first build... thanks to hipcat for all the helpful vids. basically followed his lead on most of the build. still trying to get the sticks configured to work properly (https://forum.freeplaytech.com/showthread.php?tid=5049) but thought id show off the build so far.
start/select relocation + full screen mod. need to clean up the holes for my sticks... next time i guess ill make them a bit smaller
i have never soldered before in my life... and it shows lol. hopefully ill get a little better on future builds.
centered the screen by just clipping off part of the LCD frame. i use a little packing material on the dpad side of the screen to give it a nudge toward the center
used command strips to raise the analog sticks up off the board. need to do a better job next time with lining them up better, but it worked out pretty good actually
sacrificial WCW n64 cartride i used for my start/select bridge. in my next build, i will be much more careful to make it look like a finished product. i just kind of ripped it off the cart to test the diameter of the cartridge inside the GBA shell and it worked just about perfectly so i used it!
next i need to extend my speaker wire so i can relocate it to the back bottom abxy side of the shell... will also be working on port cover and a better paint job on my glass screen protector. will post some updates as i get to them. if anyone can help on the stick configuration, check out the link above for that issue please!
