Li-On batteries here, you've gotta be careful.

Yeah, you also have to run wires from the original points on the board to the corresponding ones on the cart slot.

Thanks, I'll try it out.

Well, see I don't have to push it back in, it's my finger that makes contact with one of the componants on top of that small part. It's like a very small black rectangle. Basically this thing acts like it's been circuit bent xD

Hey everyone,

As I'm waiting for my parts to come in for a GBA mod, I've been tinkering around with a GBC laying around and, well. I basically have this odd idea for a case mod, but here's the problem...

I soldered an external AA battery holder (so it'll be easier for the case), and that's pretty ...

Ouch. Poor GameBoy

Oh well try again.

WIN

Thanks!

Or if you don't mind buying in bulk, eBay! Like what I did when I couldn't find an 8MHz crystal oscillator to overclock my GBA, nor could I find blue LEDs. (I bought 20 Oscillators and 50 Blue LEDs off eBay.) Still waiting for them to come in. ^^

Oh and can anyone recommend a GBA flash cart? I'm not going to be using it to run ROMs or anything, just a few movies (purchased legally through iTunes).

Yeah thanks, that's the one that I learned from.

The LEDs are blue. I believe he's just going to stick them in the casing to light up the whole GBA.

Yeah, XD

I'm not attempting to do any screen mod whatsoever.
