I fixed my recharge issue with junk I had lying around! I hacked up an old (busted) XBOX One controller and essentially made my own micro USB breakout board out of it. Wired power and ground to the adafruit 1000c and broke out the charging LED of the 1000c and now we be charging! This idiot won.

For some fucking reason, my usbc breakout doesn't charge. The internal micro usb on the 1000c works just fine... So I'm either going to just run an extension (link) from the usb micro to the shell edge or try a usbc port that lacks circuitry (pictured).

I needed to confirm proper battery operation and charging, figured while I had it open I'd snap a pic. Is it kind of a pile of spaghetti? Yes. Does it work? Yes, very well.

I took away this man's stupid club.... and gave him a gun. Not just any gun though, one that works with his original and "discreet" storage slot. The gun is from Arcee - the poopy one no one likes. I repainted it silver and black and sanded down the side tab so it fits in vehicle mode storage

Boneshaker's 5sp wheels being fully painted silver was something I could not stomach. I flat blacked the inlays between spokes and while I was at it painted the inside of the engine intake and side pipe exhaust.

There was a time when I thought about these. And then I just decided to build a real one because it would actually be useful.

Me: Super Game Boy Clock MOD? That's ridiculous! No one will ever be able to perceive a 2.4 - 4% difference.
Me 5 secs later playing SuperGB: ... Oh... Oh god.... I...
Yeah so I clock modded a Super Game Boy for accuracy.

Game Boy Advance AGB-001 overhaul. Recently found this forgotten GBA in my collection. This was a Glacier flavor but the shell had seen some sun, yellowed and was crumbling as a result. Decided to run with the cold theme. Has a Funnyplaying v2 screen and a lipo upgrade. V2 screens are the bees knees

Overhauled my Game Gear. Out with the aliexpress screen (shit scaling) in with a BennVenn. OEM audio board stayed and I swapped in a retrosix's "cleanjuice" rechargeable lipo power kit. Shell is retrosix and I fucking hate it. There are a couples points of incorrect internal geometry I had cut/sand

Ended up moving my 5v line off of q502 onto cn201. Q502 is hard to solder to and I just couldn't get it to stick. Also, previous owner imtionally bridged the internal speaker with the headphone out using a capicitor leg?! Fixed that shit.

PC Engine GT LCDDRV install nearly done. We are operational! Also installed a new power jack, new audio jack and new NES membranes. Now, time to tackle the shell mod and get all this into that.
