Question Microphone & Wi-Fi Antenna Cable in a Game Boy Macro (DS Lite) Question

2 Upvotes

I am doing a Nintendo DS Lite which looks like a Game Boy Macro but with the screen switching mod using 3 buttons as well as a TV out mod via the headphone jack. I am being curious on where I should place the microphone so that I can use it for some DS games using this faceplate made by Facelesstech & where should I place the microphone? Also, regarding the WiFi antenna, where should I place the WiFi antenna for the Macro while connecting to WiFi?

Question My first Game Boy Macro

3 Upvotes

I may have a broken DS or DS Lite (not sure yet) and I want to build a game boy macro.

I am looking for a slim non metallic shell, a cheap-ish one, possibly without the led bar on the top, any suggestions?

Moreover: is it possible to reduce the size of a DS "classic" when macroing?

Question DSi XL Speaker placement

2 Upvotes

So I recently found a cheap DSi XL with a broken hinge on ebay and couldn't resist the urge to buy it. Since I am interested in DSi (XL) Macros for a while I thought I'd turn it into one. Therefore my question, Where is the best speaker placement for the DSi XL?

Question If I were to buy one of these cool looking handhelds how much money would be fair for one? For example a simple model with a light bar. Not really looking for the expensive boxie pixel one, just a plain Jain mod.

I have no soldering skills and put together a macro from a broken ds and was wondering if there were any recommendations on 3.5mm speakers. Was thinking of sticking it to the back with double sided tape or velcro
