    Hot dog, what a pleasant surprise - seeing this on my YT front page. Looks great, man! Your editing skills are always getting better and more professional. I'm excited to play some Golden Sun on this bad boi.

      Thanks for the kind words bud, hope you enjoy! After seeing the result I'm thinking about making one up for myself now. This seems like the best way to enjoy the handheld (tied with an AGS-101 for the purists).

    Looks great man! I like how neatly you tucked everything away. I just finished my second GBA backlight mod and was really pleased with the results, especially since I'm still kind of an electronics n00b. But hey, I'm learning and from the looks of it I can learn a thing or two from your video's, too!

    I found this video suggestion on my feed and found it very entertaining and kinda nostalgic, i happen to still have 3 gba sp, and since 2 are special editions i was thinking about making also the 3rd one into one.
    If you don't mind, can i ask why do you have shaky hands? It happens to me aswell when i have to do precision tasks

    • @FantasticQuack
      @FantasticQuack  9 місяців тому +3

      Glad you stopped by! I don't think anything caused the shaky hands I've just always had it, but I've never let it deter me from working on very fine/precise things--just have to adjust my aim a few times lol. Check out my portable GameCube video for some very tiny soldering! Wish you the best with those SP's!

    • @jang.6097
      @jang.6097 4 місяці тому

      Having shaky hands too, since i am kid. In general it comes from blockages in the arm & shoulder muscles (also blockages in your brain. If you cant relaxe mentally, your body cant either). The tiny muscles surronding your joints & bones dont get enough blood/energy etc. So they compromise it by shaking. Parkinson in general comes from the same origin. So its not a wrong thing like many say. Actually its your brain trying to save ya. Start implementing muscle shaking exercises. Especially when you are doing any sport. Because this is what fucked you up mostly. Or just using your muscles in a to stiff way. That was my problem.
      So shake them. Support your body with what it is trying to do anyway. Muscle relaxation & shaking exercises. Some vibrations are also good. There are hand massage pistols. Use them too

    Great video! I’ve never tried this myself but I think you can remove stickers with alcohol, then when it evaporates you can stick it again, I saw it in a lockpicking lawyer video once. He was applying it with a syringe 💉

    • @FantasticQuack
      @FantasticQuack  9 місяців тому +2

      You are correct! And I have done that with good results on older systems (mostly when a screw is hiding under them that you need to access), but since this stuff was brand new I decided it was best to leave it. I figure the imperfect centering would probably go unnoticed by most unless they're real sticklers like me ;)

    Seeing your hands shaking while doing this was so painful because I, too, have shaky as hell hands. All I have to do is hold something with any small amount of pressure and it'll be shaking like mad. While I don't have a GBA (I have a GBA SP) this is something I'm tempted to do, along with the Gameboy Macro DS Lite mod and maybe trying to put a better screen on my GBA SP, and seeing you manage this with shaky hands has given me a bit of hope that I'd be able to do it.

    I think we should normalise keeping the original case. I think they look pretty good on the GBA.

    • @FantasticQuack
      @FantasticQuack  8 місяців тому +1

      You can keep the original shell but it requires modification to the plastic for the new screen, battery, and USB-C port. So whether you want to go through that extra effort/risk, and if you want a new color scheme on the exterior, both play into the decision here. There's no wrong answer, but will say I'm surprised how far these aftermarket shells have come in terms of quality. Thanks for stopping by, cheers!

    5:30 kind of wondering about this now. I didnt bend my ribbon for the touch sensor. The video tutorial I followed by the mod supplier, 'Handheld Legend' did not fold it. I was wondering if there was any difference anyway, because I noticed the piece of tape? on the back of the ribbon. Everything stills works fine anyway

    • @FantasticQuack
      @FantasticQuack  5 місяців тому

      the tape was on the top surface of mine, so I had to fold it over to stick it down. It's a capacitive sensor so I expect it would work in either direction. I was just going based on where the pre-installed tape was located.

    Crazy! But what about the shell? I hear that these replacement shells often don't fit perfectly in one way or the other, or feel like they're made of lower quality materials. What is this one like?

    • @FantasticQuack
      @FantasticQuack  3 місяці тому

      I had no issue or complaints with this shell, everything fit just fine. The quality/feel will never be quite as good as OEM, but it's about as close as you can get to the point where the difference is negligible.
