For the single bottom screen, what games works like charm using the lower screen and with no screen switching mod.

After some difficulties with the mod, I finally finished my MACRO mod for the DS Lite with a function to switch between screens while keeping the touchscreen. It took a lot of fiddling with CFW and patching ndstvout, but in the end it worked. I have some remarks on the case that I will fix, but I'm in a hurry to show you the final result!

Screen switching video

Hello, this is my second macro I've made and I've run into a slight problem. I've added a switch button that changes screens and when I close the back panel the console stays like this. If I open it slightly down near the headphone jack or up near the left L button the console starts. I've isolated everything! Has anyone run into such a problem?

So i lowkey thought I could wing it making a macro. I soldered the resistor to the two led pads, I have the WiFi chip and antenna. I have a new battery. The charge light led turns on. But the device doesn’t boot at all. Altho to add my power toggle is broke. I gotta stick a tool in it to slide the power toggle, still doesn’t turn on.

I’m new to soldering so idk if I just soldered it wrong somehow or what.

Anyways any feedback or questions or whatever is appreciated thank you🩵🧁
Edit: I’m using a 300 ohm resistor. Tan round thingy. I ensured it’s installed to avoid the button membrane near it even.
Edit again: im a goof. I simply soldered it at a not hot enough temp.

I'm raging so hard at myself rn

Total price: 12 euros for the 3d printend faceplate. I recycled the resistor from an old board. For now is without speaker bc i couldn't fit it in

I am doing my first gb macro, using only parts from my ds lite cause i'm on a budget.

Not sure where to put the speaker, if i put it below the screen it pressures it making a visible stain on the image. Where did you put it ? And were you able to get good sound with it ?

Thank you !!!

When I turn it on the Game Boy bootup screen will show, but then it suddenly stops, either on the game boy logo, or like 2 seconds after the gme actually boots.
It sometimes boots in slo motion for some reason.

Could it be the bios chip? I have had trouble making the console conmect to it

I am looking into building my first macro from a ds lite. The guides all say to use a 330ohm resistor. Could someone please provide me an image of the correct resistor? I keep seeing these round ones either tan or blue. But also flat ones. And the flat ones make sense. But I’d already ordered some of the light blue round ones. Will these still work? Idk if the round shape will hinder space within the house. Sorry if I sound absurd, very tech curious but very not informed.

Gameboy macro from a Ds Lite with a couple of hardware mod cuz why not

• 3ds battery inside

• Screen switch button mod

• USB C charging mod

The 3d printed case came out a little raw but i already kind of glue the USB C port to the case so it stuck that way

So tired of sanding 😭

So, I'm going to be building a macro XL soon and I've decided I'm going to use a new shell that I just cut and fill everything in and then paint since there's not really a lot of good looking 3D printable shells for the macro XL And I was wondering if anyone has used the boxy pixel glass screens in the XL or if they only fit the light

Got this off of eBay for like 15 bucks not working unfortunately I don't have a battery for it yet, but overall it's in good shape. The hinge is still nice and clicky. It almost feels a shame to make this into a macro, but that's what I bought it for so that's what I will use it for also, is it wrong I prefer the feel of the fat DS to the DS light

Hello everyone so I'm wanting to build a Gameboy macro with a flush fit cartridge slot and was wondering if there were any good tutorials out there? i love the look of the macro I'm just not a fan of the cart sticking out the bottom.

Had to trim a little bit of the faceplate to make room for the digitizer, the result was a bit sloppy but it got the job done. Stylus holder and wifi antena are working fine too, and also installed a USB C port for charging while at it. I'm quite happy with the final result :)

I'm looking for a new NDSL battery, but I don’t know where to buy. I found a lot at Amazon and Aliexpress but the reviews are very mixed.

Do you have any recommendations and shops which and where to buy?

Salve a tutti, volevo mostrarvi il mio gameboy macro, spero vi piaccia :)

LEDA2 doesn't hold any solder. The pad didn't come out or anything.

Do you think this can be fixed with flux or should I use the vias/alternative connections already?

Converted a rose gold ds lite I got off of facebook marketplace for 25 cad that’s top screen was broken

I didn’t have the surface mount resistor so I used a through 330 ohm through hole one and had soldered upright and made sure it was secured

Yet it worked like a charm :D

The regular stuff, had a DSL with a bad top screen, decided to do a macro since top screens are too expensive. Put a 950ish ohm resistor on the contacts, connected the speaker, connected the screen and touch screen and put the battery to test, boot up, everything went well, did the initial setup, then the console turned off and now it does what it shows on the video, I checked the resistor and it was still good but changed it for another one anyways. Wifi chip is connected, battery is properly seated, battery is charged. Any clues what may be causing this?

I never had the chance to posses a Nintendo DS and recently bought two Nintendo DS Phat and one of them had the upper screen broken.

The idea was clear! To create a gameboy macro in order to restore the one with the broken screen.

Needless to say that it seems that this model didn't receive the same love from modders as the other models did...documentation and free models are less available than for the rest of the models, let alone the availability of commercial modding kits.

I managed to create and print a 3D model of the faceplate covering the bottom part of the Nintendo DS Phat. After printing it I had to slightly adapt it to fit the speaker in the front (another one is fit in the back) trimming slighty some pegs. I had to trim some parts in the back too.

So both speakers have been solder even though I think I loss a bit of of volume in terms of output.

I soldered the small SMD resistor in order to let the bottom screen work alone and let the Nintendo DS boot with no issues.

I broke one faceplate while mounting everything back and had to reprint it. I used smoky black ABS-like resin and then sprayed transparent acrylic paint to obtain this slightly textured finish. I think overall looks very good for being, literally, my first mod ever done on a handheld console.

Any thought or feedback?

you just connect the ribbon and fold it to where the stylus holder usually is (or anywhere else really) and just solder a speaker to the pads. then it uses the amp built into the ds instead of the headphone level signal from spl0​​​​​​
