    Happy to see you back with the Wood Shell mods. I really enjoy your troubleshooting skills and the logical path you follow on a repair. I am new to electronics repair and your videos are what stimulated my interest.

    Great Mod, going to give this a go on my Gameboy Advance back over here in the UK. Could do a fantastic mode with that "Wood Shell" case also, taking on board the lessons learnt from your video. Fingers crossed and happy to video my follow up. Thanks Adam at Retro Repairs x

    That WoodShell case swap looks amazing, and the rechargable mod I've been wanting to do for a long long time. So this is a much wanted video :)

  • @peppyrobo7049
    @peppyrobo7049 3 роки тому

    I’m surprised with how clean it all is like the grain even matches each other on the battery cover to the rest of the system so you picked a nice winter aesthetic

    That is a super useful and easy mod! it would be great if they made custom battery shells that had the charging port nicely exposed along with a clear section for the lights.

    Pretty cool mod. I was thinking about doing these to my advance that I have sitting around but wasn’t sure of the complexity of it. Love your videos though, got me into taking apart my old handhelds and giving them a proper clean from years of sweaty hand grease!

  • @KingWilliam

    Nice battery mod. I would probably get a reproduction shell and cut that up incase in the future wanted to go back to the original shell. Love the woodgrain case.

    "Wood Shell" looks really spot on. I agree though the hole needs to be not cut out that way. Sure it is functional but it would look tidier cut out. I probably do not have the skills to do the tidy way but it would look great and I am sure you could handle it.

    "Wood Shell" I absolutely love your channel! You're a lot of the reason I got into repairing and modding, since your vids are so detailed, and over time I've become really passionate about it. Whether I win the shell or not, thanks for making these videos! This one was great (the shell and the mod both seem awesome!) and I absolutely look forward to your next.

    I have both this type of mod and AA rechargeable batteries. The price has jacked so much for this mod since I purchased mine, originally, I'll just stick to the rechargeable AA lithium batteries and retain the original integrity of the shell.

Throwing in a LCD screen and finally play that Pokémon Emerald that I’ve had for years collecting dust on my shelf.

  • @333darthste
    @333darthste 3 роки тому

    Wood shell! Maybe if you do another of these battery mods, it could be an idea to mark the end of the usb port with something that will leave a mark on the inside of the battery cover, (soft pencil lead for example?). That way, when you attempt to close the battery cover over it, if should leave some kind of mark indicating where you need to cut a slot.
    Either that or stick a very small and thin bit of adhesive foam on the inside of the battery cover. I'm thinking the usb port will leave an imprint which might again serve as a guide for cutting a slot.
    (I'm only suggesting this as it does seem a shame to cut such a large section out of a very nice case).
    Interesting video anyway and I enjoyed watching, as usual. Looking forward to more content as the nights draw in. Keep up the good work!
