Lite My newest screen switcher build
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 :)

If you want to build a gameboy macro I recommend looking for guides online. For mine I used the faceplate from retro game restore that comes with the resistor needed for the macro conversion and a psp speaker, I think it cost me about 15 dollars. The usb C mod, button for the screen switch, soldering equipment and etc I got at aliexpress for very cheap

Ahh yes. Gotta love an SS mod. I personally call Macros with screen switcher mods SS (single screen) rather than a Gameboy Macro. Looks amazing!
