Lego really knocked it out of the park with the Lego Gameboy. It’s such a faithful recreation of the classic DMG. Love it!

Committed a cardinal sin of modding: screw too long 😅🥲 I was psyched for this new GBA SP shell. Maybe a little too hyped. Punched a screw right through the middle of the main body. It kinda blends in, right? Maybe it just needs a sticker? 🤣 I’ve reshelled many GBs and this was my first big oopsy 🤣

I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) was nearly a walk-out for me. All the characters were dumb as posts, the writing was full of holes, bad guy was predictable… definitely not helping to bolster the original slasher style. 🪝

It’s a Weller WE1010 Desktop soldering iron… something like $100 a few years ago. Looking inside you can see it’s definitely built on a budget. I added all the kapton tape and heat shrink tube to the plugs to add some protection. Can’t believe no connections were protected.

incredimike @incredimike.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

The fun part of modifying your soldering iron is realizing you need to solder something…. inside the iron…. 😆 Eventually, I found my Pinecil USB soldering iron and finished the job.

incredimike @incredimike.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

I added this red LED power indicator light to my cheap Weller soldering iron today. The iron doesn’t come with a backlit LCD or any other indicator that the unit is on, so I’m constantly forgetting to turn it off. Well, not any more! (I hope)

Weller desktop soldering iron with a red LED added above the power switch. The power is on and the LED is shining brightly.

Yeah you’re probably right. I suppose people were sitting in front of the TV to play SFC in Japan… they would have had to!

Did you know that Super Famicom controller cables are less than 1 meter (3’) long? But not this one! Extended the cable to 3m (9’) and wrapped it in leftover paracord. Overall happy with how it looks and ecstatic that I can sit further away from my SFC. #SFC #SNES #nintendo

Swapped out that lame plastic coating on my Gamecube controller cable for a purple-patterned paracord. Perfect! #gamecube #retro

You know, it's kinda funny that WordPress VIP hosting doesn't use the same `wp-content` convention that the open-source product uses. They abstract it all away. Maybe it's not the best approach after all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

incredimike @incredimike.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

Thanks! 😊 I’ve tried a few different speeds but still looking for the sweet spot. I have full control over that. I’m going to try adding a small red gradient on the bottom to see if it helps sell the “base” of the fire, then work on those flames.

incredimike @incredimike.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

Here’s an attempt at a “plasma” effect too. I’m not sure I’ll ever get this one to look good haha

incredimike @incredimike.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

The paper is placed over the display to (1) diffuse the light and (2) protect my retinas. Those LEDs can get super bright if you aren’t knocking down the brightness in code.

Picked up working on demoscene animations for the DCPixel while my PC was on the fritz. This is a simple attempt at the classic “fire effect” … on an 8x8 pixel display 🤣 The low resolution means you really have to use your imagination to see the “fire” but it’s a start haha. #gameboy #gameboymods

Earlier this month I got to thank Scott Kirkland from The Crystal Method for all the incredible music he and Ken produced during my formative years. He was super kind and really friendly to speak with. He even had special shirts printed for the Canadian tour. What a rockstar!

I was there too! Phil played such a great set! It was my first time seeing both Phil and Crystal Method, even though I’ve been a fan for years. Hopefully they come back again!

I haven’t had an in-person Street Pass in years. my last street pass was probably like 2019-2020 when someone walked by my house and my 3DS happened to pick it up!

My Gameboy Pocket Color boots! It might look like it’s on life support, but I’m super excited that the screen works! (…now that I have the correct screen kit, oops 😅) Now to wrap this up into a new shell. I think I have a clear shell that would do nicely. #gameboy #gameboymods #electronics

My Game Boy slideshow generator is almost complete. Just drag and drop some images into it and download a ROM for your Game Boys without installing anything. It runs locally in any modern browser. Give me a few days to wrap it up and make a little YT video. #gameboy #retrogaming

My Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow/Green multicart finally got a custom label! This cart from BucketMouse has a neat feature to share save files between games so you can really collect ‘em all in a single save. #gameboy #pokemon #gameboymods

It turns on!!! Okay… it may look like it’s on life support, but it’s so satisfying to hear that “ding!” after troubleshooting for a few hours.

Yeah, the base price is USD in the shop. The regular version of the game works out to $103 CAD with shipping. Looks like Incube8 does still ship from Canada (unlike Retromoddding) so the shipping price is $14, lower than I thought!

GB Printer. Definitely not the most useful printer in the world, but might be the most fun! #gameboy #gameboycamera #gameboyprinter

incredimike @incredimike.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

I hope to pick up a copy from incube8 one day! I would already have the collectors edition if the CAD-to-USD conversion and shipping worked out more favourably 😝 For now I’ve gotta stick to the digital editions.

The Machine is my favourite indie Gameboy game, created by the talented @jeltron.bsky.social. This game cart still needs a board 😆 but I love the custom holo label. The artwork is fantastic. I’ll build the board once I find a donor MBC5 chip #gameboy #gbhomebrew

Clear shell DMG spray painted “ocean mist”. Inside is an IPS LCD screen which supports TV out, a new power amp, audio amp, probably other junk! It’s been fun to work on and I’m really happy with the pink buttons on green shell. The colours even match the horizontal lines on the screen lens!
