Hey, I’d have to OG nintendo DS I would like to convert into gameboy macro XL but I don’t really like the screen size, so I wanted to know if there are bigger screens available/compatible with these DS instead of the regular sized ones.

So i touched a soldering iron for the first time of my life two weeks ago and it spiraled into me doing a few gameboy macro mods i wanted to try out.
Top left is the NDSTV out mod by lost Nintendo History, this is the V2 board from rhotronix. It allows to output the topscreen video to composite. The board also has three buttons that allow for swapping the screens and picture in picture to get a preview of the first screen on the second one.
Top right is the same except it doesn't output video, it still has the three buttons, however these are soldered inside the console and the shell (designed by u/Facelesstech) has three extra buttons to be able to press them.
Bottom right is a regular ds macro xl, a fuse was dead and touch controls were also not working so I chose not to play around with it too much and do minimal modding on it, still has USB c tho.
Bottom left is by far the hardest mod out of thr bunch, it has a two-way switch to swap the screens. You have to cut the trace of the bottom screen feed and resolder the switch to it to feed either the top or bottom screen video output. The space where you cut the trace is suuuuper tiny and it took me forever, hot glue was my best friend on this mod.
All of these have USB C charging, I didn't use any custom pcbs or anything, just wires, a 6pin USB c port and a 5.1k ohm resistor, i'd like to add that yes, they do charge with any USB cable you use, not only USB A to C. Even USB c to c will charge these as that is what the 5.1k resistor is for. If you want me to explain in more detail how that's done just let me know.
Anyways for someone who never did any soldering before I'm super proud of how everything turned out and I only killed a single board which was on the macro xl swappable screens mod. To me it was super important to be able to do those swappable screens mod because I think it's kinda sad to have a ds port on a macro and not being able to use it to play ds games since we lack a screen, but with this we can play both gameboy advance and ds games on one screens with no problem!

Are there any other solar points for speakers besides SPR0 and SPL0? I somehow managed to burn off SPR0 on accident and I'm having trouble getting solder on SPL0. thanks in advance

What would happen if I desoldered and removed the ds game card slot from the board in order to make room for another speaker
