I think this is the only time I've been kind of disappointed with a new #GBC build. I wanted to see how these Half Reflection Half Transmission LCD kits are. In bright light, they look almost oem. Low light using the backlight , the screen reflections creates a distracting holographic effect.

Very fun game #Halo Combat Devolved. I really hope the developer get more time to work on it.

Working on a project for the #Retrotink4k using a #Esp32. New serial updates in the new firmware are pretty cool.

Cut down some trees and remove large fallen branches today. This poor guy looked so confused after.

Fresh batteries and cleaning the zebra strips was all that this #Pokedex needed. So happy to own one again.

Got my AGBM-11 designed by @mousebitelabs.bsky.social all built up. Now time to enjoy some #Zelda #GBA

It was a tight fit but replaced the crystal with a new one and it seems to be working. I found some with the correct frequency so I was curious if it would work. Audio sounds correct and was able to trade pokemon.

So this crystal test kit arrived missing two capacitors and its 20mhz crystal is a mislabeled 18mhz. I love aliexpress sometimes.

Let's see if I can figure out what is wrong with these previously worked on boards

A longer version of my Cartridge Slot Extender for the #Analogue #Pocket. I need to make an updated shell but it's scanning those @retrodotcards.com cards just fine. Gerbers are available on my github.

This dmg was probably the most yellowed console I've had on my bench. It was used as a donor for my BMO build.

This one hits right in the nostalgia. My first GBA was a white model I got on Christmas 2001. The only issue with this system was a dirty power switch but I did a recap for good measure. The screen is a Funnyplaying m2 and I added @nataliethenerd.com and @mousebitelabs.bsky.social's Bucket Amp.

This #GBA SP is now charging and ready to go. EM8 needed a reflow, the charge led needed a replacement (now it's a nice blue), and it needed a bodge to reconnect F2 to D1. Going to have to play through some #KingdomHearts to put it through its paces.

V1605 @v1605.com · 08/11/2025
Had to repair some ripped pads and rusted volume slider but the #GBA sp should be back in working order now. Big thanks to @nataliethenerd.com for all the board scans. Would have taken a lot longer to find that broken trace without them.

It's been a bit more chaotic than expected but I think I'm fully migrated to #Unifi UDM SE. I saw a deal to pick one up for open box for $350.

Thanks! I did the painting and wiring for the LEDs (controlled via WLED) myself. The jewel is from @rockergaming.bsky.social

My latest #GameBoy #DMGC build, Adventure Time #BMO themed. The GBC in the DMG shell is just perfect for BMO. Big thanks to @mousebitelabs.bsky.social for open sourcing the project!

Latest repair, one of these #Dyson Air wraps. Turns out the filter just needed a good cleaning with IPA to get it working again.

#GBA cpu came off pretty nice considering the state of the board. Only one leg was partially corroded, so that will probably need a wire once it's on the new board. The crystal on the other hand seemed like a bunch of junk got under it and stuck it on to the board.

Well there's your problem! Definitely going to be a donor for a #GBA PCB.

You would think with all their AI crap, #adobe would be able to catch obvious refund scams on their platform.

Overclocked #Gameboy #DMG with a Super Gameboy CPU. Now I can skip the boot animation and run games 1.5x faster.
