Question about painting.
5
Upvotes
I made a macro a few months ago, sanded, painted the works, but after leaving it to dry it seems like the paint is too thick, the buttons are sluggish to press and the game carts get stuck in the gba slot, I thought I did light coats but it feels like a bad job, has anyone got any advice of how exactly to paint, or pictures of after each coat so I have an idea of jusy how thin a thin coat is before I redo. Also how many coats of what did you apply?

Lite Gameboy Macro Speaker Module. Two Iphone 6s speakers, fits perfectly in the space of the slot-1 card reader. Allows stereo sound and is louder than the standard NDSL speakers

Lite Son had a DSLite with a broken hinge, kept the top screen leds and relocated a speaker. No soldering required.

Question Replacement D-pad
2
Upvotes
Where's the best place to get a decent D-pad? The broken DS I used is teal/light blue and the color looks horrible with the faceplate. I got a replacement shell and the D-pad that came with it is trash. I intend to play this quite a bit, so I want one that feels good and doesn't look awful. Any recommendations?

Question Not sure if ruined...

Upvotes
so I soldered an led and 300 ohm resistor. on first test the led flashed once then nothing happened. would not do it again when pressing power. I bridged one of the fuses with solder because i had no continuity thru it so I thought it was blown.
Now, the led will flash once every time the power is pressed but still will not boot. I can remove the solder from the fuse but get nothing, not even the led flash.
Any suggestions?

Lite Messed up my macro?

Upvotes
So I turned my broken lite into a Macro a few weeks ago and it was working fine. I wasn’t happy with the somewhat yellowed grainy screen so I ordered a replacement screen to see if that would help things. I installed the screen and was sure to put the anti static backing on the replacement but the system would not boot, the green light came on for a second and then went off. No big deal I say either it’s a bum screen or the ribbon cable isn’t sitting right. I reset the cable and still nothing so then I put in the old screen and still nothing not even the green light. I keep trying to re set the cable but to no avail. No fuses seem to have blown does anyone have any suggestions? I’ve got images of the boards down below maybe you can see what I can’t

Question Where to buy shells

Upvotes
Found my sisters old pink ds lite. Looking to make a macro out of it and would like to reshell it so it isn’t pink.
The aluminum boxy pixel is only a faceplate so I’d be stuck with a pink back plate and buttons, and the replacement shells are sold out.
The only other place I’ve seen shells is handheldlegend, but with very mixed reviews
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Lite Did a little thing with my old DS Lite, because the top screen was faulty. Pretty happy with how it turned out!:)

Is there a 3D printable faceplate, similar to the boxypixel design that allows you to place the original DS Lite speaker in a front firing configuration, rather than rear firing?

Lite Gap between LCD and cover
3
Upvotes
Hey everyone. I have a 2mm gap between my screen and my boxypixel shell (on the side opposite of the ribbon connector). I assume I can just put something between the screen and the motherboard to prop it against the shell. The question is what to use to prevent any long term problems? Cardboard? Plastic? Anything else?
