    I can't wait to get my preorder. The first thing I ever worked hard for was the gameboy Sp. Saved up for a few months mowing grass in about 5th grade. It's in really rough shape nowadays. I can't wait to breathe new life into that thing

    6:15 I am in awe how this flaw was never caught in preproduction.
    I went to preorder & saw how there are NO Membranes for the Metal Buttons - I asked," how do you prevent the metal-on-metal friction?" It just magically doesn't exist 😹

    The mod looks dope, Makho should be proud. I think I'm with you though, it's not my preference. But if I were going to mod an SP this would be a strong consideration, if it were importable (it might be I just haven't looked).

    I love the regular SP look, this just kind of reminds me of those emulator hand helds I see all over the net. Its sleak don't get me wrong but, something about the regular SP is just nicer.

    I just found your channel, and I need you to review the unhinged gba sp as well. This is my favorite review video I've seen, because you have actual cons about the shell. Thumbs up!

    • @JakeSimmons
      @JakeSimmons  2 роки тому

      Thank you! Even though I hate the SP, I still tried to stay as objective as possible. I would love to review the unhinged SP but I do not want to pay for it since it is so expensive and I don’t like SPs. But if they send it to me, I’ll definitely review it

      Dremel works but flush cutters are cheap and can come in handy other times in life so I recommend grabbing a pair anyways

      Replying . I keep reading the metal buttons are ruining the tact switches. They have a whole Reddit conversation about it with photos. That kapton tape over the switches is a temporary solution & the tape always has to be replaced.

    • @JakeSimmons

      This is in reference to this specific mod where the posts are slightly smaller so gluing it down makes sure they stay in. If you just did a regular sp mod, this would do anything. But you would glue the posts in before the spring and plastic
