WTB/WTT: Old Broken DS

Super Cameraman · Post by **Super Cameraman** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 4:32 pm

I need a guitar hero controller for really cheap. It doesn't need to work. The strum bar could be broken, or maybe the cable is missing, it just won't work, but I need the plastic case and the fret buttons.

Also, I'm sure someone's got a fat DS with a broken top screen? I really don't care what's wrong with it as long as it turns on and games load. If not, I'll just get one on eBay, but I'd rather get one here.

If anyone has any of these things, I'll see what I have to trade, or see what you want.

What I'm going to do is rewire the D-Pad or A, B, X, and Y buttons to the guitar fret buttons, pop in Jam Sessions on the DS (don't really need the top screen.) for the greatest fake guitar ever!

Also, if anyone has a triwing screwdriver, maybe they'd like to trade it?

Thanks!

EDIT: Don't need the Guitar Hero controller any more. Just a DS. And really badly too!

If anyone has Guitar Hero (for Wii, system + guitar), I get second dibs!

That's a really cool idea! Good luck with it and please document your progress!

Thanks, I definitely will!

It should be a pretty easy build, also, I might put a 1/4 inch phono jack on the guitar to plug into an amp!

I actually already found a lot of broken DS's and Guitar's. I found a few DS lites that just have a broken hinge, but both screens work for under 10 dollars! So if anyone can't beat that, I'll just go with eBay for both. Typing "As Is" into the eBay search is a great way to get broken electronics! Just a heads up.

So I might go with eBay. How much should a DS with a busted hinge/top screen go for?

EDIT: Might NOT get the DS on eBay, some jerk keeps stealing them at the last second.

So yeah, anyone with a fat DS with a busted top screen, I'll gladly take it off your hands!

EDIT: Got the DS, got the Guitar Hero controller, got the screw driver.

I am DONE spending money for a while...
